Gather the Necessary Tools
Product
Clip
Pin
Tip
Practice opening and closing the clips before you begin.
With the clip side of the piece facing you, put both thumbs on each side of the clip and the index fingers at the front sides. Snap the clip open by applying pressure toward yourself with the index fingers. Similarly, close the clip by applying pressure away from yourself with the thumbs.
Separate the hair. Using a tail comb or your index fingers, part the hair horizontally from one side of the head to the other. Starting about an inch above the ears, part the hair around the back of the head just below the crown and to the other ear.
Clip up the hair above the part. Lift up all the hair above the part and clip it out of the way using duck bill clip(s).
Pin up the hair that is below the part. Take the remaining hair and secure in large pin curls so that it lays as flat to the head as possible.
Placement of the first clip. Open all the clips on the piece. The top middle clip (1) should be attached first by placing it at the middle of the back of the head just below the part so that the top of the weft is even with the part when attached. Moving the clip downward, catch your hair in the clip and snap it shut.
Placement of the second and third clips. Attach the left top clip (2) next. Hold down the center clip with your right hand, and use your left hand to move the left edge of the weft as far as it will go around your head. Snap left clip shut. Holding the middle clip with your left hand, now attach the top right clip (3) in the same fashion. Check for gaps by running your fingers along the top weft to make sure it lies flat against your head. If you find a gap, open the clip and reposition.
Placement of the remaining clips. The bottom right clip (4) is next. Pull the hair out of the way and place this clip by stretching the piece down to the bottom edge of the nape and slipping the clip into your hair, making sure the clip securely catches the hair at the end of the nape. Repeat on the left bottom clip (5). Next attach the right side clip (6) behind your ears. Finally, attach the left side clip (7).
Finishing the look. Release all the hair that was clipped out of the way with the duck-bill clip(s) and blend in with Hairdo™ Clip-in Extensions.
Removing the wefts. To remove the piece, snap open all the clips and gently lift up and away from your hair.
Remember
Never try to remove a weft without first opening all the clips. Pulling or tugging to remove a weft can result in damage to your own hair.
Cleaning Synthetic Hair
Tip
Caring for your new hair product is easy, and you should treat your new product as an investment that you want to keep looking new and fresh for as long as possible. The correct care and maintenance will allow you to continue using the product with the best results for the longest amount of time. So, use the following instructions as a gauge for determining how and when you should wash and care for your products. And, know that you can always call 1-800-581-8206 and speak to a licensed cosmetologist for answers to all your questions.
Just like your own hair, synthetic hair will accumulate residue through normal wear. However, you do not need to wash the synthetic hair everyday to keep consistent results. The fiber should be washed as infrequently as possible or when you notice that the fiber appears dull. If you are wearing the hair all day, every day, you can wash them after 4-6 wearings.
Before shampooing, gently remove any tangles or teasing with your fingers or a pick comb. Do not brush.
Add one teaspoonful of any mild shampoo to two quarts cold - never hot - water.
Immerse the hair and soak 3-5 minutes, then gently swish up and down. Do not rub.
Rinse thouroughly twice in cold water.
Dab gently with a towel to remove excess water. Do not squeeze or twist.
While still wet, spray with a leave in conditioner that is specifically formulated for synthetic hair goods.
Dry on a towel at room temperature.
Style with fingers or pick comb. Do not use hair dryer, blow dryer or curling iron. Avoid excess heat. Do not brush or comb while wet.
Care Between Wear
Spray with a light mist of leave-in conditioner (specifically formulated for synthetic fiber) to keep your hair looking fresh and healthy.
Gently remove any tangles using your fingers or pick comb.
A water soluble hair spray may be used for a light hold.
Styling the Hair
Remember
Blow dryers, curling irons and other thermal tools should not be used on synthetic fiber as the heat can melt the fiber.
Because the curl pattern (or lack of a curl pattern) is baked into the fiber, it is not necessary to set your synthetic hair after washing. However, if you wish, wet setting is the safest way to curl your hair.
You may want to have the hair custom cut to achieve your desired style. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CUT IT YOURSELF. Take your product to a salon professional.
Storing the Hair
It is best to store the synthetic hair in it's original container. However, you can store the hair in a plastic bag.
To keep the desired curl pattern, you may want to set the hair on rollers that conform to the curl size you wish to maintain before storing in plastic.
Do not sleep or swim while wearing the synthetic hair.
Author: Lisa I was very excited to get this piece but am dissapointed and have not been able to wear it. The edges of the cap are so thick that it clearly shows where you have attached the peice. I have the easy extend peices and think that they are much easier to wear and look natural. The actual hair in this peice looks really good however- very natural!
Author: Cynthia Monroe I have the 18" and 23" wavy and I love them both. The 18" looks very natural and the cap fits very nicely to allow you to pin all or part of your hair up. The hair is beautiful and silky. I plan to keep buying these and trying the different styles.
I have tried other synthetic hairpieces, and I find the quality of the Jessica Simpson Hair Extensions to be the best I have found!
Author: Natalie M. This length is perfect for me. The 23" is just a bit long for my taste. This is already my second one. I love the curl pattern and it blends perfectly with my natural hair! :-)
Author: Megan Great customer service! In fact, the best customer service of any retail site around. The product arrived quickly! The extensions were reasonably priced and the quality was excellent. Additionally, I did not purchase a color ring and this piece matched my own hair perfectly
Now for the cons, I agree with the other comments regarding the thickness of the cap. If you have thin hair, this is not the product for you. It takes a lot of time (and hairspray) to cover the bulky seams. I teased the roots of my hair until they looked like mini “bird’s nests” and still failed to secure the clips comfortably. The cap is enormous, so if you have a small head, it fits more like a hammock.
I was only able to wear this product once and I was stressed out the whole time. I thought it was going to fall out (very heavy). Also, the seams were so thick; I was insecure about someone noticing. I thought the whole point of hair extensions was to help those of us who are not blessed with thick hair. Oh well, I guess I will continue to be one of the “hair don’ts.” Does anyone with thin hair recommend another product?
Author: Mandy BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS PERFECT!!!!!!! I felt akward at first wearing fake hair but it is sooo gorgeous and I have gotten sooo many compliments....GET IT, you won't regret it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Author: Nicole Alfrey First day I wore the piece all i got were rave reviews!!! Comments ranged from your hair looks amazing to you should do your hair that way all more often and my own husband thought I had gone to the salon! My own husband could not tell!!!! Wow! Wore it as a bridesmaid to a wedding and I looked amazing, no one could tell. Just bought my 3rd & 4th ones. THANK YOU!!! I have thin thin hair. This is FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Author: Laura I love this product! It was even better than I had hoped it would be. I have super-thin hair and this is a dream come true for me. I have always wanted long thick hair and now it's possible.
The best part is that it looks so real -my best friend didn't even know I was wearing fake hair!
I recommend this product to anyone!
Author: Heather Novak Thought the hair was realilistic, it didnt match my hair color at all...
Author: Christie McDonald ABSOLUTELY DIVINE!! fantatsic, beautiful, soft, so realistic, easy to use....wow....and wow again!
Author: Anne S CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME?
I want to buy the 22" relaxed curl extension but i really don't know which color to get, and since i live in europe having the color ring shipped over is just too expensive, and so is ordering the wrong color and having to return it. So, if anyone has the extensions in any of the blonde colors, could you pleeease post a picture? Especially if you have the HONEY GINGER one cause in some pictures that one looks perfect, but it's like the color vary alot from pic to pic. Also if you have GOLDEN WHEAT or BUTTERED TOAST or GINGER BLONDE or SANDY BLONDE. If you don't want your face on the internet you can always paint over it or send it to my e-mail, but i'd really appreciate if someone would help me out:) Thanks!
Author: Jamie I'm wanting to buy this piece, but not sure how long it is exactly. Could someone that has purchased them please tell me? I'd really appreciate it.
Author: Rhonda Worden The hair piece itself is great, the clips however are junk. The upper left clip snapped the 5th day i had it. I will call and see what they will do for me. If they don't do something i will never use this company again and will advise others against it as well thru the salon.
Author: Danielle I purchased this - I have should length hair, I live in south florida and with curly hair it takes me 2 hours to do my hair only to have it last an hour and then look frizzy and horrible. I basically blow out the top part of my hair, leave all the bottom hair alone, clip in my piece and you CANNOT tell I have in extensions. It looks FABULOUS and is one of the best purchases. As for longevity I can't speak because I've only had it a month but it seems like a quality product that will last IF you care for it. I HIGHLY recommend this.
