I’d like to think that my hair journey has made me a bit adventurous. I’ve learned to try out different styles, color rinses and am even on the road to texlaxed.
One thing I’ve always wanted to try, but couldn’t conjure up the spirit for is a sew in weave. There’s something about not being able to get to my scalp for months that imparts fear in me. I feel like I’d be trapped.
I’ve experimented with braids with extensions* before and the difference there is that I did them myself meaning I wouldn’t feel obligated to keep them in for too long because the hair is reasonably priced and I don’t have to pay for labor costs. Plus, I still had plenty of access to my scalp.
However, since I am not skilled enough to do my own sew in and netting will be a direct barrier between my scalp and I there is no getting around said fear…or so I thought. Who would have thought that clip ins* could be used in basically the same way as a sew in?
It turns out that this is a great protective style that will still allow you the versatility to wear your hair down (like a sew in) but with the added plus of being able to take them out and tend to your hair on wash day as usual.
Although Missy Lynn in the video below used a cap you could also braid your hair in rows and attach the clips onto the braids that way. Plus, like she mentioned, clips ins are super easy to make at home meaning you can customize them to your own head!
With winter rapidly approaching this will be a great way to protect my ends from the cold while still rocking some of the styles I love. Check out the video below by Missy Lynn
Wait she put a cap on her hair then added clip ins? Am i seeing the pic clearly
Looks nice
I had a client who constantly uses clip-in’s and they have broken her hair off terribly. I think the little metal combs that snap to your natural hair basically tend to saw through your strands. And regarding sew-in’s, I use them all the time as a protective style but I don’t use a net because I like to have access to my scalp also. That way, I can still spray my natural oils on my scalp and massage it..
That is good to know regarding the breakage because I use clip-in’s sometimes.
I wear clip ins but what in the world is the cap and the hair wrap for ???!
I was wondering the samething I was thinking so you do not have to clip to your actual hair maybe.
That looks more like a half wig…
its prevents the combs from pulling your hair out. 🙂
I use clip ins but without the cap or wrapping my hair I just put them in while my hair is out it makes my hair more manageable ( its layered & shoulder length) but I put it into a ponytail or two twists & the back out or a simple braid
That’s a half wig
its not a half wig. it’s clip ins. 🙂
its clip ins love.
Her name is MissyLynn she’s on youtube, && that’s how she does her clip ins, she has a video on it.. its not a half wig!!
May have to try this.
Never thought about wearing weaves as a protective style but think I’ll try it. Looks easy
Ok nw I get it…she added the clip ins through the cap lol
How can you use clip ins with a cap, the caption is all wrong. Besides when I used clip ins they broke my hair off so much. Never again!!
watch the video babe. its possible.
Looks nice!
Wow its like magic unbeweavable.
Good one Tosha very clever indeed .
Great video girl. Makes it very easy for a girl to get her hair done easily, quickly and without breaking the bank.
I think I wanna try this next..
Where can I get sum clip ins at
Looks good
This is cute!
Wow! That’s slick! Lol

I agree with Ms. Cotton, my clip ins weren’t the truth for my hair. Bit it’s cute on the model.
You can keep your side
Weakens hair roots
Thank you Sabrina Honeycloud ❤️
Oh, so that is what we calling it now “protective”, lmao! I didn’t know our hair needed to be protected with fake white hair, lmao!
Love it she’s so beautiful! !!
The cap is to keep your hair from getting loose under the wig and sliding out of the edges of the wig. As for the metal hair clip-ins they actually cut African American girls hair right off where they are clipped in, from the weight of the hair attached and God knows what ever else is done to the hair while the clip-ins are attached.
You can take the wig off every night and at times when you need too, especially when you’re going to the gym.
Very cute – love the idea.
I sub to her on YouTube. Unless you make your own clip ins. It’s expensive.
Missy!!!
I already do mines like this
Let try it together when I get home!! We can make them.
I wear clip ins a I’m wearing then in my profile pic. Sometimes I braid my hair and clip them in on top of the braids.
I used to wear clip ins all the time during my transition and i made them myself
One of my favorite protective styles..I make mine… buy your hair as usual ….I buy thread needle and clips from Sally’s ..
What kind of clips do u use
