Using Hair Extensions For Volume

Wavy chestnut clip in hair extension
I'm not much of a makeup freak but when it comes to my hair, I use a variety of products to keep it healthy and maintain its texture as its really fine and I get it chemically straightened and colored every now and then. Even though my straight hair looks neat and tidy, its also falls flat and I find it kinda boring, and I've always wanted to add volume to it. Since I'll never be able to do it myself (heck, I don't even own a hair dryer) and getting a blowout at a salon every other day is pretty inconvenient, While going through Wigsbuy - a great online store that stocks a fantastic range of wigs and extensions, I realized that the simplest and cheapest way to add volume to hair is to with clip in hair extensions.

Whether you're looking to add fullness, length or dimension to your current locks, their range of extensions can easily help you achieve the look you desire. If you're growing out a haircut and struggling with an awkward in-between style, extensions can solve all of your concerns. If you're the kinds who doesn't want to chemically treat your hair, you can even add highlights to your hair with extensions as you can see from the ombre hair extension below! Extensions can transform flat, limp hair and give us glamorous, celebrity-inspired tresses we all desire. You'll also feel like a supermodel as fabulous hair will always give you a major confidence boost in the beauty department.




Ombre clip in hair extension
 In fact, this is a trick used by many celebrities for beautiful body and thick, voluminous hairstyles. So, how do we use hair extensions for volume? 

First you have to prepare your hair and extensions. Wash and blow-dry your hair with a light mousse, to add texture and volume to your locks. Scrunch it as you go to add some waves and texture. It’s easier to hide extensions if your hair has a bit of texture. Make sure your extensions match the texture of your natural hair. If necessary, use a curling iron or flat iron to add some oomph. Gather your tools: a comb, at least four clip-in extensions, a clip to hold up your hair, and a light hairspray.

Before you begin, open all the clips on your extensions. With your hair down, pull up half your hair and clip it out of the way, so the very lowest layer at the back of your head is down, and the top is completely clipped away. The part should be at about mid-ear. At the part that separates upper hair from lower hair, insert your first extension, starting with the middle clips and working outward until it’s completely clipped to your head. Unclip your top hair, and let down another layer, about a finger-length above the previous part. Repeat the process, inserting another extension. They key here is using your natural hair to layer over the extensions to hide the clips.

    Hi June, I had only once false hair in my life, it was a long ponytail made up in a bun for a flamenco performance. These extensions are a great idea, especially for a night out! xx

    Extensions can add a lot to your hair, but I have such thick hair already that I don't feel like I need extra volume. I do like good natural extensions on some girls..
