How to choose extensions
Get started by choosing clip-in hair extensions that resemble the lighter shade you want for your ombre end. This shade needs to be just a few shades lighter than your natural hair color to best match your hair and achieve a natural-looking result.
Section Your Hair
Divide your hair into smaller workable sections. Start by dividing your hair horizontally, about an inch or two higher up at the nape of your neck. Hair clips and hair ties can be used to hold the upper part of your hair away from your face.
Prepare the Extensions
Comb or detangle your clip-in extensions and make sure they are tangle-free. This is a very important step to ensure a smooth and natural transition.
Clip-in placement
Work from the bottom section of your natural hair to the top, adding wefts as you go. Pick a small section of your natural hair, and gently backcomb to tease it near the roots and create a bit of texture. This will help to avoid slipping and offer something for the clips to grasp tightly to.
Blend your hair with the extensions
Lastly, once the extensions are secured in place, release the rest of your hair from the clip you sectioned off. By following this layering technique the lighter extensions and your natural color will blend smoothly, creating a gradual ombre effect. Repeat the process moving up to the top of your head with the rest of the included wide tracks in your set of Cashmere Hair clip-in extensions.
Finishing touches
When you are done with clipping all the extensions, take a minute to adjust their lines with the position of your natural hair, so that visible lines between your hair and extensions are blended. Softly comb through and style your hair so that it appears natural and seamlessly blended.
