About This ArticleArticle SummaryX To make clip-in hair extensions, start by stretching a hair weft against your head in a U-shaped pattern from just behind one ear to just behind the other, then cutting it to the right width. Once you’ve measured and cut 1 weft, you may want to cut 1-2 more, depending on how thick and long you want your hair to look. Then, sew the wefts together, or use bonding glue to stick them together, letting the glue dry completely before you continue. Finally, use a needle and thread to sew extension clips to the middle and both sides of the weft, and you’re good to go! To learn how to make halo hair extensions, scroll down!

Did this article help you?Can you make hair extensions out of your own hair?It's possible to buy loose hair (rather than hair that is pre-attached to a weft) for much cheaper than packs of hair wefts. Although it is possible to make your own hair extensions using loose hair, the process is very difficult and time consuming, so it is not recommended.
Can you add hair extensions to thinning hair?Hair extensions are ideal for people experiencing overall hair loss, rather than hair loss in several specific areas. Extensions attach underneath a top layer of hair, adding all-around volume.
