"Oh, this color matches very well -- very, very well. Hi. Welcome. We're showing our client today how to use hair extensions to improve the way her hair looks. Now, what we're going to show you today is clip-ins. My name is Sylvia Russell, and this is how you can use clip-in hair extensions. Now, clip-in hair extensions have these little clip combs on them. And most of the time, you can buy a piece with the actual clip comb on it already or you can create your own. You can find these little clip combs at your local beauty supply store. You can buy your hair in the desired color, sew the clip comb on, and voila. You've just made your own clip-in hair extensions. So what you're going to want to do is you're going to want to part the hair like so, lift it up and out of the way. Once you've created your hair clip-on, you simply take the clip-in comb -- this comb piece here -- and drive it down into the hair like so and clip it. And there you have it. It will stay in nice and easy. If you have very fine hair like our model here, what you can do is you can simply back-comb a little bit to add some security, make a little puff there. Take your clip-in, and then clip it in like so and snap it into place. And you'll get a tighter secure fit. As you can see, it's very close to the base line. And once you've done that, you simply bring your hair over top. No one can tell you have hair extensions, and voila. Beautiful, textured, different color, highlights, lowlights, whatever you choose. Hair extensions can be fun and easy. My name is Sylvia Russell, and this is how you can apply clip-in hair extensions."
