In this blog, we’ll provide our top tips about how to style hair with clip in extensions. Keep reading to learn how to achieve a bouncy, natural-looking style without too much extra effort.

1. Don’t Be Afraid of Hot Tools

The luxury clip in hair extensions in The Lauren Ashtyn Collection are made from 100% REMY human hair. While it can’t do everything your natural hair can do, it can safely be styled in most of the same ways.

The key to achieving a bouncy boost of volume is a high-quality heat protectant that hydrates and moisturizes. These life-saving hair care products will nourish both your natural hair and your extensions. It will keep your hair looking silky, shiny, and healthy, even when exposed to hot styling tools.

2. Product Makes All the Difference

As long as you wash and care for your extensions regularly, there’s no reason you can’t use product! We’re a huge fan of volumizing powders, which add all-day volume to any style. Even if you’re in a rush, a little volumizer brings the bounce, making you look put together on low-effort days.

Pair volumizers with a shiny argon oil serum, which helps replace moisture and gives your hair extra shine. We particularly like to run a little bit of oil through our hair right after hot styling. It’s a quick way to ensure it doesn’t look dry or flat. You can also use it to prep your hair just before you blow dry to ensure it maintains its healthy bounce.

3. Braid It Into Your Natural Hair

Ladies with naturally thin or thinning hair know how underwhelming a skinny braid can be. That’s why we’re obsessed with another way to wear hair extensions with clips. Just braid your hair topper or extensions into your natural hair to create a voluminous braid.

Start by braiding the top half of your hair on both sides. French or Dutch braids look cute, but even a three-strand braid is adorable. Pull in natural hair and hair from your extensions.

Tie the braids off where they meet in the back for a cute half-up, half-down style. You can also gather them into a messy bun for that long-hair-don’t-care vibe!

For extra volume and security, we recommend a texturizer spray. It will add a little bit of additional hold that will keep you feeling confident.

 

 

4. Master the Mini Bun

Here’s one of our favorite tips for how to wear clip in extensions: They’re perfect for lazy days! The classic mini bun is a great match for anyone using clip in extensions to add root volume.

All you have to do is create a tiny bun using only the top section of your hair. Be sure you’re including the hair in your topper or extension. Before you start, brush your natural hair and the hair in the extension together. That will help you blend your hair more easily when you section it out to create your bun.

For a somewhat more put-together look, you can style any hair that is left framing your face. It’s the perfect opportunity to use those hot styling tools we were talking about!

5. Embrace Backcombing

Backcombing your roots before applying extensions is a great way to add a little volume while enhancing hold. Make sure to use a natural, gentle brush, especially if you experience hair loss or thinning. Start about one inch from your scalp for maximum security. For extra peace of mind, you can use a little bit of hairspray, too.

6. Master the Upside-Down Ponytail

One of our favorite tips for how to style clip in extensions is a classic! It solves all the problems women have putting their extensions into a ponytail.

Rather than putting in your extensions and pulling your hair back, flip your extensions upside down and clip them in that way. Then, make a ponytail like normal!

This method ensures your extensions will blend in seamlessly with your natural hair. It adds both length and volume to your ponytail while keeping everything in place. You can accessorize with all the cute scrunchies you want or even use your sleek pony as the base of an up-do!

7. Try Wet Styling

We love wet styling in the summertime! You can achieve that fresh-from-the-beach look, even with clip in hair extensions or toppers. Just curl your hair, add volumizing powder to the roots, then boost your curls with some gel.

Naturally, better products help you achieve a more polished, professional look. Start with the 100% vegan, cruelty-free, organic, sulfate- and paraben-free products from The Lauren Ashtyn Collection. They have the power to make the most luxurious clip in extensions look even better! Plus, they can extend the life of your extensions, too.
