1. For Blunt Cuts - Braided Base Hack

The hardest part of blending clip-ins with short, blunt haircuts is covering the straight ends that poke out underneath. The easiest solution is to grab a small section of hair at the nape of your neck, braid it tightly, and then fasten it flat against the back of your head. Then secure your first weft of extensions right into this braid or directly above. This gives it a solid foundation, hides the short blunt pieces, and provides your extensions with a smooth starting point. We recommend this hack for those whose hair is fairly thick already and can go with sectioning out some hair at the bottom.

2. Clip in Upside Down for Extra Coverage

The next insider tip is to clip-in your first track upside down at the very bottom of your hairline at the nape of your neck instead of braiding. This way you train the shorter pieces at the base of the head (by reversing the weft) so they do not stick out at the sides of your head when you pull your hair forward. It is one of those fast tips that can make a big difference in the way to get a natural polished finish. This is best for those who have thinner hairtypes to keep the use oftheir natural hair in addition to the clip-ins.

3. Add Layers to Your Extensions

When your extensions are too uniform and much longer than your natural locks, they may seem more noticeable in shorter hair. To resolve this, one of the best ways that you can blend your clip-ins to your natural hair seamlessly is to have your stylist trim to add soft layers in your extensions. A small amount of layering can work wonders in blending your clip-ins not knowing where your natural hair ends and your clip-ins begin.

4. Style for the Perfect Blend

Although you can blend our clip-ins with straight hair, curling your hair and extensions is usually the simplest method of integrating the two seamlessly. Waves or curls are used to smooth the edge between your own hair and the extensions, which give a more effortless appearance. When it comes to smooth styles, simply take your time to straighten and fuse together your natural hair with the clip-ins with a flat iron.

These pro tips will allow you to make your short hair look long and volumized within minutes. Cashmere Hair clip-in extensions are made to be blended in with ease, therefore with the right techniques, your dream hair is a few clips away.
