Fibreglass knots, which are also called Brazilian, not extensions, are fairly simple to learn and they last for a very long time. You can use bulk, hair, pre, bonded tips or weft as long as you cut the hair off and I'm going to show you how to do this installation we're going to take a small section of the natural hair and match the extension hair to that we're going To leave the ends, sticking out the top I'm going to clip this out of the way so that I can show you, but you can choose to hold that in place. If you like, we are going to leave one leg of the thread hanging down and we're going to wrap with the other side. You need to use an elastic matrix thread for this. You can't use regular thread because you need that stretch and grip, so we're going to hold that and wrap with the other side. Oops, I messed up the hair a little bit. You want to make sure that the hair is nice and free of cross hairs. So we're going to just start our wrapping technique and watch your position. You don't want to lift up too much. You want that hair to be angled in the direction that you want it to go. I'M also wrapping up towards the scalp a bit to get it tighter once I've got it in this position, I'm going to take one end, pull it over and pull my knot through. I'M going to repeat that again three times and then I'm going to let that one drop and I'm going to pick up the other side of the thread and I'm going to go around three times on this twice three times. I am using a black thread, but you would want to match your thread to your natural root color. So now that I have those knots in place, I'm going to find both of my ends of thread and I'm going to knot this three times right now. I'M also pulling the hair out of the way, so I don't get any cross hairs, so I'm going to go once twice three times and that's really all there is to it it's very simple: it is very tedious. I'M going to cut away the ends of your thread and then you're going to come up to the top and you're going to cut away all of the excess hair. That'S sticking out of the top you're going to be very careful not to cut cut the natural hair, so I always hold the hair out and cut along the bond that way. You'Re missing all the natural hair, but that's all there is to it you're going to keep working in rows until you have completed all the bonds for your installation. Brazilian knots are just as simple to remove you're going to cut in along the fiber and you're. Just going to cut until that thread opens up and once you've cut open. The bond that thread will simply unravel. Removal is simple: if you keep your hair organized they're, ready to go right back in for your next installation. You

Orla: This is by far the easiest to follow and most thorough tutorial on Brazilian knots I have come across on! Thank you, instant sub!
༺ ♕ Lᴏʟʟᴀ Jᴏʜᴀɴssᴏɴ ♕ ༻: OMG! This look soooo amazing! Didn't know you could do this! :O How about hair texture? Can I also use this even though I have very thick hair?
MarzStar’s HauteWire: Love this! My hair dresser is an og hair police guy. He does pinch braids on all my hair. Love him & this method … but he’s so busy (and pricy, though worth it) & if it were someone else’s head, I could totally do it but on my own, nope… So I’m trying to invent some way to like prefab hair that I can install myself. I’m thinking some sort of combo of Brazilian knot/pinchbraid or moreso like something like prelooped hair works, like w dread extensions or crochet extensions!! Andrew’s technique is totally like yours you prolly know each other ha. How he’ll cut the hair off the weft (tape lately cause I get rad grey or lilac via Amazon) then blend them a bit in two hands then folds a couple inches over w thread and braids into a strand of my hair then ties the thread into a knot. It lasts forever! I’ve seen this done w/o thread just by tying some of the hair itself, and I though Brazilian knots were different! This is cool cause I wouldn’t have to lose so much length from both cutting and folding… though if I could maybe rig these up to a base, for creation, I’m thinking there’s gotta be many ways I could kinda prefabricate something for installing on myself. There’s crochet loop hair for black hair I’ve seen recently and I’m like yeasss but hmm could I make that myself? (My hairs still all in pieces, w little bit of dreading on each from time… so that could work fit my advantage, for what ever it is I could do !! Was thinking maybe affixing two pieces (I mean one extensions worth, not a strand of hair ha,) together at the top like the loop hair that’s open rather than looped … either w keratin or a bead or both. W an elastic in between… then the expensive ass 22-24 inch hair I get could actually still be that long… & THIS thought is the most exciting. Or maybe still folding some over then …Brazilian knotting!? Or keratin glueing? Or even a dumb ol ckear elastic or pinch bead or something… the beads are so small and too annoying to do all on my head. If I could think of a way to make a loop too that’s make things self installable I feel like there must be a simple answer… ANY ideas or thoughts very appreciated! I feel this is an idea needing fulfillment… so much so that it must exist. I know how to bake dreads, just like you do ‘em… but using human hair is the issue here… OOOOOH WAIT maybe I just a new idea!… somehow maybe using some synthetic hair along w the human fit installation/prefabrication’s sake?… and yes my hair will need to be taken out and refine or I’m essentially just getting dreads anyways but Just wanted to write and ask and share. You’re awesome! So glad to see you’re still going and there’s more to learn from you all the time. On pink hair, too;) I’m naturally curly I do not like it. I go lilac pastels pink grey overtoned platinum lavender baby bloo etc… cheers xo, marz*
Love Bug: Excellent tutorial! I am trained in fusion and microlinks. For price point purposes would this technique be more , less, or right around the same in terms of what I would charge a client?

LATOYA MC: So would it be easy if I try to install hair on my own head. Did you ever try fiber knot on your own hair? If so please help.
Joshua Young: this seems nice and healthy for your hair, but rather outdated. that would take so so long to do a full set. tape is the way to go!
Perler Angel: Is there a way to create your own clip on wefts using this technique? I am looking for a way to add temporary color to my every day wear wig. Sometimes I feel like adding in some blue or pink and I also am very crafty and instead of buying them want to make my own weft/clip in extensions. But I don't want to damage or permanently alter my wig so I thought clip in extensions using this technique would be a great idea your advice would be greatly appreciated!
