How to Wear and Blend Side Patches Seamlessly
If you’re noticing a little thinning around your sides or temples, you’re not alone — and honestly, finding the right way to add a bit of volume can make a huge difference. With the right side patch and a few easy steps, you can instantly achieve fuller-looking hair that blends beautifully and naturally. Here’s a simple guide to get you started:
1. Pick the Right Side Patch
First things first: choose a side patch that matches your hair’s texture, length, and color as closely as possible. This is the key to achieving a seamless, natural look.
2. Prep Your Hair
Start with clean, dry hair that’s free from tangles. A fresh base helps the side patch grip better and blend more smoothly.
3. Apply the Side Patch
- Create a section: Part your hair where you want to place the side patch.
- Open the clips: Gently unlock the clips on the patch.
- Align and secure: Position the patch close to your roots and snap the clips shut, starting from the middle and moving outward.
4. Blend Like a Pro
The magic happens here: gently comb your natural hair over the side patch, or use your fingers to blend it softly. The goal is for the patch to disappear into your hair — so natural, that you’ll forget it’s even there.
5. Style and Care
Because Capilus side patches are made with 100% human hair, you can style them just like your own hair (just remember to use a heat protectant!). A few easy care tips:
- Wash after every 6–8 wears with a sulfate-free shampoo.
- Let it air dry naturally for the softest, shiniest finish.
- Store flat or in a breathable pouch to avoid tangling.
- Always remove before sleeping to keep your patch looking fresh longer.
Here at Capilus, we understand how important it is for your hair to feel like your own. That’s why we focus on creating side patches that look natural, feel comfortable, and blend effortlessly into everyday life — so you can step out with confidence, no matter what.
