How to Make Striped "Coontail" Extensions

Post by IKickShins » Thu Aug 21, 2008 3:11 am

What You will Need
- Three inches of wefted human hair
- Two weave clips
- A needle and thread
- Tape
- A piece of cardboard
- Hair dye
- Latex gloves

Instructions
1. Cut your 3 inch piece of hair in half. Each half will be a single streak. For thicker streaks, use 6 inches instead and use two layers of hair instead of one.

2. Sew the sections of hair onto your weave clips. If the clip has holes in it, sew through each hole. If your cliips don't have holes across the top, you can sew through the teeth in the comb.

Thanks!

I should have another one done in a week or so that uses a tint brush and no tape.

I had been wondering about these, and the rainbow ones as well. Thanks for sharing your tips with us. Very helpful. :P

Thank you. I've recently discovered I have a certain fondness for these and I have a bit of left over blue dye I dont use =D *searches for weft on eBay*
To begin with, a dog is not mad. you see a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I am mad.

I have my own coontails 2 =D
can I add a little tip?
if you're afraid that you're gonna screw up,
you can put some tape around the parts that you don't want to colour ;)

I love rainbows =D

That's where the tape goes in the tutorial too. If you put tape over the colored parts, there'd be no way to dye them.
