What are Clip-In’s??
These removable and reusable extensions attach to your hair with pressure clips. They’re easy to attach and remove on your own, blend in with your natural hair, and come in a variety of lengths thickness and colors.
What we really love about clip-ins is they are ready-to-wear. You can easily install them yourself in minutes to add dimension without making a huge commitment.
Want to add bright stripes of color for a one-time look? Or are you looking for soft highlights to blend in with your natural color? Clip-ins are a great, easy alternative to more involved methods like tape-in and hand tied extensions that have to be installed by a certified stylist.

Truth About Hair Extensions
Hair extensions have become increasingly popular over the years, especially as beauty lovers everywhere have taken to social media to share their inspo. Extensions are a huge part of the hair styling world, but they’re also a frequently misunderstood accessory.
Hair Extensions Add Extra Weight
There’s no getting around it. Especially when getting professional methods applied for the first time, the added weight can feel a bit weird on the head at first…
Most people adjust to this rather quickly, but the sensation may feel similar to when you’ve had your hair pulled into a tight updo or ponytail all day. This can often lead to some short, temporary discomfort, especially for first-timers.

The Truth About Removal of Extensions
When you first get your hair extensions out, it may suddenly feel like your own hair is so thin ,you might even wonder, ‘is my hair thinner now than before I wore extensions?
This is a perfectly normal thought, and don’t worry! You just got used to having more volume. In addition, we’ve seen a lot of ladies freaking out when their hair seems to be shedding like crazy after their extensions are removed. Don’t panic. This is totally normal we lose 80 to 100 hairs a day and when extensions are in it doesn’t shed until they are removed!
Here’s the thing: your hair sheds naturally every day. While wearing extensions, the hair that would have naturally fallen out stays with the bunch (whether sealed between the tape-in wefts, secured in the bead, or fused in with the kera-link bond or hand tied ). Finally, when it comes time to remove them, those little strands get loose from the bonds.
It may take a few days for them to fully come out, so don’t be alarmed when you pull loose hair after getting your extensions removed.
When you think of hair extensions you might picture thick, luscious locks that hang past your booty .Those insta-worthy hairstyles on social media are trending, But while we love hair extensions for length, they can transform all types of styles, including fine limp hair, short hair or even in the fringe area for thickness or length.

How to add some serious length to short hair
For those with short hair and want to tack on some noticeable inches, keep reading. Before adding fullness and length, be sure you have enough natural hair to achieve a believable look.
In order to add drastic length with hair extensions, we recommend that the hair is past the occipital bone.

If there is not enough length to the natural hair, there is no room to texture or blend the extensions.
