So hair extensions are such an amazing way to add volume and length to anyone who has thin hair, and did you know that this is the number one ask question about hair extensions on Google and with me personally I have thin hair, but I have a lot Of it, so I do struggle with the same problem, because I find I get a lot of breakage, but in the last year, or so, I've really found that utilizing. These tips has really helped to minimize the damage in my hair, especially because I do wear hair extensions almost every day. So today I want to help you navigate the process on finding the perfect extensions for your fine or thin hair, and the first part of this video is going to be some tips and tricks on how to choose the right set of extensions for your hair and Then the last half of this video is going to be a tutorial and demonstration on how to clip extensions into fine and thin hair. So, first off with thin and fine hair, the biggest issues that can arise while purchasing a set of hair extensions are the following. Two things a sometimes the extensions can be way too heavy for the person's hair. What can happen is they can put too much stress on your natural hair and actually cause your hair to break, which is what we don't want to have happen, and the second biggest thing that can happen is the weft can actually show through your hair, quite prominently. So I'm going to give you some tips and tricks on what you can do to avoid these two things from happening. Now, it's totally up to you. What you want to get these are just recommendations as to what would be a really good suitable match for Center hair. So, first off the most popular thing to do at the moment is to do tape. In extension, what you do is you tape them in to your natural hair, and you can tape them up as far towards the scalp as you want. It can really help to add volume up here and length as well and the other part about patient's. That'S so great is you can put in as many tape ins as you want, or just put in a few tape ins to add a little bit of length to your thinner, hair and they're so light that they don't pull down on your natural hair. Each west of the tape ins is only about this big. It'S only about an inch wide, so you're only getting a little bit of hair pulling on your natural hair, so it won't cause damage, and this is really great too, if you're trying to grow out your hair tations are a really really good solution and the next Thing is, if you want to buy clipping. This is my suggestion for the best match for you now, if you have very, very thin hair, I highly recommend going with the 125 gram, Bombay baby hair extensions, so it's not going to pull on your natural hair and it won't break off your natural hair or Anything like that you're getting a little bit left hair in this pack, but it'll probably end up looking the most natural, instant or fine hair. Just keep in mind that if you have brittle hair, if your hair breaks easily, I would go with the lower gram set of hair extensions. Now, if you have been in fine hair and your hair can totally handle a sicker set of extensions, this is a huge tip that I have for you on how to make sure the extensions aren't going to weigh too heavy on your hair. When I received my tamanna hair extensions, these were 270 grams. So what I did I got my hairdresser to do a technique called feathering at the end of my extension, which is a technique where you remove the bulkiness in the hair extensions. If it's too heavy for your hair technique would be really great and that way when you clip in the full set of extensions, there's not a lot of weight pulling down on your thin hair. So that's another strategy that you can use, so you can get the bigger sets of extensions, but it just removes some of the weight. So next up, I'm going to do a quick tutorial on how I clip my extensions into my sinner hair. This strategy will help hide the clip, and this is also going to help relieve some of the pulling on your natural hair, so nothing breaks off. So on that note, let's get started guys. So the first thing that I recommend is using a volumizing powder. What'S so important about the volume is getting your natural hair to match the volume happening in your extension. So this is a really important part of helping out anyone with thin hair. So I'm just going to go ahead and add some volumizing powder and what I'm doing is adding it in sections. So you can just take like small sections of your hair and add the powder to it or you can just add it to the top. Whatever you're comfortable with so you see already how volumize my hair is just adding that little bit of powder look at that and what it does is it actually stays up on its own. I look crazy, but it works really really well. So next what you want to do is backcomb the top section of your hair right here. I'M going to show you where about right here. So just stick your comb in and section out that piece of hair. So what I'm going to do to backcomb is take my comb and push the hair back like this. So just go underneath this section of hair and pull it down I'll show ya. Now I'm just going to take the section just underneath and backcomb that as well. You see that so now we're adding volume back here, so it matches the hair falling down here and then I'm going to do that on the side of my head as well. Okay, now I'm going to do the other side. Now we're going to be doing more of this in a moment when we clip in the hair, extensions and I'll show you in just a second. But for now that looks good because we just want to kind of do the top of the hair first, because once the extensions are in sometimes it can be a little bit tricky to section out your hair. So I like to do this before and then I'll repeat some of the steps, as I'm clipping in the extensions. So let's start clipping in the extension. So we also have a how to clip in extensions hair tutorial on the Bombay hair channel, and we have the how to clip extensions into short hair tutorial as well, so both of those are linked down below. So you can follow along with those tutorials as well. After watching this video all right, so I'm just sectioning off hair and I'm just going to leave the bottom bit here. And the bottom part is my first section of hair that I'm going to be working with. So I'm just going to take a little bit of powder just on this bottom section of hair and then I'm going to backcomb. So now I'm going to take a two piece of hair and clip that into the bottom and I'm just going to keep doing this process. Then I'm going to pause and talk about the really important techniques to use as you're getting closer to the top of your head. So I'm just going to do the bottom bit and I'll be right back all right. So I have three rows of extensions in right. Now and what I'm going to do, I want to show you how I hide my extensions in my thinner hair I like to clip my extensions a little bit lower in my hair, so I won't clip them up here, just so that you have a good chunk Of hair up here to really hide those extensions, so I'm just going to clip these down a little bit lower. So I I know that they're going to be hidden so what's great about the back combing. Is it's actually assisting your hair with really holding in the extensions? Well so that it doesn't slip out of your thin hair? Because I find having thin hair that my extensions will sometimes slip out a little bit more easily than people that have thicker hair? And you can just see the clip will go in I'll. Show you I'll even pull on it and show you I'm pulling really hard right now and it's not moving. So that's what you want with thinner hair. You want to make sure that your back combing and using the volumizing powder, especially because that will just enhance your back combing even better, so I'm going to just go on to the other side. So you see how the hair blends and you can't see the clips and then for thin hair. This is the biggest trick. So what I like to do is take the 3 clip extensions. Remember this part that we back combed. This is where I want to put into the triple piece right here: alright, so I'm going to put this in so we are concealing the West, while adding volume and ensuring that that volume is going to stay up all day, because we have that West of hair Holding this part up, alright, so there's my volume adding that little bit of volume helps everything, look really balanced in the extension. So next I'm just going to quickly crow. My hair with my ever rose gold, clamp curling wand and that will add some volume again and it will also help blend my natural hair into my extension. So I'm just going to do that and I'll be right back alright guys. So I just curled my hair. Oh I'm so obsessed with this one. I use this wand all the time and it just gives those like beautiful little like babydoll curls. You know what I mean, so this is the next step in adding that volume to match the top of the hair that we did earlier. So what I'm going to do is take my bombay, hair brush and just brush through the ends of my hair, and this is going to blend the extensions into my natural hair and create some additional volume on the bottom without adding any weight to it. Do you know what I mean remember what I was talking about earlier and you see it looks nice and full at the bottom now and you can see that there is no clip showing up here completely clear and in the back it's all nicely covers and if You want to just bring your hair up again, just stick a comb in this little part here and just pull it up nice and gently, and that way you can add a little bit more volume if you want as well alright guys so there's the finished, look And you can see that my hair is nice and volumize on the bottom and on the top it really looks like I have the hair right now and I'd say. If I didn't know myself, I would think that this was my natural hair. I hope you guys enjoyed this video make sure to subscribe to the Bombay hair channel.
