8 Ways To Blend Extensions With Short Hair

Everyone has had the experience of wanting to change their style and then having hair regret the next day. Unlike a breakup, short hair isn't permanent.

Unlike a breakup, we advise going for it when your history comes knocking!

So what?                            

The answer is Clip in Hair Extensions, which allow you to have short and long hair without any commitment or damage to your hair.

How to integrate short hair extensions

Pia Muehlenbeck, one of our favorite travel and lifestyle YouTubers, has lent her expertise on how to clip in and mix hair extensions with short hair (even a lob).  In between photos, Pia's hair length changes from short to long, which is part of her famed lob (long bob).  Pia has mastered combining hair extensions with her short hair using hair extensions.

1. USE A DEEP-SET

Pia combines two sets of distinct hues with her natural hair. She layers wefts from the 220g Ombre Chestnut and 220g Ombre Blonde Sets to produce a blended appearance. If you're using a single set, go for our heaviest 220g set because you'll need more hair to move from shorter to longer pieces seamlessly. Before clipping in your extensions, brush your hair out with a Loop Hair Extensions Brush.

2. PIN AWAY YOUR HAIR BOTTOM SECTION

This is a terrific hack for integrating hair extensions with short hair around the nape of your neck. Clip the rest of your hair away, leaving only a little section at the bottom. Twist or braid the remaining section, then pin it flat on the nape of your next. Clip-in your first weft of extensions here.

3. COLOR MIXING FOR DIMENSION

Pia has 220g Ombre Chestnut and 220g Ombre Blonde Luxy Hair extensions. To mix hair extensions with short hair and hair with highlights or multi-tones, Pia created these sets. Using two colors adds volume and depth to the hair. Adding color with balayage hair extensions is another option. Use two colors and clip the extensions alternately to obtain a smooth mix.

A perk?

This gives you natural appearing sun-kissed highlights without any sun exposure!

4. TEASE ROOTS FOR MORE GRIP

You may need more hold at the roots if you have fine hair. Tease your natural hair by backcombing the strands.

5 - RISE ABOVE ORDINARY

Remember that when clipping in your short hair extensions, you want to cover as much of your natural short hair as possible. This implies your extensions will be higher on your head, which is great. Clip-in the rest of your hair extensions until you reach the crown.

6 - MAKE A LONG MEGA-WEFT FOR SHORT LAYERS.

Clip-in two 3-clip wefts side by side at the broadest point of your head, which will be your brows. They will be laid side by side, with a tiny overlap at the rear. In Pia's tutorial, she produces one huge mega-weft covering all her shorter layers. Clip-in your last four clip wefts in the same way. This will secure the other wefts in your hair and create one unified weft.

7. FACE-FRAME THE FRONT

Pia shortened both of her 3-clip wefts in front of her face. Face framing layers merge more organically into shorter layers. Because Luxy Hair extensions comprise 100% Remy human hair, they can be cut and styled like natural hair. Still, we recommend taking them to a professional stylist!

Finish by clipping in your clip wefts wherever you need more volume or length. Place the dark ones first, then the lighters closer to your face.
