Why Measuring Matters 

Each head shape is unique and knowing yours will help you know exactly where to place each weft in it's optimal position. Your clip-ins are safer, more comfortable and look the most natural natural when they are placed in the proper spots, and this is dependant on your own measurements. This comes in particularly handy with fine hair or thick hair and in places where it is necessary to have some strategic placement of the clip.

Step 1: Measure the Width of Your Head 

Begin with a soft measuring tape and measure the distance between both of your ears mear the top of your head. This will help you know the widest weft you ought to have and where the best placement for it will be. Majority of clip-in sets such as Cashmere Hair's Classic and Seamless collections are made to fit the universal widths, however, the awareness of your measures will help you place the weft optimally along your natural line.

Step 2: Measure Occipital Bone Area

To find the occipital bone you'll need to tilt your head forward a little and then feel the bump, this is your occipital bone, aka the most stable area to clip in your medium width weft (the 2nd widest weft). Measure horizontally through this section. This helps you in determining the position of your base wefts, how low or high you need to place it to achieve maximum comfort and hold.

Step 3: Measure Your Lower Hairline 

Next you'll be measuring the placement area for the shorter or smaller wefts. For this, you'll want to measure the section in the center of your ears, just above the nape of your neck. This will make sure your smaller pieces fit comfortably without poking, pulling, or even sitting too close to your ears.

Step 4: Plan Your Placement 

Lay out all of your measurements to understand the proper position of each weft. This will ensure that there is no overcrowding and will aid in the natural blending of your extensions with your natural hair. You should always ensure that you leave at least an inch of hair between each weft in order to lay flat and keep enough hair to cover each layer to remain undetected.

Final Tips for a Perfect Fit 

-Wefts should not be put too close to the hairline.

-Angle your side piece wefts slightly downward towards your face for a lifted, seamless blend.

-With hair that is fine or slippery, tease the areas a little and then clip in.


When properly measured and correctly installed, your Cashmere Hair clip-in extensions will look and feel better than ever!
