Finally!!! A tutorial on how to make a halo wigs for slow people like me!!! My first try and it turned out FABULOUS!!!! Thanks so much!!! 👍🏻💕👍🏻
Yay! Glad I could help!
THIS video literally proves that you are the Goddess of Extensions!!! Like, I had no idea how these were like factory made, let alone handmade!
same as ann i have some clip in's i wore once- and never again. i will use them to make some nice halo's :) will defo wear them more often then! thank you!
You are so creative. This was super helpful.
I just made these and they are fantastic - thanks. So much better than clip extensions that show through. However, it works have been better if you focused your camera on what you were doing, instead of filming from far away. Still, thanks so much!
You guys are amazing thank so much for sharing!
Just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU 🙏!! I am currently making my 3rd set of halo extensions......all thanks to you!
Yay! That's so awesome to hear :)
I just made one using your video. Thank youuu. Ended up spending waaaay less, and I even have hair left over. I used 9 wefts and a 50 lb wire, and I sewed them all together for extra stability. Love it so much. Super quick, even with the sewing.
Yassss!! I love success stories! :) Now what to make with the leftovers?! So many possibilities!!
I just came across your channel a couple of days ago and absolutely love it! Thank you for the detailed instructions! I will be a sub for ever!
Awww thank you! That is so awesome to hear. Gives me all the feels :)
This is a GREAT
Tutorial...
Thank YOU for
Sharing this...
You are super duper welcome!
You are an excellent instructor. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate that! Thank you :)
I think I'm going to give this a whirl! But, I'll add a dot of glue to the knots to make sure they do not slip or untie. I've made jewelry with fishing line, and just a dot of glue really helps to keep it secure. I would also add that, with my fine, curly hair, I would never be able to pull it out from under the halo-I'd have to put it up beforehand. I really appreciate the tutorial!
Amazing and so easy, love it!
So glad!
first I just want to say that I am your biggest fan and sub for life! you are so genius! also, I did want to add something that I thought might help keep the MF/fishing line from becoming untied since there were a couple people asking. but I thought of taking a bead that is using for the non-sewn beaded weft extensions and putting it over the knot and clamp it tight over it to help enforce the knot. my husband is a big fisher, so I have access to a ton of different fishing line to use, but I noticed with some of the diff line, they are harder to knot without them coming undone from them being stiffer or something. and the secret extensions that I found at the dollar store, had some type of metal piece to secure the string to the weft, instead of tying a knot, so I thought maybe doing that but on top of a knot, will help keep it more secure. anyways, thank you so much for teaching me so much about hair and extensions and different ways to make different pieces. I have learned so much from you!
Thank you for the great advice! Crimp beads would absolutely work, but I haven't had a problem with knots untying. I'm sure that will help someone though!! Also, thank you for the kind words, so very sweet. Absolutely made my day.
Great advice
I'm so happy I came across your video,!!! I'm going to make one after I get the fishing line,thank you so much !!! I am now subscribed💕💕💕
Thanks for the sub and the feedback :)
Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial!!!!😄
Thank you for the feedback. I'm glad it helped. :)
Looks awesome love your videos:)
You are a Genius
Your hair looks amazing!!
Thank you so much!!
Outstanding video, great teacher. Thanks pretty lady! Gonna try it now:))
That is awesome to here! How did it go?
Amazing ❤ I will do it ❤
This is so cool, I was about to buy one then found your video. I have some hair extensions at home that I love but never wore because the clips hurt my head LOL now I'm going to use them this way instead. THANKS!!
Yay! So glad you found the video helpful and can use your extensions! Thank you for sharing that!
This is awesome, thank you so much...... I now know how to transform my clip in's ❤️
You are so welcome! Hurray!
Amazing job. You rock!
Awww, thank you so much! :)
very easy!!! your tutorial was very detailed...thanks!!👍
Awesome! Thank you for the feedback!
I love how she said, "If you find that your halo slips..." lol
OMG. I just bought a halo extension off Amazon, and the first time I put it on, after I sized it to my head, the end came off. Naturally it was then too short to fix. Then I promptly lost the extra baggie of wire. I was super disappointed, but now, with your video, I can grab my fishing line and fix it up. Thanks soooooo much.
Yay!! So glad this helped!!
Mind blowing thank you!
My pleasure
Great tutorial thank you so much.
You're very welcome!
GREAT video! Do you think halo made with hand tied weft could be applied on head, then secured tightly with micro links all around and be worn permanently? My hair is so fine and thin that i cant wear any extensions as they put too much weight on my hair, i tried lots of methods. I figure that the weight would be more on the string and then the micro links to keep it in place like in the non sewn beaded weft method. Maybe 2 tracks like that, a higher and lower one. Let me know what you think. I'm really trying to find something i could keep in my head! THANKS!
Thank you, this was helpful.
You are super duper welcome. :)
Thank you so much for this video. I have a full set of good quality clip in human hair extensions, that I have only worn one time. I don't use them on a regular basis, because it is so time consuming to put them in. However, the color is perfect, and the hair is very healthy. Could I make them into a halo extension, in order to put them on easily before work in the mornings?
Thank you beautiful.! I will try to made my Halo extension
Great to hear!! Good luck with your piece. :)
Luv it
Nice
so cool,I'm going to try to make my own,cause the cause is about $300
i can see your halo, halo, halooooo (beyonce voice) lol
Can you do a tutorial on how to sew together multiple wefts with lace to make an authentic looking halo with a sewing machine?
I was wondering where can I get the extensions, I like the one that you used on the video. Its that curly hair or straight hair and you use the curling iron?
Do you by any chance have a video on how to make trackless clip in extensions? Thank you for all your videos and help!!!
I don't. You are very welcome :)
Oh my goodness!!! I bought hair extension beads(?) and a latch hook from you....16 years ago? I still have a few left.
That's amazing
can I use e6000 glue as well?
Will this still look believable if I used a color contrasting from my natural hair? Also I have a mohawk will this still work?
can a halo be used to cover thinning hair on top. any ideas?
Will a halo stay in well ? Like will it stay in for gym class ? It would be awful if I got one and it fell out
thank you:)
You are super duper welcome!
THANK YOU!!! You're the best 😉😊
Can I get the bonding glue from sallys?
Yeah, you can try it! Liquid Gold is more of a resin so it holds better and I like that. It doesn't stay rubbery like latex. For this, you don't need a ton of hold though. And if you find that your latex doesn't hold well enough - you can even sew the wefts together. :)
Doctored Locks thanks for replying! I'm actually in the middle of doing it right now! I did a practice run with some old extensions a couple nights ago to see how well it worked and it worked good enough for me so I'm doing my good set of hair now! I'm excited for faster install and less damage to my real hair! Super happy I found your video, and you best believe I subbed! 😉😊
amazing shall definitely be trying that out instead of buying a cheap synthetic hair version. Wondering if i can ad more wefts without chopping off blood supply to the scalp.
Hahaha... yes, you should be able to. :)
Brilliant idea making it own as the real halo is so expensive.. do u know how to make the hair scrunchie buns u should do a video on them also xx
Thank you! I can add it to our request list :)
Thank you very much for the video! Could you tell me what size thread you used? Thanks 😊❤
I don't remember the size. The important thing to keep in mind is going to be the strength of the thread so that it is not break with use.
Do you sale the hair pieces to make these?
What is the name of the wire thread you used?
Also I used a hot glue gun because that's what I had - it worked well
Would it be possible to make my own halo using clip-in hair instead of one super long weft? I would be removing the clips of course… It's just that I bought a clip-in set a few months ago; the hair is GORGEOUS but I hate the clips, and I would hate to have to buy all new hair!
this was great. the hair I really like has clips on it. how do I get these off of the clipin extensions. i need to do that first.
They are usually just sewn on by a couple stitches. You can just cut the thread and they come right off. :)
Me gustan tus vídeos, pero estaría mejor si los subtítulas en español. Son hermosos tus trabajos 💙.
Gracias
will this work with seriously long hair? I've been searching for 200g 30 inch halo extensions forever and I just can't find anything!! My natural hair is 22 inches and really pretty thin, but I can never get much longer than that because it gets to about 24" and needs cutting so it never grows beyond that point. I've found 30" wefts online so I've been considering making my own for a while, do you think it'd work? I'm hoping if I can make a piece about 200g + then I can get my own hair AND the extensions cut so they blend and it'll look natural and thicker. What do you think?
Thank you so much! I think making my own is probably going to be the best option, and if I make the extensions thick enough (200g ish) then I should be able to trim them too as a way of blending my own hair in with it. Thanks for your advice!
Thanks!! I have a set of extensions that are beautiful but I never use them because I can't stand the combs. I'm going to try this method.
It took me less than 10 minutes and they turned out awesome!! Wow, can't believe it and they're so comfortable. Thanks!!
I would love to make one to add to some frontal hair loss. I have only seen one example of this online and it was almost $200 for one piece and really needed two. I have an A line bob type 3A curls to my chin. Any tips?
Look at Lace Frontals - you might find something that you like on Amazon - that way you can return it if it isn't quite right. :)
Thank you so much for posting this video! I viewed a few videos, but yours is what made me think I MIGHT be capable of also making my extensions into a halo extension. Instead of gluing mine on, I hand-sewed it on. The part I had trouble with was attaching the fishing line. I wasn't sure how glue would hold up after washing it, so I ended up threading it onto a needle and attached it onto the weft that way. A halo extension makes all the difference in making you feel the extensions are not going to slip off of thin hair like my clip-ons did. Thank you again! I love mine - and no one knows I'm wearing it!
By the way, the extensions that I find on-line never seem to be under 16". I need a maximum of 8", so in addition to taking the clips off, I also have to trim mine quite a bit. Any idea where I can find shorter ones?
Yeah, sounds like you need to look up wefted hair instead of clip in extensions. If you want, I can help you find some. Just let me know at sales@doctoredlocks.com - let me know your specs and we can try to find the perfect length, color and quality level. :)
Thank you for this video. Would you mind letting me know where to buy the best quality human weft? Thank you!
Absolutely! We actually sell human hair wefts, and we only carry hair that we know is time-tested, high quality hair. Doctored Locks offers a pretty big selection, and you can see it here: www.doctoredlocks.com/wefted_hair

@@doctoredlocks Thank you!
I am going to attempt to make my own. However, I have very short hair, and I'm going to make it to create a swing bob type look. Wish me luck! Do you think I should make a video?
Heck yes! I would never say no to making a video. :) Definitely share!! I want to see. :)
Hi 👋😊...
If my hair is 33 inches long. What length of weft should I buy and how wide do weft come in? Thanks for such a great tutorial 💖
The longest length we carry is going to be a 22'' and widths will depend on what style and brand you are buying. Thank you
One more question: Would a 10# filament or less, work for a halo? I have fine thinning hair on the top of my head (it's not too severe yet), and was thinking that a thinner filament would blend or hide better than the thicker filament.
As long as the line is strong enough to not break with styling and wear. You may want to consider a top piece for blending. I absolutely love the one that Bohyme makes :)

Is the mono-fillament line stretchy? Some use a stretchy mono-fillament line?
The one we used for this one is not, but some people do use a stretchy line.
I want to know where you found that shade of brown 😍

***** Is the fishing line uncomfortable on the head? Does it seem like it cuts/digs into the skin on the scalp??? I want to do this, but that's my main worry.
Sarah G mine is 26" and 350g and it does if I wear overnight & for multiple days in row, but i never really tke mine off except in shower when washing it or not washing it... i just reposition it like once or twice a day to avoid digging in and made my set more loose than tight!
Where did you order your weft? It’s the nice wave. I can’t find vendors that have wefts that are thick from top to bottom with a nice “S” wave at the ends. Please help
This is more of a pricing question, honestly. I love all Bohyme products, but they are higher end and the market is full of counterfeits. Look at their "soft wave" - that used to be my favorite for all of my clients.
never had one b4 so thx for the advice
You are very welcome!
Can you use clip in extensions and just remove the clips and glue together... I have clips that I love and just got and would hate to waste but I don't have time to do the clips every day
Karen Barnhisel that's what I did but.i sewed mine...
What weft's do you recommend for quality hair?
Bohyme. I love Bohyme wefts. We are getting in some amazing halo pieces in a few weeks too.
Does anyone know where to order human high quality hair extensions that have a nice natural beach wave and they are thick from top to bottom and the ends are soft and had a nice curl to them. Can anyone make a suggestion?
www.doctoredlocks.com/hair-extensions/weaving-hair.html
Did you just tie the fishing line onto the wefts? Mine didn't seem to stay on when I tied it.
Do you mean it didn't stay in place on your head, or the line came untied? The line you use should make a pretty firm knot. You can try using tweezers to pull it tighter if its too awkward to grip.
Please excuse my ignorance on this as I am learning more about this but at 7:00 I got totally lost. It wasn't a good close up view of how to attach that other end. I couldn't tell or see exactly how to get the other side on without a needle. Can u or someone explain that part of this tutorial better for me. I am going to try to make this but I just need a lil more clarity on that part. Thanks & great video.
For that part, you just want to tie your filament around all of the layers of weft (keeping out the stray hairs). Just do 4 or 5 single knots around the wefts, then knot the filament back around on itself then clip away the excess. :) Does that help?
wonder how it would look if i were to do this but dread the extensions
okay, thats an idea! btw, can you make halo extensions where you have sewn in your own weft? (i just watched your how to video on sewing in your own weft)
Wire thiknes of fish line? Thanks
It needs to be thick enough that it doesn't easily break.
Can I use any bonding agent? Like a hair glue?
You can certainly try it. Worst case scenario, they will not hold and you'll have to use something stronger. :) You can even use a krazy glue gel - I would do something heavier than a latex hair glue - I think that would fall apart too easily.
Me pueden decir por favor que tipo de pegamento husa
Liquid Gold
is this also good for thin hair
thanks, your a big time help for me
have a great day
I'm wondering if I could do two layers of together to use in a microlinks installation instead of trying to sewn 2 wefts at once.
Absolutely. For full installations, I would recommend pre sewing the wefts together before sewing them onto your client. :)
@@doctoredlocks Thanks, I'm my client because EXERY time I go to a "professional " I get messed up. But, I never mess myself up.
That's awesome that you have been able to do it yourself :)
Does the wire/line cut into your head? I really want to make these but i don't want to get a headache haha
It really doesn't, in fact, you can't really feel it at all. I think if you made it too tight where it was giving you a dent maybe? But I've
never seen that happen before. :)
Doctored Locks thanks so much!
You are so very welcome!
Does anyone know the mm or gauge the thread needs to be? I have no idea what one to choose
The mm isn''t as important as the strength. You just need it to be really strong so it does not break :)
Can you take regular clip hair extensions and turn them into these?
Sure! I would start by taking the clips off and then sewing them together so you have a thick/wide weft. Since you'll have multiple pieces, just over lap them until you like the thickness and width - stitch them all together and then add your wire. :)
Doctored Locks This is genius! Can you plse do a step by step tutorial on this? This would be sooo helpful! 🤗
I will add it to our list. :)
Pleeeeeeease do a tutorial on this!
Hi dear
I like ur video
I v many hair extensions without clip but I like this wire
Can u tell me plz which wire u v used and what mm wire u v used and we're can I buy
Plz reply I m from india
To be honest, I'm not sure. It is very similar to a standard fishing line. Strong enough to hold in place, thin enough to be able to create knots to tie the ends. :) Almost anything will likely work. :)
@@doctoredlocks ok but can u tell me which mm thread can I used for hair extensions
There isn't a specific mm size
WHere can you get the bond a weave glue ??
***** Thank You So Much! (:
Hey here where can i get this material
Honestly, you can just grab a decent weight fishing line. Otherwise, if you want something with more stretch, clear elastic for beading will work. :)
Can I do this on short hair
You can, but blending may be tricky. Your top layer needs to be able to style into it. For short hair, clip sets might be better since you can get closer to the part lines.
where do you get cheap hair?
thank you :)
If you are bald or have not enough hair to cover over the halo, would it be possible to measure the wire higher up on the head so that a baseball cap or a hat can be worn? Would my idea work?
You probably wouldn't have to wear it higher on the head - it should work with a cap as is. If it gets uncomfortable, you could even attach it directly to the cap. :)
Could you wear these if you have bangs?
Yes! I actually like them a bit better with bangs because I feel like you can hide the string a bit better.
where can i buy the string?
Pick up some fishing line at any any sporting goods shop or even Walmart
Would the knots undo? Xx
If you get them secure enough they shouldn't budge.
Hi. So on shorter hair like shoulder length. I didnt quite understand what you were saying in blending in the hair and adding a... I'm lost xD. Is it alright if you can clarify, I'm a hands on learner.
Of course! So, if you put your halo piece on and find that there are blunt lines from your hair that give away that you are wearing a piece, adding additional clips in pieces higher up will help visually smooth that transition.
@@doctoredlocks is it possible to do something else instead of clips, if they tend to damage your hair 😅💇🏽♀️?
Are you having breakage issues? You shouldn't be getting damage from clip ins. You can go to an extension stylist and have them blend your current length in to the Halo with some cutting techniques.
@@doctoredlocks yes. I actually got a little bald on the sides of my head from clip ins and the back. I guess my hair cant take it. And they were professionally installed. The back of my hair is half the length of my hair in the mid middle and front of my hair. It looks like I have a Bob. But a very bad one from breakage of clip ins in the back. Do I have to use clip ins, is that really my only option?
Clips shouldn't ever create damage unless they were left in or somehow caused excess tension. Halo pieces are not the easiest pieces to blend since they rely on the hair from the top to cover - if you have a shorter style, you could try making a shorter halo (just a few inches longer than your hair) and that will typically make a more believable cut. The only other thing that would make your blending easier is to use a top piece - but I hesitate to say that since they are also clipped into place. If you are struggling with clips, this may not be your best option. Were you leaving the clips in for longer periods of time? Do you know how/why they were causing damage?
Can i sow it instead of using glue?
Absolutely!
I live in India what I have to ask for should I simply ask him halo hair
I'm not sure what you mean. Can you describe it in a different way?
What kind of wire is that????
Its a monofilament - similar to a heavy duty fishing line. :)
Can you make me one lol
it's impossible to see what you're doing with dark hair on a dark background.
Sorry, we will try to fix it for next time. Thanks for the feedback!
Has anyone ever bought from Hidden crown toppers and hidden crown halos?
I'm sure someone has, but if you have questions about their products, you'd have better luck posting on their videos. More specific audience.
