With our advice, all hair types can achieve an undetectable finish that can enhance your length, volume and colour. 

UNDERSTANDING HAIR EXTENSIONS 

Before we breakdown our blending techniques, it’s important to differentiate between the different types of hair extensions available at MeibyChic. Each type offers unique benefits and requires specific application for a seamless blend. Selecting the right kind of extension to suit your hair type is the first step to ensuring a natural look. if you're looking for a temporary hair solution, then our Clip-in Extensions are perfect for an instant hair upgrade. If you're after a semi-permanent solution then choose from one of our various Profesional Extensions methods. 

UNDERSTANDING YOUR HAIR THICKNESS & DENSITY 

Another factor to consider when blending hair extensions with your natural hair is your natural hair thickness & density. This is basically determining whether you have fine, medium or thick hair and how much hair you have. This is important because, for a natural blend, we generally advise to match the thickness / weight of your hair extensions with the weight of your natural hair.  Top Tip: To determine your hair thickness, take a single strand of your hair between your fingers, if you can barely feel the strand then you're likely to have thin hair, if you can feel the strand but it doesn't feel rough / coarse, you're likely to have medium hair and if the strand feels coarse then you're likely to have thick hair. 

CHOOSING THE RIGHT COLOUR 

Choosing hair extensions that match your hair colour is essential for a seamless blend. That’s why hair stylists love using MeibyChic hair extensions for their client hair transformations, as we offer over 40 colours of hair extensions, so there is truly a shade to match every hair colour.

BLENDING TECHNIQUES FOR CLIP-IN EXTENSIONS 

Layering: Consider having a professional stylist layer your hair or cut and customise the clip-in extensions to suit your natural hair cut for a more natural transition. 
Curling or Straightening: When blending clip-in extensions, styling your hair and the extensions together helps to merge the two textures seamlessly, making it difficult to tell where your natural hair ends, and the extensions begin. 
Proper Placement: Place clip-in extensions strategically around the head, ensuring they blend with the natural layers of your hair. Avoid attaching extensions too close to the hairline or parting, as they may be more visible. 

TIPS FOR SHORT BLUNT HAIR 

Use More Wefts: Short, blunt haircuts may require more extension wefts to create a seamless blend. Using additional weft pieces can ensure full coverage and volume. 
Focus on the Underlayers: Placing extensions on the lower layers of your hair can help disguise the blunt ends and create a more gradual length transition. 
Consult a Professional: For those new to extensions or with short, blunt haircuts, consulting with a professional stylist can provide tailored advice and application techniques.
