The Beginner’s Guide To Clip In Hair Extensions

So you’re thinking of taking the plunge when it comes to extensions? But, maybe you don’t want to fully commit to them yet and go for a long-term method like a weave or beaded hair extensions. Or, perhaps you want the flexibility to change up your hairstyle as often as your makeup, going for a natural look for the day or just for a special occasion. As so many celebrities and celebrity hairstylists often do in either of those situations clip-in hair extensions are RIGHT for you and your natural hair! They offer you the fastest, most convenient hair transformation out there, giving you instant length, instant volume, and density in just seconds. 

But what type of temporary hair extensions should you get? Do you maybe need a combo of clip-ins? Or just a full clip in extension set? There are several different types that might work for your hair type and we're here to give you the low down.

Firstly, Ethics Are Everything

When it comes to hair extensions of any kind, the old moniker that “you get what you pay for” applies. While you can find cheap clip-ins made of synthetic hair, they don’t last long. Because they are biochemically made and aren’t real hair, they cannot be styled using heat styling tools and also tend to break down fairly quickly. While you can find clip-ins made with real hair, sometimes animal hair or synthetic extensions is mixed in by the manufacturer to bring down the cost, but the end result is hair that is coarser and frizzier than real human hair. Lastly, even if you DO find 100% Remy human hair clip-ins cheap, you don’t know the human cost it took to get it. The black market globally when it comes to hair extensions is a terrible thing, so you should ALWAYS question where the hair in any wigs or extensions is sourced from. Was it done ethically? Legally? Was it even done with consent? 100% of Perfect Locks hair is ethically sourced, sustainably, and fairly direct from east Indian temples and we never, ever compromise. 

So What Are Clip-In Hair Extensions?

Clip-in hair extensions are wefts of hair that are easily attached to your natural hair by the use of clips, just like the name itself. They are perfect for those who don't want to wait for their hair to grow, and instantly add length and volume to their hair without any commitment. Clip-in hair extensions are one the most popular extensions out there because of how commitment-free they are, and how easy it is to install and remove that you can even do them yourselves. 

One other thing that's great about them is how seamless they blend with your natural hair while adding length and volume. Clip-ins are known to be the least permanent, but also considered as one of the safest extensions as it doesn't cause too much pressure on the hair, and doesn't use any adhesive or glue like other methods.

Made using the latest hair injection technology, our seamless clip-ins are a full set of hair that has an ultra-fine, ultra-comfortable skin weft that lays flat and blend seamlessly into your natural hair discreetly without damage or itching. They are virtually invisible even up close because they lay flat against your scalp than more traditional lace clip-ins.

Ideal for everyday use, or if you have thin hair or textured hair.

Sometimes time is precious and you want the ultimate in fast hair changes, where we are talking seconds, not minutes applying a full set of clip-ins. In this case, our halo-like Perfect Crown Hair Extensions merely slip on discreetly under your hairline via a nearly invisible wire and sit flush with your scalp. Moreover, we are one of the first companies in the world to offer a halo-like slip-on-and-go hair experience in multiple natural textures, including straight, wavy, curly, and textured options. It delivers instant volume and density to the sides and back of the head.

Ideal for: anyone on an everyday basis where you demand the fastest application technique for your busy lifestyle!

A variety of factors can rob you of density at the crown (top of your head), ranging from genetic hair loss, stress, medications or even chemotherapy. Once you start losing hair at the crown, the most effective solution is a full restoration of thickness up there with a Clip-In Closure. Unlike sew-ins, you can have the flexibility to remove it when you’d like without commitment while also having maximum comfort.

Ideal for: lack of density or thinning hair at the crown of the head.

One of the biggest trends these past few years is the return of eyelash kissing bangs, that perfectly frame the face. Clip-In bangs are available in several natural shades can be custom cut and colored to perfectly match your hair and feature durable clips to ensure they stay put on the go!

Ideal for: creating a statement style, framing your face, or minimizing a high forehead.
