How To Make Clip Ins For Textured Hair | Step By Step Tutorial | Niara Alexis

Foreign, so we're starting off this video a little different, I'm going to take you through the full process of how I prep my hair and how I um sew it onto the track and everything or sew it onto the clips. So I have three bundles here um. I will leave a link below to this exact hair. I can't remember the lengths, but it's three bundles. It'S like 14 16-18. I think if that's wrong, it'll pop up here on the screen, I knew I wanted something that had a curl pattern that I needed to blow out. I did not want tracks that were already silky straight, because my hair isn't silk. It'S a shampoo I'm using this is a Garnier Fructis, Pure Clean silicone, free purifying, shampoo, whatever shampoo you use on your hair, will work fine for your tracks, all right now, I'm about to put a rinse on them. This is the rinse that I use. I get it from my local Beauty Supply, so look for this brown bottle. You see and it's B18 darkest Brown, okay, I'll link it down below, because I bought it off of Amazon before too. If you can't find it at your beauty supply, I only use that one bottle, though, for these three bundles, I don't feel like you need, like a ton foreign, to just a single track like this. This is a super thin straggly clipping. Okay, I'm gon na kind of measure my head and where I would like for these to go so that I know how many Clips I need to put on them. Since I know this is my longest length. I know somewhere down here. I'M gon na have these tracks down here towards the bottom, so I'm going to measure this out the thing when you're measuring your hair out, though, don't go from like hairline to hairline, because you can't clip the clips onto your hairline. I don't know, can y'all see that like about right there? I think my hair is on top of it, but hopefully I can see so I know from the end until here this is gon na be my first track, so it looks small, but I know that this is because it's going to be towards the nape of My neck further down - and I would suggest you do that for all of them. Okay, also, this is the thread that I'm using. This is the package it came out of, and it also had the needles up here too, so it came with red and needles um. It'S dark brown. I don't think it really matters. What color you shoot as long as it's not like so different, like it's not the same color but whatever. So I make a knot, double knot. It and that's my thread. Okay, so I wanted to show y'all something really quick before I start sewing these on. So I have two clips here: they look the same right, look very similar one, just kind of has like the slant to it. One thing that you have to be super aware of is the holes on your Clips to make sure that the needle can go through otherwise you're gon na have a really hard time. So if you see here, I can take this needle and pull it all the way through same thing on this end, okay, now this is another clip that I have here right. This works, if I take it through this hole, so I don't know why this hole over here is smaller, but, as you can see, my needle can't get through there so just pay attention to your holes. Your first thing, I'm going to want to do is secure. My tracks together, you don't just want to go and start sewing on, like your Clips with in your tracks, are not secured together. I start from the inside, so I'm going to take it in here at the very end like as close to the end as you can get, and I start from the inside, because I want my knot. Where is it? I want my knot to be inside of here like kind of hidden. I don't want it sticking out. All I'm going to do is just take this around to the other side because see how it's coming out of the front now on the back side, so I'm gon na take this in. If I just sew together, these two ends. It'S just kind of like this Gap in the middle. You can sometimes tug at them and things like that. So what I'm going to do is I'm gon na just like very quickly stitch together this entire um track up here, but just make sure your um not pulling it so that it's warped. You see that like. If I pull it too tight. It'S kind of bended up and everything just release it. That means you just have a little bit too much tension because you just want it to be flat. First things: first, when you're taking the clip, have to remember the clip. This part that Clips outward is a part that needs to clip onto your hair. Do not put your clip on like this with this black band part facing you, okay, this is the inside of the clip you're going to be so mad when you go and put all these clips on and they're like okay time to put my clippings in and You snap them and realize the clip is facing the inside and you can't even put them on to remind me. I just make sure I unclip it like I snap it open just so that, like it's just a reminder to me so that I don't put it on the wrong way same thing, I'm going to do here is go from the inside. I'M gon na try to get as close to the end as I can. You see I'm kind of going like at an angle and I'm going to take it through the hole and my knot, I'm just going to make sure it's really in there. It'S tucked in there and I'm just gon na pull pretty tight on it just and it's going to make sure that it pulls all the way down so see. Now I have a clip where none of my knots are on the outside. Oh so now to make my way over, because I don't want that much thread through it, and I think these like little um stitches, I did up here, will kind of help. Keep it down. I'M gon na bring the needle under them. Otherwise, you just have like a loose thread up here and I've done that before and you could easily like comb that like snag it all that type of stuff foreign, this. What I'm going to do is separate the hair and I'm going to take the needle and I'm going to thread it through here and I'm going to bring it out through the middle of or in between the tracks and then I'm going to knot it off. Inside of here, so you have seen me, make the clip-ins and everything. So I just wanted to show you how it matches with my hair when it's blow dried, I'm about to go ahead and install them and everything, but that will be in another video. So make sure you check back okay, so these are the clip-ins okay. So I'm going to give y'all a rundown of how many I made. I have one two three, four, five, six, seven, eight nine ten eleven twelve tracks in total; okay, I'm gon na break them down for you for my longest length of hair um, which I can't remember what it was. It'S either 16 or 18 inches it'll pop up on the screen. I have two clip-ins of that. One of the clip-ins has three Clips on them. The other has four. So this is a big one. These are gon na go lower down because these are gon na. Add the length for me: okay, so for my next length I have three clips and these are two clips on them. So these are shorter tracks. Okay, so one two three then for my shortest length, I have three clip-ins as well or three tracks as well, and these each have two clips on them too. One of them is a little longer, but it didn't need really. I felt like a clip in the middle it. I definitely could have put a clip in the middle, but I didn't feel like it needed one um. So it's a little bit longer and it has two on them and then the shorter ones also have two of them and they're like right next to each other. For my last four pieces, these are single little Clips. That'S what I call them like. It'S like a really small track and I feel like these are good for like placing up front or like just filling in any gaps where you see like you need some extra volume. So I made two with my shortest length and then I made two with my longest length. So as far as like how many Clips I used in total, I have one two: three: four: five: six: seven: eight: nine ten, eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen. Sixteen Seventeen eighteen. Nineteen, twenty Twenty One Clips. One other note I wanted to leave you guys with. I am going to link this hair down below for you guys, but I personally would not suggest it. This is the longest length - it's very nice and full up here, but once you get down here, it's like very, very thin. You see that so that is it. I hope that was helpful for you guys. I hope you all enjoyed this video and make sure you stay tuned, because I am I'm about to actually style my hair with these right now, so how I install and style them and everything that should be going up soon. Okay, thank you guys so much for watching, and I will see you next time.
