Remy hair extensions are quickly becoming a must have fashion accessory item in South Africa. Clipinhair, based in Cape Town sells affordable,lightweight and extremely easy too attach 100% Remy hair extensions. With eleven different colours to choose from you are bound to find the perfect match! They also come in different lengths as well as styles (straight or wavy).
I have personally owned my own set of Clipinhair extensions for about year now and absolutely love them! They are amazing quality and it was the lowest price on the market without compromising at all on the quality!

As girls, we all love to look and feel beautiful, and one of those ways is making our hair look beautiful. When I have my extensions in I automatically feel more confident and beautiful. With festival season around the corner there is no excuse to look absolutely fashion forward with a pair of Clipinhair extensions. As long as you know how to look after your set of Clipinhair extensions, you will be absolutely fine.

Synergy,Rezonance, Rock the River and Ultra are all events that are within the next few months! If you are like me and have always wanted to wear your extensions to a festival, but are always too afraid they will get ruined...read on.

Caring for Your Clipinhair Extensions at a Festival:

After dancing for hours, your hair is bound to be tangled and a bit knotted so when you get back to the tent, comb your hair out with the Tangle Teezer brush
If pieces of grass, thorns etc get stuck in the extensions don't start pulling it out as this will pull the air out of the clip. Rather take the extensions out and slowly start taking it out with your hands and Tangle Teezer brush
If you spill alcohol into your hair and it is all sticky, make sure to wash it when you get home from the festival. When washing the extensions make sure you do so very gently (See bottom of post for Youtube tutorial on taking care of your extensions)
Do not sleep with the extensions in (no matter how drunk/tired or both )! Make sure that you take them out and comb them before putting them into their box.
When you get home from the festival make sure to give them a gentle wash with both shampoo and conditioner. Remember that blow-drying can cause unnecessary damage and hair loss so don't do this too often. Remember to always use heat protective products when blow drying/straightening or curling your extensions.

Festival Fashion for Summer 2013

Clipinhair extensions are amazing as they not only give one heaps of confidence but all the celebs are going to festivals with their extensions.They automatically change an outfit from an average festival outfit, to a fashion forward bohemian goddess! The colour strips and feather strips are really hot for this Summer, they come in a variety of colours and are super affordable and easy to maintain.
