How Long Keep Clip In Hair Extensions

posted in: Clip In Hair 0

Clip-in hair extensions are easy to use and look great, but how long should you wear them every day?

Clip-in hair extensions have never been more popular. Why wouldn’t you like a product that instantly adds length and volume to your hair? Not to mention they are quick to install and remove.

Whether you’ve just purchased clip-in hair extensions or are considering them, chances are you like them so much that you want to wear them every day, morning to night. Whether or not this is something you should do is something we will discuss in this blog.

Clip-In Hair Extensions: How Long Can You Keep Them In Place?

Apply clip-in hair extensions any time you want to extend the length of your hair or add volume. Can it get you through an 8-hour workday? Of course it can! Can you keep them in place while you’re having dinner with friends at night? Of course you can! Can you sleep with them and not worry about putting them back on the next day? Sadly, no. If you want your extensions to last and if you want to protect your natural hair, your extensions should be removed before you exercise and go to bed.

Clip-In Hair Extensions: How Long Do They Last?

Hair extensions are an investment, especially if you buy quality Russian hair extensions, which are made from the highest quality 100% human hair. Naturally, you want to know how long they will last.

Right off the bat, you should know that synthetic hair extensions won’t last that long. The price may be more attractive, but there is a good chance you will need to replace them sooner. And because they are synthetic, the hair often has a “shiny” appearance that makes them look obviously fake.

Overall, if you take good care of your clip-in hair extensions, they can last up to a year. With heavy use and without proper care, the lifespan will suffer. What many people tend to forget is that even if clip-in hair is not your natural hair, it still needs extra care and attention.

In the case of synthetic clip-in hair extensions, they typically don’t last more than 2-3 months, especially if you’re washing, styling and wearing them frequently.

Tips for Making Your Clip-In Extensions Last

Here are some tips to make sure your hair clips last as long as possible

Take it easy when removing

The gentler you are when removing hair extensions, the better for your natural hair and the clips that hold everything in place. It’s normal for your natural hair to get tangled in the clips, and if you remove the clips too roughly, all the hair will be damaged. If you try to remove the extensions too quickly, you may also end up separating them from the clips, which means you will need to replace the extensions before you wish.

Don’t wash them too often

Since hair extensions are not affected by the natural oils produced by the scalp, you only need to wash them once or twice a month. The type of product you use on your hair extensions is also important. You want to pick products that are free of parabens and sulfates. The fewer chemicals you use, the longer your clip-in hair extensions will last. Don’t forget to use a heat protection spray before styling.

Be gentle when combing

Not only should you be extra gentle when combing your hair extensions, but you should also comb them before and after you wear them. Keeping your hair extensions tangle-free will reduce tangles, which will extend their life. Purchasing a brush specifically designed for hair extensions will ensure that there is no unnecessary pulling while combing. Don’t comb hair extensions when they are wet – dry them first and always store them dry.

Proper storage

Storing clip-in hair extensions properly is another easy way to make them last longer. Once you remove them, close the clips, comb them, and store them on hangers or in a box or bag to keep them safe from dust, mold, and sunlight. Store the bags or boxes in a cool, dry place. You may also want to secure your hair extensions near the area with a soft hair tie before storing them.


By making some slight adjustments to your hair care and extension routine, there’s no reason you can’t enjoy your clip-in extensions for as long as possible.
