I have clip-in extension and I love then, but when I wear them straight it drives me crazy to see where my really hair ends and my extensions begin, when I curl all the hair they blend so good together that u cant see the different layers. Does anyone know of a product that I can use to blend my hair and extension together?

Are you putting the top weft in high up enough in your hair? cos if u dont its always really obvious.
Or is ur natural hair blunt cut? if so then hey wont blend, you might have to get the ends razored a little on top or have the extesions layered so it all blends in

ditto BellaExotica, extensions blend the best on hair that has some layers. Blunt cuts are very difficult to blend. For a temporary fix curls can help 'hide' the blending imperfections.

Yea, my hair was layered before I put these in, and I put them in high enough up on my head. I just didn't want to lose the length by getting them layered. I have really thin, and short hair so I dont put a lot of extensions in so there isn't enough hair to layer them without lose a lot of the length. I just didn't know if there was a product like a hair putty that will helps alittle.

Yes- the flat iron helps me blend the ends of my own hair w/ the extensions if I want to wear them silky straight
 A smoothing serum will help, too. Pureology Shinemax, Citrishine Shine serum, Garnier Nutris Smooth n' Shine. Chi Silk Infusion are some examples...

I always put a bit of smoothing serum on while my hair is wet, and then again after I flat iron it. I don't know if this would be too greasy for people with more "normal" natural hair-- mine is thick and naturally curly so it takes me a lot of work to make it straight and blended... And of course I always want to wear it straight.

Your hairdresser can gently razor the hair and blend it without compromising any length :) She can also show you how to best install them so the wefts won't show.
