Tips For Volumizing Thin, Flat Hair
The Secret to Going from Fine & Flat to Full & Fierce: Cashmere Hair
Elevate Your Hair Game: Adding Volume to Fine, Flat Hair with Cashmere Hair Clip-In Extensions
If you are among the fortunate people with naturally thick hair, then you may not have an idea of the trouble that comes with managing flat hair. But for those of us who have fine and thin hair, the quest for the best volume remains a lifelong mission. Fortunately, Cashmere Hair clip-in extensions are a much more reasonably priced and a much less painful solution than many people may think and does not require the need for several hours spent in a salon or large amounts of money spent on permanent solutions. Here's how you can transform your hair from lackluster to luscious using Cashmere Hair clip-in extensions:
Choose the Right Shade
If you are having trouble finding your perfect match, you can visit the color match tab on the Cashmere Hair website to be connected with a color matching expert, who will help guide you in the right direction. You can also purchase a few individual swatches or a full color ring in your similar shade range, for you to get a better look at the shades in person before you committ to purchasing.
Select Your Ideal Length
It can be difficult to decide what length is right for you, which is why we created these general guideines to show you how each length looks from the front and back.
Now, keep in mind that everyone's body is different in size and shape, and it may fall slightly different on you.
- If your hair is at your shoulders or just above your shoulders, for the most natural look choose our 16 inch length.
- If your hair is 1-4 inches below your shoulders you can usually choose any length that is closest to your own hair length for the most natural look. If you want to add length, choose either the 18" or 20".
- If your hair is longer, we have 22" and 24" that can be custom ordered through our website.
- If you would like a shorter length, since 16" is the shortest length available, we encourage you to get the custom cut to desired length by a professional with experience cutting extensions.

Prep Your Hair
Apply the Extensions
Start off with the six-inch wide track, this is going to hug around the shape of the head with the section we're going to tease the hair, and then we're going to secure these in place. 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.
We're going to repeat this step going into the next track. You're going to go one to two inches above that horizontal part, do another horizontal part. With the seven-inch wide track, we're going to place this in. It's an inch longer and this is just going to hug the shape of the head. You're going to continue this and blend and style your natural hair into that extension hair. The weft that we just applied is our middle weft.
Now we're going to go to apply the top weft. 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.
Now that we're done with the back, we're going to transition to the front. Here, we're going to start off with the right side. We're going to backcomb and tease about one to two inches above the ear. 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. Here, we're going to 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.
