Stylist Secrets: Combining Hair Extensions

Best for: Average Hair Thickness

It is possible to have thick hair but a thin/fine hairline, so both a Hair weft and Nano Ring Hair Extensions would be suitable. In this scenario, it wouldn’t be practical to have a full head of Nano Rings installed as this would take a very long time on thick hair and actually, it isn’t necessary as you only need them around the front. Hair Wefts are ideal for thick hair as the natural hair is strong enough to hold it and will blend naturally, as well as taking a fraction of the time to apply. Apply a Hair Weft at the back of the hair to give you all the length and volume that you need and use Nano Ring Extensions at the sides and top where the hair is less dense. Wefts are also notoriously difficult to put up so keeping them to the back section will help with this.

Best For: Average – Thick Hair

Even if the hair is thick all over the head, including the sides and front, it will still be tricky to hide a hair weft when the hair is up. The solution to this is to replace the side weave with I-Tips or Stick Tips around the hairline. This way the hair will be able to be pulled back into an up-style without bulky seams from the weft hair extension poking through. Another benefit to this combination is that the same rings to apply the I-Tips can be used to attach the weft to the hair. To apply a Hair Weft to the hair using micro-rings extensions it will need to be applied as a LA Weave or as a Micro-Ring Weft.

Best For: Thin & Fine Hair 

This is the ultimate combination of hair extensions for thin hair. Apply the Tape-In hair extensions at the back of the head from the crown area down towards the nape, this will blend out the natural length line of the hair. Use Nano Ring Hair Extensions around the front and top of where the hair is at its finest to ensure the extensions remain undetectable. Not only are both of these methods the safest for thin & fine hair due to their lightweight feel and gentle application, they are also the most invisible hair extensions.

Best For: Quick Transformations & Zero Commitment

Transform your entire look in under 20 minutes with clip-in hair extensions! After you have applied the Seamless full head, add clip-in bangs in the same color to add another dimension to your style. Bangs can be worn in many different ways including parted bangs, side swept, blunt and full. A great way to hide any noticeable clips on Clip-In Bangs is to add a hairband or bandana.

Best For: Creating highlights without damaging hair with dye

Who says you have to perfectly match your extensions to your hair? We like to bend the rules at Cliphair and use Hair Extensions to add color not just match! Dying and bleaching natural hair can be damaging, expensive and a lot of upkeep. Using hair extensions to add highlights or streaks gives you the same result without any of the commitment giving you the freedom to add and remove color as you please. Read on to find out which colors compliment each other best…

Pastel colors like pinks and lilacs, work beautifully with blonde hair to give some playful highlights. Add pink clip-ins underneath your hair and curl it for peek-a-boo streaks that are perfect for festival season! See our range of Pink hair extensions here

Brown hair works best with warm, caramel shades. By adding toffee brown or blonde pieces to brunette hair you create the illusion of a Balayage without adding a touch of bleach. Check out our full balayage collection here.

Stick to gingery, warm tones when adding highlights to red hair. Ash tones tend to clash with the red undertone so we advise sticking to honey and strawberry blondes to enhance the vibrancy. The model below uses our shade Cinnamon Swirl.
