When applying clip ins, apply them before you style your hair. Here are some tips I learned that were extra helpful for placing the clip in extensions and helping them grip your hair tighter.
-Grab a rat tail comb, part your hair where you’re going to place the weft, and then back comb the bottom of the part/track.
-Then apply hairspray to both the bottom and top of the track. This will help the extensions grip your hair.
-Place the clip in just under the track.
-Repeat these steps for every weft you place in your hair.
It may take a few times to get it right, but you just have to play around with your hair a bit to figure out the best placements for the wefts, and how to best clip them in. The first time I used them it took me about 20-30 minutes or so to figure it out, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time before your first wear. Once I figured it out, the next few times I used them, I got them in really quickly.
Once the clips are in, you can then style your hair as usual. Here I straightened mine a bit but also wanted a natural more messy texture, so I left some of the wave in, in some pieces. Also don’t use hot tools on synthetic extensions, they can only be used on human hair extensions. Its a good idea to start at the lowest temperature possible too until you find a good temperature that works with your extensions.
These extensions are super easy to straighten and my iron worked fine with them, I probably could’ve used a higher heat then used here. Just be sure to use tools from mid hair down. You don’t want to use a flat iron at the roots or you could risk ruining your iron or extensions.
Because my hair is already long, I mostly used mine to get a fuller look, but I was pleasantly surprised to see once I straightened my extensions, they actually gave me quite a bit more length too!
Here are my before pictures:
And there here are my after pictures, with my Remi Hair Extensions:
I was so pleasantly surprised with how my extensions were a perfect color match with my hair, as well as how natural they look in my hair. You can’t tell I am wearing extensions here at all. But my hair is noticeable longer and also quite a bit thicker too, especially in the front.
I wore mine around all day, and the are actually really comfortable. I totally forgot they were there except when I felt my hair brush the bottom of my back, because I’ve never had hair long enough to to do that!
They stayed put all day long (even through the night) and I never had one slip or fall out, or get the least bit uncomfortable. When the time came to take them out, I just gently lifted the clip up and they would come right out. I didn’t rip any hair out and it wasn’t painful at all.
These are extensions I could easily wear every day! They are made to last about a year too, as long as you take good care of them, wash them regularly (3 times a week maximum), condition, and use a special extension wide tooth comb on them, and be gentle with them of course.
Overall, I absolutely love my AbHair Remi Extensions and have already been wearing them a ton since I got them! They are so easy to us, and maintain, and they look so natural! I am so pleased with how well they blend into my hair, both texture and color! I love that I can use my blowdryer on them after washing (although you can let them air dry too) and I love that I can use my curling iron, flat iron, and styling products on them as well!

They really look natural in your hair. I have been surprised to learn that two bloggers that I follow talks about their extensions on their blog and if they hadn’t said they were wearing extensions I would have never known.
nice choice indeed !!
They do look really good on you. A couple of girls have extensions at work and I am tempted !!
The extensions color really did blend in with your real hair. I’ve never used any hair products like this before. I think it would be difficult to find a texture that matched my hair texture and didn’t look fake. I have thin, very curly hair that is prone to frizziness.
I have never tried using hair extensions thinking that they would be too hard for me to manage. The way you describe them I might just have to try one one of these days! I really can not tell you have them in your hair at all!!
Omg, your hair is beautiful. Both with and without.
I’ve been playing this game for many years, love having some extra lenght to my hair, It’s a addiction.
Hair extensions is a geat idea. They look just like it is your own hair.
They look great on you. I have never used them before, but my daughter is interested. I have to share this with her.
I can definitely see the difference in thickness AND length. I’ve never used extensions but my sister loves them.
I love it!!!
Extensions are fun for party time!
Those look amazing in your hair! They sound like they would be perfect for the living history I help do my hair in the time period I am teaching.
You Look So Pretty Can’t Even Tell Love It!

They make your hair look so much fuller with more more volume.
Wow that looks amazing! I have always wanted extensions but never acted on it!
These would look perfect if they had them in blue or purple so it’d go with my hair right now. ^_^ Or any other punky color I can mix in to look even better.
I dont have hair extensions. But I wanna try it.
Those are fun, and they blend in really well. I think they’d be fun to try for a night out w/hubby one time.
