How To Apply Clip-In Hair Extensions

Use our reference points and your fingers to navigate your way through our simple 5-step application.

  • Prepping Each Section: For thin hair, prep each section for extra security and support. Use a clip to secure all hair away from the area you will be prepping. Use one hand to hold the ends of your hair, and place a comb 1 inch from the scalp with the other hand. Push the comb towards the scalp three times. This creates a cushion for the clips to hold onto.
  • Opening and Closing the Clips: To open the clip, use your index finger and thumb to gently push the center of the clip. To close the clip, push your thumbs the opposite way
  • Row 1: Row 1 has three clips; the middle clip is labeled in an opposing color. Place your index fingers at the bottom of your ears. Draw a line meeting both fingertips in the center back of your head. Twist and clip all hair above your fingers up and away. Depending on the thickness of your hair, at this time you may need to prep the section (see prepping each section). At this time you may need to prep the section depending on the thickness of your hair. (see prepping each section) Start with the middle clip, place it in the center of the section and secure it into place. Continue to secure the remaining clips in the same manner.
  • Row 2: Row 2 has four clips. Draw a line meeting both fingertips in the center back of your head. Twist and clip all hair above your fingers up and away. At this time you may need to prep the section depending on the thickness of your hair. (see prepping each section) Start with the 2 middle clips, place them in the center of the section and secure them into place. Continue to secure the remaining clips.
  • Row 3: Row 3 has six clips. Place your index finger at your temple. Draw a line towards the center of your head.  Depending on the thickness of your hair, at this time you may need to prep the section (see prepping each section.) Start with the clip closest to the face, placing it a 1/2 inch away from the front hairline and securing it into place. Continue to secure the remaining clips.
  • Row 4: Row 4 has three clips; The clip that lies closest to the face will be labeled in an opposing color. This will be placed on the left side of your head. Place your index finger at your temple. Draw a line towards the center of your head. Depending on the thickness of your hair, at this time you may need to prep the section (see prepping each section). Start with the clip closest to the face, placing it a 1/2 inch away from the front hairline and securing it into place. Continue to secure the remaining clips (you may also place this section on a diagonal, for a more natural face frame).
  • Row 5: Row 5 has three clips; The clip that lies closest to the face will be labeled in an opposing color. This will be placed on the right side of your head. Repeat Step 4 for application guidelines.
  • Removing the Clip-Ins: To remove the extensions, start at the top of your head. Clip everything above up and away. Gently open all the clips. Lift the whole piece up and away from the head. Do not pull down on the extensions as this may cause harm to your natural hair. Continue working down the head clipping natural hair up and away.

PRODUCTS FOR CLIP-IN HAIR EXTENSION CARE

In order to maintain your LOX Extensions, it is essential that you sustain the moisture content of the Remy Human hair. Below are hair extension care guidelines to help you keep your LOX hydrated and healthy. To maintain the highest quality, we recommend using professional products ONLY.

  • Sulfate-Free shampoo:  We recommend cleansing your hair extensions with a gentle shampoo. Properties such as sulfate-free, hydrating, and/or color protecting are all suggested. Please avoid harsh shampoos, including those designed to treat sensitized or damaged hair.
  • Moisturizing mask:  We recommend a mask that can be used every time you wash your hair. The extensions do not absorb the natural oils produced by our scalp, so it is essential to infuse luster and moisture into the hair.
  • Leave-in conditioner with heat protection: We recommend a nourishing cream to help protect the Remy Hair from the daily aggressions of a blow dryer, flat iron, curling iron, and heat from the sun.
  • Shine serum: We recommend using a shine serum to aid in detangling the hair, increasing brush glide and moisture retention.
  • LOX Loop Brush: To avoid matting it is essential that you use a LOX Loop Brush when brushing in between the wefts and micro bead hair extensions.
  • LOX Hair Clips: These easy clips make it so simple to clip up a lot of hair at once. Use them when blow drying or styling your hair.

CLIP-IN HAIR EXTENSION CARE

    We recommend the use of professional products only. If wearing the extensions every day, LOX recommends shampooing them once every 3-4 weeks. If wearing only occasionally, LOX recommends shampooing them once every 3-4 months. For longer lasting extensions, the hair should be washed only as needed. Never swim or shower while wearing extensions.

  • WASHING THE REMY HUMAN HAIR CLIP-IN EXTENSIONS:  
    • Before shampooing, gently remove any tangles using our LOX Loop Brush.
    • Hold the extensions at the clips, and dampen them with cooler water. Apply sulfate-free shampoo, and gently stroke the hair downward starting from the top of the weft working down to the ends. Do not use circular or scrubbing motions. Rinse thoroughly in the same direction.
    • Apply the moisturizing mask. Avoid contact with the base of the extensions. Condition the hair in downward strokes. Leave conditioner on for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
  • STYLING: 
    • We recommend laying the extensions out flat to air dry or when using heat tools. If you are using our synthetic clip-ins, we do not recommend the use of a blow dryer or hot tools over 320 degrees. Always use a heat-protecting product on the hair before applying heat.
    • Use our LOX Clip-In Bag when styling the extensions.
    • Use a ceramic or boar bristle brush to blow-dry the hair.
    • Heat tools, including curling irons and flat irons, may be used. Keep the heat approximately 1 inch away from the base of the extensions.
