5 Tips to Get A Natural Look with Clip-In Extensions
One of the biggest misconceptions about clip-in extensions is that they will look fake once they’ve been styled into your natural hair. While this can happen — especially if the extensions are poor quality — it doesn’t have to be that way. The goal is to blend them in as naturally as possible. These tips will help ensure your clip-ins look flawless every time.
Tip 1: Choose Quality Extensions
One of the most important things you can do is invest in high-quality extensions. Are you choosing synthetic or real human hair? Real human hair clip-ins will blend much more naturally with your own hair, especially when it comes to texture, movement, and colour.
Although synthetic options can be more affordable, they often have a shiny or plastic-like appearance and don’t respond well to heat styling. Human hair, on the other hand, allows for curling, straightening, and a more customisable look — just don’t forget to use a heat protectant every time you style!
Tip 2: Colour Match Correctly
For the most seamless blend, choose a shade that matches the mid-lengths and ends of your natural hair — not your roots. This is where the extensions will sit, so it’s crucial that the colours align. Even one or two shades too light or dark can look noticeable.
If you’re unsure about which colour to pick, feel free to contact the Jadore Hair team for a complimentary colour match. A great pro tip: use two similar shades to create a soft, highlighted effect.
Tip 3: Placement Is Key
Proper placement makes a huge difference. The number and thickness of the wefts will guide where to clip them in. Try angling the extensions slightly and placing wefts close together to create a fuller, more natural-looking result. The idea is to layer and blend them in a way that mirrors the natural flow of your hair.
