Follow this simple tutorial on how to clip in hair extensions to blend seamlessly for a stress-free, just irresistible hairstyle!
step 1: unboxing your clip in hair extensions.
Once your favorite hair extensions have arrived, open the "try me" section at the bottom to see a hair clip and test to see if it's a perfect color match to your hair. Check out this article before purchasing to make sure you get the best color.
Got your perfect match hair color for clip in hair extensions? You may now open the main section of the tube to see the whole set. These hair extensions made of real hair are the best choice for people that have thin hair, fine hair but also for those that have thick hair and want to add more length and enjoy the look of having long hair.
Brush your hair and the hair extensions to get rid of any tangles. Continue by organizing the hair wefts and group them by size.
Pro tip: use 2 mirrors, front and back. This will make it easier to see what piece goes where on your head.
step 2: clip.
You can begin by clipping in the 3 and 4 clip wefts starting at the bottom of your head, always working your way up.
First attach the middle clips, then secure the pieces to your hair with the side clips. Feel free to stack as many wefts as you see fit, but do not exceed the middle of your head (by the ear line), to keep the clip in hair from showing through. Finish by adding in the smaller wefts of clip in extensions.
The 2-clip wefts will go to the sides of your head for more volume. The remaining 1-clip wefts can be used to cover any spots between the other wefts. Consider these your extra clip in hair pieces for volume!

step 3: style!
After clipping in all the wefts you need, brush out all the hair and start styling it. Use your favorite styling tools. By curling or straightening the real hair clip-ins and your natural hair together, you’ll make sure the blending is perfect and that the outcome looks natural in just minutes.
After you put in your hair extensions, you’ll want to make them look like they’re just part of your natural hair. Here’s a quick way to do that:
Start by layering your hair if your own hair is a lot shorter than the clip ins. This helps them blend together better. When you’re putting in the clips, tease your hair at the roots a bit. This gives the clips something to hold onto and hides them better. Don’t put the clips too close to the front of your head; start a few inches back so they don’t show.
When you’re all done clipping in the extensions, give your hair a good brush. Then, style it however you like, maybe with some curls or straightening. Just remember to treat your hair and the extensions gently, and they’ll look great together.

Patricia – Having short hair should not be a reason to stay away from clip ins, on the contrary!

I have shorter hair but trying to grow it out and would like to try the clips. Most of the before and after have longer hair than I do. Do they work with shorter hair? My hair is just above my shoulders.
SHEILA – If your order was placed with standard delivery, it should arrive within 3-6 business days after processing time. If the order is late, please contact out customer care team at help@irresistibleme.com and they will look into it! Thank you for your order!
I ordered my extensions how long does it take for them to arrive at my home
JENNIFER – All our extensions are 100% human remy hair, so they can be treated exactly like your natural hair. It is generally not advised to use bleach or harsh chemicals on your hair, but if done professionally and knowing the consequences, our extensions can be bleached as well!
You say the extensions can be dyed….but can they be bleached?
Sarah Cross – All our extensions are 100% Human Remy Hair and they have been previously color treated in order to get the shades we offer. They have not been chemically treated otherwise, so they hold color perfectly well if you want to dye them so that they match your hair perfectly! Just remember that it is not advised to use bleach to lighten the color, it is always better to dye the extensions to a darker color to keep the hair from damage!
just ordered a set, I have shoulder length hair and I dye it a lot, I understand this is human hair but some companies will process it in a way that makes it super shiny but won’t allow hair dye to take hold. Will I have the same issue with these?
Jennifer – if we got this right, you ordered two of our Signature Wefts? These are generally used to add some spontaneous volume for a special hairdo, like a pony or braids, you normally use a set that comes with hair pieces ranging from 1 clip wefts to the 4 clip one. All these different widths allow you to strategically place them so that you can cover your entire head and make the blend in naturally. In case you bought two of the 4-clip wefts, try to layer them so that they spread across your head and if needed, trim them a little so that they match your layered hair!
I ordered 2 wefts of the classic and I can’t seem to make it look right my hair is layered so maybe that’s the issue but I’m irritated spending all this money and not enjoying them.
Emily – You don’t need to buy the wefts separately, the extensions come in sets and every set has a different number of wefts included (from 7 to 11 pieces).
The Royal and Classic lines include: 200 and 260 grams – 10 pieces; 140 grams – 8 pieces; 100 grams – 7 pieces.
The Invisible line includes: 200 and 260 grams – 11 pieces; 140 grams – 10 pieces; 100 grams – 9 pieces
I’m a bit confused by the sheer number of clips, hope someone can help! Do I need to buy all those pieces separately or how does that work?
Catherine Lyn – One of the best things about clip in hair extensions is definitely the fact that they are comfortable to wear. If you properly put them in you will not even know they are there! The most important thing is to choose the right weight: if your hair is thin remember to buy a lighter set! Also if your scalp is very sensitive just clip the wefts a bit lower from your roots so that they have more room to move, they will feel more comfortable that way.
These before and after look amazing! I’m almost convinced to try some but my only concern is that I don’t know if they are comfortable to wear?
Tory – When we started writing this guide we really wanted to create something simple but extremely useful especially for first time users so we are beyond happy to hear we achieved that! Also we can guarantee that feeling overwhelmed as a first time user is totally normal, we’ve all been there!
When it comes to the order you install the extensions in, you have nothing to worry about. As long as the extensions feel and look great on your head you did a great job! Make the order your own and create something that feels right for you!
This is such a useful guide, especially for first time users like me! When I first got my extensions, I honestly was at a lost, I was overwhelmed by the number of wefts (I wonder if this is a thing?). There is something that I do differently though, namely I always start clipping the big weft first; it just feels better on my head. Is that okay?
Samantha – Please don’t be stressed out by this! In some cases, it’s totally normal to have some extra
wefts, it actually happens more often then you may think!
Maybe you choose the wrong weight for your hair: if you have thin hair 100 or 140
grams may work better for you; 200 or 260 grams can be a bit much for fine hair. Also,
the size of your head is a factor: if you have a small head 10 wefts are way too much so
just use less.
But, if you really want to use all the wefts, a great way to do it is to stack the wefts on top
of each other (we only recommend clipping a maximum of 2 wefts together – more then
that and it will look bulky on your head).
The most important thing to remember when installing the extensions is to make it so that
it feels natural to you! Don’t worry if you have extra clips, as long as you feel and look
good, your method is perfect!
I tried this last night and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I have leftover clips!
Why? This is stressing me out!
Amanda H. – Clip in hair extensions are not designed to be worn overnight (not the case for tape-ins,
you can sleep with them without a problem). We recommend you take them our every
night; it’s really easy, they can be removed by simply unclipping them and gently sliding
them out. If you don’t take them off they will tangle and you may even end up pulling on
them in your sleep and that will not feel good!
Seriously loving this, real life saver but, now that I learned how to install them and
they look great (if I may say so myself!) my question is: can I sleep with them in? I don’t
want to destroy my work!
