Perfect Placement Tips for Clip-In Hair Extensions

Philocaly Clip-in hair extensions are a game-changer for anyone looking to add volume, length, or color to their hair without the commitment of permanent extensions. At Philocaly Hair, we believe that the right placement of clip-in extensions can transform your look effortlessly. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you master the art of clip-in extension placement.

Step 1: Prepare Your Hair

Before you start, ensure your hair is clean, dry, and tangle-free. Brush through your hair to remove any knots and create a smooth base for your extensions.

Step 2: Section Your Hair

The key to natural-looking clip-in extensions is sectioning your hair correctly. Use a tail comb to divide your hair into horizontal sections. Start from the bottom and work your way up.

Tips for Sectioning:

Nape of the Neck

Start by sectioning your hair about an inch above the nape of your neck. This will be the base layer for your first weft.

Crown and Above

Create sections above the ears and at the crown of your head for subsequent wefts.

Step 3: Applying the First Weft

Take your first weft and snap open the clips. Place the weft along the sectioned line at the nape of your neck. Snap the clips shut, starting from the center and moving outwards. Ensure the weft is secure and lies flat against your head.

Step 4: Layering the Extensions

Continue creating sections and applying the wefts, moving upwards. Each weft should be placed about an inch above the previous one.

Placement Guide:

• Second Weft - Place this about an inch above the first weft.
• Third Weft - Position this one around the mid-point of your head.
• Side Pieces - For a fuller look, add smaller wefts on the sides, just above your ears.

Step 5: Blending for a Natural Look

After placing all the wefts, it’s essential to blend the extensions with your natural hair. Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush designed for extensions to gently blend your hair. For a seamless finish, you can lightly curl or straighten your hair along with the extensions.

Step 6: Maintenance and Care

To keep your clip-in extensions looking their best, follow these care tips:

Storage

Store your extensions in a dry, cool place. Use a storage bag or box to keep them tangle-free.

Washing

Wash your extensions occasionally using a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Let them air dry to maintain their quality.

Brushing

Always use a brush designed for extensions to avoid pulling or damaging the wefts.

With the right placement and care, clip-in extensions can enhance your natural beauty and give you the confidence to rock any hairstyle.
