Styling Your Extensions and Wigs | Baguley's of Cheshire

For any first time users, knowing how to apply and style your Hair Extensions can be tricky. A lot of people struggle at first to learn how to blend the extensions with their own hair, make sure the clips are covered and style them so that they can remain inconspicuous.

Here are a few tips of how to put your extensions in:

First, you will need to split your hair into sections. Depending on your extensions you will have to make a different number of sections. For our 3 piece extensions you will have to create 4 sections. The top section of your hair needs to be the thickest layer. This is because if this layer is not thick enough, the clips of your extensions will become visible. To ensure this section is not thick, I would advise parting your hair in the centre and taking a section about 2 inches from your parting. Tie this section to the top of your head with an elastic band.

Then create three more equal sections. Excluding your top layer, your extensions need to be clipped above each layer. On the top layer, add the extensions with 5 clips. This is because this is the widest section of your hair, therefore the widest extensions need to be clipped in here to assure a natural blend. On the second layer add the 4 clip extensions and the final layer the three clips.



Under the final layer you should have a layer of your own hair under your extensions. Take this layer and twist it, then pin it under your extensions so that it is hidden. Release the rest of your natural hair from the elastic bands and use your hands to blend with your extensions.

Another great tip for making your extensions blend with your natural hair is to curl them. Or buy pre-curled extensions like the ones you see here. Curling your hair as well as the extensions gives you a better blend as it creates a more layered look to your hair.

All New 3 Piece Hair Extensions | KoKo Couture

3 piece hair extensions are currently all the rage, which is why here at KoKo we simply couldn't help ourselves but to get some in stock. Three piece extensions can benefit you and your hair for a variety of reasons. The first being, having different sections to the hair allows you to create layers, which gives you a much more natural look & feel. Having three sections to your extensions also gives you more choice when it comes to length too, you can choose to place the lowest weft right at the nape of your neck, or you can choose to place it further up for a shorter look. Personally I adore the glamour that comes with 22" curled extensions that fall right to the bottom of your back!

The extensions come in three wefts. The first is made up of 5 clips, the second is made up of 4 and the third is made up of 3. To put in your extensions, simply part your hair into four rows, placing your extensions in these different sections is going to help you to create the layered affect like you see in the photos, no matter how long or short your hair is.

Place the smallest weft (row of three) in the section closest to the nape of your neck. Take any of your natural hair from underneath this and pin it, hidden away under your extensions. This helps to create a more natural look, as you wouldn't have your shortest layer here with your natural hair.

Take the next weft (row of four) and slide and close the clips above the next layer of hair, make sure this is an inch or more above the first row you clipped in. The gap between the sections can be altered to your preference depending on how far apart you choose to have your layers. I would base the gaps between sections on how short your hair is, for shorter hair, I would choose larger gaps, as this will make your layers appear much more 'choppy', rather than several longer layers and one very short layer on top.

The final weft (row of five) needs to be placed furthest toward the top of your head. Make sure a layer of hair thick enough to hide all your clips is placed over the top. The gap between this section and the section before it needs to be slightly larger (around 2 inches) as this will help to create a more layered and natural look.

Let your hair fall over the top, add a few curls to help blend your hair with the extensions, and there you have it. Beautiful, natural looking, 22" hair.
