Clip In Hair Extensions

Applying clip-in extensions is straightforward and becomes second nature with a little practice. Start by brushing your natural hair to remove tangles, then create a horizontal parting from ear to ear around the nape of your neck. Clip up the rest of your hair and attach the first weft, ensuring each clip snaps securely into place. Move upward in sections, adding wider wefts to the middle of the head and smaller ones to the sides.

Once all the pieces are attached, gently brush your natural hair over the top layers to blend everything together. Light styling, such as curling the ends or smoothing flyaways, can help achieve a seamless finish. Avoid placing wefts too close to the crown where hair is finer. Many of our community and customers find watching a visual tutorial helpful, so we also offer easy step-by-step videos on our website. With a few attempts, the entire process typically takes just 5–15 minutes.

Clip-in extensions are a great choice for anyone looking for a flexible, non-permanent way to add length, volume or thickness. They work well for most hair types, especially shoulder-length hair or longer, and are ideal if you prefer choosing when to wear extensions rather than having them in constantly. Clip-ins can also be useful for occasional styling, such as events, weekends or photoshoots, without the upkeep required by permanent methods.

If your hair is very short or extremely fine, you may still be able to wear clip-ins, but you might need lightweight, seamless wefts or shorter lengths to ensure they blend naturally. A quick consultation with our colour-matching team can help determine the best option. Clip-ins are also perfect if you’re new to extensions and want to experiment without committing to more complex installation methods. Ultimately, they offer versatility and creative freedom while keeping your natural hair healthy.

The lifespan of clip-in extensions generally ranges from 6 to 12 months, but many customers get even longer wear with proper care. How long they last depends on how frequently you use them, how often they’re washed and how much heat styling they’re exposed to. Remy human hair lasts far longer than synthetic alternatives because the intact cuticle resists dryness and maintains smoothness.

To maximise longevity, reduce unnecessary heat, wash the extensions only when they start to feel product-heavy and always store them in a protective case. Using nourishing hair masks or leave-in conditioners on the mid-lengths and ends can help maintain softness. Over time, the hair may become drier or less responsive to styling, which is a sign that a replacement set might be needed. With consistent, gentle care, you can enjoy your clip-ins for many months of beautiful wear. 

When choosing clip-in extensions, the most important factor is the hair quality. The best results come from 100% Remy human hair, where all cuticles run in the same direction to reduce tangling and ensure a natural appearance. You should also consider the construction: seamless wefts are ideal for fine hair, while double or quad wefts provide extra thickness for fuller styles.

Look at the weight and number of pieces included – this helps determine whether the set will blend well with your natural density. Secure, comfortable clips are essential, as they keep the extensions in place throughout the day. Colour variety matters too; choose a brand with a wide shade range and a matching service to find your perfect blend. Ethical sourcing and quality testing are additional signs of a reliable product. Considering these elements ensures you get extensions that look great, last longer and feel comfortable to wear.

Yes. All Cliphair extensions are made from 100% real Remy human hair, chosen for its quality, durability and natural movement. Each bundle is collected responsibly and processed in a way that preserves the direction of the cuticle, allowing the hair to stay soft, manageable and less prone to tangling. Because the hair is genuine, you can wash, curl, straighten and style it just like your own.

Cliphair takes quality control seriously. Every batch of hair undergoes SGS-certified testing to verify purity and ensure it meets strict safety and performance standards. In addition to this, our team inspects each set for strength, elasticity and colour consistency. This combination of ethical sourcing and rigorous testing is what makes Cliphair extensions reliable, long-lasting and trusted by customers worldwide.

Most people find they can apply clip-in extensions anywhere from 60 seconds, or from 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how many wefts they're using and their level of experience. One-piece extensions are the quickest option, often taking just 2-5 minutes to clip in and blend with your natural hair. Full headsets naturally take a little longer, as each piece needs to be placed securely for an even, natural finish.

With practice, the process becomes much faster. Regular users often prep their extensions by curling or straightening them before clipping in, which saves time during styling. The key steps are parting your hair in horizontal sections, attaching each weft from the bottom up and brushing everything together. Once you’re familiar with the routine, clip-ins become one of the easiest and quickest ways to change your hairstyle without commitment.
