I tried searching but the search isn't working for me. I'm sorry if this has been posted before.
 
I love my new d-lux clip ins. They're great! I wanted to order some plastikhaar but was wondering how I could make it into my own clip in? I have no idea where I could order the glue or clips from.

you should poke around the site you already ordered the DLUX hair from, it has the clips and a tutorial about sewing (or gluing) them onto wefted hair

Hi Disasterbarbie!
Maybe you can use the 'search' button on the top right, and type key words like 'clip ins', you'll find a lot of post regarding this topic!

I'm new here, and have been doing a lot of research also.  I seen on yourhairshop.com where they have free demos, and they have one on making your own clip ins.  There are tons of places to get the clips from, try ebay under hair extensions, and as far as the glue, I'm pretty sure they are "sewn" on! 
Hope this helps!

Try to sew the clips on instead of gluing them. You'll have more
confidence in the hold.

I thought so too but I was looking at my d-lux clip ins and they look glued. Maybe I'm wrong.

I've glued em and sewn em and have to say that gluing is faster but sewing is stronger and neater.
Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE!

hmmmm what type of glue.....thread!

but i understand not wanting to pick up a needle, i suck at sewing too but this really is easy

if you insist i have used nail glue (from the beauty supply store, the kind for acrylic nails) to re-stick one clip when my thread came loose (then i sewed it again)

Yeah, I glued once, and yeah, lets just say I am not doing that again!!

I'd say just sew them, it's so much easier than it seems!

I've used krazy glue before and it seemed to hold fine for me .  I used to sew them back in the day and they don't really last forever that way either; sometimes i'd have a clip come loose on me, lol. Also i tried keratin glue back in the day and that seemed to hold pretty well tho removal of clips wasn't as easy as the krazy glue removal. Good luck. sounds like u got lots of op[tions
