A clip-in fringe is a commitment-free approach that lets you get realistic, naturally looking bands without the regret of cutting your natural hair. Clip-in bangs are adaptable, so whether you want side clip-in bangs, full blunt bangs or clip-in curtain bangs, you can explore the Cliphair fringe guide to make your style easier and adaptable within seconds.
If bangs are your favourite, you’ll need to learn how to choose fringe styles that suit your face. But remember, a proper blending and trimming can provide you with a realistic finish.
First, let’s understand the different face shapes to apply your clip in fringe appropriately.
- If your face is oval, you are fortunate enough to apply any fringe style you like. However, if you are looking for an understated style, try soft side-swept bangs. For a more statement look, choose a full blunt fringe.
- For people with rounder faces, wispy and curtain bangs are more suitable; they will lengthen your face, drawing less attention to the roundness. Do not go for the thick, straight-across fringe.
- Feather clip-ins or side-swept bangs look beautiful on square faces, softening their sharp features.
- Your heart-shaped face needs a proper balance for your forehead; therefore, choose long wispy bangs or curtain bangs.
- A straight-across, fuller fringe helps balance the face and make it look shorter if you have a longer, more oval-shaped face.
How to Apply Clip-In Fringe
Applying a clip-in fringe is simple. You can begin the process by trimming the bangs to ideally match your face type and style, which usually needs your hairstylist’s direction. You can then prepare your hair by detangling your bangs and parting them down the middle, and pinning them back. Secure your bangs with larger clips in your hairline and tighten the small clips towards your crown. Gently blend the bangs, brush your natural hair and safely shake your head. Finally, style your bangs however you like, and you are good to go!
Styling Your Fringe
When styling your clip-in fringe, treat it as if it’s truly natural hair once you have clipped it in. You can blow-dry with a round brush to add volume and movement. Use low to medium heat for smoothing, then finish with a light texturising spray for a natural look. For a more cohesive look, curl the front pieces of your hair, including the bangs. When styling hair up, hide visible clip edges beneath natural strands, and use accessories like headbands or scarves for a more aesthetic effect.
Colour Matching
For the fringe colour match, you need to first define your natural hair colour by assessing it in natural light to ensure a base colour identification. Then identify your hair’s undertones, such as warm, cool, or neutral. It’s more useful to match the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, which are usually lighter, rather than just the roots. Utilise colour samples or colour rings for a direct comparison against your hair, and check the match under various lighting conditions. Consider multi-tone options for a more natural effect, and if uncertain between shades, opt for the lighter colour. Remember that hair clip-ins can be toned or dyed darker, but lightening them may cause damage.
Care and Maintenance
All kinds of clip in hair extensions deserve proper care and maintenance for the sake of their look, feel, and longevity. Therefore, for clip-in fringe care, it is recommended to use mild shampoo if it turns oily, or if you use products like textured sprays or dry shampoo. Use a heat protectant spray before styling and always opt for a low heat setting when blow-drying or adding a few bends to match your natural texture. This will keep the hair as safe as your own strands.
Conclusion
To sum up, clip-in bangs are a flexible, cost-effective alternative to your haircut. They can improve your appearance in a matter of seconds, no chop required! Clip-in bangs can be a fun and fashionable addition to your hair routine, whether you want to try a new haircut for a special event or add some flair to your everyday look. Your hair, your rules!
