How to Blend Extensions With Your Silk Press

A fresh silk press is the perfect base for extensions – sleek, smooth and full of movement. The secret to a seamless finish is choosing extensions that match the way your pressed hair actually looks and feels.

1. Match your texture, not just your length

Pressed natural hair rarely looks bone-straight. It has a soft, natural texture and a smooth finish, and your extensions should too.

• Silk Press Blend (Textured Straight) – our closest match to freshly pressed natural hair, with a natural lustre that never looks overly silky.
• Silk Finish (Silk Straight) – ideal if your press is extra sleek and glossy, or if you wear relaxed hair.

2. Choose Clip-Ins for no-commitment volume

Our Clip-Ins are crafted to blend with pressed natural and relaxed hair, and they're ready to wear at home or in salon – so you can add length and volume to your press for a day, a weekend or an occasion, then take them out.

3. Protect your press

• Clip in close to the root on dry, styled hair and let your own hair fall over each weft.
• Always use a heat protectant before touching up your extensions and your press together.
• Remove your Clip-Ins before sleeping and wrap your hair to keep your press fresh.

4. Get the fullness right

For a natural enhancement, one set is usually enough. For everyday luxury, choose two sets, and for maximum volume, two to three. See How Much Hair Do I Need?
