FAQS - Hair Extensions Questions
What is the difference between Seamless and Classic Clip In Hair Extensions?
Both the Classic and Seamless clip-in extensions are sold in a full set of 7 wefts. There are 3 main differences between the Seamless and the Classic Extensions. The most noticeable difference is how the hair is held together at the top of the track.
Seamless clip-in extensions are made with a thin silicone-based weft that lays flat against your head. The Classic extensions use a method where the hair is folded over and sewn securely into a track. The second difference is the weight of the hair. Seamless extensions have slightly less hair per pack (and therefore per individual track) than the Classic clip-in extensions. This makes it easier to conceal the Seamless clip-ins for those with fine or thin hair.
The third main difference is the type of hair used. Seamless extensions are made with European Remy human hair, which tends to be silkier, finer, and smoother in texture. The Classic clip-in extensions are made with Indian Remy hair which has a naturally wavy texture to it, which gives it more volume, allows for better curl and styling hold, and has a denser texture to it, making it the perfect hair to use for the majority of hair types.
How long does my hair need to be to wear clip in hair extensions?
Clip-Ins
Your hair should be around shoulder length, which is at least 6-7 inches long for best results, and easier blending. We recommend this length so that your hair is long enough for the clips to secure onto your hair securely, and to ensure that you can enough hair to cover and conceal the clips. It is possible to conceal the extensions with shorter hair but will be more difficult for a beginner.
Volumizer One Piece Hair Extensions (AKA better than halo hair extensions)
We recommend that your hair is bust-length (medium to long length) to wear the Volumizer. We do not recommend Volumizer hair extensions for those with short hair as you will need more wefts and hair to create a seamless blend. (If you purchase a set of Classic or Seamless clip-in extensions, you can add in additional tracks from those sets to wear with your halo-style Volumizer to help to create a more seamless blend.
Ponytail Extension
Your hair should be long enough to tie into a bun or ponytail. It can be worn in a low, medium, or high ponytail. If you are not able to get it into a high ponytail, wear your hair in a low ponytail or bun. When creating a bun or ponytail you need to make sure that the hair tie is super tight, and that it is secure so that the Cashmere hair Ponytail Extension can attach to it securely. If your hair is very fine, using a stronger, and thicker hair tie can make a big difference in helping to secure your ponytail. Weak elastic, and loose hair ties will not work and your ponytail will fall off or fall flat.

What length should I choose?
Cashmere Hair extensions appear different in length for every person, because of different torso lengths, neck lengths, and head sizes. If you have a long torso or are tall, hair extensions may appear shorter on you. For petite bodies or short torsos, Cashmere Hair will appear longer on you.
To determine how long your extensions will be on you, use a measuring tape, and measure from 12, 16, 20, or 24 inches down from the top of your ear. This will give you an idea of how long our lengths will look on you. You also want to be sure that you are purchasing clip-in hair extensions that are 2-4 inches longer than your own hair length for best results.
Our hair extensions come with a tester piece that can be used to determine if the length is a good match for you when you receive your order in the mail. If it isn’t an ideal match, we are more than happy to accommodate a return or exchange within 60 days.
Will clip in hair extensions damage my hair?
No damage will occur, unlike traditional salon extensions. We advise against teasing your hair before applying clip-in hair extensions. Our extensions can be applied to your hair without any teasing. It may not be ideal, but let's face it, it's ALWAYS better for your own hair if the extensions are pulled on, so that they "slide" out of position, instead of putting any tension or ripping out your own hair.
During daily wear, if a track slightly slides out of position while wearing it, reach into your hair, unclip it, and readjust the clip back into position. This is completely normal and is actually one of the benefits that make clip-in hair extensions the safest and healthiest option.
In addition, clip-in hair extensions should never be worn when sleeping, or bathing. Always remove hair extensions if they start to feel too heavy, irritating, or uncomfortable. Clip-in hair extensions are not meant to be worn 24 hours a day. Clip-in Hair Extensions can be reapplied and styled daily without causing any damage. Proper wear is important to the health of your hair.
Wearing them clipped in too tightly can put pressure on your scalp. To fix this, unfasten the clip and lower the location where you are clipping them and try grasping more hair in the clip. The clip should only be attached to your hair and not pulling on your scalp. If you are experiencing any hair loss, damage, pain, or discomfort to your own hair or scalp, discontinue use and consult a physician.
If my hair is very thin, will people be able to tell I'm wearing extensions?
Cashmere Hair Extensions are easy to conceal, even with thin, fine, and short hair. Seamless hair extensions are 50% thinner and lay flat against your hair making them even easier to conceal. You will just need enough hair to lie over the top weft to cover it but don't worry, our clip-in system is different because it's designed to be worn lower on your head than other extension brands, making it easy to disguise and blend with your own hair.
For the majority of our customers, no teasing is required to cover the tracks, and we actually advise against it in most cases. We use small clips that have a silicone strip to help them grip onto a small amount of hair to stay secure, making them perfect for our fine-haired customers. Cashmere Hair clip-in hair extensions will not be visible if worn correctly.
The beauty of Cashmere Hair Clip-in extensions is that they make achieving the look of gorgeous hair natural and easy whether you have thin hair, fine hair, damaged hair, or short hair. You will get compliments on how great your hair looks and no one will know you are wearing hair extensions.

What part of my hair should the extensions match with?
The best color to choose for your hair will be the one that matches the ends of your hair. This means that the color that is best for your hair will be the color of your hair from your chin down to the ends of your hair. We recommend purchasing 2 sets if your hair has multiple shades or more than 3 shades. Your hair can be darker underneath or in the back, and this is very common. In order to wear your clip-in hair extension with a flawless blend, you may need 2 shades to match with color changes in your hair. Never choose the hair color of your "roots" as that tends to be a different shade. Unless you are intentionally growing out your color.
Will Cashmere Hair Extensions stay in my hair, without slipping out?
Our extensions will not slide out on their own, even with fine hair. Cashmere Hair uses the best quality clips to ensure they stay securely fastened for maximum comfort & safety. Clips play an important role in the comfort, durability, and safety of clip-in hair extensions. It's important to understand these clips are designed to gently slide out only if major pressure or a very strong pull on the extensions occurs, to help prevent damage to your own hair and scalp.
TIP: If you would like added support on occasion, you can gently tease the hair just at the base where you plan to attach the clip. For even more hold, lightly spray the teased section with hairspray and let it dry, before attaching the clip. But we don't recommend this method for daily wear.
I Have Curly Hair, Which Extensions should I use?
Who said curly girls can’t wear extensions? All you need to do is curl them to mimic your hair's natural texture. Because our hair extensions are made from 100% Indian Remy hair, it has a natural wave texture to the hair.
We choose this Indian Remy hair for hair extensions because of its natural texture and its ability to hold curls really well. If you have curly hair, this is a great option for you because maybe you just have a light wave similar to the hair extensions' natural texture, or it can be easily styled to match your natural curl without fear of not blending in.
Similar to naturally styling curly hair, you can scrunch the extensions and diffuse the ends of the hair to give it even more of a curly texture. Once you have applied some hair gel to the hair extensions and scrunched them, you can either let the hair air dry overnight or diffuse them. You’ll want to kind of cup the hair so that it scrunches up inside of the bowl of the diffuser and let the hair dry holding it in place, try not to move the dryer around so much which can create frizz. Once the hair is fully dry, you can scrunch any crunch left from the hair gel and clip them in.
If your hair is curlier than the hair extensions’ natural texture, all you’ll need are a few curling irons that match the texture of your hair. You can even alternate between sizes because a lot of times your curly hair naturally has different textures. Maybe it's different on the top than it is underneath. Read more here
