How to braid your hair with hair extensions?
French braid
- Part your hair in the middle and divide it into two parts, putting aside one part.
- Decide where you want the braid to start and divide the hair into three sections.
- Attach the Easy Braid pieces with hairpins or small hairbands under the sections you divided in the previous step. Place the sections over the Easy Braid pieces to form three thick, long sections.
- Start braiding by placing the right-hand section over the middle section. The right-hand section now becomes the middle section. Then place the left-hand section over this middle section. Repeat.
- To create a French braid, take a section from your own hair that is loose and add to the outer section that is placed over the middle section. Do this every time you place an outer section over the middle section until all the hair has been used up.
- Continue braiding to the end and secure with a hairband.
- Repeat steps 2–6 with the hair you put aside in step 1.
