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 |

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." !!!) ------------- Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE! |

Yeah, I had microlinks before and he was like, they look like lice!!
Then if I have any showing he will say (in public mind you) your lice are showing!!  Let's just say I get some weird looks.
And yeah, I get TONS of crap about how much I spend on it. My mom found out and yelled at me. I was like mom, I could be doing drugs. Leave me alone. I guess some women don't get it either!!

NE, I found those clips I had mentioned before: the 9-Tube and 6-Tube type.
I don't know if anyone else has tried these but with these kind I don't ever have them snap back open which was one of my biggest pet peeves about using clips. I would also like to extend huge kudos to http://www.hairandextensions.com/ - Hair and Extensions for their great customer service and prices. These guys are fab! ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |
