Blending clip in hair extensions with short hair and making them look natural in your hair can seem a little tricky, but by following the tips and tricks we will share with you, your extensions will look so natural, no one will even be able to tell you’re wearing them.
Hacks To Blend Clip In Hair Extensions with Short Hair
Blending long hair extensions with short hair can be a bit of a challenge, but with the right techniques, it’s entirely achievable. First, choose the right extensions. For short hair, 20-inch clip-in extensions work best. Longer lengths can be trickier to blend, especially around the hairline and nape of the neck.
Before applying the extensions, prepare your hair. Part your hair slightly above your ear and braid the undersection to create a smooth base. This prevents shorter strands from peeking through.
Now, let’s move on to applying the extensions. Start by attaching a three-clip weft to the middle of your head. Secure the side clips by twisting small sections of your hair and clipping the extension onto the twists. To blend the sides, twist small sections of hair and clip them to the middle of the back of your head. This helps blend the shorter sides with the longer extensions. For the front, create a small twist or braid above the eyebrow and clip the front weft onto it.
To achieve a natural look, consider curling both your natural hair and the extensions. Always use a heat protectant before styling. Lightly mist your hair with hairspray to help the extensions blend seamlessly. Remember, practice makes perfect. It might take a few tries to get the hang of it, but with patience and practice, you’ll be able to rock long, luscious hair, even with a shorter base.
