How to Order & Install

Your complete guide to ordering and installing your Simple Inches DIY Hair Extensions.

1. How to Order

For the most natural, seamless look, always match your current root color first.

Example: If your root is close to #2 Dark Chocolate and you want some highlights:

  • Pick your desired length
  • Add ½ Pack Dark Chocolate (to match your root)
  • Add ½ Pack Frosted Dark Chocolate (for dimension)

✅ You must either purchase 1 Full Pack of a single color or 2 Half Packs of two different colors.

Why? Because most hair isn’t one flat color! Mixing two tones gives a softer, more realistic blend between your hair and your extensions.

2. Why Two Colors Are Better

  • Creates natural-looking dimension
  • Matches balayage, highlights, or money pieces
  • Blends seamlessly with your real hair
  • Gives flexibility for front vs. back placement
  • Saves money — one order, multiple looks

3. The Reversible Weft Sandwich

When you order two colors, you can layer them during install — this is the Simple Inches Reversible Weft Sandwich Method.

  • Back of head: Place the darker color on top of the sandwich to match your deeper root/back area.
  • Front or crown: Place the lighter color on top to mimic your highlights or balayage pieces.
This method gives instant dimension and a customizable, professional look — all from one set of extensions!

Step 1: Confirm Your Color Match

Before opening your package, hold the clear sealed bag up to your hair to confirm the color is correct. Once the seal is broken, the hair is non-returnable for sanitary reasons. (See Return Policy)

Step 2: Wash the Extensions

If it’s the correct match, wash the extensions with extension-safe shampoo and conditioner before installing.
