Hi my name is Lauren and today we are here to discuss how to braid in hair extensions.
You are going to want to start by sectioning the hair into smaller squares. The squares
are going to help you get your hair actually sectioned so that way you know where to start
the braid. I am going to be using a little bit of string in order to really show you
how to do it. You are going to grab one of your little square sections and you are going
to put that hair actually around it. Now ultimately this would be hair this would not be string
but I just wanted to show you exactly how to do it. You can tie it up at the top in
a small knot so that way it will stay and then you are simply going to section the hair
into three sections in order to get your braid. Divide it into three sections and start to
braid down the hair shaft. If you are looking for the entire extension to be a braid then
you would just continue braiding all the way down in order to get your hair a little bit
longer. If you are not looking for the entire extension to be your braid you can stop it
mid way and use a protein bond or some sort of glue in order to glue it there so the rest
of the hair will fall naturally but it will add that length. If you are going all the
way to the end you can just continue braiding all the way down. If you are using synthetic
hair a good way to actually even prevent your hair from going if you are braiding all the
way down is just to singe the bottoms with a lighter. Synthetic hair because it is synthetic
it will melt and then it will seal off that braid so then that way you don't have to use
any clips. I suggest not to singe even if it is synthetic hair even if you wanted your
hair to go from here and then just kind of fall straight down. I would recommend using
some sort of glue or protein bond or maybe even tying it off on the top. You want to
make sure the tie isn't that noticeable so that way maybe you can even actually, it's
not very noticeable that you have the extension. And that is how you braid in hair extensions.
