Clip hair extension

Types of clip hair extensions

Clip hair extensions are a popular and easy-to-use type of hair extension. They come in different materials, colors, and lengths to suit different hair types and preferences.

• Natural human hair:

  These are hair extensions made from real human hair. They look and feel like natural hair. They blend well with the natural hair and can be styled using heat tools like straighteners and curling irons. Human hair clip-ins are available in different lengths and colors. This makes them perfect for anyone who wants a natural and long-lasting hair extension.

• Synthetic hair:

  These clip-in extensions are made from synthetic fibers. They are more affordable than human hair extensions. Clip-in synthetic hair extensions come pre-styled in some cases. This makes them convenient for users who want to achieve a specific look. However, they may not last as long as human hair extensions. This is especially true if hot styling tools are used on them.

• Silk top:

  These extensions have a silk material at the top where the clips are attached. The silk top makes the hair extensions look like the natural scalp. This gives it a realistic appearance and allows the hair to be parted in different directions. The clips are securely attached, ensuring comfort and stability when worn.

• Ombre:

  Ombre clip-in extensions have a gradient effect. They are dark at the top and light at the bottom. This style adds dimension and color to the hair. It is especially popular among people who like a bold and stylish look.

• Highlight:

  These are hair extensions with strands of a different color. They add highlights to the hair. They are a great way to add color without dyeing the entire head. They are available in various colors, from subtle pastels to bold, bright shades.

• Wavy or curly:

  These hair extensions have a wavy or curly texture. They add length and volume to naturally curly or wavy hair. They are also suitable for those with straight hair who want to achieve a curly look.

• Blended:

  Blended clip-in hair extensions combine different hair types. They mix human hair with synthetic fibers. The blend gives a natural look and is often more cost-effective than fully human hair extensions. They are easy to care for and maintain.

How to choose clip hair extensions

Choosing the proper clip in hair extensions can be challenging with the variety of options. Here are vital factors to consider when selecting hair extensions in bulk.

• Length

  Extensions are available in various lengths, from short to long. Determine the length required by the target customers. Those wanting to add length should choose longer extensions. Those adding volume can select shorter ones.

• Weight

  The lower the weight of the extension, the better. Lightweight extensions are comfortable to wear for long. They also feel more natural and blend well with real hair. Those that are too heavy tug at hair strands, causing discomfort.

• Color

  Match the extension color with the hair color. Extensions come in solid colors and shades with highlights. Solid colors blend well with most hair colors. Use color swatches to choose the right extension shade. Stock different colors to meet the needs of various customers.

• Material

  Offer buyers different options: synthetic and human hair. The natural hair option looks the most real. It also blends well with natural hair. This makes it a perfect choice for those looking for a natural look. However, it is pricier than the other option. Synthetic extensions are affordable and come in various colors and styles. They are good for customers who wear extensions occasionally.

• Attachment method

  Consider the attachment method when choosing hair extensions. The clips should be of high quality and easy to open and close. This makes it easy to attach and remove them. Look for clips with silicone inserts to hold the hair better. More advanced extensions have a weft design that makes them easier to attach.

• Brand reputation and reviews

  Choose extension suppliers with a good brand reputation. Look for those who have a record of providing quality products. Read reviews to see what other service providers say about the brand. Avoid brands with negative reviews, as the chances are that the products are substandard.

• Customer service and support

  A supplier is essential to the relationship between manufacturers and business buyers. Choose one that offers excellent customer service. The support team should be available to assist customers in case of any issues. Look for suppliers that respond promptly to inquiries and have flexible return policies.

How to use, install, and product safety

Using and taking care of clip-in hair extensions can be easy and fun. Following the short guide below will help users achieve the best results.

• Preparation

  Start by washing and drying the natural hair. Put all the hair in a ponytail or bun. Use a gentle hair tie to avoid leaving marks on the hair. Now, take a good look at the natural hair. Identify the spots where the hair needs volume or length. Check the hair texture and plan how to blend the extensions for a natural look.

• Sectioning

  Use a comb to make a straight line from one ear to the other. This line will separate the top and bottom sections of the hair. Clip the top section away. Now, the bottom section is visible. Start placing the extensions here.

• Attaching the Extensions

  Open the first clip on the extension. Take a small section of the bottom hair and place the extension on it. The extension should be as close to the scalp as possible. Close the clip to secure it in place. Repeat the process until all the desired extensions are in place. Check the clips and ensure they are secure and well-placed.

• Styling

  Take down the top section of the hair and blend it with the extensions. Use a comb or brush to blend everything. Use single clips to add more volume to certain areas. Use a curling iron or flat iron to style the extensions. Ensure the curling iron is at the lowest heat setting. Style the hair to achieve a natural look.

• Product Safety

  To remove the clip-in hair extensions, gently open each clip and slowly slide the extension out. Do not pull the extension out fast, as doing so may snag the user's hair. After taking out the extensions, store them in a safe place. For example, keep them in the storage box they came in. Always keep them in the storage box they came in. This simple care routine will help keep them safe until the next use.

Q&A

Q1: Do clip-in hair extensions damage hair?

A1: If the user is gentle with their natural hair and the extensions, they generally won't experience any damage. The main risk of damage comes from harsh pulling or tugging when attaching the clips. This can cause strain on both the extension and natural hair follicles, potentially leading to breakage over time. To avoid clip-in extensions harming hair, users should carefully follow application and removal steps without yanking or roughly handling either set of locks. Taking care not to apply too much tension will help keep all strands healthy and intact.

Q2: How often can someone wash their clip-in hair extensions?

A2: The frequency of washing depends on usage. If worn nearly every day, wash them 7 to 10 wears. Infrequent usage requires them to be washed only when visibly dirty or tangled. Proper extension care means not washing them too frequently.

Q3: How long do hair extensions last?

A3: With proper care, clip-in hair extensions can last many months or even up to a year. Their lifespan depends on how often they are worn and the level of daily handling and styling. Extensions that are used more occasionally will naturally experience less wear and tear and can last longer.

Q4: Do hair extensions fall out?

A4: Well-made hair extensions should not fall out if properly cared for. The quality of the extension and gentle handling during attachment and removal are important for maintaining a secure fit.
