Clip-In Extensions
Clip-In Family
Illustration -- About our illustrations
Clip-in extensions are wefts of hair with small pressure clips sewn on, which you snap into your own hair and take out the same day. They add length or volume without a salon install and are available in textures matched to natural hair, from kinky straight to coily.
Distinguishing characteristics
Nothing is braided, sewn or bonded: the clips grip your own hair and the set is removed before sleeping. Choosing a texture that matches your hair is what makes them blend.
Advantages
Temporary, reusable, and no commitment or chair time.
Considerations
Clips can slip or show in fine hair, and daily use can stress the strands they grip.
Warning signs
Breakage or sore spots where the clips sit.
Preparation
Stretch or blow out your hair near the clip points so the clips have something to grip. Practise placement in rows from the nape upward.
Daily Care
Brush or finger-detangle the wefts gently; don't sleep in them.
Night Care
Remove the clips and store the wefts flat or hung up.
Washing
Wash the wefts separately with gentle products and air-dry them.
Scalp Care
Change clip positions so the same strands aren't gripped every day.
Refreshing
Re-define curly wefts with water and a little leave-in.
Removal
Open each clip fully before sliding it out; never pull a closed clip.
Styling tips
Use a few wefts for volume in a puff or ponytail, or a full set for length.

FAQs
- How do I make clip-in extensions blend with natural hair?
Choose a texture that matches your own hair; that is what makes clip-ins blend. Curly wefts can be re-defined with water and a little leave-in.
- Can I sleep in clip-in extensions?
No. Clip-ins are not braided, sewn or bonded; the clips grip your own hair and the set should be removed before sleeping.
