Consult with a Professional Stylist

Before you start, it is crucial to consult with a professional stylist to help you choose the right type of hair extensions that complement your natural hair. They can also tell you the right color and texture that would match your face shape and personal style.

Wash and Condition Your Natural Hair

It is important to prepare your natural hair before starting. Wash and condition your hair thoroughly to make it clean and free from dirt and oil. Dry it thoroughly before starting to braid.

Braid Your Natural Hair

Part your hair from the center of your head to the back. Divide your hair into two sections and begin with one section at a time. Start braiding your hair using the cornrow braid technique, ensuring that the braids are small and neat. Follow the same pattern across the back of your head.

Install the Hair Extensions

Take a weft of hair extensions and place them on top of the braids at the back of your head. Weave the extensions into your braids using a crochet hook. Ensure that the weave is tightly secured with the braid. Repeat the process until you have covered the entire back of your head with the hair extensions.

Style and Finish

Now that you have installed the hair extensions, it is time to style and finish the look. Trim the extensions to achieve the desired length, and style it as desired. You can opt for a straight or wavy look, whichever suits you best. Using a silk scarf, wrap the hair gently to get the desired sleekness.

Conclusion
