How To Easily Make Clip- In Extensions For Natural Curly Hair! [Diy Hair Extensions]

I'M always looking at girls on instagram and i envy their curly hair so much it's so voluptuous and my hair is just too fine to get there. So i have length all this length for no reason, because i can't do anything with it. I can do all kinds of product i can blow dry it upside down. It doesn't get any bigger, so i'm going to show you how to bump up the volume without putting heat on your curly hair. So we don't mess it up. So if you're interested in bringing a lot of volume to your curls continue watching, so these are some of my old sew-ins. I just keep this old hair. I didn't know what i would need it for hoarding hoarding, but hey it came in handy. I just washed. It gave it a good conditioning treatment, so this is the natural curl pattern to it, but that's not going to be curly enough, so we have some. Some hair wefts got a bunch of those scissors, a brush, a curling iron, i'm using this paul mitchell, neural wand. Really small some thread black thread because i'm using black hair, if you have blonde hair, then you might want some like white or like more yellow toned thread, a sewing needle and then some little clips to put on it. And i got most of these things on amazon and i'll list, those all in the description below if you're interested in getting like these clips and the needle and all of that. So the first thing we're going to do is this is one like weft of hair. We'Re going to double that up, so there's always going to be two pieces, because you want the hair to be really thick. So i don't just um sew a clip on one piece: we're going to be sewing them together, like this and you're, going to need to create different ones for your head size. So for my head, like if i was going to use this, i know this one can fit here all the way across this, but it's kind of big. So this would be like the biggest way i could go and that's still probably too big. So i'd be a little better using a size like this, you just want to make sure it's going to fit across your head. So, like i can put one right here, one right here, one right there and you can make them a little bit bigger than this or a little smaller, depending on the area you need. So now i have it cut into two pieces. We'Re gon na put those right on top of each other, so we have our needle and we're gon na thread the thread just pull it through there and i just double it up. I don't know if this does anything, but i just pull it all the way down and then i'm going to tie it on the end right here just tie some knots and i try to make those knots like overlap each other. There may be like a method for that, but i don't know it just trying to make it catch on the same knot just so it makes that knot real thick and it doesn't go through the holes there. You see that's a pretty big knot right there and then we have our needle in the end. So now i'm going gon na take one of my clips. I'M gon na put it right here now make sure you clip it and unclip it. So you know that it's facing the right side out, so i have it right on the end and we're just gon na start sewing. So i want that knot to be on the inside. Then i'm gon na just come back around make sure you go on both sides of it. Now i'm going to bring it to the other side right here and just push it through those come back around. I just want to go back around there and we're going to do this several times, because we want to make sure it's super tight. If any of the threads pop, we want to make sure it stays it can get kind of difficult to push through. It will start to hurt your fingers, but you know we've got to have that thick hair. So it's fine and then i'm just come back around here and back and forth this way a couple times, there's only two holes on this that i'm using this one and this one and there's really no method for what i'm doing here. I just want to make sure it holds really tightly now we're going to cut my needle off put that aside, because we're going to knead that many more times and now the same way we tied the knot in the beginning on the needle we're going to tie It right here so go around and just try to make it as thick as possible and as close as possible. So when you have it pretty thick we're going to cut off the end, so that's not sticking up anywhere right there. So now we have one clip bam almost to the fullness, we're looking for so now we're going to do this exact same thing to the other side, you want to keep creating those until you have enough that they can basically fit in your whole head without seeing Them through you don't want to go so much so you start to see them. You just want to place them like every inch or two and then in different sides, because you want to make sure that you have some small enough to fit on this side of your head. Some for this side of your head, some to put right on the crown in case you want to do like add some more like length or fullness to this side. Situation of a little ponytail now, depending on the width of the hair, like the one we created, is a little smaller than this. But for this size i needed three pins because i didn't want it to sag and i'm going to put it here and put it here and that side right there, so it plays three pins. So when it's in your hair, it can be a tighter grip, because the tighter it is on your scalp, the more natural it's going to look. We want it to be as close as possible. Okay, so if you make bigger ones like this, be sure to include three of the pins, if they are any bigger than this, you might want four of the clips now, while our hot tulle is heating up getting ready for us to curl it, i'm going to Show you how i curled these alone, so we have our pins on here and i really couldn't hold it and curl it with a wand at the same time, so i need something to pin it on. So i came into my restroom pinned one right here, just as long as it's barely hanging on this is super fast to do, pin it right there and then i just pinned the other one on another side. Now we have something holding our hair to curl it to make the curls look really natural. You do not have to make it perfect, because if we have curly hair, we know the curls now the trick to curling the hair and making it look. Natural is going to be not being perfect if you have curly hair, you know the curls go all different ways. Some are bigger, some are smaller, so starting in this way doesn't have to stay long. So the first curl goes in like this. So now we're going to turn the other curl in the opposite direction. This is going to give you more volume and make it look more natural and just keep turning them opposite directions and small sections, because our curls are small. Now, once you have all of your individual extensions curled, you know this is not how your curls really look. They don't sit exactly like this and they will be much shorter because we know about that curlage shrinkage, but it's fine. They sit in there like little layers. It blends perfectly um, so what we're going to do is take our fingers and break it up. Just like brushing our curls. We don't want to brush these curls and turn it into little frizzy messes. We just want to break it apart to match our natural curl pattern a little better, and now i'm going to show you how i add mine in so i like to start from the very bottom. So i go and piece it out right here: try not to make my real hair too, too frizzy and then pin the top of this hair up then find a piece that matches the size right there. This is going to be the area of your smallest width. Width of extensions so make sure they're open just go in and pop them like that. Then we're gon na go take another little piece, just pull on them and make sure they're really tight. You don't want them coming out. If you find they're a little loose, you can always take a teasing comb and tease right where you're going to put the comb in and put it right there. I did that a couple times the first time i wore them, but it did start to frizz up my real hair. So i'm trying not to do that when you're placing them just be conscious of the hairstyle you're going to create i'm going to go back to my little hairstyle, where i had a little piece on top. So i want to make sure that's going to make sense with the pieces. I add in this is my hair now with all my extensions in, but look look how full that is this. It makes such a difference and we don't have to put heat on our hair or anything like that to get like a really fun big hairstyle. This makes such a big difference in curly hair, so much more volume. I love this. I'Ve always loved my curls, but i hate how fine my hair is, and this solution has really like saved me. So much grief and i have about 45 metallics in the back of my hair, so every which way it looks like i got a bald spot going. This makes me feel so much more confident with my hair. I mean it's not all mine, but it, but it is mine, you know, and these are in tight, like they are not slide and they are not going nowhere. I hope that you enjoyed this curly hair extension tutorial.
