Clip In Colored Hair Extensions


I`ve always wanted to dye pink highlights into my hair however my school dosen`t allow dyeing hair what so ever so i recently went out and bought some colored clip in hair extensions so i`m going to show you how to put them in and cover up the clip fully without having the fake hair fall out
*BTW i used synthetic hair extensions because i don`t like the fact of wearing other peoples hair, it`s the same as wearing real leather why would you wear something that is from someone elses body? Also Synthetic is easier to manage with( I have a friend of my parents and she`s been doing extensions professionally for clients for ten years and she said that.)

 These are the extensions that i bought i got them for around 2-3 US dollars (I don`t live in the US unfortunately) They are hot pink and are around 15-16 inches (40 cm)



 These are the clips

First i use a comb and gently comb out all the tangles in the extensions

 
Then part off an inch wide section of hair above where ever you want the highlights to be.


Then put the extensions in right at the roots, try to have the clip grab on to as many hairs as possible.



Once it`s in it should look like this.



Then you can let the hair down and cover it up. It will cover up most of the pink now but we can fix that.



Comb out your hair (Don`t comb the roots!) and play with it until you get the desired look. Then Voila! you have pink highlights!
















You can also braid it, it will add a nice pop of color into your braid. I normally like to divide the pink hair into at least to of the strands in the 3 stranded braid to make it more spread out.







 You can also achieve highlights by using chalk, simply just wet your hair and use the chalk to color your hair.(Don`t over wet) Or if you have some cheap or old eye-shadows  you can press your hair against the pressed powder shadow and slide it to the ends while pressing against the hair. You can easily brush or comb the color out or just simply wash your hair, they won`t damage your hair as the pigment is only sitting on the out side of your hair. However hair chalk may not let you achieve a bright color if you have dark hair.
 
Have fun temporarily highlighting your hair and let me know if you try the above methods:)
