Step-by-Step Tutorial
Step 1: Section Your Hair

Start by brushing your hair thoroughly to remove knots and tangles. This creates a smooth base for your extensions. Then, section off the part where you want to place the first clip-in piece. Pro tip: Use a tail comb for precise sectioning!
Step 2: Attach the Base Layer

Grab your clip-in extension and open the clips (usually 1-4 per weft). Make sure they’re fully open and ready to secure.
(Safety Note: Metal clips may cause allergies, so be cautious if you have sensitive skin. Keep clips away from kids and pets.)
Step 3: Blend with Mid-Layer

Place the extension under the sectioned hair and press the clips firmly into your natural hair. Start from the center and work outward—you’ll hear a satisfying click when they’re secure.
Step 4: Final Styling & Locking

Repeat the process, moving to the next section of your hair. Keep layering until you achieve your desired volume and length. Blend each piece with your natural hair for a flawless look.
