Are there any hair extensions you can attach yourself without spending a fortune at the salon? Yes, there are! Also known as 20 Human Hair Weft, DIY hair extensions are a quick and straightforward way to spruce up your look. DIY hair extensions are divided into two types, natural and synthetic. The natural type is made with human hair which is categorized into various grades, with grade A being the highest quality of hair.

DIY cheap human hair extensions arrive in wefts of varying thicknesses, each with a set of pressure sensitive clips along the top. These are attached to your natural locks in layers to give you instant length and volume. A fine example of great quality DIY hair extensions is Easy Clips, using grade A 100 percent human hair.

And how do these DIY hair extensions work? Just follow these steps to attach yours in a matter of minutes:

1. First make sure your hair is clean and dry. Practice opening and closing the clips by simply applying pressure to each side of the clip with your thumbs.

2. Using a tailcomb make a clean horizontal parting across your scalp just above your ears and secure the hair that's above the parting with a clip.

3. Pick up the first hair weft to attach and make sure the clips are all open.

4. Begin with the middle clip always! Slip the comb of the clip onto your natural hair and snap shut. Check if the clip is firmly in place and continue with the clips on either side of the middle one.

5. Take out the top part of your hair that has been tied up and make another horizontal parting 1 inch above the attached weft. Pin up the rest of your hair.

6. Attach another weft in the same way as the first. Repeat the steps for the rest of the application.

7. Continue making horizontal partings and attaching the wefts as you move up the back of your head.

8. Attach the narrower side wefts by making a horizontal parting above your ear and attaching the clips in the same way as you have been doing for the rest of your hair.

9. Use a mirror to check that no clips are showing . And you're done!
