Braidless Sew-in Time Saving Tips

Well, obviously having five or more threaded needles is a given "time saving" tip, but bead application is an entirely separate step.  I have found that the threaders from the children's bead packages work great to always have beads ready to apply.  Careful, some brands have "threaders" that are not flexible enough to slip the aluminum beads on.  So I ended up with a few bead packages that I had to just give away because the threaders were too big.

The "Tomorrow Bead Collection" Brand had the most flexible threaders inside the bead packages.  The Chloe brand had threaders that were too large for my micro aluminum beads.  Five or six threaders pre-beaded can save a lot of time along with pre-threaded needles!

Tool Review: Donna Hair Threader

I just picked up this threader from Sally's Beauty Supply.  It is designed to be used with the microlink method of installing hair extensions.  However, it could easily be used as a bead threader or an interlocking tool for locks.

Price was around $3.00.  Not bad for a multi-purpose tool.  Micro-links extensions also require a second tool that resemble pliers.  One inch of hair at a time should always be used for anchoring micro-links.  There is more strength in numbers when it comes to hair.

Multi-purpose Natural Hair Tool

Do you know what these are?  If you have little girls with plaits and pigtails, then you probably already know what they are.  Okay, time is up . . . . and the answer is . . .

Yes, hair bead threaders!!!!  The smaller white one came from the $4.00 bead package.  The larger one is sold individually for $1.00.

Now, for the multi-purpose use for these threaders . . .  they can be altered to interlock locks according to one youtube channel.  Just cut the ends off and smooth out any edges with a cigarette lighter for "do it yourself" interlocking.
