**I Made Clip-Ins**

[AudraChanell]

I made two weave clip-ins/B] by sewing wig clips onto tripled, 14", wet-n-wavy tracks. I choose wet-n-wavy so I can wear them either wavy or straight. When the two clip-ins are worn together it mimics my ideal weave, but because I tripled the clips I can wear either alone. I made one for my nape (4 clips) and the other to run ear- to-ear (7 clips). I used a Youtube vid to sue me how to anchor the clip.

I used:
Large Wig Clips
Small Wig Clips
14" wet n wavy weave (but I maxiglided it)
Weaving Thread
Straight Sewing Needle

The pic below is my MaxiGlided hair and the Clip-ins. I will update the photo once I put them in!

Well done you they look really neat - good job!

I made my own too, when I was wearing a weave as it meant I didn't have to rely on a technician to get them re-sewn, could wash more often, move them around the head so the same hairs weren't stressed..... the list is endless.

I was thinking about it today actually. Do you know whether it could be done with really expensive indian temple hair - would you trust yourself?

Nice job! It looks really good.

 

[AudraChanell]

Thanks ladies, hmmm, I think I would. This was my first attempt and Im satisfied.

 

[AudraChanell]

Its isnt styled of course and my actual hair is a wreck.

Good work, I dont even bother to sew the hair to the clip.
You use more clips than me too, I only put 3 on a track that is going from ear to ear...
Are you planning on keeping it in for more than one day at a time?--your method looks super secure.

I made some a LONG time ago they are so simple! your's look nice!

 

[AudraChanell]

Thanks No, I plan to take them out at night and I plan to make a few more sets out of 16", 18", and slightly colored haior just for versatility. Hmm, how are you attaching the slips Long Legs??

 

[AudraChanell]

Thanks, Roux Yes they are and Im so upset I waited this long to try them.

 

[AudraChanell]

Do you all make a braid to attach the clips to? I just put them on my straight hair and feel like I want a 2" braid at the sides or something. All of my hair is free and out.

omg Ive been wanting to make some for a minute love them good job!

 

[bgsix]

Looks great! Do you mind posting the YT video link that u followed?

 

[Tiye]

Looks good. I like the idea of just using two of them. I've been planning to make a set but I'm lazy about it - this looks quicker.

 

[Distorted Barbie]

looks good!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This post is right on time for me! so you only made two clip-ins with 3 wefts for each clip-in set? I hope I'm saying that right. Either way that's genius! I've wanted to try this but I don't want to "mess up" . I like the idea of using wet and wavy hair...I think that would blend so much better with my texture!

Thanks No, I plan to take them out at night and I plan to make a few more sets out of 16", 18", and slightly colored haior just for versatility. Hmm, how are you attaching the slips Long Legs??

I just wedge the track in!
When I first did it, I planned on sewing them on, then I saw that I could be lazy and just pop the clip open, kinda stick the track in there and then just clip it in--it lays flat too, but yours are so much more professionally finished!

 

[AudraChanell]

OKay, I will go look for the link and update. Also, Im making 18" clip-ins tonight!! I love this concept

 

[AudraChanell]

Its like this guy's video has vanished; I watched it on my iphone Youtube lol. He is dancing at the beginning of the video and he's been a stylist for 10-15 years? Still looking

 

[Russet]

Is it any bulky when you put both of them on? Or would you recommend only doubling the tracks if you're planning on using more than one track?

 

[wheezy807]

You did a great job! It blends in well with your hair from the pic. Nice!

 

[AudraChanell]

Hi, thanks! I just finished making two 18". I plan to dye my hair and MaxiGlide tonight.

I only used three clips per weft this set, but I did triple up the tracks. Because it's 18" I have to wear them together. Here's the tutorial I used to sew in the clips on my first attempt.

[Russet]

Wow!, looks amazing

18" clip ins

NICE! It looks so natural. I just finished sewing the clips on mine. It's a cheap 12 inch human hair I just picked up to try out. I thought the 12in would be longer but it's the same length as my hair. Oh well, I'll just use it for thickness. Since I have the hang of it now I'll probably buy a 16in later and make a longer set.

 

[MrsWatson]

I've been working on making my own clip in's for a good 2 weeks now. You just gave me the motivation to finish them. Yours look really nice!
