Just installed my clip ins today. yippie!!!
 I have a question that I thought some of you could help me with. What do you do about windy days? I have fine hair and at the crown it's a little thin (that's why I clipped my hair back). I'm worried when it's windy the wefts will show. Is there any cheap tape that I can use to tape a little of my hair on top of the weft on a daily basis? This isn't a great picture as the hair looks choppy on the right side and it's usually not. Any help or advice is appreciated!! |

I wear clipins all the time... I don't know about the tape ...that may work, too, but I usually tease up my hair in the spot where the clip is snapped in, then I tease again over the top of the clip and use a little hair spray. I live in the windiest place on earth and, even eith my very fine hair, The clips never show. Hope that helps. ------------- Early years are learning years, make them count! |

I wear them all the time and have NO problem even on windy days. I do not apply them high up on the crown, because my own hair is as long as the extensions. I do a track toward the the bottom of my hair line and then one right about ear level, but they are anchored in because I tease where I make my part then put some spritz- I use tre semme( sp??) spritz . Then I blow dry it where I sprayed it. It creates a strong and solid base for the clip. There is a good tutorial on the board about how to put them in. I think Metalgirl posted it a long time ago.
Good luck. Your pic looks great. I also posted pics on another tread about getting highlights. Have a look and give me your opinion if you have time.
Happyholidays.

Hi all-
Thanks you so much for the advice. I'm in Dallas and it's always windy here. hehe I'll try to tease the hair more as my clipins have been slipping quite a bit - when I blow my hair straight it makes my hair super slick.
Thanks Again!!!
