How To: Make Your Own Clip-In Hair Extensions!!

Hey guys so today I want to teach you how to make your own clip in hair extensions um. I decided to make this video a because I'm making new clip in hair extensions, and I figured show the world how I do it um and be because the first time I made my own clip, ins was kind of like before the whole YouTube tutorial thing took The world by storm, so I didn't really have a video - was showing me how to do it. I kind of just had to look at hair extensions. I already had and see how they were put together and kind of just try it myself. It'S really easy um. You don't even really need a tutorial to show you how to do it if you already had some, but I figure why not um? I am obsessed with hair extensions. I haven't worn mine in a long time because i had the ombre hair color and I thought it would just look weird if you had like light on bottoms and layers of dark hair going through it. Although it may be a trend in like a couple months, who knows these things come and go but um? I first had hair extensions when I was in college and I had the ones that you bonded in. I worked at a salon and everyone had them, and I just I caught the fever - and you may say, and my husband who was just my boyfriend at the time, was kind enough to shell out a lot of money that I can get them. They were very expensive um and I loved them and unfortunately, I had to take them out after a few months cuz, they, you know, go out with your hair and I had the bonds so they slip off and everything - and I was gon na - get them again And the girl who put them in originally was like, oh sure, where I'll do it for you for three hundred and fifty dollars, plus the cost of hair. It'S like it's like well crazy because, like I said, my hair was expensive and less time she did it for like a hundred bucks. So no thank you. So I was desperate and my little little mariani. Oh I little she gave me her old hair extensions, her old clippings and I used them forever and then um. They were a little bit shorter the length and I wanted a little bit longer. So, as my hair grew out, I went and I bought new ones. So um I try to find clip-ins already made that they didn't really have them. So I was like you know what I'm just going to make my own. So I went to this kind of ghetto Beauty Supply place up in moorestown, where I was living at the time and I bought all this stuff, and this is how we make them. So what you're going to need, first and foremost, is the hair, so you can buy it hair. This is what it looks like um. It comes on like a thing like this and you're going to need one package of these. I bought just like really old but um. The package looks like this and you can see there's already hangar, it's called hair impulse, creating style, and this is what it looks like when you buy it um. I love this because, like I said, there's already hair in there, which is my our my old extensions, but it came from the same thing like this is all leftover hair and this is going to be enough to make like a whole nother set. So you were it's, it was about eighty dollars, i'd say, and you really get your money's worth because there's a ton of hair in these things and you only need three sections of it and you can pretty much make two different. So i was using those i had them for about two, maybe three years now, yeah, probably like two or three years and they're perfect, it's real human hair, so you can wash them. I color them when I color my hair, so they match um, you can style them. I blow dry them and looks like there's a gray in here um. I style my blow dry them. I curl them fun iron them. Whatever you want to do. Just um be careful, i'm going to make a whole separate video later on, how to put them in and then another one on how to style them. But i'm just getting ahead of myself just be careful with how much you do because i'll show you this hair compared to that hair. This is in much better condition. That'S like kind of frazzled and whatnot. But what do you expect? It'S hair um! You can't really cut it and let it grow out, get healthy again, because it's like this, so a little thing of hair. I don't know what someone I had like a name for what this thing is called, but I can't remember sirs, hair um, and then you need these snap clips, which are, i just bought them today, they're about two dollars a package and it's you get three. So I want a few, is that you have enough for all of them and then you need thread the needle and scissors. So the first step is you want to take your hair and what you want to do and unroll. The whole thing here see. This is like way more than enough um. You want to measure out by section, so the first thing you're going to do is measure out. I generally put them in right above, like the nape of my neck, so like about here, maybe even like lower. You just want to make sure you have enough hair, so the clips can grab it. Let me do is click this up with a clip and then what you want to do is measure it out, so the one the bottom piece is going to be the shortest. So i'm going to say about i'll leave out here, so you mark it with your finger like this and then you just cut it see. Now some hair will come out from where you cut the debond, but don't worry it doesn't unravel anything. So this is going to be what your bottom piece looks like it's going to go great in here. You don't want to make it too long, because then, if it gets too long - and you don't have like as much hair on the sides, there's nothing for it to grip into so and as everyone can tell, this is what my natural hair looks like it's little. Lioness s, which is why it's up and trying to be contained. So then we take some thread. Okay and then you want to make sure you so the clip onto the right side, because it there are two different sides. I don't know if you can tell what this looks like on this side, so you want to make sure it's on the inside. Take this and for the smaller pieces, you probably only need two clips. Sorry have already posted a no, let's discuss, you take your thread and needle and you can use a thicker thread like sometimes I use a little bit thicker just to make sure it holds. Well, then, you take the clip and you want to make sure you so the clip on the right way as well, because this can be a little deceiving. So when the clip is closed, it kind of bows out know if you can tell like that, you want it so that when you open it, there's a little black thing really mad at this. I'M kind to see you want it so that lays against the hair. So basically, the diggy part that digs into your hair is facing out. So what you want to do is line it up against the edge of the extension like this, and just so. You just go through a couple times: Flint nice and tight and you're going to go through the track of the hair, that's sewed itself and if you're, using thinner thread like I am, I just go through like a couple extra times, just to make sure it really Holds you tie it off okay through and then we're gon na do it. I can so I'm gon na finish doing this piece and I'll show you guys what it looks like when I'm done hi guys so, okay, I finished like 20 minutes later, I'm just kidding it doesn't take that long, don't don't panic. So this is what it looks like when it's all finished and what you should be able to do is clip it right in to where you measured and that'll, be your bottom piece now. The next piece that we're going to measure out you do from like right. Above the tops of your ears, so we're gon na you want to make it high enough so that high enough above your ear, so that it doesn't kind of sit on your ears and give you that annoying poking feeling so part your hair right above your ears. Oh, I should don't listen straight hairy leg, ala, grrrrrr, ok, so now you're going to take the hair that you have left and what you're going to do is put it around, and you want it to be like from here like right behind your ear to right. Behind your other ear, so probably not even that long, so it's going to be about for me about this long from finger to finger. So what you do is cut that piece right up between the Fonz. There you go so what I'm gon na do is so for, let's see, let's measure it out. Three four yeah I'll put um four clips on this one and when I'm all finished, I will show you what it looks like hi guys. So during our commercial break, we'll say what i did is. I finished sewing the middle piece which looks like this. It has four clips, and that is the one that goes above your ears, and i also measured, and so the last piece which is i'll show you guys you want to take it like by. I guess kind of, like your eyebrows, a little bit higher because the middle piece - good less, you look. Let'S do it. Mykko start here. Um. The middle piece goes above your ears. So then, this piece is going to go a little bit higher, but not too high, because you want to make sure you have enough hair in the back to cover the clips. So, as usual, you kind of put your hair up, and i already measured it out, but i'll show you guys. This is the last piece, and that goes like this from like around the crown, so I'm gon na take this now put all of this up cuz. My hair is a little crazy, looking okay, so now you have the last piece which, like I said, goes like a little bit higher you measure out, then your eyebrows and it's going to have three clips, and this is what it looks like when it's finished and The cool thing about these is, if you buy three packs of the clips the snap clips, they each come with three. So you end up having just enough because you use two on the bottom piece. So then you have one left over, and that gives you four for the middle piece and then you have three left for the top piece and, like I said these clippings that I just made. I had left over from equipment - and I had already made like a while ago - and I literally have just enough hair, and then you have this little piece left over um, which what I like about these this whole wad of hair is um. You can make you can buy more snap clips and then make little individual pieces like this and then kind of fill in where you need them, whereas you wouldn't be able to put a whole piece in so um. This is 18 inches of hair and I think for hair like this, that comes bound together already, that is the longest you can find. I'M not positive. Don'T quote me on that, but as long as I could find because I wanted longer, but this is 18 inches and the shorter you go like if you're shorter hair, you probably won't need 18 inches because it won't blend as well. It'Ll probably be a little bit cheaper, like I said this was around eighty dollars give or take um with the snap clips they're about two to three dollars: a pack for three um, so altogether, you're, probably just under a hundred dollars, which is considerably cheaper than buying Hair extensions and paying someone to put them in for you, and these you could use all the time take them out, put them in I've, worn them out before and by the end of the night. I didn't feel like where I can import just snap them out and put them away, and that's that um, so they're really easy. It is time consuming to sew the clips in so definitely do it when you have an afternoon or you don't mind doing it in a process. You know here and there um, so that's it. I'M going to make another video later to show you guys how to put them in and then i'm going to make another video after that to show you guys how to style them so stay tuned and say hi to boogie, say: hi, boogie, hey, hi, hi, she's, Gon na good mood: okay, that's good um! So that's it! I hope that this helps you guys. I don't know if it's a little too long or what not, but that is how to make your own clip in hair extensions.
