Clip In Hair Extensions Repair and Tips
Clip in hair extensions are very durable! However they are by no means indestructable!
If a clip on a set of clip in hair extensions were to snap or come loose, replacing the clips is fairly easy, but not so easy to describe.
When re-attaching a clip to a set of clip in hair extensions, the thread needs to be durable and doubled before proceding. Each end of the clip has thread holes specifically for the weaving thread.
Another note to take into account is that the clip is the right way round. The correct way the hair extension clip should be facing is with the prongs facing towards you and the silicone protected strip facing towards the hair extensions.
With the thread through one of the specified holes, the clip can be securely attached by sewing the the weft of your hair extensions. This process can then be repeated for the hole on the other side of the clip.

Looking after your clip in hair extensions is very important as the hair itself requires some tender loving care. Clip In hair extension aftercare involves using the right hair extension products such as hair extension shampoo, hair extension conditioner and hair extension leave in treatments.
Another tip is to avoid chemicals such as chlorine from swimming pools, as these chemicals are notorious for wrecking your hair extensions. As the hair on clip in hair extensions has been treated with a protective silicone, the chlorine would dissolve this silicone exposing the hairs' natural cuticle which is alway damaged with hair extensions.
Human hair of clip in hair extensions are usually sourced from India, which goes through a process called an "acid bath". This acid bath process strips the hair of its natural colour and damages the cutical through the process.

This applies to ALL hair extensions, dont fall into the trap of thinking your hair extensions are indestructable just because they are labelled as Remy, a term often misused by the hair extensions industry for selling their non remy products. Here is some information on Remy Hair
