Step 2: Begin with a 3-clip weft
Place your fingers below your ears or on 2 sides of the hairline, or use a comb to start separating your hair at this position. Gather the top layer of your hair into a bun or secure it with clips.
Take out a 3-clip weft and brush it from the bottom to dangle any knots before clipping it into your hair.
Measure the weft with your head to make sure it’s length and size will blend and fit properly with the parted hair, Next, determine the middle of your head and clip in the center clip into your hair at the root. Ensure that the clip is secure as close to roots as possible since it will prevent the clip from slipping off. Simply tease it to make sure you have done correctly. After clipping in the middle, clip the left one then the right one.
The same method can be employed to apply other wefts.
Step 3: Apply a small weft
Separate a thin section from the first clipped hair, about 1 inch above the first clip-in weft and secure the rest of your hair as the second step. This second weft should be at the top of your ear. Take a smaller clip, measure it against the place you are going to put it in to ensure it fits well. Then, apply it as you do with the first weft, start clipping at the middle then 2 sides. When clipping at the middles, slightly stretch the weft to prevent bumps.
Step 4: Apply the larger weft
Separate a thin section from the clipped hair, it will be 1 inch above the third weft and secure the rest of your hair as the previous step. This weft will be at the widest area of your head.
Take the largest 4-clip weft, comb it through and start clipping. Clip in the middle two clips following by clipping in the side clips.
Step 5: Apply another 3-clip weft
Separate a thin layer from the clipped hair, 1 inch above the last on and secure the rest of your hair as the previous step. Take a 3-clip weft, comb it through, and start clipping. Clip in the middle clip following by clipping in the side clips.
Step 6: Apply clip-in weft at the side
Clip-in hair extensions often include wefts that go on 2 sides of your scalp. This will add length volume on the size make your hair look fuller.
Separate your hair about 2 inches on the side, above your ear. Clip the rest hair away. Take a small 2-clip weft and clip close the root of your hair. Then, start clipping the clip near the hairline then clip the one near the back of your head.
Do the same thing on the other side.
Step 7: Apply 1 clip wefts
You can apply 1-clip wefts above the 2-clip one on the side or anywhere you think it needs more volume. Clip the rest of the hair away. Comb through the wefts before applying then clip them to your hair close to the roots.
After finishing all the steps, gently brush your hair and check in the mirror to ensure all the wefts are undetectable. Fix and adjust it if needed. And now you have a new hair look with more volume and length.
