Q&A for How to Braid Extensions

When you're adding the extension into the braid, take smaller sections or slices of hair and stitch them into your braid to help secure it.

Create rows of horizontal cornrows as a base for the weave. Section the hair off in 1" strips and make very tight French-style braids. The wefts are then sown into these.

To finish the ends of a braid, wrap the hair in an elastic band or scrunchy. If you don't want to tie the braid off, you can backcomb tightly and spray the hair with a strong-hold hairspray.

For a four-strand braid, you need to weave the strands across each other. Starting on the left, you cross a strand over the closest strand and under the following strand. Then, from the opposite side, cross a strand over the strand next to it then under the following one. Alternate back and forth between sides inverting the pattern until you reach the ends of the hair.

You can create braids using a variety of different methods. The simplest is to divide a section into thirds and then alternate crossing the outside strands over the center strand.

You can wear the extensions for up to 3 months if you are taking good care of them, but remove them if they start to hurt or come loose before then.

Wash your scalp once a week, then massage your scalp with a little oil to increase the circulation and remove dead skin cells.

Braid cornrows into you hair. Sew your tails to your cornrows. Attach the extensions with a latch hook. Pull the extensions through. Repeat the same latch hook process.

Start as if you are doing them on a human.

You really just cornrow and that's it, without adding extensions.

If you mean extensions, you can usually burn them together.

You would just braid natural hair as usual, and stop at the point where you want to incorporate the extensions into the hair.
