Hi, my name is Michi, and today I'm going to be demonstrating a three part, so in also known as the flip method, so in this particular so in allows you to put a part either on the left or the right side, as well as in the middle. As you can see, I've already braided the hair and prepared it for the install. The three-part method is a little more complicated because you have to make sure that you have enough leave out on the top, as well as on the sides and around a perimeter. We also left her back out, but she wants to be able to wear it into ponytails and buns. Today, I'm going to be using 18-inch a 16 inch and a 14 inch of Kashmir extensions just to give her more fullness and a more layered look. So basically, I'm just going to start my install by applying the hair on the bottom under the first braid and just bring it each trap all the way around in a you tight shape. I'M going to continue doing this all the way around and if I reach the crown over here for this particular install, I'm gon na actually be using a different thread. This is a silk thread. I'Ll typically use the cotton thread, but I'm gon na test out the silk thread just to see, if I like it better so far, it seems to be a little bit stronger than the cotton thread so I'll. Keep you guys posted on what I liked about it and if I like it better than the actual cotton thread, so once again, I'm actually starting my install at the end well above her ear. This is gon na allow fullness in the front and all throughout the hair. So you want to start your your sewing right on the edge above the ear at the end of the braid. Just continue it all the way around now, usually, once I get to the ends of the braid, I like to fold the hair down, sometimes you can fold the hair down, but sometimes you don't want to fold the hair down. You want to just go ahead and cut it, because it's more important to have a flat so and then to try to actually save bundles. So you want to make sure that the style looks its best. So if folding doesn't really work, then you want to just go ahead and cut the West in this case folding. It is laying pretty flat so I'll keep folding until I feel the need to go ahead and cut the ends of the weft. Now, in this case, on this particular side, I don't want this bulkiness from folding the weft, so I'm gon na go ahead and just cut it. A lot of people are concerned with whether you'll get a lot of shedding from the hair when you cut the weft. But if you have a good quality brand hair like posh hair extensions, you won't have to worry about any excessive shedding so far. I kind of like the still thread it's a little bit slippery err, then the cotton and it's taking some getting used to, but I like the smoothness of it and it's not tangling or creating knots as I'm pulling through the web right now. I'M kind of like stitching on top of the previous track, just because we love so much leave out. I want to make sure I can still get about three bundles of hair in her head. As you can see, I'm going underneath the weft with the needle some people like to go on top of the West, but to me it tends to make this track kind of stick up so going underneath the weft kind of like helps to pull it down. Sort of lay flat, so that's just one little tip just to kind of help. You get a flatter so and it's just to go underneath the web instead of above it. So basically, what I just did was just took the rubber bands off my leave out in the back and, as you can see, she has enough coverage for the tracks, so she should be fine to pull it up into ponytails as well as fun. So we've completed the sides - the bottom section, as well as the back remember, to keep this hair in a ponytail, because this is the leave out. So you don't want it to get in the way as you're stitching. So we're just going to go in now and fill in her upper sections, which will start allowing more fullness on her sides. Okay, what I'm gon na do now is begin. The install of the tracks for her upper side and, typically on the so in. I would curb the tracks around just to add fullness in the face, but since we want to be able to flip this over, you want to just put the tracks just straight in that way: you'll better comb it over to the side. If you curve the tracks around you'll have like a hump trying to curve it over, so we're just going to lay the tracks in straight on the sides on both sides. Again, we are cutting the track on the end, because if we try to flip it over it's going to leave a hump, I consider the Vixen go in as well as the three-part method, more of upscale so ends. So, it's more so about making sure that the hair is laying flat and not necessarily trying to flip the track over and fold it for the purpose of saving the hair. You want to make sure that the sole ends is laying completely flat. Okay. Now we have completed her install and what I'm gon na do now is just basically style it in all the different directions and put the part on each side and down the middle. So you can see how versatile the three part method is. I hope you enjoyed my tutorial on the three parts - oh and also known as the flip method.

Comments
It's Me Miss Ruby: I'm so happy to finally find a stylist who knows how to TEACH! Lol. You go girl!
KO Doom: this was very well-presented. i read ppl commenting about how the hair isn't the same color but that's besides the point. this vid isn't meant to be about hair color; it's about technique. Meechie's aiding people who achieve this look on their own at home yet all ppl have to say is "the hair's off?" ..that's so rude. kudos to u, Meechie, for kindly showing us the entire technique; it's versatile and very well done!
Launch MOBs: This was relaxing to watch and the end result was beautiful. You have great teaching skills. Also, I love how the colors looked like beautiful brown streaks blended with the sew-in. Excellent work!
Jina Gina Bowbina: I love your professionalism and in depth teachings. I look forward to more of your tutorials♡

Royal Lynne 🦋: The technique you used to sew her hair in was bomb but here’s a tip your braids in the back could be just a little smaller and in the beehive method to save bundles and less shedding but overall that sewn in was bomb I learned from you today how to cut down a vixen sewn in (4 parts) into only 3 and get the same exact look thank you for sharing your skills and talent

Elmenia Azula-Jones: This was an awesome tutorial!!! Your work is amazing and very helpful...
Lyric Phillips: Really good styling and I was skeptical at first about her braid pattern but I actually want to do this. One comment though, as a stylist I feel she should have dyed her clients hair to match the weave or dyed the weave to match her clients hair color. My biggest pet peeve and something that makes my skin crawl is when real hair and weave hair don't match!
