How To Make/Sew Clips On Extensions

Hello, everyone, I hope, you're having a fabulous day today. I am Abbi Brooke. If you are new here to my channel, go ahead and subscribe down below, I have a whole bunch of video on a whole bunch of different hair stuff and today we're gon na be doing some more hair stuff. So today I am here at the salon and I'm going to be showing you all how I take my hair extensions and I so some clips on them. I have my hair right here and then I also have my Clips right here. So I got my clips and I got my hair and we are gon na sell them on together. I'M gon na show you how to do it. It'S actually really easy. So don't freak out you got this. What you will need for today is the video is gon na, be some thread, some scissors, some clips and obviously some hair. Once you got all this, oh and a needle, a needle that it works great too. This is just a curved needle, but you can use a regular sewing needle. This is actually a hair extension needle, but you know anything works any kind of needle. We don't discriminate here. No, so if your hair is really long and it doesn't it's not like pre-cut or anything, it just comes in one long bundle that is cool, don't cut it before you sew the clips on and here's why, when you go - and you start sewing the clip on Your extension, if you have it say this far over from the actual clip once you start sewing it and tightening it, it's actually going to move slightly over. So you might end up with a clip. That'S half off so just to be safe, clip it. So at first do as many as you want to cross and then cut it. Let'S get to the most fun part, how to thread the needle. So I have my thread here, I'm literally just gon na take like an arm's length. That'S like quite a lot and then I'm just going to cut the thread. So now there's a dear Liza, you don't like there's a hole in my bucket okay. So I have my thread and I have my two ends right here: got it got it? Okay, so we're gon na take our end here. Can you see this end? We'Re gon na put it in our mouth to make sure that there's no frayed and perfect okay, now we're gon na. Do it all? So if you don't want to do that, you can just not be gross and just cut the ends just like that. That works totally fine too, and then we're gon na. Take our needle we're gon na take your needle. Hopefully you don't have a hella long nails like I do put it through ever so slightly and then pull it oh yeah and then do that, so that the ends are even. I have my two strings right here. I'M gon na combine them into one string. Okay, now I'm just gon na tie a knot. Okay and then I try and do it closer to the end. I'M gon na tie a knot and then obviously that is really small, so I'm gon na go ahead and tie about two more knots and then I just like to pull it so that it goes on top of the old knot. Now this looks good to me. So I'm just gon na leave it with that, but sometimes, if you're, not if your notes, if your notes aren't close enough, your knots are not close enough. Then there will be a little gap. So then, I would just go ahead and put one more so it is nice and welcome to YouTube Iraq yeah I'll link it below she's great with Asian hair. So you should really go. Follow her right now well, watch the video and then go home okay. So these hair extensions are actually for my client right now, so I'm just making single ones, but I'm gon na show you how to do this so that you can make double so two clips on one three clips or four, I probably wouldn't recommend doing four. Otherwise, it's kind of hard to like fit five all the way around. My head - oh my god, lawl, look at the hair color on my arm! Welcome to my life, so we're gon na take our needle and we're gon na hold it up from the countertop, and it helps if you put the clip on just like so so. I want enough room on the side that when the thread pulls the clip really tight, it's gon na move over slightly, so you don't want it to go all the way off of your extension track. So we got our clip here, put it through the first hole and then you're gon na put it through the actual West here, so we're gon na jam it through and then pull the knot to the end. So now it's to the end here, I'm just gon na pull it back slightly and we're gon na take our needle and pull it right through the knot right here and then make sure it's nice and tight here. So now the clip cannot undo from the actual extension so from here I'm gon na do one more, but instead of going through the hole, I'm gon na go through the first clip. This was just my preference here. You can do it through the other holes. You can go, you can loop it all the way through here. This is just personal preference on how tight you actually want your extensions to be perfect, and then I'm gon na do one more loop through there. So I'm gon na pull my needle through and then well. I have this loop here. I'M gon na put the needle through the loop just so it creates an extra knot and bond and then I'm gon na pull this knot towards the back here so that now, when we go to sew the other side, there's not gon na be any funky threads. Going on - and you can already see how much it moved over just from tightening it up here, so it's a good thing. I didn't go any closer, otherwise we'd would be redo in this clip. Okay. So now I'm gon na start from the back forward. Cuz. If I go from the front back again, we're gon na have a loop of thread so now I'm gon na, even if you want to move it and then put it through the actual left and then just put your clip through the circle and pull it. I just go this one straight through so now you can see. The thread goes all the way across here and then I'm gon na do a second one through the first circle again and then this is where i'm gon na take my loop and pull it through. The extension and then i don't really want it to go to the side, so i'm just gon na take my needle and kind of adjust it towards the top and then pull it tight and then now I can do my second one around the corner here. This one out of the way perfect and now we're ready to do another knot. So what we're gon na do is take our trusty dusty scissors cut. You don't want to cut it really close, because you have to tie a knot here, so I'm gon na cut it really close to the needle, and now we have two strings these note that long nails are not good for this and then I'm just going to Start tying a knot this time, I'm gon na, do it with two strings down as opposed to combining them perfect and I'm just gon na do one more cuz. Three is good luck, some and then now I can take my scissors and cut it. Super close to the knots make sure to cut both sides of the knots, and now we have an extension. So if you were going to continue moving the clips along here, then I would just start putting another clip right here. You don't want them really close together, so I would put another one about leave a clip space in between each one and then move all the way down up to four, but because this is a single extension, I'm just going to take it, and I want a Little bit of room on either side, so I'm just gon na cut it, and now we have our extension. I hope you learned something from this tutorial honestly. It'S actually really hard trying to explain how to do something when it's in your head for so long, but I hope you guys took something away from it.
