For this tutorial we are using the 7 Piece, 18” INH Remy Hair Clip in Extensions in the shade Honey Blonde but if you want something longer, we have the 22 inch hair extensions also available with 100% remy human hair guarantee.

 




APPLYING REMY CLIP IN HAIR EXTENSIONS

 

Step 1

 

Start with dry, tangle free hair. Use your finger or a comb to section off a thin layer of hair at the nape of your neck.

Be sure the line is as straight as possible. Clip up the rest of your hair.

 

Optional: Use hairspray and a fine tooth comb to tease your hair and help prevent your hair extensions from sliding.

 

Step 2

 

Gently brush out your Remy clip in hair extensions from tip to root with a soft paddle brush.

Next, take the 3 Clip Weft in your bundle and be sure it fits across the sectioned portion of your hair. Starting with the center clip, clip the extension evenly across the sectioned portion of hair, as close to your roots as possible.

Step 3

 

Section off a second layer of hair and repeat

  1. Take the 4 remy clip in hair extensions in your bundle, and repeat
  2. Remember to start with the middle clip and work your way outwards, keep the weft tight enough to prevent bumps.

Repeat with the second 4 Clip Weft.

 

STEP 4

 

Now, what remains are your 4 small clip in hair extension pieces. Use these on the sides of your hair to create volume and blend any layers. Apply the smallest wefts close to your hairline above your ear. Repeat on the other side. Use the remaining and apply to any areas that need help blending.

Gently brush your hair and check to be sure no clips are visible.

And that’s how to put in clip in hair extensions!

 

Tip: Change up your look even more with Zooey – our best selling remy clip-in bangs human hair. These clip in bangs are super easy to use and pair great with clip in hair extensions.

 

Ps. Don’t stress. You can’t mess this up. The more you apply them the more you will see what works best for you and your hairstyle.

How to Care for and Maintain Your INH Clip-In Hair Extensions?

 

Good care makes INH clip-in hair extensions last many wears. Brush them often with gentle strokes to avoid tangles. A wide tooth comb works great on longer pieces. Start cleaning when they look dull or feel heavy from product buildup. Wet the extensions under cool water. Apply a small amount of mild shampoo made for synthetic or human hair. Rinse everything out completely.

 

Many people with INFINI-FLEX synthetic hair extensions follow advice from the synthetic hair care guide to keep the shine bright. Let the pieces air dry flat on a towel. Never use a blow dryer on high heat. Store your clip-ins in the satin bag that comes with them. This keeps dust away and protects the clips. Proper storage also helps the Remy human hair extensions stay soft between uses.


How to Safely Remove INH Clip-In Hair Extensions?

 

Taking out your clip-ins the right way protects both the extensions and your natural hair. Find each clip one by one. Squeeze the clip open gently. Slide it downward without pulling hard. Work from the bottom rows up to the top. This order prevents any snags in your hair. Once all pieces are out, lay them flat.

 

The 24-inch Blowout Xtra Inches and other sets in the INH clip-in hair extensions collection come out smoothly when you use this method. Brush the wefts lightly after removal to keep them neat. Put the extensions back in their original packaging or storage bag. This step keeps the clips strong for the next time you wear them.

 

What Are Clip In Hair Extensions?


Clip-in hair extensions are wefts of hair attached to a thin seam that holds small metal snap clips. These clips open and close with a soft click so the weft sits flat against the roots of natural hair. Sets usually include several pieces in different widths. Wider wefts go across the back of the head. Narrower ones sit near the temples or crown.


The hair itself can be 100% Remy human hair that moves and feels like your own or heat-friendly synthetic fibers such as the ones used in the 24 Inch 7-Piece Blowout Extension. Both types clip in the same way. Once the clips lock, the extra hair blends with the layers already on the head and can be brushed, curled, or left straight.


Because the clips stay on the weft, the whole set comes out as easily as it goes in. No glue, no beads, no long appointment. That simple design makes clip ins a popular choice for anyone who wants temporary length or volume without changing their natural hair permanently.


Why Clip-In Extensions Are the Best DIY Option


Clip-in extensions let you add length or fullness at home in a few minutes. You control exactly where the extra hair sits and how much you use. On days when you want a fuller look, you put in every weft. On quiet days, you leave them in the satin bag.


The clips grip without heat, tape, or sewing. Natural hair stays free of chemicals or constant tension. Many people who have fine or thinning spots place smaller wefts only where coverage is needed. Others who already have medium density choose longer pieces for a seamless fall.


Shade matching stays simple, too. A color matching quiz or live chat with hair experts helps find the closest tone before the set arrives. Once the clips are in place, the hair extensions and natural hair can be styled together with the same tools. The result looks like one continuous head of hair rather than separate pieces.


Latest News In 2026


Straight styles continue to lead the way for clip-in hair extensions this year. Thin, flat wefts sit close to the scalp so the hair falls smooth and even. Heat-friendly fibers hold a blowout shape while still blending with medium or fine textures.


The 24 Inch 7-Piece Blowout Extension remains a frequent pick for people who want layered length that moves like a salon finish. Half-up, half-down options, such as Courtney and Chloe add flexible styling without extra weight. Remy human hair sets keep their natural movement after repeated wear, while INFINI-FLEX fibers stay pre-styled and ready for daily use.


Beach waves and soft natural textures also appear often alongside the straight looks. Many wearers mix a longer straight set with shorter side pieces or Zooey Remy human hair clip-in bangs for face-framing detail. The focus stays on pieces that feel light, sit flat, and match everyday hair density.

Frequently Asked Questions


How long can clip-in hair extensions last with good care?

 

Clip-in hair extensions hold up well over time when brushed gently and stored right. A wide tooth comb works best to stop tangles without pulling on the wefts or clips. Keeping them in the satin bag between wears and following basic washing steps keeps INH clip-in hair extensions soft and ready for the next use.


What is the difference between Remy human hair and synthetic clip-ins?

 

Remy human hair extensions give a soft natural feel and move just like real hair because the cuticles line up the same way. Synthetic versions like INFINI-FLEX synthetic hair stay in shape longer and need very little daily touch up. Both options fit nicely into the same application steps and deliver the volume people want.


How often should I wash my INH clip-in extensions?

 

Wash INH clip-in extensions once they start to feel heavy or lose their fresh look from product buildup. This usually lines up with every seven to ten wears for most people. Gentle shampoo under cool water plus flat air drying protects the fibers and keeps the clips working smoothly every time.


Can clip in extensions damage natural hair if used daily?

 

Clip-in hair extensions stay gentle on natural hair when the clips move around to different spots and the scalp gets short breaks. The downward slide removal method avoids any extra pull that could stress roots. Rotating rows during each application also helps everything feel comfortable even with regular wear.

 

Are INH clip-in extensions good for thin hair?

 

INH clip-in extensions add just the right amount of fullness for thin hair without extra weight. Light teasing at the roots and dry sectioning help the thin wefts sit flat and blend in smoothly. Lighter sets from the collection work especially well to create natural-looking volume that lasts all day.

 

How do clip in hair extensions stay secure throughout the day?


The metal clips open with a gentle bend and lock shut around a small section of natural hair near the roots. Light backcombing creates a soft base that gives each clip extra grip without pulling. Once locked, the wefts stay flat even during regular movement or light wind. Proper placement across the back and sides spreads the weight evenly so no single area feels stressed. For added hold on silky textures, a light mist of texturizing spray at the roots works well before clipping.


What is the best way to blend clip in hair extensions with shorter layers?


Shorter layers around the face and crown can be gently pulled over the top edges of the wefts after everything is clipped in. A soft paddle brush then smooths the join so the different lengths flow together. Smaller side pieces placed just above the ears help cover any visible transitions near the temples. Styling the natural hair and hair extensions as one unit with the same heat tools creates matching bends or waves that hide the seams. This method keeps the overall shape balanced from root to tip.


Can you use heat tools on both human hair and synthetic clip ins?


Remy human hair clip ins respond to flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers just like natural strands. A heat protectant spray shields the cuticles and keeps the hair soft after repeated use. Synthetic fibers such as INFINI-FLEX hold their original shape under moderate heat and return to the same wave or straight pattern once cooled. Both types benefit from lower temperature settings to maintain longevity. The key is matching the tool and temperature to the fiber so the style lasts through the day.


How many wefts work best for fine or thin hair?


Lighter placement with fewer wefts prevents the roots from feeling heavy or looking overdone. Starting with a medium-width piece at the nape and adding only one or two narrow pieces near the sides builds soft volume where it is needed most. This approach leaves space between the wefts so the natural hair can move freely. Many people with fine textures find that rotating the placement of the clips from one wear to the next keeps the scalp comfortable. The result is fuller-looking hair that still feels light enough for everyday wear.


Are multi-piece sets different from single-piece or U-clip styles?


Multi-piece sets let you position each weft exactly where extra length or density is wanted, creating a customized shape across the head. A single-piece or U-clip style rests as one continuous unit across the crown and covers a wider area in a single step. Both designs use the same snap-clip mechanism and remove just as quickly. Multi-piece options offer more control for layered or uneven natural hair, while single-piece versions simplify the process for uniform coverage. The choice depends on how much flexibility is preferred for daily styling.
