1. Half up, half down on colored tapered natural hair.

Even though Jessica’s hair at the back is really short, she was still able to clip the hair in and instantly get long hair within a matter of a few minutes.

YouTuber: Jessica Pettway

Hair Used: Type 3 curly hair clip-ins.

2. Half up, half down with a wet look

In this tutorial, you will notice that she cornrowed the back of her hair before installing the clip-ins. This is a recommended method because your hair stays protected and it’s easier to install and take down your clip-ins that way.

YouTuber: BeautyWithPrincess

Hair Used: Type 4 hair clip-ins.

3. Twist Out With a Side Part on 4a Hair

In this tutorial, she added the clip-ins on loose hair and used Ecostyler gel

YouTuber: She Keels

Hair Used: Type 3 curly hair clip-ins 

4. Top Knot With Half Down on 3c Hair

In this tutorial, the hair was washed and conditioned prior to installation. She also styled on wet hair to be able to get the curly look. You can cornrow your hair for a faster installation.

YouTuber: Tajah Ferjuste

Hair Used: Type 3 curly hair clip ins

5. Twist Out With a Middle Part on 4c Hair

This hair was washed and conditioned prior to install. I recommend washing your hair extensions before installation so that you can get rid of any chemical preservatives that are used to protect the hair.

Another thing that I want to point out is that Christine installed the hair on her loose hair and then twisted her hair with the extensions for a smooth blend. This is a great technique if you’ll be using a hair extension that’s slightly different from your hair and you don’t want to cornrow your hair before installing the clip-ins. 

YouTuber: Christine Gama

Hair Used: Type 4 clip-in hair, with natural 1B hair color can be found here.

YouTuber: Tatenda

Hair Used: Type 4 Clip-in extensions

7. Combed Out Fro on Fine 4b Hair

You will notice that she also combed out the curls and used Ecostyler gel to blend the hair with her hair at the front. While the hair at the back was cornrowed for a faster installation.

Hair Used: Type 4 Kinky Hair Clip-Ins

8. Topknot With Half Down on Short 4b Hair

Because her hair is short, she clipped the hair on her loose hair and used ecostyler gel to pull her hair into a bun at the top and wrapped the hair around her bun to form a top knot.

YouTuber: YunnieRose

Hair Used: Type 4 Kinky Hair Clip-Ins

9. Voluminous Twist Out on a TWA

Because her hair is so short, you will just need to clip the hair on your loose hair. To ensure that your hair blends with the track upfront, you can add bobby pins to stretch your hair and cover up the tracks.

YouTuber: YunnieRose

Hair Used: 4c Kinky hair extensions clip-in

10. Blow Out Hair on Short 4c Hair

These clip-ins are perfect for transitioning hair or when you want to wear a blow out look without actually blowing your hair out. If you have longer hair, it’s best to cornrow the hair at the back and do a light blow out on the hair up front so it can blend with the kinky straight clip-ins.

YouTuber: Jane Nashe

Hair Used: Kinky Straight Hair Clip-In Extensions

11. 4-in-1 Clip-in hairstyles on short 4a hair

You can get your desired look with kinky clip-ins and style it the same way you’ll style your natural hair. Depending on the style you’re going for, you can use one or two packs.

YouTuber: QueenyKaay

Hair Used: Curly hair clip-ins for type 3 hair

12. Afropuff on Tapered 4c Hair

To get a full style, it’s best to clip the hair extensions on your loose hair. For a defined look, you will need an ecostyler gel to define your edges and create a realistic look.
