You can instantly glamourize your look to turn heads, or you can go for a more permanent look that will definitely improve your overall appearance.

<p dir="ltr"><strong>What are Clip-In Hair Extensions?</strong></p>

They are more affordable too, making the preferred choice when it comes to buying hair extensions.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>How Do I Choose the Right Color?</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Choosing a color online might be a bit difficult since it might slightly differ from what you have in mind. That&rsquo;s why is might be easier to consult your stylist for help; or alternatively you can take a small strand of your own hair to the company before you buy &ndash; so that they can help you choose the right color from the start. You can always dye your extensions, but it is much better to buy the right color initially. In general, hair extensions can be one shade darker or lighter than your normal hair, since most people&rsquo;s hair differ slightly in color underneath than on top. When you have clipped them in they will still look natural.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>How Do I Use Clip-In Extensions?</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>You secure them with small clips underneath your own hair. Simply part your hair where you need to put the extensions, and carefully separate the hair at the roots. Secure the clips and you are done! The clips won&rsquo;t be visible once you wear them. </span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><strong>Can I Style Them?</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Yes, providing that you have natural human hair extensions. The synthetic version cannot be heat styled or dyed so if you are planning on styling them, go for the natural hair. They are a bit more expensive, but you can style them in exactly the same way that you style your own hair. Just make sure that you look after your extensions with quality shampoo and conditioner products. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>How Long Do They Last?</strong></p>
<p><span id="docs-internal-guid-f7f75e62-36be-f09b-8bae-7bb3611689b5"><span>If you use natural human hair extensions, they can basically last as long as you want them to. If treated properly, it is no uncommon for these extensions to last up to a year at a time. If you don&rsquo;t treat them as well, prepare to replace them every six months or so. Basically, the better you look after them, the longer they last! </span></span></p>]]></description>

When working with clip- in hair extensions, one must remember not to make the extensions she is wearing look too obvious.

<p><span id="docs-internal-guid-139b00fe-36aa-210a-542b-898276c1d1a1">The first step in attaching <a title="Clip-in Hair Extensions" href="https://hairextensionsbymonica.com/clip-in">clip- in hair extensions</a> is dividing the hair upwards. The shortest of the clip- in hair extensions should be placed on the hair just above the nape. When this is done, the next halves of the hair can be clipped with the extensions in the order of shortest to longest. Every clip- in hair extensions attached should be smoothed with the rest of the natural hair so there wouldn&rsquo;t be unsightly bulges and tangles. </span></p>
<p><span id="docs-internal-guid-139b00fe-36aa-3824-1c71-1bd710e834f6"><span>Once all the longer clip- in hair extensions has been attached you can begin working with the remaining shorter ones by attaching it at the sides at the hair beside your face.

You can also opt to attach some bangs with your clip- in hair extensions. This will give you a more mature look that still plays on the sexy range.

<p><span id="docs-internal-guid-87cda6e0-36aa-55c5-03a1-977009d31f98"><span>When you are done attaching all the clip- in hair extensions that you have, the next thing that you have to do is to comb your hair well. This would make you clip- in hair extensions look natural and this will even out the length and bulk of your hair. When you are through, you can now start styling your hair. If you want to gain a sporty look, you can have your hair pony tailed. With clip- hair extensions, you can also test hair dyes and other hair products without having to worry about your hair being damaged. You can also treat it with hair products for a more edgy look.</span></span></p>
