What’s in Your Philocaly Clip-In Set?

Say hello to your new best hair days. Our clip-in extensions come in two length and weight options to choose from:

  • 18” (130 grams)

  • 22” (180 grams)

Each set includes seven wefts so you can build volume exactly where you need it:

  • 1 Quad Weft (7” wide, 4 clips)

  • 2 Triple Wefts (6” wide, 3 clips each)

  • 2 Double Wefts (3” wide, 2 clips each)

  • 2 Single Wefts (1.5” wide, 1 clip each)

Customizable, lightweight, and super blendable—these are made to work with you.

Step 1: Prep Like a Pro


Prepping your hair properly makes all the difference. You want your clips to hold strong and stay hidden, all while blending effortlessly.


Add Some Grip


If your hair is squeaky clean, it might be too silky for the clips to hold. Spritz a little texture spray or dry shampoo at your roots for extra grip.


Clean Sections Only


Use a rat-tail comb to create neat, horizontal partings . Clean sections = better hold and a smoother blend.


Backcomb Where You Clip


At each section, gently tease the root where the clips will go. This gives the clips something secure to grip and helps everything stay in place all day (or night!).

"Clip-in extensions are the perfect blend of beauty and convenience—effortless to apply, seamless to wear, and powerful enough to transform your entire look in minutes."

Clip-In Placement: Your Map to Volume Not sure where to start? Follow this foolproof layout to get the perfect balance of volume and coverage:

1. At the Nape

  • Use 1 Triple Weft (6”)

  • Place about 1” above your hairline

2. Just Above That

  • Use 1 Quad Weft (7”)

  • This one brings the drama—hello, volume!

3. Mid-Upper Back of Head

  • Use 1 Triple Weft (6”)

  • Think of this as your layering piece

4. Sides for Framing

  • Use 2 Double Wefts (3”) , one on each side

  • Position just above your ears, angled slightly forward for a face-framing finish

5. Fill in the Gaps

  • Use the 2 Single Wefts (1.5”) to add volume near your temples or any area that needs a little boost

Tips from the Pros (That We Swear By)

  • Blend is everything : After you clip them in, brush gently (not over the clips!) to blend with your natural hair.

  • Custom cut = game-changer : Take your extensions to your stylist for a quick trim or layering—they’ll blend like a dream.

  • Bobby pin the nape : Got short pieces at the back that stick out? Pin them up before clipping in to keep the look seamless.

  • Heat styling? Always protect : Use a heat protectant before straightening or curling to keep the hair smooth and healthy.

  • Storage matters : When you're done, store your extensions in your Philocaly garment bag to keep them tangle-free and gorgeous.

How to Care for Your Clip-In Extensions


  • The best part about clip-ins? They're super low maintenance. Just follow these easy care tips:

  • Skip daily washing : Only wash when they feel product-heavy or a little dry.

  • Gentle cleanse : Wash in your sink with a hydrating, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner .

  • Air dry overnight : Lay them flat on a towel and let them dry naturally—no need for heat!

  • Mask it up : Every few washes, treat your extensions to a nourishing hair mask to keep them soft and shiny.

  • Always use heat protectant : Just like your own hair, they need protection from hot tools.

  • Tuck them away with love : Store them in your clip-in garment bag when not in use to keep them fresh and fabulous.
