Check out our short but sweet blog post, where we fill you in on our top 5 must-have tools and products for rocking your clip-ins.

1. Leave-in Conditioner

We all know that one girl with perfect hair, not a strand out of place, regardless of the weather or humidity.

Spoiler alert: Behind that perfect hair-do is a lot of leave-in conditioner. We already know that natural hair requires great hydration to look it’s best and our natural hair clip-ins are no different.

Leave-in conditioners will help to mitigate any shedding of your clip-ins, help to tame flyaway hairs and fend off tangling all whilst keeping your clip-ins moisturised and bouncy! The good news is whatever conditioner you use for your natural hair will likely be suitable for our clip-ins too, so there’s no need for you to fork out extra cash on several different leave-in conditioners.

Not only can headscarves and hair wraps be used to protect your hairstyle and prevent tangling when you sleep but they’re also great for styling in the day. They can help diversify your style, add a splash of colour or disguise clips in the wefts if necessary.
