How to Wear Your One-Piece Extension (3 Easy Steps)

🔧 What You’ll Need:

• A tail comb

• One hair clip or sectioning clip

• Your one-piece clip-in hair extension

✅ Step 1: Section Your Hair

Use a tail comb to create a horizontal parting from ear to ear, around the middle or lower back of your head. Clip the top half of your hair out of the way.

✅ Step 2: Clip in the Hair Extension

• Open all the clips on your extension (you’ll hear a little “click”)

• Start by clipping the center clip onto your natural hair at the parting line

• Work your way outwards, securing the side clips firmly along the parted section

Gently tug on the extension to make sure it’s stable.

✅ Step 3: Blend Your Hair

Release your natural hair and comb through gently. Use your fingers or a brush to blend your hair with the extension.

Pro Tip: Lightly curl or wave your natural hair and the extension together for a seamless, voluminous look!

How to Care for Your One-Piece Clip-In Extension

🧼 Washing Instructions:

You don’t need to wash the extension after every use—every 10–15 wears is usually enough.

Steps:

1. Rinse the extension gently with lukewarm water

2. Apply sulfate-free shampoo, working in a downward motion

3. Rinse and apply conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends

4. Let sit for 3–5 minutes, rinse again

5. Pat dry with a towel—don’t rub

6. Lay flat to air dry (avoid blow-drying if possible)

💡 Maintenance Tips:

• Store it flat or hang it on a hanger when not in use

• Avoid tangling by brushing it gently before and after each wear

• Use lightweight hair oil or serum on the ends to prevent dryness

• Avoid sleeping, swimming, or working out with it installed

🔥 Heat Styling:

Yes, our extensions are made of 100% real human hair—you can curl, straighten, or style as you wish. Just keep the heat under 180°C (356°F) to maintain hair quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is it suitable for short hair?
A: Yes! We recommend that your natural hair be at least shoulder-length. For the best blend, curl or wave your hair slightly.

Q: Will it hurt or feel heavy?
A: Not at all. The clips are lightweight and cushioned for comfort. With proper placement, you won’t feel any pulling or pressure on your scalp.

Q: Will it fall out during the day?
A: No. The clips are strong and secure. For extra hold, lightly tease the roots where the clips attach or use a bit of texturizing spray.

Q: Can I dye it?
A: Since it’s 100% human hair, you can tone or color it, but we always recommend having it done by a professional to avoid damage.
