Practice Makes Perfect.
Its important to practice placing your hair extensions prior to any event. It may take a few times to get it right. It also doesn't hurt to have a friend help you out!

What if I just can't get it right?
If you purchase extensions and just can't get them placed right, don't worry. It's not always easy to make them look nice on your own. Call your hair stylist and ask her if she would be willing to place your hair extensions and style your hair for your special event. Let her know that you have your own extensions and that you simply need them clipped in.
