What are clip-inhairextensions and how are they attached

Clip-in extensions are perfect if you want to turn your hair into beautiful flowing locks instantly. But, of course, on the down side, they have to be removed at the end of the day. So clip-ins are good for a party, a special date or just whenever you want to look different for a few hours. They are much cheaper than salon-made permanent hair extensions. Another advantage is that clip-ins don't damage your own hair in any way.

Quality hair extensions are several strands of hair, each attached individually. Usually 3- or 4-inch wide pieces go on the back of your head in several layers, and a few 1- or 2-inch wide pieces are put on the sides. As the name suggests, each strand is attaché to your own hair with a clip. With a little bit of practice, clipping the extensions in becomes rather easy and takes only a few minutes. Taking them off is even easier.

You can usually find 14”, 16” and 18” clip-in extensions. Anything longer puts too much tension on your own hair.

Who can wear clip-in extensions?

Clip-in extensions are suitable for people whose natural hair is shoulder length or longer. If you have medium length hair, extensions can make it longer. If you have long but very fine hair, or your hair is not in its best condition, clip-in hair extensions are a great way to bring richness and fullness to your hair.

However, clip-in extensions will not work for women with very short hair. Extensions only look natural when they are mixed in with your natural hair, so if your hair is short, people will notice that you are wearing extensions. If you have a short haircut, but are dying for long locks, buy a wig that is similar in color to your natural hair. High quality designers wigs look very natural - nobody will guess that you are wearing a wig unless you tell them. If a wig is not for you, then you can go for salon-made hair extensions that are braided or glued to your own hair. These stay in for several months, but cost significantly more than clip-ins.

Do clip-in extensions look natural?

It depends on the quality of extensions you get. First, you should know that hair extensions can be made from natural human hair or from synthetic fibers. I will be honest: synthetic hair extensions are cheap, but you get exactly what you pay for. They just don't look right. High quality human hair clip-in extensions, on the other hand, look like they grow from your own head.

If you look online, you will find many brands of clip-in extension. It is best to go for a well known maker of hair-pieces and extensions, such as Diva in a Box, PutOnPieces or Raquel Welch. See pictures of clip-in hair extensions (will be a link) from different brands.

Since the extensions are mixed in with your own hair, color matching is very important. And the good news is that human hair clip-in extensions can be colored to match your own hair color exactly. However, I wouldn't recommend doing that at home - it is better to color your extensions at the salon. You can also use hot iron on the human hair extensions to curl them a little.

How much do they cost?

The cost varies greatly, depending on the material. Synthetic hair extensions will cost you less than $100. For a real human hair extensions, you might pay from $200 to $400. However, you can get good discounts through online hair extensions and wigs shops

Clip-in hair extensions can be real fun. They will help you to create a different image instantly, which is very important for a busy modern woman.

Getting Hair Extensions-Step 1 Of 5

Determining whether hairextensions is for you.

Hair extensions are not a one-size-fits-all. There are many factors that you should consider before you even think about getting hair extensions.

1.Time. Long hair requires extra time and work. You will need to allow more time to shampoo, condition, blow dry and style your hair if you get hair extensions. If you currently do not spend a lot of time on your hair, consider how you will make more time in your daily routine to keep and maintain long hair extensions.

2. Money. This is a major factor. Hair extensions can be very expensive. They can range from $ 500 - $ 6000 and up.

Quality hair that is used is directly linked to the price you pay. The higher the price, the better quality --- or at least it should be.

Most of the costs involved in hair extensions is labor. Hair extensions can be very tedious to attach - sometimes taking hairdressers 2-8 hours to attach a full head of extensions. This stylist will give all his / her regularly scheduled appointments to work on your hair.

And hair extensions should be maintained regularly, from every 2 weeks to several months depending on the method. Some hair extensions removed and re-installed. With some methods, you must use a new hair dryer each time re-installed. All of this will require more money.

There are extra hair care products required for some types of hair extensions. Do not spend money to get hair extensions and then destroy them by not buying hair care products right.

3. Hair Condition. Is your hair is damaged in any way? Hair extensions might not be an option for you. Human hair is very heavy and extra extra burden on already damaged hair can cause hair loss naturally --- even cause permanent hair loss. There are a variety of methods designed for damaged hair, but you should always get a second opinion if your hair is in bad condition. Hair no worse than damaged hair!

4. Follow Directions. Are you following the directions? Many hairdressers will send you home with a detailed list of how to care for your hair extensions. If you choose to ignore these instructions, you may be very happy with the results.
