2. How to put in clip-in hair extensions

A set of clip-in hair extensions typically consists of 7-10 pieces of different widths, depending on the brand and the length and thickness of the hair extensions. As each piece serves its own purpose, putting them in the right way is essential for a seamless blend. We’ll show you how to put in 7-piece clip-in hair extensions, as this is a standard set.

2.1. Brush and section your hair

Brush and section your hair

First, you need to gently brush your hair thoroughly to remove any tangles or knots, starting from the ends and working your way up. Then, use a rat tail comb to section off your hair by creating a horizontal part at the nape of your neck. Secure the top section of your hair with a clip to keep it out of the way while you work on the bottom section.

2.2. Apply the first 3-clip weft

Apply the first 3-clip weft

Once your hair has been sectioned, take the first 3-clip weft and brush it out. Before attaching the weft, ensure it fits the parting line perfectly by measuring it against your head and making any necessary adjustments.

Brush through the bottom section and tease at the root, where your clip-ins will be attached close to, to help keep the extensions stay secure. Open all the clips and position the weft along the parting line, making sure it is centered. Attach the middle clip first by bending it until you hear a “click”. Once it is in place, pull the weft taut and attach the left and right clips. Let the top section of your hair down to cover the weft. This is how your clip-in hair extensions are applied and you just need to repeat the process on the next steps.

2.3. Apply the 4-clip weft

Now you need to re-section your hair for the next application of the 4-clip weft, which is the largest hairpiece and is designed to be placed at the widest part of your head. Make a horizontal parting line just above the top of your ears and secure the top section with a clip. Hold the weft to the parting line to figure out its ideal positioning.

Again, brush the bottom section and tease at the root. Attach the two middle clips first, making sure there are no bumps by pulling the weft taut before attaching the two clips on the sides. Release the top section of your hair to cover the weft.

2.4. Apply the second 3-clip weft

Now it’s time to attach the last large clip-in. Section your hair again by making a parting line about two inches below the crown of your head and holding the top section in place with a clip.

As usual, brush the bottom section and tease at the root. Take the 3-clip weft and position it at the center of the parting line. Attach the middle clip first, followed by the clips on the sides. Once they are secure, you’ve finished applying clip-in hair extensions at the back of your head. Now only the small clip-ins are left for the next application.

2.5. Apply the 2-clip weft

Apply the 2-clip weft

2-clip wefts are designed for the sides of your head, providing added length and volume for a seamless blend with the longer hair extensions. Start by separating a straight section of hair, approximately two inches above your ear on one side, and clip the rest of the hair away. Attach the clip-in close to the hairline as usual.

2.6. Apply the 1-clip weft

Apply the 1-clip weft

The smallest hairpiece will be applied right above (about 1-2 inches above) the 2-clip weft, or wherever you want more volume. Once you finish securing it, repeat steps 2.5 and 2.6 for the other side of your head.

2.7. Style your hair and finish

Now that all of your clip-ins are applied, brush your hair for blending layers of your hair. You can trim or style your hair if needed for a seamless blend.

The first time you use clip-in hair extensions may sound a little bit challenging, but don’t worry! Once you’ve got the hang of the application process, it will take you less than 10 minutes to get a flawless hair transformation!
