How to Make Clip-In Extensions
Extensions are a great way to add volume and body to hair of any texture or length. Many beauty supply stores and local salons simply do not carry clip in extensions. It is not difficult to create one or several sets for personal use or for a friend. Here are some quick tips on how to make clip-in extensions.
- Decide on the budget for creating the hair extensions. Order the best quality hair that can be comfortably purchased.
- Search locally and online for tracts of hair. The correct hair to purchase comes on a stitched weft that is rolled into a long length. The length of the tract can be cut to create the clip-in extensions.
- Match the hair texture and color to resemble the current hair style. For example ladies with kinky hair that wear their hair curly should not purchase straight hair. Women with straight hair that desire a slight wave can order hair with a small amount of wave, as long as the majority of the hair is straight. Curling the ends may help the hair blend. Think about texture first, when selecting hair.
- Order or purchase hair clips, a needle, and thread from the beauty supply store.
- Roll the track out and place it against the nape of the neck. Cut strips of hair from ear to ear in the places where additional hair is needed.
- Sew the hair clips on the ends and in the middle of each cut piece of hair. The clips should be on the underside of the tract.
- Clip in the extensions and gently blend the hair together.
Consider wearing the extensions daily or anytime a glamorous look is desired. Clip in extensions can help both men and women that have thin or bald areas. Use these tips to create clip-in extensions at home.
