How to Blend Hair Extensions With Short Hair

Comb natural hair thoroughly to remove any tangles. Section the hair, so that only a small slice of the base layer at the back of the head is free. Back comb this section and twist up so it lies flat at the nape of the neck and pin into place. This will be where the first layer of hair extensions will be clipped in. Clip in a wide section of hair extension into the pinned section of hair. (Top Tip: If you have an ombre or balayage style, to get a good blend, start with a darker extension and layer dark and light alternatively. Release another layer of natural hair over the first layer of extensions. Tease the natural hair at the roots to give the clip in extension some extra grip. Continue to layer in the extensions with your natural hair. (Top Tip: If you prefer to have layers that frame your face, tri two extensions to give the desired effect and always clip these ones in just above the ear. When adding clip in extensions to short hair, you will need to take the extensions high up on the head, otherwise, the short hair will not blend properly, creating a disjointed effect. The smaller single clip or double clip extensions are used at the front of the hair and the longer 3 and 4 clip extensions go at the sides and the back where there is more natural hair to conceal them. Style the final layer of natural hair at the crown over the extensions so that they are concealed. To keep this natural hair in place all day, tease the roots with a comb and spray with a little hairspray. If you are wearing your extensions straight, run over your natural hair and the clip in extensions together. If you are wearing your hair wavy or curly, curl all of the hair together. This will help the extensions to blend into your natural hair seamlessly. Voila!
