Hey queen,
New to clip-ins? Don’t stress—I got you. Installing 4C clip-in extensions is actually super simple once you get the hang of it. Whether you’re adding length, volume, or going for a full transformation, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the process. You’ll be out here looking like a whole goddess in no time!
What You’ll Need:
-
Taji Hair 4C Clip-In Extensions

Rat-tail comb

Moisturizer or leave-in conditioner

Optional: edge control or gel for a sleek finish

Bobby pins (just in case)
Step-by-Step Clip-In Install Guide:
Step 1: Prep Your Natural Hair
Start with clean, moisturized hair. If you’re installing for volume, stretch your hair using braiding, twisting, or blow-drying. If you’re doing a full install, braid or flat-twist your hair down to create a flat base.
Step 2: Section Your Hair
Using a rat-tail comb, part your hair horizontally at the nape of your neck and clip the rest up. This is where your first clip-in will go.
Step 3: Start Clipping
Take a weft that fits the width of the section. Open the clips and attach them as close to the roots as possible, snapping them shut once secure. Work your way up, parting and clipping as you go.
Step 4: Blend Like a Pro
If you’re leaving some of your hair out, use a curl cream or gel to define your curls so they blend with the clip-ins. You can also twist or braid your leave-out with the extensions overnight for a seamless match.
Step 5: Style & Slay
Now the fun part—styling! You can do a twist-out, braid-out, puff, bun, half-up, half-down, or leave it big and curly. The choice is yours, queen!
Optional Pro Tip:
Want more volume? Flip your wefts upside down at the crown to avoid bulk and help the hair fall more naturally.
