Make your own clips in bangs for a no-maintenance hair style.
This little DIY that can totally change your hair but doesn't require any awkward cutting or growing out periods. The other day I was out shopping and saw clip in bangs. They looked pretty cool but were uber expensive so I decided to make my own. The only downside to the DIY version is that you have to wear a ribbon to cover the seam but there's nothing wrong with a little encouragement to decorate yourself with bows right?

Step 1
First for the making! Straighten the hair you're working with, it makes it easier to manage and judge length.
Step 2
Cut off the existing clips or attachments.
Step 3
You will now be left with hair on a seam. Do this until you have a few layers because you need the bangs to be nice and thick.
Step 4
Layer up your seams and sew them together (You don't have to be very neat here as long as its relatively strong). Also at this point check they are the right width for your head.
Step 5
You now have the hair you will be working with!
Step 6
Re-attach some clips- one in the middle and one at each side.
Step 7
Finally cut your bangs. It's better to cut a little at a time than to suddenly realise you've cut it way too short.
Step 8
Yay! All finished! I left some little tendrils at the sides as well because they make it look a little more natural.
Step 9
Now for the styling! Unclip all your fastenings.
Step 10
Clip your bangs on.
Step 11
Use a straightening iron to slightly curl your bangs under. This makes them look less rough.
Step 12
See? Much better.
Step 13
Since you can still see the seam you will need to cover it. You can get a little creative here, I usually use a ribbon but in the past I've used plaits or curls of my own hair.
Step 14
Ta-daa!
