Flip-de-flapperdie FLOEP! Full hair, with an extension. Yes, it's true, that's how easy the Flip-in is to use! This product is the perfect solution for ladies who are prone to headaches, or for when you're in a hurry ;). In this blog, we'll tell you, among other things: What is a flip-in, everything about applying the flip-in, what are the advantages of a flip-in, and how do I care for my flip-in?
What is a flip-in?
The Zascha flip-in can be used in two ways:
- With thread adjusted to your preference + 5 clips.
- Only with the 5 clips.
The thread is completely invisible, comfortable to wear, and won't damage your own hair.
This product looks most natural with hair that has layers, or thin ends. For the hair types mentioned above, this product provides volume and length. If you do not have layers and/or full ends, you can only use the flip-in for more volume at your own length, and not for extensions.
Our flip-ins are made from 100% Indian Human hair and are of double drawn quality. This means that few shorter hairs are incorporated, and the flip-ins have beautiful full ends. This allows the flip-in extensions to blend perfectly with your own hair!
How do I apply my flip-in?
Like everything in life, it's a bit awkward the first time. We're going to explain everything step by step to make it as easy as possible!
Step 1: With a tail comb or your fingers, create an oval shape starting from your part at the top, all the way around your head. Clip the top layer of your hair (the hair that will go over the flip-in) securely. You can do this with our Zascha Croc Clips, for example.
Step 2: Place the flip-in over the oval shape, and see how much you need to adjust the thread until it fits you perfectly. Don't clip anything yet.
Step 3: Once the thread length is to your liking, you can firmly crimp the bead with pliers. Make sure you have enough thread at the end and crimp it really tightly. Want to be sure you have the right pliers? Then order our special Microring Pliers.
Step 4: Cut off the rest of the thread to your desired length. Do this as short as possible.
Step 5: Comb or brush your own hair over the thread. This way, you ensure that the thread is no longer visible. Please note: only do this to the side of your head. If you comb or brush backward, you will remove the flip-in.
Step 6: When the flip-in feels comfy, clip the clips securely, and you're ready to shine!
Do you have somewhat smoother hair? Then you can apply some volume powder or dry shampoo to the area where the clips are. Do you want to be 100% sure it really won't go anywhere? For example, during shoots, weddings, or festivals, you can apply a small amount of backcombing to the area where the clips are.

Which flip-in do we offer?
All flip-ins come with individual threads and crimp beads packaged separately so you always have enough to get the most out of your hair! In our assortment, we offer:
Flip-in 40cm/120g: this usually reaches about your bra strap.
Flip-in 50cm/140g: this reaches about your lowest rib.
See examples:
This product is also super easy to combine with:
- A Zascha Hair V-part
- Our Fill-ins for extra volume on the sides of your head
- Our Clip in Fringe for a completely different look in an instant
The V-part is very suitable for combining with a flip-in for volume like you only see in Hollywood. Because you place the V-part a bit higher, it falls slightly shorter. Do you have the 40cm flip-in? Then the 50cm V-part matches. Do you have the 50cm flip-in, then the 60cm V-part is a great addition.
What is the difference between a volumizer and a flip-in?
The biggest difference between the flip-in and the volumizer is the weight and the attachment. The volumizer of 40cm weighs 50g, and the volumizer of 50cm weighs 60g. The flip-in is therefore much fuller, which also allows it to provide an extension. Because both the flip-in and the volumizer are wider wefts, they are less suitable for use when you like to wear your hair up. In that case, it's best to go for a full set.
A huge advantage of the flip-in is that it's incredibly quick to apply, and that it (when properly placed) stays super secure and is invisible!
How do I care for my flip-in?
The flip-in and clip-in extensions are of the same quality. You can and may curl/style and wash them. In this link, you'll find our blog with all tips and tricks on washing. Please note that flip-in extensions also respond less well to keratin products and can be more prone to color changes from color shampoos. More tips about color shampoos?
Good to know: You may remove the Flip-in from its packaging to assess the color, length, and quality. If the color or length isn't quite right and the tag is still attached, returns are, of course, no problem. Please note that the thread + the micro rings must also be in new condition.
Of course, you can always ask us for help if you're not quite sure. Feel free to send a chat message or an email to info@zascha.nl. You can also contact us via Instagram or send us a WhatsApp at 085-2250281.
