As tricky as it sounds, it’s really not that complicated. Simply flip your head over and clip in your hair extensions upside down as opposed to flat on the hairline. Then flip your head back again and your hair extensions should create big, beautiful hair without the need of any styling products- score!

Use volumising products

Regardless if you’re using hair extensions for volume or not, if your own growing hair is forever falling on the flat side, then it’s time to take a look at the products you are using. So before you clip in your hair extensions, why not give your hair a head-start by applying volumising products to it? When clipping in your hair extensions, we recommend using dry shampoo on your own hair, as this will provide a grip for your clip-ins to hold on to and give volume to your limp locks, too.

Visit your hair stylist

Our last tip on how to use hair extensions for volume is to have your hair extensions cut by a stylist. Although it might sound counter-productive having your Rapunzel hair chopped off, getting your hair extensions cut will actually help to blend your extensions with your own growing hair and provide natural- looking volume, without compromising on the length.

There’s plenty of ways to use hair extensions for volume and it’s all about finding what works for you and your own natural, growing locks, too.
