Change your style as often as you change your mind! If you love the look of hair extensions but are short on time and money, you should definitely opt for the clip-in weave.  Jessica Simpson made clip-in hair extensions famous with the launch of her hair extension line, "HairDo". Clip-in hair extensions allow you the flexibility to change up your style at a moment's notice and look more natural than the typical sewn-in weave. With clip-in hair extensions, you can maintain your regular hair care regimen by removing the extensions whenever you like! Go from short to long instantly! It takes a little bit of patience to get started, but once you finish, you'll love the results. Plus, who has time to sit in a chair for 8 hours to get a fresh weave all the time!

Here's what you'll need:

  • Take a trip to your local beauty supply store and select your preferred weave hair.  (We recommend investing in quality hair, as you'll be able to wash and reuse your clip-in hair frequently)

  • Purchase hair clips for extensions. (Normally they come in packs of four and are inexpensive)
  • Cut your weft to the desired length
  • Be sure to have your needle threaded with about 12 inches of thread
  • Place the hair clip on the seam of the hair weft.
  • Sew the hair clip onto the seam of the hair weft and make sure it is secure. The seam will lay flat against your head.
  • Space your hair clips about 2-3 inches about and repeat the aforementioned steps
  • Continue with the remaining hair wefts
  • Once hair clips are sewn onto the wefts, you can place them on your head however you would like (similar to a glue-in weave)
