3. Clip In with Ease
1. Preparation
Brush Thoroughly
Detangle your hair by using the Cashmere Hair Extension Brush or a detangling brush and ensuring that there are no knots remaining. This step also helps in easy application of the extensions and allows it to blend in well.
2. Applying the Extensions
Section Your Hair
Begin with a horizontal section to the right of and one inch or slightly above the nape using a tail comb. Tie up the remaining hair neatly so that it will not interfere with the hairstyling process.
Braid the Bottom Section
If your hair is signicantly shorter than the extensions or you have a more blunt haircut, a neat trick is to braid that bottom section of hair and secure it up and out of the way. Thiss give the bottom track something to anchor in to and also eliminates that bottom section of hair that tends to peak out underneath an make it obvious that you are wearing extensions.
Apply the 3 Long Tracks
Start off with the 6" wide track, this is going to hug around the shape of the head. You're going to start from the middle and work your way out clipping these in place. This will allow for a more secured application so that when you do style them and wear them throughout the day, you'll have more security and longevity to the hairstyle.
Repeat this step going into the next 7" track. You're going to go one to two inches above that horizontal part, make another horizontal part. This track is an inch longer and this is just going to hug the shape of the head. The last longer weft is out top weft which is 8" wide. It is going to be applied in the same technique again, an inch to two inches above that horizontal section. Our top weft is our longest one. This is again going to follow the shape of the head here. After these have been clipped in and styled, you can drop the remaining hair we sectioned on top in the back quadrants and style the remaining hair together with the extensions.
Apply the 4 Side Tracks
A great tip to ensure your front tracks will not peek through, is to take a tail comb and if you can see through it, leave a bit more hair in the front to conceal the weft. Go at a slight diagonal angle and place these shorter three-inch wide tracks in.
After that has been placed and styled with your natural hair, you are going to do the same step with your second side piece just above the first one. You can even go a half-inch to an inch higher. Again, style at a side diagonal angle. You don't want to get too close to your natural parting because you don't want these tracks to be exposed. You are then going to drop the remaining hair on that side and you're going to style the hair with the extensions. You'll then repeat these same steps on the other side.
