How To Clip in Hair Extensions With Our HIGH-5 Set
Wondering how to install your HIGH-5 hair extensions in? This step-by-step installation guide will show you exactly how to install your clip-in hair extensions for instant, natural-looking length and volume.
Don't worry if you've never worn clip in hair extensions before. HIGH-5 was designed to be simple to fit at home, even for beginners. Most customers can fit their set in around 5–10 minutes. If it's your first time, simply follow the step-by-step guide below.
What Are HIGH-5 Hair Extensions?
The HIGH-5 is our five-piece full-head clip-in hair extension set, designed to add natural length and volume with a lightweight, comfortable fit. Made from 100% Remy human hair, each piece blends seamlessly with your natural hair for an undetectable finish.
Unlike traditional clip-in extensions that can feel bulky or look obvious, HIGH-5’s seamless design sits flat against the scalp. The five carefully sized pieces can be attached to the crown, sides and back, adding natural-looking fullness and length where you need it.
The smaller pieces are perfect for enhancing the front and sides, while the larger pieces add coverage through the back of the head for a natural, even blend.
Available in 29 shades and three lengths (14", 18" and 22"), HIGH-5 seamlessly blends with fine or thinning hair.

How To Install HIGH-5 Clip In Hair Extensions
Follow our step-by-step guide to learn how to install clip in hair extensions using the HIGH-5 for a secure, undetectable finish.
Step 1: Gather your tools
Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need:
-
Your HIGH-5 clip in hair extensions
-
A soft paddle brush
-
A hair clip
-
A rat-tail comb
-
A mirror
Step 2: Prepare your natural hair
Start with clean, dry hair and gently brush through to remove any knots or tangles. Using your rat-tail comb, create a clean horizontal section across the back of your head, level with the top of your ears, and clip the remaining hair out of the way.
Step 3: Prepare your hair extensions
Lay out all five pieces in order, from the smallest to the largest, and unclip each clip so they're ready to fit.
Step 4: Install your HIGH-5 hair extensions
Start by clipping the first 9-inch VOLUMIZER One Piece into your section. Create a second horizontal section above it and fit the second 9-inch VOLUMIZER One Piece.
Next, create another horizontal section and fit the 6-inch VOLUMIZER Crown Piece through the back of the crown, positioning it above the two 9-inch VOLUMIZER One Pieces.
Finally, fit the two 3-inch FACE FRAMERS® around the front or sides of your hair, placing them wherever you would like to add subtle fullness or blend areas of lower density.
Once all five pieces are fitted, use a mirror to check around your head for any visible pieces. If you have particularly fine or thinning hair, try repositioning the Crown Piece slightly lower or gently backcombing the roots before clipping it in for additional coverage.
Step 5: Style your look
Once your HIGH-5 extensions are fitted, gently brush or use your fingers to blend your natural hair with the extensions for a seamless finish.
You can wear your HIGH-5 extensions straight or embrace their natural texture for an effortless, beachy finish. Simply dampen the extensions, scrunch them gently and allow them to air dry. For a step-by-step demonstration, watch our beach wave tutorial.
How Long Does it Take to Put Hair Extensions in?
Most customers can fit their HIGH-5 extensions in around 5–10 minutes once they've become familiar with the fitting process. If it's your first time, don't worry if it takes a little longer.
With a little practice, fitting your extensions quickly becomes part of your styling routine.
If you're planning to wear your HIGH-5 extensions for a special occasion, wedding or night out, we recommend allowing yourself a little extra time the first few times you fit them. This gives you plenty of time to position each piece correctly and style your natural hair and extensions together for the most seamless finish.

FAQs
It's my first time using hair extensions. Are HIGH-5 extensions suitable for beginners?
Yes. HIGH-5 was designed to be simple to fit at home, making it ideal for both first-time hair extension wearers and experienced users. Follow the step-by-step installation guide above, and with a little practice, most customers can fit their set in around 5–10 minutes. Don't forget to read our Aftercare Guide to keep your extensions looking and feeling their best.
Do I have to use all the pieces in the set for my HIGH-5 extensions install?
No. HIGH-5 is designed to be completely customisable, so you don't have to wear all five pieces every time. For everyday wear, you may prefer to fit a few pieces. For evenings, special occasions or when you'd like a fuller look, wear the complete five-piece set. The two Face Framer Pieces can also be worn on their own to softly frame the face or add fullness where you need it most.
Can I wear HIGH-5 extensions with fine or thinning hair?
Yes. Our HIGH-5 clip in hair extensions were designed with fine and thinning hair in mind.
Many types of hair extensions add bulk and weight to the hair and scalp, but HIGH-5 was made to combat that. These delicate, lightweight hair pieces lay flat on the scalp without pulling on your hair or adding tension, making them ideal for anyone dealing with thinning hair, fragile hair, and hair loss.
I'm still having difficulty installing my extensions. Please can you help?
Absolutely. Like any new skill, fitting clip in hair extensions becomes easier with practice. If you're struggling, try repositioning the pieces, checking that each clip is fully secured and using a mirror to check the back of your head. If you're still having difficulty, our team will be happy to help. Simply contact our support team and we'll guide you through the fitting process.
