    This Guide Will Show You Exactly How To Use Clip-In Hair Extensions

    For hair that's unbe-weave-able.

    You can print the instructions here.

    What You'll Need:

    - Clip-in Hair Extensions*

    - Tail comb

    - Mini hair elastics

    - Jawbone hair clips

    Step 1: Lay out your extensions, or "wefts," on a flat surface, grouping together like sizes.

    Step 2: Part your hair wherever you would normally.

    Step 3: Section off hair perpendicularly from your part down to your ear.

    Step 4: Use a hair clip to hold the section in place.

    Step 5: Repeat steps 2–3 on the opposite side of your head.

    Step 6: At the back of your head, section off the bottom inch of hair and clip up the rest of your hair.

    Step 7: Select the weft of hair that will best fit the section. You will continue to do this for each section.

    Step 8: Use small hair elastics to create sections of hair the same distance apart as the extension clips.

    Step 9: Open up the clips on the first weft.

    Step 10: Secure the weft clip on top of the elastic and snap closed.

    Step 11: Once all clips are snapped closed, smooth out the hair with your fingers or a brush.

    Step 12: About half an inch up from the first weft, create the next section of hair.

    Step 13: Use small hair elastics to create sections of hair the same distance apart as the clips on the weft.

    Step 14: Secure each weft clip on top of the corresponding elastic and snap closed.

    Step 15: Once each clip is closed, smooth out hair with fingers or a brush.

    Step 16: Create the next section half an inch above the last and put in the small elastics.

    Step 17: Snap each extension clip closed on each elastic and smooth out your hair with fingers or a brush.

    Step 18: Create the next section half an inch above the last and put in the small elastics.

    Step 19: Snap each clip closed on the elastics and smooth hair with fingers or a brush.

    Step 20: If you parted your hair on the side, create the next section toward the side with the most hair — not directly in the middle of your head.

    Step 21: Snap each extension clip closed on the elastics and smooth hair with fingers or a brush.

    Step 22: Create the next section of hair on the side of the head with more hair, about half an inch above the weft.

    Step 23 : Use one hair elastic and an extension weft with a single clip.

    Step 24: Snap the clip closed and smooth the hair with fingers or a brush.

    Step 25: On the side of your part with less hair, use one hair elastic for an extension weft with one clip.

    Step 26: Snap the clip closed and smooth hair with fingers or a brush. Take down the rest of your hair and style as desired.

    Gorgeous!

    How To Wash Clip-In Hair Extensions

    *Note: Only use shampoo and conditioner on extensions made of real human hair.

    • Remove hair extensions from your head.

    • Use a wide-tooth comb to remove all knots and tangles from extensions.

    • With lukewarm water, gradually wet hair, combing as you moisten the hair to keep it from becoming tangled.

    • Using a sulfate-free shampoo, wash the extensions from the top down.

    • Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, moving from the top down.

    • Apply a lightweight conditioner, using more toward the ends of the hair and less toward the top.

    • Wrap hair in a towel and gently press out the excess water.

    • Comb through the extensions with a wide-tooth comb. Air dry.
