Short hair is cute, fun, and sexy, but sometimes you may want to try something new. You can use extensions to temporarily add length, make your hair look fuller, or try out different colors.
There are different kinds of extensions, but clip-in extensions are the best. This is because they look better with short hair and can be done at home.
Choose the right ones for you, put them in, and then style them the way you want.

HOW TO WEAR SHORT HAIR EXTENSIONS
CLEAN YOUR HAIR
Make sure your hair is clean before you put on your hair extension. Wash and condition it to get rid of any dust or dirt that might be on it. Always remember that working with clean hair is easier than working with oily hair. With the second one, it might be hard to attach the short hair extensions.
TIE THE TOP HALF OF YOUR NATURAL HAIR
To work quickly and easily on your hair extensions, you must keep the top half in place. When you tie the top half of your hair, it’s easy to get to the middle and bottom parts, where the hair extensions can be clipped or glued on.
If you attach the short hair extensions to the inner half of your hair, they will look like they were always there.
TRIM THE ENDS OF THE HAIR EXTENSIONS
This tip is only needed if your short hair extensions look too blunt and unnatural. Cut off the end piece to make it look more natural. You can seek the help of someone else to do it for you or go to the nearest salon if you feel uncomfortable.
USE A SHINE SERUM ON YOUR HAIR EXTENSION
With hair shine serum, your short hair extensions will look more like your own hair. If your hair is a little less shiny than the hair extension, you can put the serum on it. Or, if your natural hair is shiny, you can use the serum to make your hair extensions shine like your natural hair.
GIVE YOUR HAIR SOME STYLE
Styling it is another way to make sure the hair extension goes well with your natural hair. If your hair is curly, curl the hair extension a little more so that it matches your curl. You can also iron your hair and the hair extension together to make them look straight and uniform.
HOW TO MAINTAIN SHORT HAIR EXTENSIONS
Hair extensions are only stuck to the hair itself, not to the hair roots or the scalp. So, your short hair extensions should look like your own hair. To do this, you will need the following:
DRY SHAMPOO
The dry shampoo will help get the oil out of your hair and hair extension so that the tape will stick and the extension won’t slide.
EXTENSION BRUSH
You can use a regular brush, but we recommend getting or using an extension brush. Brushes made for hair extensions are called “extension brushes.” It can get your hair out of tangles without hurting your natural hair or short hair extensions.
SULFATE-FREE SHAMPOO
Sulfate-free shampoos get a lot of attention in the hair care industry as one of the best ways to clean hair because they have cleaning properties that other shampoos don’t have. These things keep the quality and shine of your hair and hair extensions.
CONDITIONER
If you swim a lot, a good conditioner can also help keep your hair extensions in good shape. It gives your hair and short hair extensions more protection so they don’t get damaged, break, or get too dry.
Conclusion
Short hair extensions work the same way as normal-length ones. But because they are attached to shorter hair, these types of extensions may require more hair care.
We hope you learnt how to wear the short hair extensions correctly and take care of them.
