Everything You Need to Know About Clip-In Hair Extensions | BRUSH Amsterdam
Looking for instant volume, length, or a styling boost without a long-term commitment? Clip-in extensions are the ultimate go-to solution. At BRUSH Amsterdam, we work exclusively with premium 100% Remy human hair clip-in extensions that blend naturally and feel weightless — perfect for elevating your look whenever you want.
What Are Clip-In Extensions?
Clip-in extensions are temporary hairpieces that attach securely to your natural hair using discreet pressure-sensitive clips. They’re ideal for adding fullness, creating updos, or experimenting with color and length — all without altering your natural hair.
Why Choose Clip-Ins?
- ✅ No damage — no glue, heat, or chemicals
- ✅ Install in minutes and remove at night
- ✅ Style just like your own hair: curl, straighten, or braid
- ✅ Perfect for events, photoshoots, or daily glam
Which Clip-In Extensions Are the Best?
The best clip-in extensions are made from 100% real human hair, preferably Remy hair, where the cuticle is kept intact and aligned to prevent tangling and ensure a natural look. Brands such as Balmain Hair and MLY Hairextensions are known for their premium quality clip-ins.
For clients with fine hair, invisible wefts or lightweight microring clip-ins offer a better fit. They lie flatter to the scalp, blend easily, and reduce tension on delicate strands.
- 100% Remy hair: Long-lasting, natural feel and appearance
- High-quality brands: Better durability and blendability
- Lightweight options: Ideal for fine or thin hair
What Hairstyle Works Best with Clip-Ins?
Clip-ins blend best in hair that's shoulder-length or longer. Layered hairstyles are especially extension-friendly, allowing the added hair to cascade naturally. If your hair is blunt-cut or short, our stylists can soften the ends or add strategic layering for a better transition.
Can I Wear My Hair Up with Clip-In Extensions?
Absolutely. High ponytails, low buns, and half-up styles are all possible with clip-ins when placed correctly. Our BRUSH stylists can show you how to section your hair and hide clips for a seamless updo — especially with invisible clip wefts.
Is It Bad to Wear Clip-Ins Every Day?
Clip-ins are designed for temporary wear. While occasional daily use is fine, we recommend giving your scalp and roots a break to avoid tension or stress. Always remove them before bed, avoid tight placement, and follow a nourishing care routine to maintain hair health. For daily wear, tape-in extensions may be a better low-maintenance option.
How to Apply Clip-In Extensions
- Brush your natural hair and section horizontally.
- Gently tease the root for extra grip.
- Snap in the clips securely near the root — always on dry hair.
- Layer and blend for a natural finish.
How Long Do Clip-In Extensions Last?
With proper care, clip-ins can last over 1 year or more. Since they’re not worn daily, they experience less wear than permanent methods like tape-ins.
How to Care for Your Clip-Ins
- Use sulfate-free shampoo like Color WOW Color Security
- Hydrate weekly with PURE Hair Colour Angel Mask or Brazilian Blowout Deep Conditioning Masque
- Brush with a MANE MAVEN ZigZag Brush before and after use
- Air dry — never blow dry your extensions directly
