Clip-In Hair Extensions Can Add A New Dimension to Your Hairdo!

April 6, 2011

woman with long colored hair extensionsAs you know, hair extensions are very popular! They are the perfect way to add length as well as volume to your hair. They are easy to install and it only takes a few minutes to add the clip-in hair extensions to your hair.  All you have to do is simply clip them to your hair near the scalp and voila, added length and volume! The clips that are on the hair extensions are pressure sensitive insuring that they stay secure until you are ready to remove them. And if you get bored and want to remove them, you just un-clip them. It’s that easy!

You can get your hair extensions in 100% human hair or you can purchase the synthetic extensions that are made from modacrylic fiber. Although human hair extensions are much more expensive, you will find that the extensions last about 3 times longer because of the styling versatility of human hair. Simply put; human hair extensions can handle being put under the pressure of your hot styling tools; not to mention the fact that you can easily add color to the hair as well, giving you more styling options than the man-made synthetic blend.

Although you do have the advantage of coloring clip-in extensions made from human hair, synthetic hair does have its advantages too! Although it can’t be colored, synthetic clip-in hair extensions are available in every color that you can imagine! What this does is allow you to have access to a variety of colors without having to do the color blending work yourself! That’s enough to invest in the synthetic blend alone! The extreme color choices of synthetic hair extensions also make it almost a guarantee that even if your natural hair is colored, there will be a color to match your real hair. Now that’s an easy way to add a new look to your do!

However, having unlimited color options is not the only advantage of purchasing clip-in hair extensions made of synthetic hair. Did you also know that hairstyles are set with this type of hair? It’s true! Synthetic hair will hold the style as lot longer than human hair extension simply because the style is set in when the hair is made. However, the main disadvantage of using synthetic clip-in extensions is that they cannot be color treated, can tangle easily and they don’t hold up to your hot styling tools the way the human hair will.

Added Volume without the Damage!

With the clip-in hair extensions, you don’t have to worry about damaging your natural tresses! Clip-in extensions provide added protection to your hair unlike glue-in or tape-in extensions which can cause breakage because of the sticky substance used on the hair.

As far as cleaning either synthetic or human hair extensions, although not mandatory, it’s best to use a shampoo specific to extension hair. The DeMert wig shampoo is a good option simply because it works well on both synthetic and human hair extensions. It does not tangle or strip the color from the hair when washed, but best of all it cleans and conditions the hair at the same time. So you don’t have to worry about too much slippage with a stand-alone conditioner.

There are several products available on the market that can help you maintain the look of your extensions. You can find special hair extension shampoos, conditioners, serums and a leave-in protectants that will leave your hair looking shiny and natural.

Clip-in hair extensions are a great way to have the volumous hair that you’ve always dreamed of without the time commitment and big money investment. You will be able to add whatever length or color with a simple “click” of your clip-in hair extension! You can easily purchase ones with highlights or low-lights. You have complete style freedom when working with clip-in hair extensions. There is no better way to enhance your hairs look!
