So, I finally decided to give this a try. I went to Sally's, got these clips,
they are pretty good.

So I decided to sew one on and see how I like it. The top layer of protacs
kept showing, and pulling weird on my hair, but it I take it out, it looks
weird and doesn't blend well.

So far, great! It looks great, is comfortable, I even forgot about it and fell
asleep with it in! I am going to make more with my left over wefts.

Those clips look different than I've seen. I haven't seen it with a slant. Do you like it? Do you feel any pulling?

Synne, you're so sweet for posting it!

Oh, we can't see the clip on the hair

that looks really good, thanks Iwray
I'm still curious why the clips are slanted at the bottom.

hey Naked Eye, what did you use to bond the hair to the clips?  It looks like you used some sort of fishing line-type of string.. 

also, do you have any pics of you w/the clip-ins?  thanks!

I actually just sewed them on with regular thread and needle like you
would sew up clothes with. It's just the thread is the same color as the
hair.

I don't have pictures yet, but I don't have a full head of clip ins, I just have
2 small wefts with the clips on the top, the rest is the protacs, so it's the
same as my old pictures basically

I love those clips too. They're really thin and hold tight! The only thing is, I read you can't sleep with them in. Why not? How does that cause balding?
All hail the DIYers Hoorah! Hoorah! :D

Oh, I've actually slept with them in for a few nights before. I usually take
them out at night, just because I can. But really, I had no problem
sleeping with them in.

I wouldn't even think it's damaging to sleep with them in, I just take them
out so I don't have to wash them as much, and don't have to worry about
them getting tangled, etc...

Clip ins are a god sendt xD

but sleeping with them in is NOT to advise...Since theye are only anchored to small sections of hair.

instead of the normal weft method , you will get to much tension on these areas... and that may cause thinning where you have the clips.

Imagine when you sleep and rub you head all around you pull on the extensions and "chew" on your hair xD

But if you have loads of clips on the weft, like maby 4-5 on that weft i cant imagine it would stress your hair so much, But dont make it a habit. Maby if you get a new hubby/girl you could leave them in the first few nights togheter....But`s it best to fess up:P Theyre going to notice them someday O.o :P

***Hugs and Love and stuff to yall*
12 Inch Wawa, Installed with Protac, i love hair extensions<3

Haha, yeah moff, I could leave them in, but I didn't ever wear them
without the protacs, when I left them in I had the protacs that were
holding them in place better.

I just wore them by themselves today, and I would NEVER sleep with them
in like that! It would hurt like hell!!! I wouldn't sleep!

Thankfully my bf knows about my extensions, so I don't feel the need to
impress him! No, but I could see if I had a new boy that didn't
realize I had extensions, so I would try to sleep with them in and one
would fall out or something...Imagine how freaked out that poor guy
would be!!

So I take my hair out at night, set it on my nightstand, I have hair
hanging, drying all over my apartment. It's like a freak show. So my bf will
always be like "babe, did you know there's a dead weasle hanging over
your towel rod in the bathroom?"

Laughing...my guy makes jokes about my "merkin factory." (In case you
don't know what a merkin is, the dictionary defines it as a "pubic wig for
women." !!!)
