Im having trouble with my clip in extension. My hair is very fine on the sides and the clips slip out. I tried back combing a section and spraying with hairspray but they still slip and they hurt so I know Im not wearing them right.

Those of you that love clip ins, do you have any other suggestions?
 
Thanks
 
Em

Emma, Im in the same boat, I have very thin hair on the sides and everytime Ive ever tried to wear clip ins on the sides they slip, pull and hurt!

try taking a small section, back combing it, then put the clip in the teased part, that should anchor it to stay.

I have super thin and fine hair and I wear clip ins.  I make my parting and spray lightly with Aqua net. Then I tease all along the part line with a fine tooth comb.  I spray Aqua net again, and then hit it with the blow dryer to harden the whole hair spray teased  area.  That usually makes a nice firm base in which to clip in.
 
Sometimes it hurts on the sides.  I just re-tease, re-spray, and reposition the clip.

I have fine/thin hair, too.  For me, the type of clips makes a difference in pulling.  I ordered mine from http://www.yourhairshop.com - www.yourhairshop.com  .  I've been using the same clips for a year or so.  I believe http://www.shrinkies.net - www.shrinkies.net sells the good ones, too(looks that way from the pic on the site).  I use large.

I spray my part w/ Aerogel but I don't tease.
 
Other types of clips I've used (they look a lil different) have slipped and pulled but not the 'good' ones...
 
My hair is naturally curly-maybe that is why I don't have to tease...?

I have to agree with lucky chick. The clips make a big difference. I haven't tried the ones from yourhairshop but now I want to. I get the small ones from a local store. Some days they do annoy me quite honestly and I'm readjusting all day and swearing at them the whole time but they never ever slip, ever. I've had clips that do slip. These won't budge. I also don't tease/spray. Maybe that would help with comfort?

Have you tried extra rows with thinner wefts? Sometimes the weight of the extensions will make them slip. I used to wear the locking (good clips) A couple of times my hair would get pulled by my shoulder bag type purse and it would yank my hair out at the roots. I wear a sew in weave now.

Oh, good point, mokipono.  Thinner wefts, more rows.
I currently wear 5 or 6 rows of hand tied wefts (folded) instead of 3 rows of doubled machine wefts.  The doubled machine wefts were a lot heavier.
