Going to a special event? Glam up your look with ombre hair extensions. Do you have less than an hour to prepare? Then use clip in ombre hair extensions that take only a few minutes to apply. No special tools are needed. You don't even need professional hairdressers to attach them on your natural hair.
Here's a step-by-step guide for you, in case it's your first-time using clip-in ombre hair extensions.
Step 1: Make sure that your hair is dry and clean to prevent oiliness and grease from causing the clip-ins to slip.
Step 2: Lay out the clip-in hair extensions according to their sizes.
Step 2: Part your hair as you would normally. Use a comb to create sections in your head. To secure the sections in place, use hair clips or clamps.
Step 3: Start with a small section at the back of your head. Make sure that the rest of your hair is up.
Step 4: Use hair elastics to create smaller sections. Doing this will help secure the clips and prevent them from slipping.
Step 5: Select the ombre hair extension for that section, considering its size and length.
Step 6: Open the clips on the hair extension then place them on top of the elastic. Snap each clip close to secure the hair extension in place.
Step 7: Smoothen out your hair with a comb or brush.
Step 8: Repeat the same procedure until you are satisfied with the length and volume of your hair. You can keep them straight or try other styles such as wavy and curled.
To get the best makeover with ombre hair extensions, look for those with a base colour that matches the colour of your natural hair. Avoid picking an ombre hair colour that is very light or very dark for they may look unnatural. Finally, don't go farther than two to three shades lighter than your natural hair colour so that the extensions can blend well.
