Clip-In Hair Extensions for Short Hair

The best option for short or blunt hair:

The Luxe Clip-Ins

  • Extra densityย helps disguise the transition between your natural hair and the extensions

  • Fuller wefts help cover blunt edges

  • Ideal for bobs or lobs

If your hair is very short (chin-length or above), a stylist may recommend shaping the ends of your natural hair for a softer blend.

How to Choose Clip-In Hair Extensions That Match Your Hair Colour

A perfect colour match is key to a seamless blend. Hereโ€™s how to get it right:

1. Compare in natural daylight

Indoor lighting can distort tones. Always check swatches or your natural hair in the daylight.

2. Match to the ends - not the roots

Your mid-lengths and ends determine the visible blend.

3. Ask an expert (free)

Send us photos - front, back and sides in natural light and our team will recommend your best-matched shade instantly.

4. Consider multi-tonal shades

Hair Rehab London clip-ins feature multi-dimensional tones so they blend beautifully with natural colour, highlights, balayage, and lowlights.

How to Apply Clip-In Hair Extensions (For Beginners) โ€“ Step-By-Step

Whether youโ€™ve never worn clip-ins before or just want a refresher, follow this easy beginner-friendly guide.

Step 1: Prep the hair

Brush through your natural hair and create a clean, smooth base. Applying a little texture spray or hairspray helps the clips grip better.

Step 2: Section your hair

Start at the nape of your neck. Create a horizontal parting and clip the rest of your hair up.

Step 3: Apply the first weft

Snap open the clips, position the weft against your scalp, and secure from the centre outward.

Step 4: Work your way upward

Continue sectioning horizontally and applying larger wefts first, then smaller ones toward the crown and sides.

Step 5: Blend

Brush lightly to merge your natural hair with the extensions. Curling or waving your hair helps everything blend even more seamlessly.

Step 6: Style as desired

Because Hair Rehab London extensions are 100% human hair, you can curl, straighten, blow-dry and style them just like your own.
