How to Cut Your Clip in Extensions: A Step-by-Step Guide

Cropping your Clip In Extensions is certainly an art, but if you have the right knowledge and practice, you can do it from the comfort of your own home without having to spend hundreds of dollars in the salon! We've put together a step-by-step guide for you to cut your Clip In Extensions like a pro:

Method 1: The cleaning cut

This first method is probably one of the easiest methods you can use. In fact, it only requires 3 simple steps!

Step 1: Brush your hair to remove all knots and matting

Comb your hair well with an Extensions brush after attaching your Clip In Extensions. When brushing, be sure to omit the joints from your Clip In Extensions so that they don't get damaged and so it doesn't pull. Do not stop combing until the brush slides slightly through your hair and has no knots. This step serves to blend the extensions with your own hair.

Step 2: Smooth the extensions and note the length

Use a mirror to see from behind how long your own hair is compared to your extensions. Also, you will most likely notice that your extensions at the ends begin to thinn. Also pay attention to the places where the ends of your extensions are longer than others.

Step 3: Choose a cutting length

So that you can achieve a natural look with your extensions, you definitely have to shorten them a little. If your own hair is layered, your extensions will need to be layered too. If all of your hair is length, your extensions need to be the same length as well. You can even give the extensions a slight cut to get rid of the artificial look that many extensions have and for a more natural finish.

Method 2: trim your extensions

This method uses a razor blade instead of scissors. This creates a softer, more graduated result. This method gives a more obvious result than the first method, but this one is definitely worth it!

The purpose behind using a razor blade instead of scissors is to keep the ends of the hair from looking too dull and unnatural. Due to the softer, layered finish, your natural hair and the extensions will blend seamlessly into one another.

Step 1: Cut the longest section with the razor

First, comb the section of Brazilian hair wholesale to be cut well. Then hold it between your index and middle fingers. Now use the razor to gently cut off the excess hair in small strokes.

Step 2: Leave some length and judge for yourself what your hair looks like

It's always best to cut gradually. So you can carefully check your progress and see how satisfied you are with your result.

Step 3: Comb your trimmed hair

After you've combed your hair, grasp the hair between your index and middle fingers. Hold it about 10 inches from the ends of your hair. Look for excessively long hair that doesn't fit the new overall shape of the cut.

Step 4: Cut off protruding ends with scissors

Position the scissors so that the tip of the scissors points slightly into the hairline that is between your fingers. Now cut excessively long hair with the scissors perpendicular to the hairline to even out unsightly edges.

Step 5: Use the razor to blend the strands around your face

First, tuck away the remaining hair so that it doesn't get in your way. Now slide with a gentle trimming motion from top to bottom over the length of the hair that frames your face on both sides. The goal here is to blend the sides of your extensions with your own hair.

Method 3: blend your extensions with your natural hair

Cutting and trimming your extensions is certainly one thing, but blending them with your natural hair is another entirely! This method is for those who are planning a big night out and want to look fabulous and flawless in the process!

Step 1: Wash your hair extensions thoroughly

Wash your extensions with a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner until they are completely clean. This removes the unnatural shine that extensions tend to have when they're new. Let them air dry overnight. Under no circumstances should you use a heat gun to dry it! This ensures that the new extensions blend seamlessly with your hair.

Step 2: curl your extensions (if they are heat resistant)

Take a curling iron and curl your hair in 5cm sections. Then hold the curls for about 10 seconds and spray them with a generous amount of hairspray.

If your extensions are made from real hair, use a heat protectant spray before curling. This will ensure that they won't be damaged and will last longer. If they are synthetic we strongly recommend leaving out the heat tools entirely!

Step 3: Match the number of extensions to the thickness of your hair

To ensure that your hair looks natural and voluminous, you don't necessarily have to attach the complete set of your clip-in extensions! If you use too many wefts, it can end up looking too unnatural and everyone can see that you are wearing extensions.

Step 4: Pay attention to the length of your clip in extensions

If you want a natural look, opt for extensions that are shorter than 50cm. Extra long hair may sound tempting, but it mostly looks unnatural as the majority of people don't have excessively long hair. Unless it's just spurious.

Step 5: add some color!

Now that your hair extensions are beautifully blended in, you may want to add some color as well. While your extensions are likely to be a similar color to your own hair, a stylist can help you find the perfect shade for a perfect blend!
