How to Clip In Extensions
Make sure your hair is completely straight in order for the hair extensions to blend seamlessly with your real hair. Then, section the hair into 1-inch partings, placing each extension clip at the root of the hair. Repeat until the full head of hair is complete. You can use a two-inch barrel curler to create voluminous curls, imparting beautiful body. As the final step, use a medium hold hairspray to keep the style in tact.
