The strands can also be used in multitude to add volume to your hair while giving it a natural look. In that case, a stylist would section your hair and put the clips in with space in between them.

They’re good for getting a nice hairdo without having to wait for individual strands to be put in. They also come in a variety of styles and colors for you to choose from.
The Different Hair Available
