With these simple sewing techniques, you can replace the clips on your ZALA Hair as good as new.

HOW TO SEW CLIPS ON HAIR EXTENSIONS – ZALA HAIR

Time to get sewing! This process is pretty similar to sewing a button on a shirt. It’s all about creating a strong and secure hold so that those clips stay in place. All the while sewing neatly and precisely. If you’re not familiar with sewing, don’t stress! The following techniques are super simple once you get the hang of it. You’ll be repeating each stick/knot 2-3 times anyway.

What you’ll need:

Needle
Thread (in a colour similar to your hair extensions)
Scissors
Hair Extension Piece/weft, of course!
Spare clips (in a colour similar to your hair extensions)

Even though the likelihood of clips coming loose or breaking is rare, we include 2 x spare clips with every set purchased with ZALA. Just in case 🙂

How to Sew Clips on Hair Extensions

Cut a 0.5-1m length piece of thread and pull through the eye of the needle. Thread through until both ends meet and tie 2-3 knots to secure. This process is called double threading 🙂
Align your clip in place and thread your needle through the upper, outer hole. As our sets are triple wefted, you will have to make sure you are sewing through each track/weft for the most secure hold.
Next, sew 2-3 loops through each hole. Depending on your needle size, you may or may not be able to fit through all 3 holes.
For the side/edge clip, sew loops/notches that wrap around the side of the weft. Make sure your thread is on top of your needle before securing. Finish sewing in the center and tie 2-3 knots to secure in place.
For middle clips, sew through all 3 hole using an ‘over & under motion’. Repeat a few times until you’ve created a strong and sturdy hold. Finish sewing in the center and tie 2-3 knots to secure in place.
With all clips, the middle sewing technique remains the same. Simply thread your needle through the middle (between the top of the clip and the teeth of the clip).
Wrap thread around, sewing to create a strong hold and tie 2-3 knots to secure.
