Some customers find that their hair feels heavy on head after wearing clip in hair extensions for a while. This is a common issue, and it’s usually not because the product is poorly made.
Why Hair Feels Heavy on Head with Clip Ins?
A few key factors can cause your hair feels heavy on your head when wearing clip in hair extensions.
Good clip-in extensions are made to blend with your real hair. To look natural and full, they need to have a good amount of hair on each weft. Simply put, more hair equals more weight. A full, high-quality set is naturally going to have some weight to it. If you have chosen a set that is very long or very thick, it will be heavier than a shorter or thinner set.
If you have fine or thin hair, your scalp isn’t used to much weight. Suddenly adding a full set of extensions is a big change. It’s like switching from a light t-shirt to a heavy winter coat—the difference is immediate. Someone with thicker hair might not feel the same weight, as their scalp supports more naturally.
If you are new to hair extensions, any extra weight on your head will feel strange at first. Your scalp is sensitive. It takes some time for you to get used to the feeling of having clips and more hair attached.
If all the wefts are clipped too close or onto thin sections of hair, the weight isn’t spread out. This creates a “pulling” feeling in one spot, making the whole set feel heavier than it actually is.
How to Prevent Hair Feels Heavy on Head with Clip Ins
1. Check How You Clip Them In
The way you place the wefts in your hair makes a big difference.
- Don’t Put Them All in One Spot: Think of building a strong wall. You don’t put all the weight at the bottom. It’s the same with your extensions. Instead of clipping every weft in the same row, try to layer them.
- How to Layer: Start with the largest weft at the back of your head, a few inches from your neck. Then, as you add the smaller wefts, move them a little higher up your head. This spreads the weight across a larger area instead of one small section of your scalp.
- Anchor Them Well: Always make sure you are clipping the wefts onto sections of your natural hair that are thick enough to hold them. If you clip a large weft onto a small, thin section of hair, it will pull and feel heavy.
2. Use the Right Number of Wefts
You might not need to use the entire set every time.
- Use Only What You Need: If you are looking for a little more volume and not maximum fullness, try leaving out one or two of the smallest wefts. This can reduce the total weight significantly without you noticing a big difference in how your hair looks.
- Customize for Your Style: For everyday looks, using just the three largest wefts might be enough. Save the full set for special occasions when you want your hair to be its most full.
3. Consider a Professional Adjustment
If you still find that your hair feels heavy on head, a hairstylist can help.
- Thinning Them Out: A stylist can carefully thin out the wefts with special thinning shears. This removes some of the density and weight from the extensions themselves, making them feel lighter. Important: Do not try this yourself, as you could damage the extensions.
4. Get Used to the Feeling
Sometimes, it’s about getting comfortable with something new.
- It Takes Time: If you are not used to wearing hair extensions, even a lightweight set can feel strange at first. Your scalp is simply not used to the extra weight.
- Practice at Home: Try wearing your extensions for short periods at home. This helps you and your scalp get used to the feeling before you wear them for a full day out.
5. Choose the Right Product for You
Finally, think about your own hair.
- Know Your Hair Type: If you have very fine or thin hair, any clip-in extension might feel heavy. Full Shine offers different sets, and some might be lighter than others. Look for sets described as “lightweight” or “for fine hair.”
- Talk to Customer Service: Before you buy, you can contact Full Shine customer service. They can often give you good advice on which of their products would be the best and most comfortable fit for your hair type.
