How do I apply my locks & Mane clip-in extensions?
Get ready for 50 Seconds to Fabulous! Our team has created a series of how-to videos on Instagram (@locksandmane) to view at your convenience, and a quick step-by-step guide below.
HELP! Why are my clips facing upside down?!
Since most clip-in extensions on the market today are produced with the clips pointing downward, we receive a TON of questions and concerns that the clips are sewn on wrong.
Locks & Mane clip-in extensions are designed with the clips pointing upwards to ensure a tease-free all day hold. By scooping the clips against the growth of your hair and snapping closed, your wefts are held more securely without needing to backcomb and the clips lay completely flat against your scalp.
Why are there only two wefts?
Locks & Mane clip-ins were created with comfort and ease in mind for all wearers. This is why our 12” and 18” clip-in extensions are made with two quick-to-apply wefts that more effectively distribute the extension weight for all-day comfort and secure hold.
Each set includes:
1) One anchor weft, placed from temple to temple
2) One small weft, placed either above the anchor weft for volume, or below it for length
Are the extensions real hair?
Locks & Mane is proud to offer 100% Remy hair extensions that can be cut, colored, washed, and heat styled - just like your natural locks!
How do I choose the right shade for me?
Get ready to meet your match! When looking for your Locks & Mane shade, always reference the ends of your hair for a seamless blend. Even undyed locks contain several variations and are often lighter towards the end from sunlight exposure or natural damage like dryness or breakage. Changing your color? All Locks & Mane extension products can be dyed, toned or color shampooed to perfectly match your new hue. Bleaching any extension is highly discouraged as the extension cuticle is pre-processed and more susceptible to damage.
How often should I wash my extensions?
Just like your natural hair, when to wash your extensions is a matter of personal preference! Since extensions do not directly receive oils from your scalp like your locks, they probably need to be washed for 6-8 weeks, depending on your usage. When the extensions start to feel dry, it’s probably time for a wash. If your clips are feeling constantly dry even after conditioning, it could be time for a new set!
How long does my hair need to be?
We recommend at least chin length locks as a good starting point for our clip-ins. That said, in our years we have seen some incredible L&M transformations, especially for our Mane Babes who layer their clip-ins with the help of their stylist! For thick hair or blunt ends, we suggest ordering two sets of extensions to achieve a seamless blend.

APPLY YOUR CLIP-INS IN LESS THAN A MINUTE WITH OUR SIMPLE SCOOP, SHIMMP, SNAP METHOD
SCOOP
Start by sectioning your hair and clipping up remaining hair out of the way. Using your thumb and pointer fingers, open the clip and use a scooping motion to grab some of the hair below the part line you created. Ensure that the clip remains underneath this part to avoid any bumps.
SHIMMY
Before closing the clip in pace, shimmy the clip side to side, perpendicular to your natural hair. This helps to ensure a tight hold without teasing.
SNAP
Press down on both sides of the clips to snap closed. Work from the middle outwards to ensure a secure weft. Outer clips are intentionally smaller to accommodate finer hairs typically found towards the hairline.
Effortless application - just 2 easy-to-apply wefts
Available in 10 multidimensional
