Flipper-the-flap FLOOP! Full hair with length extension—yes, really, that’s how easy the Flip-in is to use! This product is the perfect solution for ladies who are prone to headaches or just always in a hurry. 😉
In this blog, we’ll tell you all about: What is a flip-in, How to apply a flip-in, The benefits of a flip-in, How to take care of your flip-in.
What is a flip-in?
The Flip-in (also known as Halo Hair) is a product that can be secured in two ways:
- With an adjustable wire + 5 clips.
- With the 5 clips only.
The wire is completely invisible, comfortable to wear, and does not damage your own hair.
This product looks the most natural on hair with layers or thin ends. For these hair types, it adds both volume and length. If you don’t have layers and/or have thick, blunt ends, the Flip-in can only be used to add volume at your natural length, but not for length extension.
Our Flip-ins are made from 100% Indian Human Hair and are of double drawn quality. This means that very few shorter hairs are included, giving the Flip-ins beautifully full ends. As a result, the Flip-in extensions blend perfectly with your natural hair!
How to place my flip-in?
Like everything in life, the first time might feel a bit unfamiliar. But don’t worry—we’ll guide you step by step to make it as easy as possible!
Step 1: Use a tail comb or your fingers to create an oval-shaped section from your parting on top, all the way around your head. Clip up the top layer of your hair (the hair that will cover the Flip-in) securely. You can do this with our Zascha Croc Clip. Step 2: Place the Flip-in over the oval section and check how much you need to adjust the wire to achieve the perfect fit. Do not clip anything in place just yet.
Step 3: Once the wire length is adjusted to your preference, use pliers to firmly clamp the bead shut. Make sure to leave a bit of extra wire at the end and squeeze it tightly. Want to be sure you have the right pliers? Order our special Microring Pliers. Step 4: Trim the excess wire as short as possible. Step 5: Comb or brush your natural hair over the wire to make it completely invisible. Important: Only brush to the sides of your head—brushing backward may cause the Flip-in to come loose. Step 6: Once the Flip-in feels comfortable, secure the clips, and you’re all set to shine! ✨
Do you have slightly smooth hair? You can apply a bit of volume powder or dry shampoo where the clips will be placed for extra grip. Want to be 100% sure it stays in place? For example, during photoshoots, weddings, or festivals, you can lightly tease the area where the clips are attached.

Which Flip-in do we offer?
All Flip-ins come with extra wires and micro beads separately packaged, so you always have enough to remove and adjust them as needed!
In our collection, we offer:
Flip-in 40cm (16″) / 120g – Typically reaches about bra strap length. Flip-in 50cm (20″) / 140g – Typically reaches about your lower rib.See examples below:
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 perfect to combine with a Flip-in for Hollywood-level volume. Since the V-part is placed a bit higher, it falls slightly shorter.
If you have the 40cm Flip-in, the 50cm V-part is a great match. If you have the 50cm Flip-in, 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 attachment method.
- The 40cm Volumizer weighs 50g.
- The 50cm Volumizer weighs 60g.
The Flip-in is much fuller, making it suitable for both volume and length extension.
Since both the Flip-in and the Volumizer are wider wefts, they are less suitable if you like to wear your hair up. In that case, a clip-in set would be the better choice.
A huge advantage of the Flip-in is that it can be placed super quickly and, when placed correctly, stays securely in place while remaining completely invisible!
How do I take care of my flip-in?
The flip-in and clip-in extensions are of the same quality. You can curl, straighten, and wash them. This link contains our blog with various tips and tricks on washing them. However, keep in mind that flip-in extensions also react to keratin products and can absorb color from shampoos more quickly. Want more tips on color shampoos?
Good to know: You may take the Flip-in out of the packaging to assess the color, length, and quality. If the color or length isn’t quite what you expected and the tag is still attached, returning it is no problem at all. However, please make sure that the wire and micro rings are also in new condition.
