Clip in hair extensions become the most popular type of hair extensions as they are really easy to apply and remove.
There are the advantages of clip in hair:
1. Easy to install in minutes
2. You can go from short to long hair without ruining your hair
3. Allow you add volume, highlights and length
But when choosing clip in hair extensions, you may meet some problems like the length, weight and so on. Now I will give you some tips on how to choose the best clip-in hair!
1.) You should know how many grams of one set.
Hair is measured in grams, usually if customers have no special request, each clip-in set is about 100 grams. As we all know, each set may have 7 to 10 pieces, so if all length made into 100 grams, each piece may be light-weight and have little hair on them, which would lead to hair slip out very easily.
If you want to add length, 100 grams are not enough. How many grams you need depend on the length you want and how thick and long your own hair is.
Rule of thumb: The longer you want your hair to be…and the shorter and thicker your hair is…the more grams you will need.
2.) How many grams do I need for clip-in hair?
The weight of one set clip in hair depends on the length you want and your own hair. If your hair is only shoulder, then you need a lot more grams for a full hand. Goodyard Hair always recommend clients different grams with varying hair lengths. For example, for 20″ length you will only need about 150-180 grams and for 16″ long extensions you may need only 100-130 grams.
3.) What length of clip-in hair extensions should I choose?
The longer and fuller you want the hair to be, the heavier you will wear. If you just start out, you’d better not choose the longer one. Once you get used to them, then graduate to more length slowly.
4.) Which kind of clips are better used?
There are two main kinds of clips: one is u-shaped tines and another is straight tines like a fork. Usually Goodyard would recommend customers to choose the u-shaped in with silicone lining one the cross-bar, which is durable and good for our own hair.
