Clip-in hair extensions are very popular. People love how easy they are to use. They also offer great versatility. But there are different types of clip-ins. The two main kinds are seamless and regular clip-ins.
Seamless clip ins vs regular clip ins
Regular clip-in hair extensions are very popular. They use wefts of hair sewn onto fabric. Small clips are attached to the base. You can easily clip them into your hair. They add both length and volume. Also, they work best for medium or thick hair. They are great for short blunt cuts.
On the other hand, seamless clip-ins are different. Each weft has a silicone band. This helps them lie flat against your head. What’s more, they’re ideal for thin to medium hair. They give a very natural look. You can also add highlights without dye.
Seamless clip ins vs regular clip ins
Regular clip in extensions looks bumpy when applied on the scalp whereas the Seamless clip in extensions lay flat when applied on scalp.
I prefer the seamless because you can put them higher up on your head and they’ll be less bulky on your scalp.
For those new to clip-in extensions, I offer some handy advice:
Practice Makes Perfect: Don’t get discouraged if your first attempt isn’t perfect. Practice a few times to get comfortable with the process.
Use a Tail Comb: A tail comb can help create precise sections and ensure the extensions are evenly distributed.
Tease for Extra Hold: Lightly teasing the roots where you plan to clip in the extensions can provide extra grip and prevent slipping.
To achieve the best placement, clip your hair onto a generous amount of hair strands or a net if your hair is braided. Avoid curving your wefts, as the combs can strain your hair follicles.
Blending is Key: Ensure your natural hair and the extensions blend seamlessly by gently combing them together.
Overall hair health- if your hair is already mechanically or chemically damaged,try another extensions method like wigs.
Conclusion
Both types have their unique perks and,on the other hand, minor drawbacks. Therefore,understanding these will help you to make an informed choice that aligns with your lifestyle and hair goals.
