How to wear clip in extensions

1		Use your index fingers or a comb to make a U shaped part on the back of your head that spans from ear to ear. This U shaped part is known as a "track". Snap open each clip on one of your wefts.
2		Now place the clips along the line below your "track" and snap shut. The grip teeth in the clip should capture your own hair and secure the weft to your head.
3		Once all of your clips are bound, make another track and add in another weft following the same procedure. Continue to add wefts until the desired style is achieved.
4		Generally, three to four tracks are optimal to achieve a full layered look. Most people choose to add in wefts from the top of the head (often around the top of the ear) and work their way down.
5		Once the back is finished, you may use the single clip pieces to fill in the sides or the back as needed. Side pieces do not need to align to the tracks you made for the back of your head, but can be placed wherever you feel you need to add volume.

How to Care for Human Hair Extensions

Mind your hair extensions to keep them in the best condition possible. They are valuable accessories to your look and are actually quite easy to maintain. All you need to know is a few basic care instructions as outlined below. These tips can help you keep human hair extensions looking fabulous and lasting longer.

1		Be Extremely Gentle When caring for hair extensions, brushing or styling the extensions gently can prevent the hair from falling out. Use a soft-bristled brush, start at the bottom and slowly work your way up. It is best to care for them more than you would your own hair.
2		Wash with Moisturizing Hair Care Products Wash your extensions a maximum of 3 times a week with moisturizing hair care products. Because your extensions are not getting natural oils from your scalp to keep your hair in good condition, this will keep the moisture in from shampooing while at the same time not drying them out from over-shampooing.
3		Use a Heat Protectant Use a heat protectant on hair extensions to reduce the risk of heat damage whenever you use a heated appliance on your hair.
4		Deep Condition Once a week, carefully put your extensions in lukewarm water and apply a bit of conditioner all over. Leave for around 20 minutes then rinse and let dry naturally - using a blow dryer will damage them if used too much. If necessary, put the dryer on a cool setting (almost as if it was wind).
5		Keep Ends Trimmed As careful as you are, your human-hair extensions will most likely get split ends. To avoid letting the damage move up the hair shaft, trim the ends every 6-10 weeks. You can do it yourself using salon scissors, or go to a hairstylist.
