Sewing Wefts into Clips

3. What do you need to make homemade clip-in extensions?

With hair2heart real hair wefts and the appropriate clip-in accessories from our online shop, you can easily make clip-in extensions yourself. Here are the items you'll need:

• Real hair wefts in the correct length and color
• Replacement clips
• Scissors
• Needle and thread
• Glue

Once you have all the necessary extension supplies, you can start making your first clip-ins using this guide:

1. Cut the hair wefts to the desired width.
2. Seal the open ends of the wefts with a small amount of glue.
3. Layer multiple strands if necessary to create beautiful and dense clip-in extensions.
4. Carefully sew or glue the hair layers together at the top.
5. Place a clip on the left and right sides as well as in the middle of each weft.
6. Sew the clips onto the weft using a needle and thread.
7. Securely knot the end of the thread.

Important: When making clip-in extensions yourself, make sure to attach the clips to the rubberized side of the weft. This way, your homemade clip-ins will stay securely in your hair.

4. Can you sew clip-in extensions?

Customers who make their own clip-in extensions often ask us if it's possible to sew clip-in extensions themselves. In general, sewing clip-ins into flip-in extensions is not a problem. Simply attach a transparent nylon thread to the two ends of the weft to create flip-ins. This allows the hairpiece to be flipped over the head like a headband and seamlessly integrated into the natural hair. The clips that you previously attached when making clip-in extensions yourself do not need to be removed, as they prevent the hairpiece from slipping.

5. How many clip-in extensions do you need?

If you want to make clip-in extensions yourself, the number of clip extensions you need depends on:

• The thickness of your natural hair
• The circumference of your head
• The desired end result

To accurately calculate how many clip-in extensions you need to make, start by measuring the circumference of your head. Then calculate the number and size of the wefts required. Usually, 5 to 10 hairpieces are sufficient for hair thickening or lengthening. For thin hair, making a 5-piece set of clip-in extensions is enough. For those with thicker hair, we recommend making a set of at least 10 clip-in extensions for a truly wow effect.

Tip: When making clip-in extensions yourself, it's important to choose wefts in the appropriate width for a natural result. For the back of the head, we recommend using 15-30 cm wide real hair wefts. For the side sections, make 5-10 cm wide clip-in extensions yourself.

6. How much can you save by making clip-in extensions yourself?

If you have the time and skill, you can save costs by making clip-in extensions yourself. However, to make it worthwhile, it's important not to skimp on the purchase of hair wefts for your clip-ins. If you invest in high-quality wefts made of Remy human hair, you can expect costs ranging from 65 to 190 euros per pack. Additionally, you'll need accessories like clips and a good pair of scissors to make clip-in extensions yourself. Considering the amount of time it takes to make clip-in extensions, the savings are usually less significant compared to purchasing a complete clip-in extension set.
