"If you have more of a Snow White hair situation going on, but you want to be Rapunzel for the night, then you clicked on the right story. Tommy Buckett, a stylist from the Serge Normant Salon in NYC, shares his secret on getting longer locks in minutes.  First things first: when you&amp;#039;re buying realistic-looking extensions, it&amp;#039;s all about investing in a set \u2014 they can be real or synthetic, depending on how much you want to spend \u2014 that match your hair color perfectly. Keep in mind though that human hair extensions hold up better, because you can shampoo and dry them, curl, flat iron, and style them as you would your real hair. Synthetic extensions don&amp;#039;t blend in as seamlessly, can get tangled easily, and can&amp;#039;t be styled and re-styled over and over. OK, now that you&amp;#039;ve purchased a good set of extensions, here&amp;#039;s how to clip them in yourself: 1. Part your hair and tease it. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ll want to part your hair in line with the arches in your eyebrows \u2014 that way when you eventually flip your hair back over the part you just made it will cover the extension \u2014 and then tease the hair below the part with a rattail comb to give the extension clip something to grab onto, so it won&amp;#039;t slip off,&amp;quot; Buckett says.  2. Take one section of extensions and clip them into the teased hair along the part. Repeat steps one and two on the other side and at the back of your head, so your hair is exactly one length the entire way around. 3. Cut your extensions to make them blend in with your existing cut. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s best to cut up into your extensions, holding your scissors vertically, so the hair isn&amp;#039;t bluntly cut,&amp;quot; says Buckett. &amp;quot;Be realistic on the blending length; leave them four to five inches longer than your natural hair, so they look real.&amp;quot; 4. Curl your hair and the extensions to blend everything together seamlessly. If you&amp;#039;re using synthetic extensions, make sure they&amp;#039;re able to be curled with a hot tool before doing so to avoid any mishaps.Then, set your style with some hairspray. Anna used Garnier Fructis Flexible Control Anti-Humidity Hairspray. Finally, flaunt your new length and Instagram your sexy self while you&amp;#039;re at it.
