How to Input Hair Extensions

Wearing hair extensions is one of the quickest and easiest ways to totally change the look of your hair. You can go from a short and sassy style to a long and flowing style in a matter of minutes by adding hair extensions to your hair.

Putting hair extensions in your hair is something you can easily do at home yourself.

1. Determine what type of style you want to wear. Hair extensions are available in a variety of colors, styles, textures and lengths. Once this has been decided go to the beauty supply store to purchase the extensions needed. Make sure the extension is as close as possible to the color of your hair because you do not want to make it evident that it is not your natural hair. 


2. Shampoo and rinse your hair as normal to remove any oil or hairspray residue. This is optional, but working with clean hair is recommended. 


3. Brush your hair upward to the top of your head and use a clip to hold in place.


4. Use a comb to part off a small section of hair in the back of your head.


5. Open the clip attached to the hair extension and attach it as close as possible to the root of your hair. Adjust the clip if it painful to the touch.


6. Part off another section of hair and attach another hair extension.


7. Continue to repeat steps 4 and 5 until all of the extensions have been put into the hair.


8. Use a brush to smooth the hair and to incorporate the extensions into your real hair.
