There are a few common reasons why clip-in extensions might not stay in place:
1. Poor Clip Quality
Not all clip-in extensions are made the same. Many brands use low-quality metal clips that don’t grip well, causing extensions to shift or fall out easily.
Foxy Locks clips are designed for superior grip. Our extensions feature high-quality, secure clips with a built-in silicone band that gently but firmly grips your hair—providing a strong, non-slip hold without damage.
2. Slippery or Freshly Washed Hair
Extensions need something to grip onto. Freshly washed, silky hair can be too smooth, making clips slide.
Solution: Use a dry shampoo or lightly tease the root section where the clips will attach for extra grip.
3. Incorrect Installation
Not sectioning hair properly or placing the clips too close to the scalp can cause them to loosen.
Solution: Ensure each weft is clipped into a secure, even section and pressed down firmly for a strong hold.
4. Too Much Hair Product or Oily Roots
Excess oils or heavy styling products can build up at the roots, making hair slippery and reducing the grip of the clips.
Solution: Keep styling products away from the root area and use a lightweight texturizing spray for better hold.
5. Using Extensions That Are Too Heavy for Your Hair Type
If you have fine or thin hair, heavy clip-ins can weigh down your hair, causing them to shift throughout the day.
Solution: Our Seamless & Invisible Clip-In Extensions are lightweight and designed for fine hair, providing extra grip without weighing the hair down.
How to Keep Clip-In Extensions from Slipping
1. Choose High-Quality Clips for a Strong Hold
Not all clip-in extensions have secure, non-slip clips. Many brands use standard clips that don’t properly grip the hair, causing slippage.
Foxy Locks Difference: Our custom-designed clips feature a built-in silicone band, which safely and securely grips your hair without causing damage. This means:
- Better hold for all-day wear
- No slipping or shifting
- Gentle, damage-free grip for healthier hair
If you’ve experienced clip-ins falling out with other brands, switching to Foxy Locks will make all the difference.
2. Prep Your Hair for Maximum Grip
- Avoid applying extensions on freshly washed hair. Clip-in extensions hold best on second-day hair or hair that has some natural texture.
- Lightly tease the roots where the clips will attach. This provides extra grip and prevents slipping.
- Use a dry shampoo or texturizing spray at the roots before application to create extra hold.
3. Install Your Clip-In Extensions Correctly
- Brush your hair and section it properly – Start at the nape of your neck and clip hair into layers for easy application.
- Tease the roots slightly – This provides extra grip and prevents slippage.
- Clip the wefts securely – Press down firmly on the Foxy Locks silicone-lined clips to ensure a strong hold.
- Blend and style – Brush through your natural hair and extensions together for a seamless look.
Pro Tip: Placing the largest wefts at the widest part of your head (just above your ears) will provide better balance and prevent shifting.
4. Keep Your Extensions in Place All Day
- Use light-hold hairspray on the roots before clipping in your extensions for extra security.
- Avoid excessive brushing or touching throughout the day to minimize movement.
- Style with heat after applying your extensions – this helps blend and hold them in place.
5. Remove and Store Your Extensions Properly
Taking care of your extensions ensures they stay in great condition and maintain their grip over time.
- Gently unclip each weft before sliding it out—never tug or pull.
- Brush extensions before storing to prevent tangling.
- Store them flat or in a silk bag to keep them fresh for the next wear.
