Hey there! I've just purchased some hair extensions that I want to make into a clip in set, and I have no clue how many pieces to make, what the dimensions should be, and how many snappy clips to put on each one. I could really use some help from anyone who knows how to do this. Thanks =)

I bought a set of clip in extensions that were pre-cut and already had clips on them. The way they were cut works out great. It was four-1 1/2"(one clip each), two-6"(three clips each), one-7"(three clips), and one-9"(five clips). The directions for using them are-- 1. Make a horizontal part about 2 inches above the nape of your neck and place the first 6" piece as close to the hairline as possible. Start clipping with the center clip first, then pull and secure the others.2. Make another horizontal part about one inch above the previous piece and place the second 6" piece in the same manner as the first. 3. Make another horizontal part about one inch above the previous piece. Using the 7" piece, follow the steps above. 4. Make another horizontal part about one inch above the last piece and attach the 9" piece(this piece should rest across the widest part of your head) 5. The 1 1/2" pieces are used to frame your face in the front. Put them where they look the best. Make sure that they are at least one inch away from your part and one inch away from your hairline so that they won't show. I have found that attaching the 1 1/2" pieces on an angle works best...they do not show that way when the wind blows. Hope this help! They tend to be a little heavy at times but you will get used to it soon enough.

Ihad hair extensions in the 80's and 90's. They were real human hair that were sewn in and required 'tightening' every 3-4 weeks. I also had hair extensions that were glued in. What a mess they were, but, needed maintenance only every three months or so.
Clip on hair? Like the informercials? I have only seen them at swap meets, I don't think they are meant to be anything but fun hair additions. I think you are putting too much work into it but try using hot glue to join the clips with the hair. Peanut oil was used to slide the glued extensions out of my hair, I would assume it would work if you needed to undo your clip hair.
Good luck.

I would say, measure them to your head. That way your extension will fill up your whole head. This extension you should use at the bottom part of your head so that it will create lenght. As for the clips in each one, I would go with 3; one on each end and the third one in the middle.

Sorry to say, but I would nix this idea pronto. Fake hair clip ons are sooooooo obvious and generally look really tacky.

ask a local hair beautician or use the one you already have to try to see how much more volume you will want.
