    I’ve been saving my hair from cuts for several years to be able to do this because I have salt and pepper hair so no other extensions look natural. I have no idea why people would think it’s more weird to use your own hair than someone else’s or a synthetic. It’s a perfect match in color and texture 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not trying to add length, just put some volume back in 👍 Thanks for the tutorial.

    I started chemo this week. I have really long hair and don't want a full wig, just a ponytail. I think I will try this if I can keep my eyes open long enough.

    I’ve been looking for a video like this for years, this is so exciting. I want to collect my hair fall and save it and eventually I’ll have enough that I’ll be able to make extensions! My hair is pretty long rn too.

      same! been collecting (which grosses out my bf lol) since I saw that damn tik tok vid about it about a yr ago, then gonna cut it but then will always have the perfectly matching extensions if I ever wanna add volume/ fake longer hair for a day etc.

  • @emianna4936

    I think it is wise to use your own hair because it will blend with your existing hair AND to stitch it with your sewing machine!

    Yea I’m a dude with hair down to my waist and it just got unmanageable. Hated how it felt against the back of my neck ( epic autismo sensory moment ) so imma make some wefts like this and wear extensions if I ever have anyone I wanna impress. Short hair is just so manageable and cool; and I’m tired of pulling my hair out every time I undo the daily bun to keep that shit up XD
    Nice tut, ty!

    I have fine thin hair, a beautiful strawberry blonde/red. I cut my hair once a year or less and have saved the clippings for decades. My thoughts were that maybe they'd be able to make me a wig with all my clippings when I started thinning bad. I just might try making myself an extension or two after seeing this video! Thanks for posting!

    I think what you did is great because using your on hair as extensions, you do not have to worry about it matching, you can use clip ins and create a layer bob and the way you sewed it, looks professional, and you do not have to worry about where the hair came from or if it is 100% human because it is yours; great job ❤

    I'm glad I thought about watching videos about hair extensions.
    So yesterday my son asked me to cut his hair, after a couple of years letting it grow. I cut about fourteen inches and his hair is still shoulder length. Anyhow, this is so cool, I'm going to make my own hair extensions from my son's hair! How cool is that?!!!

    It’s not weird at all! People spend thousands on virgin natural hair extensions/wigs! I am the weird one lol, I have adhd and ocd so I was wondering how much hair I loose everyday and anytime I shower I don’t let any of my hair go down the drain so I slab it on the wall and toss it but the past couple of days I have saved the longest strands and put them together and I have the beads so I pressed all the hair together and now im wondering if I could eventually have enough to do a weft. My hair is almost too long for my extensions I have now. I will most likely get bored and give up. My hair is 26 inches and I don’t plan to cut it but my hair is thin and I wish for it to be thicker. So if I do decide to make wefts it will be for me. You did a great job!

    • @sophroniel
      @sophroniel 8 месяцев назад +2

      You could use them to add volume, make a clip-in fringe or long length to cover a fringe for a different look, or you could dye it to fun colours for realistic clip-in highlights!

    Very useful, I initially wanted to have a personalized wig made from my mom’s, sisters and daughters hair for my chemotherapy treatments but I was told that I don’t have enough (even with a full bag!). I had this suggestion of clipping the hair on my actual wig, but nobody wants to sow them to secure the hair! I will definitely try your technique so I’ll be able to carry my hole family on my head during chemo! Thanks!

      Uhm- call me stupid but, I’m not really completely understanding. Why on earth, someone would cut their hair only to make themselves hair extensions to put back in their hair makes no sense to me not at all.

    • @Jessi-sj3zx
      @Jessi-sj3zx Год назад +17

      @@paulajelen1351extensions are used to add volume or make hair thicker. Also having extensions means you can still have long hair when you want for events but daily you can enjoy easier to manage short hair.

    My hair has really thinned out and it's very long. I want to do a big chop and maybe make some extensions out of what I cut to make my hair look thicker. I feel funny about having other people hair on my head and synthetic extensions never really blend well. This is a great idea.

    I made it to the end lol. I have insanely thick hair and can’t deal with it anymore but I really love it. I was looking up to see if I could get my hair made into a wig and found this video. It’s an amazing idea. Think theater groups, using hair from hair dressers maybe, Cos players too, LARPers. I don’t think it’s ick, or at least if I was in control of it and it was mine, it’s not ick lol.

  • @lorenrobertson8039
    @lorenrobertson8039 26 дней назад

    I would dearly love to be able to do what you did. Great idea and you are so talented! I'm impressed! I'd love to get a donation of natural white/grey hair made like this for myself. But I am older and growing my hair that long is something I doubt I'd have time to do in this lifetime. I was a hairdresser back in my youth...in the 1980's. Been neat to have known about extensions back then! Never saw or heard them mentioned. Only wigs back in my days. I wish I had beautiful white grey hair like my great grandmother had, and my aunt now has. Mine is uneven and has dark spots that are not at all attractive, so I've gone back to blond...and I hate I did that after growing it out all the way grey. I have had head traumas in life, and I think that spot on the back of my head might be dark d/t that...as I was always naturally lighter haired than that one spot. Strange and ugly. But where it is not much I can do about it. Can't go lighter without it going brassy. Sucks to be me I guess. But you are blessed with such thick and beautiful hair! We all have our own blessings to count.

  • @TheLadybard

    Thanks for this. I have alopecia and bought an inexpensive headband wig. It is way longer than I want so I was going to cut off about half of it and thought I might be able to make a hat wig using the excess that I cut off from the headband wig. Just didn't know how to make the hair into wefts. This was helpful!

    • @crystalsorensen9246
      @crystalsorensen9246 10 месяцев назад +1

      I have fine hair and was thinking the same thing. Also, I’ve done extensions but since the texture is different from my texture I could tell the difference between them and hoped I could have extensions for volume from my exact hair. I am going to think how I can do this.

I ended up feeling too lazy to dig up a place and bury and just never got around to it. The idea of sewing myself hair extensions with my own hair came to mind as there are days where I want long hair. So, I did a quick search and found this. This is perfect and looks super easy, thanks! :)

    However, I was able to make weft from my own hair following your instructions. I cut my hair before my 1st chemo session and since I love my hair I was not ready to part with it. This allows me to continue to look my natural me. I attached the wefts to a headband and all I have to chage is my hat.
