Making Clip on Extensions

hi everyone,  I'm new to the boards, so I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, but here goes.

I don't wear extensions (never have) but I've been reading about them here and there because I've been losing my hair for a few years now (mostly on top, crown area).

I can't wear my hair down, which totally sucks.  And I also have a lot of trouble even putting it back in barrettes or anything, because of the lack of volume.  I discovered EZ streaks http://www.humanhairpieces.com/PRODUCTS/ezstreaks.html  and they help out some, but they're not perfect.  

My problem is that they aren't long enough or the right color.  I think I should be able to make my own,  and I've found places to buy clips.. but I'm not sure where to get the hair?

I want to make small ones like seen in the link.. but they need to be at least 18".   I want to be able to get a color ring from wherever i buy it from to try to match my hair (i am against dying it) and I want to be able to return the hair if it turns out to not match.

Anyone have any suggestions for a good place to buy the hair?  Is a "weft" what I would need?  I think a weft is stitched at the top.. right? Can you cut that into smaller sections if you want?

Also, is it just a matter of sewing the hair into a toupee clip, or is there more to it than that?

Thanks for reading this, and hopefully I'll get some replies
