For those of you with weft hair extensions, you might be wondering, “Can you make clip in extensions out of weft extensions?” The answer is yes, but it can be super tedious. This process involves sewing clips onto weft hair extensions (not fun at all!). It’s very time-consuming to sew clips onto each weft hair extension one by one. That’s why we created Kizzy Clips (no sewing required!).

Ready to convert your weft extensions to clip in hair extensions? We’ve got your step-by-step guide! The best part about Kizzy Clips is that there’s absolutely NO SEWING involved. They’re fast to apply and reusable, making converting your extensions as simple as possible. Please keep in mind that our Kizzy Clips are not ideal for hand-tied weft extensions and work better with machine-sewn wefts.     

Here’s how to convert a weft hair extension to clip in using Kizzy Clips:   

NOTE: Scroll down to the bottom for a detailed infographic with photos.    

Supplies Needed:    

  • Flat Iron 
  • Weft Hair Extensions  

Prep:    

  • Wash and condition your weft extensions to remove any oil, dirt, or buildup that can prevent proper adhesion (sometimes, an oily coating on weft extensions can also keep extension tape from adhering properly!).  
  • Ensure your weft hair extension tresses are fully dry before converting them to clip in.  

Instructions:    

  1. Cut two three-inch panels from the weft extensions using small weft scissors. 
  2. Gently pull up on the “J” Hook, which should be slightly open. 
  3. Kizzy Clips were designed for the “J” Hook to overlap the seam on the bottom (NOTE: Most weft extensions have a top and bottom side. The top is flat, and the bottom side has a raised seam.)  
  4. If possible, attach Kizzy Clips to the bottom side of the weft hair extension. The “J” Hook should scoop over the raised seam of the weft.  
  5. Add three pieces of the provided Big Kizzy Extension Tape Tabs over the weft and clips. Align the second three-inch weft top side down onto the first weft.  
  6. Firmly press together with hair extension pliers or your fingers. Run a flat iron over the clip in panel, then firmly seal everything together with the pliers. 

Tips and Tricks: 

  • Don’t wash or get the hair extensions wet for at least 48 hours after converting them to clip in. 
  • Do not use conditioner or oil-based products on or near the Kizzy Clip attachment points. 
  • When shampooing and conditioning, be careful when the base of the clip in hair extensions is wet. Once completely dry, they’ll be ready to style and wear.  
  • Keep hot tools over 200°F away from the base of the hair extensions.  
  • Remember to keep your Kizzy Clips. They can be reused with proper application and care!
