What Are Clip-In Hair Extensions? 

Before diving right in, let’s start with the basics – what exactly are clip-in hair extensions? As the name suggests, they’re hair extensions that you can easily clip-in and remove. You can do them all on your own, even if you haven’t worn hair extensions before, and there’s absolutely no tools or tapes required. 

When it comes to choosing hair extensions, you can find hundreds of brands, styles, weights and lengths. While choosing your clip-in hair extensions, there are a couple of things to consider: 

• The hair colour and texture of your hair extensions
• The length of your hair extensions 
• The thickness of your hair extensions

The Secret To Choosing The Right Shade

When selecting your hair extensions, choosing the right shade is vital – after all, nobody wants mismatching hair extensions! An excellent way to make sure that your hair extension shade matches your hair’s colour is to hold your hair extension against the tip or bottom part of your hair under natural light. Remember to always use the shade of the lower part of your hair as reference.

At Eden Hair Extensions, we’re all about helping you find the perfect shade. Feel free to email us a picture of your hair in natural light, and we’ll get back to you with our suggested shade. Otherwise, order a colour sample from us to discover your perfect colour.

Hair Extension Ready

Before putting on your hair extensions: 
Make sure that your hair is cleaned, dry and brushed. You’ll also want to go ahead and sort out your weft set into similar-sized wefts. Grouping your wefts together will help you with staying organized.

After clipping in your hair extensions: 
Go ahead and use a wide-tooth comb to brush out your hair and blend everything together gently. Ensure that you’re not brushing too hard as it could dislodge the extensions you’ve put in place. 

Taking Care Of Your Hair Extensions Goes A Long Way

Washing your hair extensions:
Use products that are high-quality, organic, alcohol-free and sulfate-free. Not only will it keep your hair extensions healthy, but it’ll also keep them nice and nourished. If you plan on styling your hair, make sure to also spritz on some protectant spray.

Sleeping with hair extensions:
If you’ve got clip-ins, try to remove them before sleeping, or you risk damaging them. 

Swimming with hair extensions:
Try not to swim with hair extensions as chemicals and dirt within the pool could damage them. Soaking them in the water for an extended period can also cause shedding. If you’ve absolutely got to go swimming with your hair extensions, wear a swim cap to protect your luscious locks.

One of the great things about clip-in hair extensions is being able to style them.
