Step2. Start, brush your human hair weaves well and leave no knots. Then make a clear parting by following the implantation of your hair, from one ear to the other. Tie the top wicks over your head so they don't bother you.

Step3. Once you have carded your hair, you can start putting on your clip-in extensions. Take an extension lock and open the clips to secure them to the root of your hair. For added support, you can use hair bands that are used to make mini braids. Make small pigtails with each strand, in the areas where the clips of your extensions will be hooked.

Step4. Start at one end of the strip and fix them one by one, in order, precisely and straight, pressing the clips against the roots. Be careful not to make a wave! Some find it easier to start in the middle ... It's up to you to use. If you have fine hair, you can add a little hairspray to fix it better.

Step5. The first strip is well fixed? Congratulations, you just have to repeat the maneuver, line by line, from bottom to top, as close as possible, until the extensions are used up. Please note:

The wider the extensions, the more they should be placed at the top of the head. The smallest are placed on the sides.
We will first place the narrowest strip of 10cm, 3 or 4 fingers above the nape.
We make another partition a little above the middle of the ear to the middle of the other ear, and repeat the process. We carded the root and then positioned the 25cm strip.
The next partition we will make 2 or 3 fingers above the previous strip, that way we will cover all the hair without noticing the natural haircut and extension.

Step7. And now that you have that long and / or voluminous mane that you wanted, comb your hair as you like. You can leave your hair loose or make pigtails, braids or collected.As you will see, hair extensions are very versatile and you can get the desired hairstyle.
