How to Style Short Clip in Hair Extensions

Clip in Hair Extension clip in hair extensions are a popular way to give your pixie, bob, or other short haircut a quick length boost and volume injection. Available in a range of shades and lengths, they can be worn as often as you like—though sleep and swimming aren’t recommended (see below for more on this). They’re also less expensive than other forms of permanent or semi-permanent hair extension options.

The type of hair extensions you select depends on your desired look and length, but it’s also important to consider how you plan to style them. “If you’re planning to use them in an updo or ponytail, it’s less crucial that they match perfectly, but they should still be close to your natural shade,” says celebrity hairstylist Nekea Thomas. “If you’re going to wear them with your hair down, it’s best to stay within a few inches of your natural length.”

If your haircut is very short or textured, it may take more strategic placement to ensure the wefts don’t become visible. Try to place them in areas where you have more hair to cover, such as around the crown or back of your head. You can also try dry shampooing your roots and teasing or back-combing them to add more lift before placing the wefts.
