4 Hacks to Blend Clip in Hair Extensions with Short Hair Seamlessly
Have you ever mourned trimming your hair too short?
A short haircut is the ultimate “I need a change” style. A surprising change in length can easily make you feel like a unique person. Haircuts give you that feeling of starting anew.
Short hairs are very easy to manage and can be less tedious than long hair or a thick head full of hair. But what if you are looking for a change? Clip in hair extensions are the perfect and easy solution. It gives you the ease of achieving a long-haired look whenever you want.
But blending short hair with hair extensions can be frustrating, stressful, and overwhelming, leading to anxiety if self-blending. And that’s the reason some people think that using clips in human hair extensions may seem tacky or not secure enough; well, they are wrong.
Yes, you heard right! With these professional hairstylist hacks and tricks, you can seamlessly blend them with your hair to make them look as natural as possible.
#4 Clips-In Hair Extension Blending Hacks:
Hack 1: Always Blend Short Hair with Layers:
Layers allowed shorter hair to blend perfectly with hair extensions. It also creates dimension, volume, and the illusion and appearance of thicker hair. It helps to create impeccable and fabulous layers. When you are layering, make sure to use a proper hair accessory or tool.
How to Blend Hair and Create Layers:
Step 1: Wash your hair and blow-dry
Step 2: Straighten hair with a flat iron (Application only, if your hair extensions are straight)
Step 3: Apply hair extensions (If you are using clip-in hair extensions, spray the roots of the hair with hairspray before applying for easier to attach tightly)
Step 4: Brush hair from top to bottom (using a downward movement)
Step 5: Here you go! Style your hair as usual. (If your hair extensions are straight, you can add curls for more volume and layer visibility)
Hack 2: Blend Short Hairs with Positioning:
It’s ok to use hair extensions for a change or grab a different look, but correctly positioning plays an important role. So, this is another trick to seamlessly blend clip in light brown hair extensions with short hair.
How to Correctly Position Hair Extensions:
Step 1: Wash your hair and blow-dry
Step 2: Straighten hair with a flat iron (Move to the next step if you are using curly hair extension)
Step 3: Using a tail comb, separate a medium-sized section of hair from the top of the head. Use a U-shape movement while detangling the hair. This movement will create a U-shaped part.
Step 4: Use a plastic clip on the hair to keep hair separated firmly in place
Step 5: Apply Clip in hair extensions directly below parted U-shape. (Unsure how to apply, go through YouTube Tutorials)
Step 6: Extension applied! Now, use a plastic hair clip to firmly secure hair extensions.
Step 7: Now apply extensions to the top medium-sized section of hair. You can keep adding until you achieve your desired thickness.
Step 8: Once you’re done, remove the plastic clip and groom them with a comb
Step 9: If the extension hair is curly, you can curl your natural hair, and if straight, you can straighten them using a flat iron
Step 10: Style as you want
Hack 3: Hide Short Hair under Extensions:
Another hack to apply Clip in hair extensions is to hide short hair under extensions. This is a bold little trick to temporarily thinning out your hair without trimming it, so your hair can blend with your hair extensions.
What to Do:
Step 1: Wash your hair and blow-dry
Step 2: Straighten hair with a flat iron (Move to the next step if you are using curly hair extension)
Step 3: Section your hair in a way so that most of your hair is clipped or tied on top of your head
Step 4: Grab your short hair from the bottom and tie it properly (you can do a flat bun or even braid the hair and pin it to your head)
Step 5: Let the rest of your hair down on top and apply extensions.
Hack 4: Blend Short Hairs with a Mixture of Lengths:
This is one of the perfect options for seamlessly blending clip-in hair extensions with short hair. With this hack, there’s no need to layer, cut, or braid your hair. You do this quickly without visiting your beautician or hairstylist. By using a mixture of different lengths of jet black clips in hair extensions, you can create the same effect of layering.
