How to Put In Clip-In Hair Extensions Like a Pro
Learning how to put in clip-in hair extensions can instantly elevate your look—no salon visit required. Whether you want extra length, volume, or a quick color change, Silke' clip-ins make it easy to achieve a flawless, natural blend in minutes.
What You’ll Need
- Silke clip-in extensions (choose your length and texture)
- Rat-tail comb for sectioning
- Sectioning clips
- Mirror and gentle-hold hairspray
- Heat tool (optional for blending)
Step-by-Step: How to Install Clip-Ins
- Prep your hair: Wash, dry, and detangle. Lightly tease the roots where clips will attach for grip.
- Section horizontally: Start at the nape of your neck and clip away the rest of your hair.
- Attach the first weft: Snap open the clips and secure them into the teased section, then snap closed.
- Work upward: Create new sections about an inch apart and repeat, moving toward the crown.
- Blend and style: Curl or straighten your hair and extensions together for a seamless look.
Pro Tips for a Seamless Blend
- Stack shorter wefts for volume; longer wefts for length.
- Use HD closures or frontals if you want a protective style with no leave-out.
How to Remove and Store Your Clip-Ins
Gently unsnap clips starting from the top row and move downward. Brush each weft from ends to roots, then store them in a silk pouch or on a hanger to preserve their silky texture. See our extension care guide for daily maintenance tips.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Clipping too close to your scalp (can cause tension and discomfort)
- Skipping teasing—slippery roots cause slipping clips
- Not blending layers or textures
