Clip In Hair Extensions FAQ

How do you install clip in hair extensions?

The way you position your clip in hair extensions can be the difference between natural-looking and easily visible extensions . For best results always make sure to brush your hair thoroughly before beginning. This will ensure there are no tangles and that you can place your clip in extensions properly.

You will need to section your hair in order to place your clip ins. We recommend starting from the bottom of your head and working your way up. You should also start in the middle of your head (generally at the nape of your neck) to ensure clip ins are placed symmetrically.

When applying your clip in hair extensions, make sure to place the clips as close to the root as possible. This will prevent them from sliding and will help to ensure the clips are not visible for a natural look.

Clip in hair extensions can be tricky to get right the first time but after some practice it’ll be second nature in no time!

If you purchase clip in hair extensions from OA Salons, our expert staff will take the time to show you exactly how to apply your clip ins for a natural look and ensure that you know how to best look after them.

How long do clip in extensions last?

How long your clip in hair extensions last will depend on a number of factors including the quality of hair, how often you wear them and how well you look after them.

Most clip in hair extensions last between 3 and 6 months however, we have clients who have been wearing the same clip in hair extensions for up to 2 years now!

The higher quality the hair used the longer your clip ins will last. We use Russian hair for our clip in hair extensions; the highest quality hair available anywhere in the world. We also ensure that our clients know exactly how to look after their new clip in hair extensions with our detailed hair extension aftercare advice.

How much do clip in extensions cost?

The cost of clip in hair extensions will vary depending on where you get them from and the quality. Generic clip in hair extensions bought online will be cheaper as the hair quality will be lower and they will not be expertly colour matched to your own hair. This means they are unlikely to look as natural as bespoke clip in extensions.

All of our clip in hair extensions are hand made and expertly colour matched to your hair for a seamless blend. Naturally, a set of bespoke clip in hair extensions will be more expensive, however, they will last longer and blend seamlessly into your own hair!

How often should I wash my clip in hair extensions?

Clip in hair extensions do not need to be washed as much as your natural hair, or more permanent extension methods. This is because clip in hair extensions do not receive oils from your scalp and will therefore stay clean for longer.

There is no set timescale for how often you should wash your clip in hair extensions. It will depend on how frequently you wear them. Use your judgement and wash them when you feel they could use a freshen up however, a good rule of thumb is around every 15-20 wears.

Can you sleep in your clip in hair extensions?

Clip in hair extensions are not designed to be slept in. The clips will likely be uncomfortable and the hair could become tangled, decreasing the longevity of your clip ins. The clips could also damage your scalp and natural hair if slept in.

We recommend removing clip in hair extensions before bed, ensuring they are detangled and stored safely for your next use. This will not only save you a job next time you want to wear your hair extensions but it will help them to last longer too!

Can you sleep in clip in hair extensions?

Technically you can swim with clip in hair extensions in. They can be treated just like your normal hair however if you want them to last for as long as possible, we recommend removing them before activities such as swimming, showering or visiting the gym.

Chemicals typically found in swimming pools such as chlorine can damage the hair causing it to become dry and brittle which could stop your clip in hair extensions from looking their best.

Are clip in extensions suitable for thin hair?

Clip in hair extensions are not really designed for thin hair. When used in thin hair the clips may show through meaning they don’t look natural. You may also struggle to attach clip ins to thin hair.

The weight of the extensions could cause them to slide out. This could also put extra strain on thin hair causing damage. If you have thin hair and are interested in hair extensions, take a look at our miniature micro rings or options for those with hair loss and thinning hair.
