Hair Extensions Advice: The Complete Beginner’s Guide

Original Diva’s 100 % Remy human hair extensions give you instant length, volume, and salon-quality colour without compromising your natural hair. Follow this expert guide to choose, install, and maintain clip-in hair extensions that look and feel flawless.


Why Choose Remy Human Hair Extensions?

  • True-to-life appearance: Cuticles remain aligned, so strands stay silky, tangle-free, and naturally reflective.
  • Heat-style freedom: Curl, straighten, or wave up to 230 °C just as you would your own hair.
  • Long-term value: With proper care, Remy clip-ins outlast synthetic or permanent bonds—ideal for repeat wear.

Quick fact: Original Diva sources ethically collected Remy hair, processed without silicone coatings for superior durability.


What Are Clip-In Hair Extensions?

Clip-in (also called clip-on) hair extensions are the most convenient, damage-free installation method available:

How to Install Clip-Ins Correctly

  1. Section & tease: Create a horizontal part, lightly back-comb near the roots.
  2. Clip & secure: Press the snap clips shut, ensuring flat contact with your scalp.
  3. Blend & style: Release the top layer, brush through, then heat-style as desired.

Colour-Matching & Celebrity Hair Trends

From cool ash blondes to rich chocolate browns, our 25+ pre-blended shades make matching effortless. For Instagram-worthy dimension:

  • Balayage effect: Mix two complementary sets (e.g., #10 Caramel & #18 Honey Blonde).
  • Money-piece highlights: Clip lighter wefts near the face to frame and brighten.
  • Trend alert 2025: Chestnut copper and “expensive brunette” are dominating red carpets.

Because they’re 100 % human, Original Diva extensions hold curls, waves, and sleek glass finishes exactly like A-list stylists create.


How to Spot High-Quality Real Hair Extensions

  1. Cuticle alignment: Run fingers downward—no roughness means intact cuticles.
  2. Minimal shedding: Gently pull; only 1–2 strands should come loose.
  3. Consistent thickness: Wefts stay full from seam to tip, not stringy at the ends.

Always choose Remy-grade human hair over “human hair blend” or synthetic mixes for the most natural movement.

Tip: Schedule your bridal hair trial 4 weeks out and bring your Original Diva extensions so your stylist can pre-trim for a seamless blend.


Care & Maintenance Tips

  • Wash every 10–15 wears with sulphate-free shampoo; always air-dry.
  • Use heat protectant before hot tools to prevent dryness.
  • Store clipped shut in a silk bag or on a hanger to avoid tangling.
