If you have a short, blunt haircut, you might find it a little challenging to go from short hair to extensions, and blending your human hair extensions seamlessly with the rest of your hair can seem tough. The truth is that adding extensions to short hair is a really easy process so just scroll down for a step by step guide on how to put in hair extensions in short hair.
Before adding extensions in short hair please take into consideration the following:
Now that you found the best hair extensions for very short hair, here are a few basic tips on how to hide extensions in very short hair.
Before you clip in extensions in short hair, we recommend you to first pin the hair from the nape of your neck away. This is a great way to hide the shorter pieces that always seem to pock trough the natural hair clip ins if they remain loose. To do this just section off the lower part of your hair and braid it, then pin it with some bobby pins. This is where you will clip the first human hair extensions weft from your set.
It’s a good idea to style your clip in natural hair extensions before you apply them. If you normally wear a curl, just use a curling iron to give all the human hair wefts a little texture, or if you prefer them straight, use a flat iron to straighten them. If you do this beforehand once applied, each weft will match the style of your natural hair and will blend in faster.
Each person is different so when it comes to weft placement you need to find out what works best for you. Always make sure that the hairpieces for short hair have a secure hold so tease your roots and apply a bit of texture hair spray to keep them intact. Normally, we suggest starting with the 3 clip wefts at the bottom and then move on to the 4 clip weft that usually works best in line with your ears.
Use the smaller hair extensions wefts to add volume to the sides. The key to blending clip in extensions in short hair is to strategically place the wefts so that they look natural and cover as much of your natural short hair as possible with the extensions. This means that the hair extensions for short hair will be placed a bit higher on your head than usual but that is totally fine. As long as you leave enough of your own hair on top to cover the wefts you should be fine. You also need to style all the hair together, so that the blunt ends mix nicely with the longer strands of hair.
If you followed the steps above, you should be able to rock your long hairdo without anyone noticing you are wearing extensions for short hair! When it comes to wearing clip in hair extensions for short hair there are many tricks you can use to get them to look seamless. Here are some of the most common:

ABBY – As always with short hair and bad haircuts, the best way to get seamless blending with the extensions is to apply the thickest ones. That will ensure that the shorter hairs will get lost in the thickness of the extensions and that no one will be able to tell that you’re wearing clip-ins!
