Clip-in hair extensions are the most convenient method for adding length and volume to your hair, thanks to their simple installation. To achieve a seamless look with clip-ins, it’s essential to choose the right hairstyle. Here are some inspiring hairstyles for a more natural appearance with clip-in extensions.
Half Up Half Down
The half-up, half-down hairstyle is both fun and flattering for everyone.
- Clip most of the wefts to the lower half of your hair.
- Clip a few smaller wefts upside down to the half-pony part.
- Pull a section of your hair up into a ponytail for a seamless look.
- Secure the half ponytail with a hair tie and fluff for volume.
Low Ponytail
A low ponytail is elegant and easy to achieve.
- Attach your clip-in extensions and brush your hair carefully.
- Gather your hair to one side and secure it with an elastic band.
- Wrap a section of hair around the base of the ponytail and secure it with a bobby pin.
- If using an additional extension, clip it into the base before wrapping your natural hair around it.
High Buns
High buns are versatile and suitable for any occasion.
- Separate your hair into sections for clip-ins.
- Clip the first extension high where you want the bun to be.
- Ensure all pieces are clipped securely to avoid visible wefts and clips.
- Brush your hair back into a high ponytail.
- Twist the ponytail into a messy bun and pin it with bobby pins.
Space Buns
Space buns are a playful choice for events like festivals, parties, and concerts.
- Clip most of your hair to the lower half and divide the top half into two sections.
- Spin each section into a bun, securing with bobby pins.
- Pull out stray hairs and leave some bangs to frame your face for a finished look.
Side Bun Hairstyles for Clip-in Extensions
To create a side bun, start with a low ponytail. Wrap the ponytail around itself until it forms a bun. For an edgier look, try using a low or side ponytail. For a fuller appearance, use curly or wavy hair.
Braided Headband
Achieving a braided headband with natural hair can cause creases. Instead, braid your hair before adding clip-in extensions. After finishing the braid, tuck the clip into the root of a section of hair slightly behind the ear. Secure the other side with a bobby pin for a seamless, natural look.
Fishtail Braids
The fishtail braid is a simple yet elegant style. The French fishtail, starting from the crown, is a popular variant. Once mastered, this braid is suitable for both festivals and formal occasions.
Beach Waves
Create beach waves with clip-in extensions for a relaxed, summer look. This style is perfect for both casual and formal events.
- Separate the hair into sections using a wide-tooth comb or fingers.
- Use a curling iron or wand to create loose waves.
- Wrap small sections around the barrel, hold for a few seconds, and release.
- Apply sea salt spray or hairspray and scrunch the hair to enhance texture.
High Ponytail
A high ponytail is a classic, easy style that looks even better with clip-in extensions.
- Brush the hair thoroughly to remove tangles.
- Gather the hair at the top of the head, leaving out face-framing layers or bangs.
- Secure the hair with a hair tie, ensuring the ponytail is tight and in place.
Braided Crown
Incorporate clip-in extensions into a braided crown for a romantic, feminine look.
- Brush the hair to remove tangles.
- Part the hair down the middle and separate into two sections.
- Starting at the front, braid one section using a Dutch braid technique, crossing strands under rather than over.
- Gradually add more hair as you braid around the head in a circular motion.
- Secure the end of the braid with a hair tie.
- Repeat on the other side, crossing the braids at the back for a seamless look.
Once you have braided all the way around the head, secure the end of the braid with a hair tie or elastic band. Repeat the same braiding process on the other side of the head, making sure to cross the braids over each other at the back of the head to create a seamless look. Remember to use hair extensions made from 100% Vietnam hair of Luxshine for the best results.
