Do It Yourself Hair Extensions

Need an instant makeover? You don’t need to rush to the nearest hair salon to get it, instead you’ll need a set of quality hair extensions and the right know-how to apply them.

Clip in hair extensions are the fastest and easiest method to getting the hair you’ve always wanted. They come without the pricey salon visits and complicated attaching procedures that can potentially damage your natural hair. Women all around the world are using them and even celebrities are huge fans of this incredibly simple way to get that red carpet look without a fuss or a hassle.

To get a start on applying your own hair extensions, make sure that you have a good set to begin with. This usually means human hair extensions which are the best quality on the market due to their stunningly natural appearance. Plus, with human hair extensions you can blow dry and flat iron them to personalize their look to the desired texture for your hair.

So once you have your extensions, here’s what you do with them:

1. Make sure they’re washed, dry and completely untangled before you insert them into your own hair. A matted look is the last thing you want. Your own natural hair should also be washed, dried and untangled for better results.

2. Clip your locks up leaving a horizontal parting about 1.5 inches above the nape of your neck. Comb through this layer of hair and select the longest weft of hair extension.

3. Firmly but gently secure the clips of the extension into the layer of natural hair as closely to your roots as possible.

4. Let down another section of hair and use it as the next layer to which you’ll attach the second longest weft of extension. Section and attach as many times as you find necessary until you have the right volume and desired style.  

5. Once you’re finished. Blend the extensions in with your natural hair using your fingers. Remember not to comb through any curly or wavy hairstyles otherwise they’ll lose their intended shape. Also avoid using silicon based products since these threaten to help the hair extension clips to slide out.

With a quality set of clip in hair extensions you’ll never have to go to a hair salon for a complete change ever again. Just remember to handle your extensions with care and you’ll continue to enjoy their amazing results for years to come.
