Wearing Precautions for Clip-in Hair Extensions

1. Pre-wearing Preparations

1. Hair Cleaning: Thoroughly wash clip in hair extensions before wearing to ensure it is clean and oil-free, as grease may affect the clip’s grip.
2. Hair Condition: Hair must be completely dry. Wet hair can cause clips to slip or damage the hair extension material.

2. Key Points During Wearing

1. Hair Sectioning:

• Layer the clip in hair extensions and start from the bottom. Create a horizontal part at the lower head, ensuring each layer is smooth.
• Take a moderate amount of hair each time to prevent the clips from failing to secure or looking bulky.

2. Clip Installation:

• Ensure clips are tightly connected to the weft. Check if stainless steel clips are loose or damaged (especially for Remy and Virgin extensions, replace clips regularly for firmness).
• Open the clip, attach it to the inner side of the scalp, and press gently until a “click” sound is heard to confirm it is clamped.

3. Position Adjustment:

• clip in hair extensions should be 2-3 mm away from the scalp to avoid pulling or shifting.
• When wearing multiple layers, space the wefts evenly to blend naturally with your own hair.

3. Post-wearing Notes

1. Daily Care:

• Avoid frequent combing, especially when wet, to prevent tangling or shedding (use a wide-tooth comb to gently brush from the ends).
• Apply heat protectant spray before styling, and keep high-temperature tools (e.g., curling irons, straighteners) below 150°C to avoid damage.

2. Cleaning and Maintenance:

• Wash extensions regularly with mild shampoo and cold water. Avoid vigorous rubbing, and air-dry flat before wearing.
• Keep away from direct sunlight when drying to prevent fading or brittleness.

3. Wearing Duration and Frequency:

• Remy clip-ins last 3-6 months, while Virgin extensions can last 8-12 months, depending on usage and care.
• Limit daily wear to under 8 hours to avoid scalp discomfort from prolonged pressure.

4. Special Cases:

• For naturally oily hair, replace extensions more frequently (every 6-8 weeks) to prevent oil buildup affecting clip adhesion.
• If clips loosen or tangles occur, replace or repair immediately to avoid damaging natural hair.

4. Additional Tips

• Choose clip in hair extensions that match your hair color and texture, especially Virgin hair, to ensure a natural blend.
• Gently tug the extensions after wearing to check security, and avoid strenuous activities or excessive pulling that may cause them to fall out.
