Selecting the Ideal Hair Extensions

Texture and Color Harmony

The journey to perfect extensions begins with finding the right texture and color. It's crucial to pick extensions that complement your natural strands, creating a harmonious blend. At Atelier, we offer a diverse palette of shades and textures, ensuring you find the perfect match to enhance your unique style.

The Importance of Quality

Quality is paramount. Our 100% premium human hair extensions are crafted to provide both elegance and longevity. With high-quality extensions, you not only uplift your look but also gain the adaptability to handle them as your own hair, leading to a myriad of styling choices.

Balancing Length and Comfort

Selecting the appropriate length and weight of your extensions is essential for achieving a natural and comfortable look. Our range includes various lengths, all meticulously double-drawn for a balanced, lightweight feel. Remember, it’s easier to trim clip in hair extension tips that are too long than to work with ones that are too short. A good rule of thumb is to choose a length that is close to your natural strands or not more than 6 inches longer. A larger gap in length can make the task of blending them smoothly more complex.

Clips or Sew-Ons

Your choice of attachment method can greatly influence your experience with hair extensions. Our clip-in and volume extensions are ideal for those who value flexibility and ease, suitable for daily changes or special occasions. For a more enduring style, sew-on options are also available. Each method offers its own benefits, catering to different needs and preferences.

Mastering the Application of Extensions

Applying extensions may seem daunting at first, but with a bit of practice, it becomes a simple and rewarding process. Proper application is key to achieving a natural and comfortable look. 

But for now, here are some straightforward and effective hair extension clip in tips to keep in mind:

• Prepare Your Natural strands: Ensure your hair is clean, dry, and free of tangles. This step is essential for a smooth application.
  
  
• Section Your Hair: Start by dividing your hair into manageable sections, and begin at the bottom for better control
  
  
• Place Extensions Strategically: Attach the clips close to the roots but ensure they are comfortable. Proper placement is crucial for a natural look. For those looking to add volume, our extra volume hair extensions are an excellent choice
