Turning Clip-Ins Into Permanent Sew-In Extensions (Best Method 2021)

Hi welcome to radiant salon. Look at this gorgeous transformation. We got here amazing. Before and after for today, we use the boheme clip and hair extensions because she wanted to get something a little bit more affordable. So this is the first of three rows to kind of get as much volume as possible. I had her cut out the clips, so i can use them as well, and i kind of mix both the clip in hair and another bundle of hair. She brought from outside i'm not sure what it is and i'm mixing these two different bundles of hair throughout to give her the color and everything that she wanted. Now, moving on to the second row, again, i'm parting pretty close to the other one, because i want to get as much volume as i can with the three rows. If you guys want a video on parting, i can definitely do that because that's like something that i can really go into detail on, but for these bottom two rows i did the braided weft and i spray a little bit of water on her scalp to make The braiding a little bit easier. I always do this on straight hair. My braids are very thin and secure and, as you can see, i'm using extensions, i have this nice color. I think it's color 12 extensions and you see the way i divide it into two and then fold the hair to do the cornrow again. I can do another video kind of going more in depth as to how i do my cornrows. This is how i do all of my cornrows black and white people hair, but for white people hair. It'S like really it's different, it's a bit harder, but i still got it really nice and flat. So here in the back, i have the two cornrows i make. The ends just quite short, so it doesn't get bulky at all and then i sew the ends down onto the hair and i kind of pull it with a thread to make it even flatter. And it's not bulky as possible. And then i cut off the extra expression hair so that that is not left out. This is so important. So now i'm showing you how i add the extension so because this hair has a bit of a thick weft, i'm kind of staggering the placement, i'm not putting all three at the same point so that it's not too bulky. So i kind of put two wefts and i try to add the third, but then the second wife slipped out because of the way i sewed it down. The mistake i made was trying to change directions when you sew. You do not want to change directions if you're going left. You want to keep going left until you reach the end and then go right, because when you try and change directions, that's when the wefts are going to get messed up and the sewing is going to be really messy. So you want to keep that same direction and again i'm just kind of placing it in a staggered way like. I would recommend re-watching that part to really observe how i staggered the hair. That'S how you need to stagger it to make sure it's not too bulky. So there i was just you know, tying the threads together to continue sewing and i can just keep going like that, and i sew over this multiple times like two three times to make sure it is very, very secure and does not come out. I usually never have problems with my clients with it falling out very rare if it does, and if it does, i let them just come in and i do a quick fix for them. So for the top row i decided to do the braidless weft, because i just want her to try it out. She'S, never done it before also because her wefts are a bit thick um. The braidless weft is a little bit thinner, so i just wanted to do that on the top to make sure everything is as thin and natural as possible. So here i'm adding the beads and securing them with my clamp. As you can see, and then at the front you can see the placement that i have it and i double check the front. I kind of pull the hair back to see and make sure that the bead does not show you right here. I'M pulling it back just to make sure it's well hidden. You can see that it is not showing so now that everything is good. I go back over all the beads with the clamp just one more time to really make sure it is very, very secure. I do not want these beads slipping out and then i measure the weft and i cut it and again i got i start sewing again. I am you know staggering. The wefts i put that ombre one at the front and i'm sewing that on first just to make sure it's secure and then i'm going to add the fully blonde one into the second bead. So it's a bit staggered about. Like half an inch and then i sew it on, i love the braidless method. I honestly love both. It really just depends on the personal preference of the client, i think, but she wanted this ombre hair on top, because she's trying to grow out her hair. I know the color doesn't match perfectly, but she picked this color out by herself and she wanted this color. So i just let her put this in her hair, but now i'm cutting to blend the extensions the main way. I think she didn't want very many layers. So i'm just cutting at the front to blend the hair into her shorter natural hair. As you can see, i'm cutting some layers and that really helps blend the extensions and then i'm thinning out the the ends of her hair on the top with some thinning shears. The main reason i'm doing this is honestly because the color didn't match perfectly her. Real hair is a tiny bit more blonde than the extension, so i thinned out her real hair just to kind of help it blend in a little bit more and that honestly did help a lot thinning out. The top is sometimes something i will do and then now i am just cutting the ends to make sure the sides match, because she had a side part. The row was placed a little bit higher on the side that she parts and when you do that, it actually makes the bottom of the hair shorter on one side, so i just cut the other side to match and then just kind of cut it. The ends. A little bit this hair wasn't too bad, but sometimes the extensions the ends can be a little thin. I always try to cut that off. The customer doesn't mind now. The other stylist is curling the extensions because she wanted to create for a picture. We use the babeless straightener, we love the straightener so much, but she's just curling the hair to get these beautiful nice curls. These are gon na, definitely fall throughout the day, so they're a little bit tighter in the salon - and this looks so beautiful. You can see she was like feeling herself looking in the mirror. It looks so great, and this is kind of the hair in action. It looks so naturally cute. She was so happy with it. Thank you guys so much for watching this video.
