Well, hello, everybody and welcome back to my channel and I love what an awkward place. I don't know what else to do with my hands. You are new here. My name is Natasha. You never want to miss a video for me, go ahead and click that subscribe button and also click your notifications. So you know every time I upload in today's video regularly. I don't know why I'm sitting on the floor, i I didn't want to select switch. My whole little routine up, I feel, like I just say, intro in every video and it's not coming off as natural to me. Yes, I'm a super internet person, but this whole thing is just been not so natural, so I'm gon na start filming. However, I feel like filming these days like it's not going to be professional all the time. It'S going to be me just chill today's video, I did show you guys how I create my clip, in extension, how I glue them, sell them, how many Westside use the reason why I started making my own clip in extension, was because I started braiding. My hair up to about the crown of my head, I wanted to make sure the clip ends water thick enough to cover up all my braids. So therefore, normally people get so, and I like to create my own clip in. I started buying some clippings and maybe they just weren't good enough, because the left were super thin and I just looked bald like the rest of my natural hair is out. And then I just have these like little strips of hair. And I was not a fan of that. These are my slippers I'll go ahead and turn around for you, so you can see what I'm working with hello. Oh hello, ghen. Let me remind you guys, cuz. I do braid my hair underneath I do remove my clippings. Every single night, unless it's just one of those nights where I pass out weird, I thought about those nice, I'm making my slip in to look like real hair versus adding more of like this mix in my hair and make sure everything's on point or else so. They'Ll come for me, you already know I use a 14 and folding chair and the reason why I used to choose 10 to 12 inch hair, but my hair, my natural hair, ended up getting longer, so I kind of just adjusted it to 12 to 14 inches. I try not to go any longer than that that we have now got a blend. Now I have to cut the hair, it's just too much, so I'm just a simple girl who wants to experiment with weight, but I just haven't found my perfect wig yet, and I always know what I was doing at this time. So one day I will buy a wig, I'm probably thinking will you braid your hair and you're, taking your clippings out every day? Why aren't you just going to sew in so? I just feel like I don't like anything being attached to my head for a long period of time, meaning I picked these out. I feel like a stowaway there's like claustrophobic on my head. I don't so weird. I don't know like it, it makes me nervous, I don't know, show you guys my nails. If you do not follow me on Instagram, you need to check me out. My nails are beautiful, anyways, I'm so random. I may be like an FYI. The first time you make your own flippant, it's going to take you a while, like at first, you take me like seven hours, because you're sewing every clip to your clip in extensions nowadays. No, it isn't like three hours. I literally grabbed my hair sit down and I am just like yo, that's it. I am good creating my clips and then I go back and watch the hair so yeah. We are good to go good. One see how I make my clip in extensions. Please keep watching and being raised. I'M sitting on the floor today put head and get started so, of course, some of the things that you will need. I have everything laid out. These are some weight clips and I tried to sew each left with at least three to four weekly and you have a column that I can comb through some scissors, just regular cutting scissors. This dream that I use is usually black, but I and out of black and I went to a couple of different stores and they were out as well. I did use gold, but you will see what I do. The blue kind of covers up this string. You'Ll see how I do this and I get the curve needle only because it's just easier to sew at you will need some hair glue. I know you guys have seen this now. It doesn't matter what type of hair you use. It just depends on the texture of your hair. I told you guys in previous videos. I never want to get caught. Listen with likes a different texture hair that does not match mine, so I do have the Bravo Brazilian and Remi yaki hair. This is human hair. What I have in right now is synthetic and I really like it, but I do miss curling, my human hair and this is 14 inches, and then I also get one type of 12 inches as well, so I'm just taking the hair out. I don't know one that I remember to mess them on there so free. I use this hair before and I do like it at last for good seven months, depending on how good you take care of it. This is the 12 inch hair. This is what it looks like, and it just feels so different than my synthetic hair. I'Ve been using hot rollers. If you check out my previous video, you will see that I use hot rollers to curl. My synthetic hair now just use a curling iron again then. I just drop everything on the floor. I fully make a mess. Now, I'm going to open up, you guys will see where you know I'm away underway to open up to 14. No, no, not how many want it open. So we're not going to judge how I'm looking right now, if I don't realize I was going to be on camera. This is the 12 inch hair and, like I said I do leave a lot of my hair out. Here is the 14 inches so come down to about right here I usually don't cut it, but you'll see how I saw both of these hairs to get there to make them beautiful. But this is these synthetic hair that I chopped in right now now, if you need to measure my head or I can use my previous clip in to measure as well and I'm going to start with the 14 inches, I went out to my pool to go. Workout, that's why I was like this. I don't try to make them any bigger. I try to do exactly how wide my head is because I braid my hair underneath so this is my protective styling. I'M just going to go ahead and measure so we're about right here, I'm going to take my scissors and I'm going to cut any hair that I accidentally cut off. I just try to throw that on the floor. I'M going to measure the hair, since I already have probably my head: is I'm going to take the wet and measure another piece and cut it? So I'm just measuring making sure everything is even taking my chairs. Well, the regular scissors. Not here is a lie and cutting once again, so now I have to wet, and then I just place them on top. This is when I start to glue my web. I do about four wet because I like my hair to be pretty big, especially since I am not using this to make my hair fuller. I'M pretending like this is actual my hair. If you're braiding everything there's going to be no hair out, you have to make sure everything Blin I'm going to cut about two more less and then I'm going to glue them. So I'm just going to continue to do the same step and I'm going to measure my left remember. This is the 14 inch air that I'm using? I have one two three four wet now. I show you guys what I'm going to do with them, because I am going to glue them and you do need a blow dryer now remember. This is not for everybody, some people. I don't blame you. If you don't have the patience, I learned how to do it. I basically just cut myself, so I do have the patience to do it. So I'm going to take my first West here is the second on and I'm going to lay this one after I placed some glue right on top, oh crap. That was a lot of glue. I usually don't use that much glue. I don't know what one on picking this West I'm going to place this right on, walk on the. Why I haven't asked in all of a sudden - and I usually like to make my clip in right before I'm - about to get my nails done. So I have an L appointment tomorrow, so I try to do my clip is because I make a mess, not the size of mess, but I do tend to me to mask so I'm just trying to make sure it's not sticking to the paper towel. So I did pick them up and, like I said this is the 14 inch hair that I'm working with right now, but I will blend in the 12 inch hair as well. That also helps with me not having to cut layers in because it's basically layers of spell see that's the trick right there, what you can do it since I am super impatient, I'm grabbing my blow-dryer and I'm just going to blow-dry the West together on high flip, Is not completely dry, but I have it where I want it. You can see how everything just blew off the blower, I'm not even that powerful, like goodness gracious taking my third weft, and I try to make sure they're pinched together very well, because, although I'm sewing them, I don't want them to stick out dragging some more flew. I love them to sit out of my head. I like them to lay flat, especially since okay come on, especially since I braid my hair. I want everything to lace, black taking my third west and laying it on top of the previous one and, like I said, I don't want my wife to be super thick, so I'm trying to pinch down pretty hard on the web. I grabbed my blow dryer once again: nuts I'll fix the left is right now feel free, thin and just comb the hair. So I'm just going through every one of those holes right there. So just grabbing my string, I'm trying to make sure you guys can still see and I'm going through each West just bring the string up. This is how much string I usually use and I'm going through each individual hole. That'S on the clip and you see it gets harder because you're going through every weft, so this is what it's looking like so far, so this side of my clip is done now, I'm going to move over to this side. Remember it gets a little tough because I am going through the West because I want to make sure everything is connected. I don't want none of my clips to fall out. Remember I like to keep you for about six to seven months now you see that the clip is completely sewed on, and I know what you're probably thinking. Why doesn't she just get a sewing machine? I don't know like I really like doing this. It doesn't bother me I'm going to go ahead and cut the string and I'm going to cut the other half of the string as well. We are going to tie them together, the double knot it triple knot, it just getting rid of the extra strain. This is what it looks like I'm hoping that my camera's not going blurry and I can just clip it like I said I know what you're thinking you'll see what I do to all the goals. Once again, we will be repeating the step, so I'm just grabbing another clip. Remember that it's right side up, so what I mean is your Clips teeth are on the outside, not on the inside. So I'm going to go ahead and lay the clip on top. It doesn't matter what side I go for because both sides are going to need to get done grabbing. My string in my needle we're going to do this again. So remember: I'm going through every single part of this clip once the glue tends to dry. The tougher it is to get through for wet is complete, so I have both clips done. The last clip I'm just going to lay that down a little bit towards the edge left is completely done. I just comb the hair out, make sure no hair is sticking to the clip now. This is for the fun part. So this is what it looks like all the wefts are complete. This is the side that I flip on to my head. I'M going to go back in with my glue and I'm going to cover up, so I'm actually going to put glue over the string. That is how I'm able to cover it. So I'm going to take this low place this right over the gold string, and I just used a little bit of glue. I don't care about the inside because nobody is going to see that I just care about the outside, so everything is pretty much black because of the glue, like I said, nobody's going to see the inside I'm going to take my blow dryer. Once again, I do that for a good 45 seconds. That is what the glue looks like. Oh this is the first wet the second one is going to be pretty much the same size. It'S going to be right above it, so I don't. I can measure from this blush so I did finished the other Clips off-camera. It was just easier and I'm going the same exact motion. Let'S go ahead and apply our glue. We are going to place that over the string grabbing my blow dryer you. I have completely finished all my clip in extensions. Remember this is the largest one that's going to go around my head. I don't like the smaller clip in for some reason, like I said, I'm not hiding the fact that I'm wearing clip in so this is just works easier for me. So do whatever works for you, but this has 12 inch hair as well as 14 inch. So this is what it looks like and then, of course, I have my smaller wess that I made except these right on top of each other right on top of the Braves kind of like this, and then I do have two of the same size. More of like the circumference of the middle of my hair, so this one's a little bit larger. Of course I can tell because it doesn't go above so it's going to this is what a thumbs looks like, so this is going to be first, second, the one with the four clips is going to be. Third, this one has four clips, but it's a little bit larger. This goes right on top and last then I have like the biggest left. Once you see it in my head is just going to look a little bit better. I like them to be thick enough to cover up the fact that my hair is braided underneath and I'm not doing this for thickness or fullness. I'M doing this for a protective subtle, so I do make a 5 clip in kitchens. I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial. I hope it was helpful. If you have any comments, please leave them down below.
