Clip-in Hair Extensions - Beautiful Result or Advertising Hype?
What are clip-in hair extensions and how are they
attached?
Clip-in extensions are perfect if you want to turn your hair
into beautiful flowing locks instantly. But, of course, on the
down side, they have to be removed at the end of the day. So
clip-ins are good for a party, a special date or just whenever
you want to look different for a few hours. They are much
cheaper than salon-made permanent hair extensions. Another
advantage is that clip-ins don't damage your own hair in any
way.
Quality hair extensions are several strands of hair, each
attached individually. Usually 3- or 4-inch wide pieces go on
the back of your head in several layers, and a few 1- or 2-inch
wide pieces are put on the sides. As the name suggests, each
strand is attaché to your own hair with a clip. With a little
bit of practice, clipping the extensions in becomes rather easy
and takes only a few minutes. Taking them off is even easier.
You can usually find 14", 16" and 18" clip-in extensions.
Anything longer puts too much tension on your own hair. See

Who can wear clip-in extensions?
Clip-in extensions are suitable for people whose natural hair is
shoulder length or longer. If you have medium length hair,
extensions can make it longer. If you have long but very fine
hair, or your hair is not in its best condition, clip-in hair
extensions are a great way to bring richness and fullness to
your hair.
However, clip-in extensions will not work for women with very
short hair. Extensions only look natural when they are mixed in
with your natural hair, so if your hair is short, people will
notice that you are wearing extensions. If you have a short
haircut, but are dying for long locks, buy a wig that is similar
in color to your natural hair. High quality designers wigs look
very natural - nobody will guess that you are wearing a wig
unless you tell them. If a wig is not for you, then you can go
for salon-made hair extensions that are braided or glued to your
own hair. These stay in for several months, but cost
significantly more than clip-ins.
Do clip-in extensions look natural?
It depends on the quality of extensions you get. First, you
should know that hair extensions can be made from natural human
hair or from synthetic fibers. I will be honest: synthetic hair
extensions are cheap, but you get exactly what you pay for. They
just don't look right. High quality human hair clip-in
extensions, on the other hand, look like they grow from your own
head.
If you look online, you will find many brands of clip-in
extension. It is best to go for a well known maker of
hair-pieces and extensions, such as Diva in a Box, PutOnPieces
or Raquel Welch. See pictures of clip-in hair extensions (will
be a link) from different brands.
Since the extensions are mixed in with your own hair, color
matching is very important. And the good news is that human hair
clip-in extensions can be colored to match your own hair color
exactly. However, I wouldn't recommend doing that at home - it
is better to color your extensions at the salon. You can also
use hot iron on the human hair extensions to curl them a
little.
How much do they cost?
The cost varies greatly, depending on the material. Synthetic
hair extensions will cost you less than $100. For a real human
hair extensions, you might pay from $200 to $400. However, you
can get good discounts through online hair extensions and wigs
shops
Clip-in hair extensions can be real fun. They will help you to
create a different image instantly, which is very important for
a busy modern woman.
