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!
