(2026)"},"content":{"rendered":"

Having a broken clip can be very frustrating, and it prevents you from wearing your extensions. If one or more clips are broken or damaged, the hair won\u2019t be secured on your head correctly, and there\u2019s a big chance it will fall out. So, knowing how to sew clips is very important. You can buy either individual clips or sets if they are cheap. So, if you want to change the placement of the clips on your weft or make a four-clip weft out of a three-clip weft, for example, sewing the clips is the way to do it.<\/p>\n

To learn how to sew clips on hair extensions, please check out this simple guide. The process is very easy and takes very little time. Don’t be discouraged because the things you need are already at home.<\/p>\n

What You Need<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. A weft (or wefts) of hair<\/li>\n
  2. A needle and a thread<\/li>\n
  3. High quality hair clips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n
  4. A pair of scissors<\/li>\n
  5. A brush<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How to Sew Clips on Wefts?<\/h2>\n

    \"How<\/p>\n

    Before you start, if you\u2019re replacing a broken clip, you must remove it by carefully cutting threads off from the weft.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. You first want to take a long thread (approximately twice as long from your elbow to your wrist) and cut it off. Now is the time to get the thread through the needle. This can be tricky; you may have to try a few times before it goes in. Take both ends together and make a tight knot.<\/li>\n
    2. Put the clip on the weft, wherever you want to place (or replace) it. Get the needle through the first hole. Double-thread the first hole and make a knot to secure the clip on the weft. If you have a thread sticking out, you can cut it off. This way, you won\u2019t be able to see it and won\u2019t have threads sticking out of your extensions. To make it even more secure, stick the needle through, wrap the thread around it three times, and then pull it through. You can repeat that process one more time on the same hole.<\/li>\n
    3. Repeat step number two on all the other holes. Make a couple of additional knots when you get to the last hole. Cut the extra thread off, and you\u2019re done!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      How to Make Custom Clip in Extensions?<\/h2>\n

      \"How<\/p>\n

      If you want to make your clip-ins, you can do this by buying a very wide weft of hair<\/strong><\/a>, you can buy those cheap, and clips (you will need at least 20 clips).<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. You need to measure where you want to put your clip wefts. Since you\u2019re making your custom-made extensions, you can choose where to place the hair and trim wefts according to that.<\/li>\n
      2. Now measure where you want your four clip weft to be, which is probably somewhere around where your temples are, on the widest part of your head. Cut it from your big weft.<\/li>\n
      3. You also need to measure where you want your two clip wefts to be, which usually go on both sides of your head, near the top. Now, cut two wefts with those measurements.<\/li>\n
      4. When you\u2019re done cutting, you should have two two-clip wefts, two three-clip wefts, and one four-clip weft. That is what you usually get in a set of clip-in extensions.<\/li>\n
      5. Now it\u2019s time to sew the clips on the weft. The process is pretty straightforward. For the two clip wefts, you need to sew in two clips on both sides. For three clip wefts, sew three clips, two at the ends and one in the middle, and four clips on the four-clip weft. Make sure to apply them carefully, following the sewing guide.<\/li>\n
      6. That\u2019s it! You have just made your custom clip-in extensions! You can play around with the number of wefts and the number of clips. It all depends on what fits you best, and now that you know how to do it yourself, you can experiment. Applying them is also very simple and can be done in less than 10 minutes. That\u2019s the magic of clip-in extensions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Conclusion <\/h3>\n

        You have just learned not only how to sew clips on wefts but also how to make your custom clip-in extensions! Those are great skills to know. If this process seems like too much work for you and you\u2019re not very good with needles and scissors, you can simply buy our clip-in extensions<\/strong><\/a> that are ready to wear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
