Thanks so much for posting this as I have not been able to find a video on this technique. It's a great, clear video. Right now I am wondering what other stick tool I can use besides the chair.
@Sparklngcrystalz The professionals have a specific tool for this. It's like a stick thing with adjustable holders for the thread and you attach the thing to a table with a thumb screw.
@1asteraster Hmm, I can't say I fully understand how you mean. Maybe you're missing a step of the process? I can't make another video with further instructions right now, but maybe some of the other instruction videos on youtube might clarify it for you?
@RyaVids The fishing line is just what I happened to have laying around at home at the time I did the video. I think quilters thread is the equivalent of what I normally use (it has a different name in swedish the kind of thread I use) so it should work excellently. With thinner thread like that the weft gets very nice and tiny. :)
@MissDeliana I was scared the thread wouldn't work since monofilament string/fishing line is tested to be strong. I'm glad that both methods work :). I just have to find a better stool/chair/device to tie the strings to. Thank you for replying!
so how to finish the line? how many cm and how to take it out? is there any video showing the end of the line? and how to make them double, triple or quad wefted? i really apreciate to know , thANK you
I'm so glad I found this video! I just bought human hair from the thrift store for $2.90, yes it was new and was still in the package. I thought it was on track but when I opened it I saw it was bulk hair! So luckily I can try to make my own wefts!
I'm so glad I didn't throw away my old hair extensions (the one they braided right into my own hair). It costs a bomb!! Now I can re-use it and make my own clip-on hair extensions from this.
This is purrrfect! I may suggest that when sewing a completed weft that you try the sewing machine for time sake. You might try to put 1 tissue slice on top and one underneath the weft top where you are sewing by machine. Once the sewing is complete you can pull the tissue off. thanks for this video, hope you will share more ideas you may have!
this was a good video.But it seems like it would take so much time making enough wefts for a whole head. with that being said: How long do it take to make enough for a whole head?
@AKIYIAKELLY How long it takes rerally depends on your skill level, once your hands get used to it it'll be pretty fast. Can't remember how long it takes, I haven't made a weft in ages.
This video is so great (: Its helped me so much. Instead of paying big bucks for already wefted hair, I can do it myself :D Thank you soosososososososo much
ok so these must be really long strands and this can only be done with straight strands right? what if you have bundles of curls...you would not fold it over this way, because one end is curly and the top of the bindled hair is straight...plis I cannot see a true knot it is just wound right? How do you take it off?
just wondering how long it takes you to do 7 feet or so? Im new to extensions, and the one thing that worries me is that darn weft showing should my hair part or blow in the wind, making this type of weft seems very lightweight and nearly undetecable. i love the idea!! please let me know how long it take you? i may buy some bulk hair and give it a try
@juliemcskimming I don't really know how long it would take, I have no sense of time whatsoever. :D But it wouldn't take horribly long once your hands get used to it. I guess it takes about as long as it would take to crochet a 7 feet long chain, if you're a slow crocheter. :)
I thought you did a good job on showing how to tie the knot. After seeing several other clips yours seemed simpler and I can't wait to try it. Thank you
I love this video. I started out making wefts with my sewing machine and attaching it to tulle. These appear much simpler and easier to hide in the hair. Thank you:)
I don't really do anything specifik to "cast off". I only sew through it all with sewing thread until it feels secure enough, then I cut the excess lines. :)
I am so happy to see this tutorial. How do you finish your wefts? do you have to cut the fishing line and then hand sew across the top of the weft? How do you make sure that the hair stays in place once you cut the lines?
The space is alot smaller than you'd think.You could get the space smaller by using thinner strands of hair. When you buy machien made wefts the strands are very thin and then two wefts are usually sewn together on top of the other to make them look thicker.
The trick to get the weft longer is to use as short of a "tail" as possible when you weave it. :)
thank you for posting! I have been trying to find silver white weft hair...and it's impossible. But I can find it loose. I am going to make some wefts this weekend!
Girl!! This vid is fantastic!!!! I am off to buy my russian virgin hair as I write this lol! Sooo expensive wefted but super cheap in bulk! Thanks!! Your a heaven sent!
today i went to sallys to look for hair extensions for my birthday but some real hair ones costed up to £40 and i have some old ones on a big clip which i am going to cut up tu use this method to see how it goes this is amazing thank you for it xx
It's not much of a pattern really, it's just rows of string. I just tied them tightly around the legs of the stool and I usually keep them apart with anything i can find, like a piece of cardboard that I cuit notches in.
how do you finish your wefts? do you cut the lines and then sew over top of them? i don't want to pay money for an instructional dvd and this is the only tutorial i could find. thanks!
That's actually exactyly what I do. Only I leave a bit of line at the end and fold it in on the weft before I sew through it all. Also I sew along the entire weft, to make sure it's nice and secure.
I hand sew. If you sew by machine there is the risk of hairs getting pulled down into the machine with the needle, if the needle is damaged. I just love my sewing machine too much to try. ^^
I haven't sealed them with anything, but I weave them pretty tight and the sewing probably helps keep everything in place as well. I haven't experienced any shedding at all.
question if i use human hair and its 20 inches long i need to keep the length so di i start by using the tip and not jus a lil to make even or what? love the tech its nice and very easy
It is very easy once you get the hang of it, isn't it? it's actually a little relaxing, like knitting or crochet. I like to make my wefts in front of the TV myself. Anyway, to reply to your question. I think you will need to experiment with that on your own, wichever is easiest and gives the best results for you. Personally I don't try to make the ends even, I cut my wefts when I'm done. It's easier for me.
I am a beginner at making dreads.. My 10 year old daughter wanted to help.. Well now she can.. It was hard for us at first (fishing line so clear) but once we got it, she went crazy with my green KK hair..This is the only tutorial I have found on youtube and we're so greatful!!
I'm so happy that my little video is of joy to anyone. Really, I never thought it would be so appreciated. I would make a new one, try and show more clearly what I am doing and mention some things about what materials to use and so on, but I don't have a camera to do it with anymore. :)
HI thank you for making this video!!! i've been looking for a something to do with my wig that i've bought. is it possible to use something thats thicker than fishing line if i want a thicker weft?
I am quite sure it is possible, but why would you want a thicker weft? I also think you could just use thicker strands of hair, if it is more fullness you are after.
I've just made a weft using bulk synthetic hair and this method. I was wondering if there's anything I need to do to finalize the weft or secure the hair? It's a little unsightly having these fishing line knots at both ends of the weft, but if I cut them, the hair will come loose. What do you suggest? Thanks for a great video!
I think I've answered this question a gazillion times by now! ;) I don't knot the fishing line really, I secure the weft by sewing with regular thread, then I fold the fishing line so that it lies to the back of the weft and secure it in place by sewing. :)
Oh my god I'm so sorry, I should've looked harder at the comments and description! Thanks again <3 I hope you get a new camera soon so you can keep making these super helpful tutorials ;D
Wow! That looks great! Do you think there's any way possible to do this technique with crochet braids? I'm looking for a way to do microbraids without actually microbraiding any hair. All of the wefted microbraids I have seen are not microbraided all the way up to the weft and the weft is so big that it looks too noticable!
OMG!!! This was so great. This is one of the smartest things i have ever seen. It's looks fun cheap and like the real track.Your so smart thnx so much for figuring this out...much love girl... :)
I actually taped the string to the stool so it sat right where I wanted it too. Works just fine. :) I guess this is like using aa weft maker but without the weft maker then.
Hi! It's difficult to know what the problem is without seeing how you do it. If you have the possibility to film when you make the weft and show it to me I'll try and help. Also, what material are you using to weave on? Maybe the material has too much friction?
Ah, thank you for posting this, this is exactly what my friend and I were looking for! you said in earlier comments that you can use thinner materials than fishing line? We're trying to make doll wigs actually. Would quilter's/sulky nylon thread work as well?
At first I was really confused, but with practise and patience, (and looking at the written tut lol), I managed to make heaps. I find Plastikhaar easy to use in these, but any KK silky will do. I have to take a few pics! I basically made just streaks (to sew clips onto) and a fringe, plus some weaves for the front of what will soon be my dread wig.
You don't cut it, you make it the length you want it to be. Or if you _must_ cut it, secure both sides of where you want to make the cut by sewing by hand _before_ cutting but I wouldn't recommend it. And yes, you can apply clip ons.
What I do is that I fold a piece of the fishing line and secure it inplace by sewing by hand. Sew through the entire length of the weft to make sure all those knots stay firm. If you have done the weft with a thinner thread, like grizzly or quilters thread, you could just thread the same thread you have made the weft on to a needle and sew with that. :)
hehehe, thanks. I was a bit nervous so my avccent got even stronger than it usually is! I'm from Sweden by the way. Well the stool you could find anywhere, the fishing line I had laying around at home btu I recommend you go to a sewing supply store and ask them for quilters thread or if they have any other suggestion for very strong thread. Where you get the hair is up to you, there's a gazillion stores online to get it from and ebay is a great source as well. :)
That depends entirely on how long you want it to be. ;) If it is synthetic and there is no cuticle direction to keep track of you can make it 10" and twice as thick as a weft normally is by making the "beard" part of the weft as long as the rest of the hair. If you want to make it as long as possible, my guess is you could get allmost 19" out of your 20" hair.
MissDeliana,first off, thanks so much for posting this video~
It's been great help..On your video, you mentioned something about "having a beard" at 1:54? Could you elaborate on that? I'm planning to make a wig using human hair..
Also, you mentioned something about "cuticle direction"?
Ok. First the beard thing. If you weave it so that the hair is shorter on the backside of the weave than in the front, to get the maximum length of the hair you are working with, the short hair is called the beard. the cuticle direction is about the hair structure, the hairs natural up and down. I think you'd be better of trying to google that and see if you get an good explanation somewhere, I'm too tired to explain further right now and would probably do a bad job with that anyway ;)
But may I suggest wig thread? It's thicker than ordinary sewing thread and is the appropriate material to use for any wig interventions and other sorts.
Do you mean as in the hair length or as in the width of the hair? I'm not sure, but I would _guess_ that 10-15 centimetres is te shortest that you could work _comfortably_ with, but honestly, I think you can do alot shorter than that if you have enough patience...
could you possibly do another video, showing this in more detail? You do it so fast, that I can't tell if you're just 'basket weaving' the strand, back and forth, or, if there's some method of wrapping each strand of your fishing line!
Hi! I can't make another video, I don't have access to a camera. But I can tell you that I am basically just basketweaving. If you check out the link in the "About this video" to the text and picture instructions you might find it easier to understand what the video is showing. :)
i absolutely love the video but could u you make another 1 showing how you wrap the fishing line around the stool an after yo finsh wefting how you take it off. PLus will it fall apart once finshed an ready to apply to hair
thanks a lot for this video, but what do you do when you finish weaving? do you just cut it at the end?

I think I've answered this question a gazillion times by now! ;) I don't knot the fishing line really, I secure the weft by sewing with regular thread, then I fold the fishing line so that it lies to the back of the weft and secure it in place by sewing. :)

Oh my god I'm so sorry, I should've looked harder at the comments and description! Thanks again <3 I hope you get a new camera soon so you can keep making these super helpful tutorials ;D

Wow! That looks great! Do you think there's any way possible to do this technique with crochet braids? I'm looking for a way to do microbraids without actually microbraiding any hair. All of the wefted microbraids I have seen are not microbraided all the way up to the weft and the weft is so big that it looks too noticable!
Any suggestions would be great!

Heh, I guess the answer is no since I've never heard of a weft machine. What does it do? ;)
MissDeliana 3 years ago
i guess its like a loom. XD
how did you keep the string from slipping?
cuz as i was trying,
it kept on going loose T^T
thanks for ur reply~~
takkitackey 3 years ago
I actually taped the string to the stool so it sat right where I wanted it too. Works just fine. :) I guess this is like using aa weft maker but without the weft maker then.

If you buy handtied hair can you cut it off the weft to make it bulk hair?

Hi! It's difficult to know what the problem is without seeing how you do it. If you have the possibility to film when you make the weft and show it to me I'll try and help. Also, what material are you using to weave on? Maybe the material has too much friction?
MissDeliana 3 years ago
hi i used regular weaving thread all i had a the moment
disaforest 3 years ago
Ah, thank you for posting this, this is exactly what my friend and I were looking for! you said in earlier comments that you can use thinner materials than fishing line? We're trying to make doll wigs actually. Would quilter's/sulky nylon thread work as well?
Ennead13x 3 years ago
At first I was really confused, but with practise and patience, (and looking at the written tut lol), I managed to make heaps. I find Plastikhaar easy to use in these, but any KK silky will do. I have to take a few pics! I basically made just streaks (to sew clips onto) and a fringe, plus some weaves for the front of what will soon be my dread wig.
THANKS!!!

CAN I APPLY THE CLIP ONS ON HAND TIED HAIR. WHAT IF i HAVE TO CUT IT?
eliezerurena2 3 years ago
You don't cut it, you make it the length you want it to be. Or if you _must_ cut it, secure both sides of where you want to make the cut by sewing by hand _before_ cutting but I wouldn't recommend it. And yes, you can apply clip ons.
MissDeliana 3 years ago
Hi, this video has been really helpful and I tried the technique myself with good results. Can I just ask how you finish the ends when you're done?
kiwisatachi 3 years ago
What I do is that I fold a piece of the fishing line and secure it inplace by sewing by hand. Sew through the entire length of the weft to make sure all those knots stay firm. If you have done the weft with a thinner thread, like grizzly or quilters thread, you could just thread the same thread you have made the weft on to a needle and sew with that. :)

thats amazing and u have a cute accent too how do u get all this stuff to do it
sgieckm 3 years ago
hehehe, thanks. I was a bit nervous so my avccent got even stronger than it usually is! I'm from Sweden by the way. Well the stool you could find anywhere, the fishing line I had laying around at home btu I recommend you go to a sewing supply store and ask them for quilters thread or if they have any other suggestion for very strong thread. Where you get the hair is up to you, there's a gazillion stores online to get it from and ebay is a great source as well. :)

Thanks for showing me how to make weft I think I want to try it out.
nellie1082 3 years ago
Great video! But I just have a quick question. Say I buy 20" bulk hair, how long will the extension actually be after I string it on the weft?
cisforcaptain 3 years ago
That depends entirely on how long you want it to be. ;) If it is synthetic and there is no cuticle direction to keep track of you can make it 10" and twice as thick as a weft normally is by making the "beard" part of the weft as long as the rest of the hair. If you want to make it as long as possible, my guess is you could get allmost 19" out of your 20" hair.
MissDeliana 3 years ago
what is the best thing to use insyead of fishing line?
morganrules52 3 years ago
Any kind of thin extremly strong thread.
MissDeliana 3 years ago
MissDeliana,first off, thanks so much for posting this video~
It's been great help..On your video, you mentioned something about "having a beard" at 1:54? Could you elaborate on that? I'm planning to make a wig using human hair..
Also, you mentioned something about "cuticle direction"?
clowve 4 years ago
Ok. First the beard thing. If you weave it so that the hair is shorter on the backside of the weave than in the front, to get the maximum length of the hair you are working with, the short hair is called the beard. the cuticle direction is about the hair structure, the hairs natural up and down. I think you'd be better of trying to google that and see if you get an good explanation somewhere, I'm too tired to explain further right now and would probably do a bad job with that anyway ;)

MissDeliana, thank you for this video. I have been waiting to learn this, I bought all materials and noticed that I never knew ho to make a weft.

Persephone121 4 years ago
I have, and I wrote about that in the "about this video"-bit to the right :)
MissDeliana 4 years ago
they have some material that is actually used for sewing in wefts it is a type of thread
But it is thicker than just normal thread
glamwhatever 4 years ago
kool
Persephone121 4 years ago
Well I guess she said grizzly :]
But may I suggest wig thread? It's thicker than ordinary sewing thread and is the appropriate material to use for any wig interventions and other sorts.
CondomBunny 4 years ago
yeah thanx i'll try it out.
Persephone121 4 years ago
then after dat do wht how do u take it off to put it on da hair
darkberry77 4 years ago
you can glue it on, or sew it on, or clip it.
Persephone121 4 years ago
i think this is a great idea and i cnt wait to try it but how do you end the weft in other words how would you tie it off?

What would be the shortest length of hair you'd say to hand tied in this manner? (in inches)
Justsang4me 4 years ago
Do you mean as in the hair length or as in the width of the hair? I'm not sure, but I would _guess_ that 10-15 centimetres is te shortest that you could work _comfortably_ with, but honestly, I think you can do alot shorter than that if you have enough patience...
MissDeliana 4 years ago
could you possibly do another video, showing this in more detail? You do it so fast, that I can't tell if you're just 'basket weaving' the strand, back and forth, or, if there's some method of wrapping each strand of your fishing line!
thegoodfaery 4 years ago
Hi! I can't make another video, I don't have access to a camera. But I can tell you that I am basically just basketweaving. If you check out the link in the "About this video" to the text and picture instructions you might find it easier to understand what the video is showing. :)

i absolutely love the video but could u you make another 1 showing how you wrap the fishing line around the stool an after yo finsh wefting how you take it off. PLus will it fall apart once finshed an ready to apply to hair
