2.Begin by washing or wetting your hair and doing cornrows. To do cornrows, get a chunk of your hair and separate this into smaller chunks and braid them. Then, you may start from the front of your head going to the back. Get some help from a friend if you are having difficulty doing cornrows for those hard to reach parts.
3.After making cornrows about 4-5 inches long or depending on your hair length, sew in the weave to the cornrow. Overlap the first part of the weave with last inch of the cornrow.
4.Do the stitching method using a curved needle in the same exact circular order until the weave is securely attached to the base of your cornrow. This takes about 7-10 times. Ensure that it is attached well by genlty tugging on the weave. Ask for assistance from a friend if possible to avoid getting poked when sewing.
5.When you feel that the hair weave or extension is completed, place the needle lengthwise along the side of the extension. Insert the needle below all the loops of the stitching and tie off the thread. Repeat this several times until you feel that the extension is secured.
6.Dry off your hair; add your personal touch or bling and you're ready to go!
