Firstly, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the hair with silicone-free shampoo to remove oil and reduce the impact on the firmness. Please blow your hair in the direction of hair growth to ensure that the roots are upright, which facilitates subsequent fixation.

Then divide the hair into sections. Use a pointed tail comb to draw a horizontal line from the top of the hair to the back of the ear, dividing it into two layers, with the upper layer fixed with a duckbill clip. The lower layer is further divided into two zones from the middle, left and right. Each zone is subdivided into small hair pieces according to the width of "one finger wide", and temporarily fixed with small clips to ensure uniform thickness of each hair piece, facilitating precise alignment during hair extensions.

When using a hair clip, it should be fixed at the base of our hair by 1 to 2 centimeters, from both sides of the lower layer of hair to the middle, and the spacing between each hair clip should be maintained at 2 to 3 centimeters.

To weave hair extensions, take a small strand of your hair and cross-weave it with the extension hair until it reaches 3 to 4 centimeters. Then wrap it with a thin thread and fix it. Each 3 to 4 strands of hair can be connected to a wig, making the distribution more even.

After finishing, you can gently comb your hair to check for any missing or loose connections. If there is a stiff connection, you can slightly pull and adjust the angle of the hair extensions to make the overall hairstyle naturally fluffy.

Loosening is one of the most common issues with short hair extensions, usually caused by poor root attachment or frequent pulling during daily activities. If you're using clip-in extensions, simply clean the loose area, reopen the clip, and secure it closer to the root. For braided extensions that have become loose, carefully snip the original thread with small scissors, then rewrap and tie it using thread in a matching color.
