I Would Like Longer Fuller Hair

For your clients who wants longer fuller hair you may want to offer putting in hair extensions. Extensions are a way for your clients to have a temporary length, color or added fullness. There are many different types of extensions and different way to put them in. Some ways you can put in extensions are by sewing them in, gluing, braiding or fusion and many more. Today we will be talking about some brief steps to putting in a  full head sewn in weave. When ever you are doing extensions you want to make sure the hair is washed and thoroughly dry. You want make sure you map out a plan on how you will blend the natural hair and the extensions together if you are not closing up the top. We will be going over the steps to a full head sewn in weave with a closure on top.

You want to begin with braiding down the persons natural hair in corn rows. There are many different ways you can braid the hair for the style you are trying to achieve. Today you can try with making braids across the back of the in a horizontal sections and going back and forth in a snake like motion. Continue this braiding technique all the way up the head to the top.When finish braiding thread your needle like you would if you was sewing clothes. Sewn down the ends of the hair to the cornrows. Measure your weft ( the hair extension) across the length of the braid cut it at the end where it fits the length. Push you C shaped needle through the sewn part of the weft and then begin to sew the weft to the braid making a X shape. Do this measuring and sewing across the braid up the head making sure to keep the tracks close together. 

Continue up the head past the ears going in a C shaped from ear to ear. When  you reach the top of the head you want to sew in a circle until you have a inch wide circle in diameter. When you reach your inch diameter you can measure the weave closure ( closes the top of the extension ) to make sure none   of the natural hair is being shown.  You can cut and style it the way your client will like.
