Make a solid base for your clip ins
In order for the clip in hair extensions to have something to hold on to without
sliding, it is important to create a firm base. This will help secure it in place and
prevent tugging on your hair. You can create this by teasing the roots of the section
to which the extensions will be clipped on.
Find the safe zone
A very important step when clipping in your extensions is figuring out what your 'safe
zone' is. This is the area on your head where the clips will not be seen. Usually, for
fine hair, the safe zone is anywhere below the line of your eyebrows. Draw an
imaginary circle around your head from one eyebrow to another; anywhere below
that circle is where your wefts are going to be clipped in.
Position your extensions
We all have different hair types, head sizes, shapes, etc. Therefore, although there
is a general sequence in which extensions should be clipped, there is no one right
way to do it. Play around with the pieces and find what positioning works best for
you. Fine-haired ladies especially need to pay attention to the top of the head, to
make sure that the wefts aren't peeking through (remember the safe zone)
Choose the pieces
Sometimes, you won't need to use all the pieces, and that's absolutely okay. If
you're struggling to find space on your head for all, there is a good chance that you
don't need to use all of them.
Tease your Crown
Once your extensions are clipped in, you will notice the difference right away.
Naturally, it may be noticeable that you have more hair at the bottom than at the top
of your head. To make it look more natural, it's a great idea to tease your hair at the
crown to add some volume to match the rest of your hair.
