Curly Clip In Hair Extensions

For women with natural curls, finding the perfect match in hair extensions can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. That’s where curly clip-in hair extensions truly shine. Designed to enhance your natural texture, these extensions are ideal for adding volume, length, and definition without compromising your curl pattern. Curly clip ins are applied like the majority of clip in extensions; however, they have a slightly different care regime.

Remember to clip in the extensions close to the roots and continue layering wefts as you move up your head. To finish, make sure you blend the hair by twisting small sections of your natural curls together with the extensions, or use your hands to fluff and shape the final look.

Clip In Ponytail Hair Extensions

Transforming a simple ponytail into a statement hairstyle may seem like a headache, but it’s been made effortless for women everywhere with our clip-in ponytail hair extensions. Clip in ponytail extensions add length and volume in a matter of minutes, allowing you to achieve a sleek, high ponytail, or even a voluminous low bun. Ideal for women with short or thin hair, they provide the fullness often lacking in natural ponytails or a fuller, thicker braid. Simply tie your hair in a ponytail with a hair tie, use the wrap-around piece of the extension to wrap around your existing pony and secure with the Velcro strap. A clip-in ponytail offers versatility and the added confidence your hair deserves!
