Why Clip-In Hair Extensions Are a Game Changer
Clip-in extensions are an easy way to change your look in a matter of minutes. If you want to try out longer styles or want fuller hair, but don't want to make a permanent commitment, they're a great option.
They're also easy to apply at home versus making an appointment at the salon if you don't have the time in your busy schedule. The best part? You can take them out at the end of the day and reuse them as many times as you'd like!
Clip in hair extensions are a more gentle option for your natural hair. There is no adhesive or heat so you get all the benefits of volume and length without sacrificing the health of your hair.
They're perfect if you'd like to mix up your styles a lot. Want long beachy waves one day and a bob the next? Clip-ins give you the option to do it all!
They're also a great option, specifically for black hair. Whether you have silky hair, naturally curly hair, or relaxed hair, here at SWAY, we have black extensions that are a perfect match to blend naturally with your real hair to instantly improve your appearance.
Choosing the Right Shade ofBlack Clip In Hair Extensions
If you want your clip-in extensions to look natural, finding the perfect shade of black is key. At first look, two different shades of black may look identical, but side-by-side, those slight differences in colour become more obvious.
Jet black is cool and blue toned. It’s glossy and dramatic, and it tends to flatter those with naturally dark features or a higher complexion.
However, natural black is a little softer. There is often a slight brown undertone with the natural black shade and it can look warmer, especially in the daylight.
So how do you know which colour shade to choose? Try holding your hair up to natural light to see if you notice any undertones. If you’re still unsure, we’re always available to help withcolour matching questions.
How to Apply Black Clip-In Extensions for a Natural Finish
The key to a natural finish withblack clip in hair extensions is in the placement and blending. Begin with freshly washed and thoroughly dry hair.
Using apintail comb, section off a horizontal layer at the base of your neck and unclip the first weft. Clip it securely as close to the root as you can. Continue this layering process up the back of your head, clipping wefts at the sides of your head as needed.
The final result will look more natural if the top layer of your hair completely conceals the upper clips. If your hair is very fine, tease a bit at the root to help conceal the wefts and to give the clips something to hold onto.
Styling tools can also be used on your extensions just as you would on your natural hair. Curl, straighten, or create waves for your preferred look. With black hair, we love soft curls or smooth and straight hair, as it helps blend the texture for a natural, photo ready look.
Tips for Blending with Natural Black Hair
If you want your clip-ins to be completely unnoticeable, perfect blending is what you're looking for. One of the easiest methods is to simply style your hair and your extensions together after they’ve been clipped in.
Once the extensions are applied, run your straightener or curler through both your own hair and the extensions in sections so they move and lay together as one. You can also applySWAY Hair Oil to smooth down any flyaways and give them some shine. This is especially true for black hair, which naturally reflects light in a way that makes it look even more luxurious when healthy and hydrated.
If you have a textured or layered haircut, you may also want to trim your extensions down once they’re in so they follow the shape of your style. This helps prevent any obvious length differences. We always recommend getting this done by a professional stylist if you’re unsure, but it’s a one-time step that can make all the difference in the world for blending.

Blackclip in hair extensions are very versatile, and there are so many fun ways to style your hair. Create a high ponytail with lots of drama or soft curls that fall gently past your shoulders.
Black hair can also look stunning when sleeked back and straight. This can be a great way to create extra volume in an updo style, such as a bun or a braid.
You can also play around with colour accents if you’re feeling bold. Here at SWAY, we have a wide range ofnatural hair colours to choose from.
