Clip-in Hair Extensions: Total Freedom

What are Clip-in Hair Extensions?

Clip-in extensions are natural Raw Hair wefts equipped with small metal clips that you attach yourself to your natural hair. You put them in in the morning and take them out in the evening. Simple, quick, and effective.

Weave: Perfect Integration

What is weaving?

Weaving involves sewing Raw Hair extensions onto your natural hair, which is braided into cornrows. Once professionally installed, the weave stays in place for 6 to 8 weeks. You wake up with your extensions, you go to sleep with them. It's your new hair, 24/7.

The Advantages of Weaving

  • Saves time every day – No installation/removal
  • Maximum volume – Guaranteed full density
  • Ideal for short hair – Radical transformation possible
  • Suitable for use in swimming pools/sea – with appropriate precautions

The Disadvantages of Weaving

  • Professional application required – 2 to 4 hours at the hairdresser's
  • Installation/removal cost – €50 to €150 every 6-8 weeks
  • 6-8 week commitment – ​​No breaks possible
  • More complex care – Delicate wash, long drying time
  • May be uncomfortable – the first few days (tight braids)
  • Risk if applied incorrectly – Excessive tension = hair breakage

Actual Cost of Weaving

Initial investment: €200 - €500 (hair extensions + application)

Maintenance: €50 - €150 every 6-8 weeks (removal/refitting)

Actual monthly cost: €75 - €200/month

Annual cost: €900 - €2,400

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Our Raw Hair extensions can be clipped in and then converted into a weave by your hairdresser. It's a great way to try before you commit.
