Hi All,
 
I have purchased some clip in extensions and I'm really pleased with them, so much so, that I'm wearing them every day.
 
My question is, as I'm due to go on holiday soon, I'd love to wear them even as I'm travelling, so would the airport metal detector detect that I had metal clips in my hair? I wouldn't want to be singled out for a search in front of the other travellers! Embarrassed
 
If the detectors do detect the clips, I'd rather pack my extensions away in my case and 'fix' my hair when I reach the hotel.
 
Thanks for any help you can give.
 
Dee

Nowadays, it might be better to pack them away if you don't want it happening. But I think I wore mine before, and it's like the metal on your pants, or zippers on your shirt. So I don't think it will set off anything. I think it's too small to detect though...Someone else might know more though...

I also didn't have a problem wearing them through security.
I've done it a few times now.

I've gone through airport security with microrings, shells and clips-ins and never had them detected. Not sure if that's really a good or bad thing during these times.

my mind often wanders, so i found this explaining why the zippers on your clothes dont set off the metal detector....i am assuming it applies also to your metal eyeglasses/hair clips/microrings etc, the 'density of the metal':

I've flown a few times with my clip ins without a problem.  I've had several clients fly with microrings also without a problem.

i have always wondered this esp with the micro rings. i always thought it would set them off! i just always pictured myself going through it going off the the guards ripping through my hair looking at me all funny! its good to know that is ok to pass throuh.. so no one has had any problems right?
