How to install a partial side part sew in weave by yourself with leave out. Easy. How to sew in your weave that looks natural yourself on your own head. This is a step by step self install tutorial from start to finish on how to put in a weave on your own hair yourself at home. This versatile sew in can be for beginners, short hair, or long hair and is done with out cutting the wefts/tracks which are sewn under the braids around the perimeter inorder to hide the tracks. I have found this to be the best braid pattern for side part sew ins. For a sew in that you can put into a ponytail or a high bun, just leave out hair in the back so you can put your sew in into a high ponytail or bun. Since I don't like to wear all of my hair up, I did not leave out any hair in the back.

So the first step in installing your weave is braiding down your hair. Now this can be hard, especially if you don't know how to breathe, but you can still do your own sewing without knowing how to braid. All you have to do is get someone else. Who can braid to braid down your hair? For you? All you do is show them your braiding pattern that you will need and let them braid it for you, and they shouldn't charge you more than twenty or thirty dollars to do this. So either you can go to someone else to braid your hair for you. If you can't braid, but if you can braid, then you can go ahead and bring your here yourself. So if you're braiding you're here yourself, the first thing that you will need to do is section off you leave out. So whenever I sectioned out my leave out, I part my hair, where I want it to be, and then I take like an inch from both sides just enough that I will know to cover the tracks and make that my leave out now. Since I have done many leaves before I know just about how much I need to cover up my traps, but if it's your first time, then you can get a track and put it right on top of your hair and then put your hair over it. Just to see and make sure that they hear that you want to leave out will be enough to cover the track depending on how you want to do your sewing. You can either only leave out here where you're going to have your part, or you can leave out here we're going to have your part and around the perimeter or on the front. Usually I just leave out here around where I'm going to have my part, but this time I decided to leave out here where I'm going to have my part and around just the front of my hair. So when the wind blows it can blow back really and then I can put it up and like half-up half-down style and just have a little bit more variety with my hair. So once you've sectioned out you leave out the next thing that you will need to do is start braiding your here. So what I do when I braid my hair is, I start from my leave out and I just braid down into the middle. So I do one braid like that one brie like that one braid all the way until I get to the back and as I finish, each braid, I just use a small goody rubberband to close off the braid. So, in my opinion, the braid down is the hardest part of the leaf, because braiding is what takes the most skill, but the way I learned how to braid and the way I would tell anyone to learn how to braid is to either practice on their own. Here a lot or to go out and buy one of these here, practicing mannequins, I don't mind from Sally's and whatever I was just watching TV or movies, or anything like that at home. I would just have this in my lap and I practice braiding on it and over time you just get better and better, and eventually you can braid your own hair with practice. You you. So this is the completed braiding pattern and, after I finish braiding it I'm just adding my scalp, because it's important that you or your scalp scalp to keep it moisturized, and so now what I'm doing is I'm taking the excess braids and I'm tucking them in to Wherever there's extra space in my hair and tuck by tucking, the excess braids into the gaps in between the braids that you already have, your hair will lay extremely flat. So, instead of sewing the brace together, I'm just following pinning them down, and whenever I solve it here on to the braids, I just grab all of the braids with it, so that the take down will be a little bit easier and I don't have to worry. As much about having to I'm so the braids in potentially cutting my own hair, you so now, I'm just grabbing my hair, and so I'm looking at where I want to start and I'm placing a bobby pin there just to hold it up and make it easier For me, and I'm going around so that to wear it, I want it to end and putting another bobby pin there to hold it up, and so then I'm just threading the needle and tying off the end and cutting off the thread. So the way I start sewing is after I placed the weft against the braid like, so I get the needle and I sew it under the braid, but I don't go through the actual weft and I go under the braid like so and then before I pull It all the way through I open up the thread like that and I go through the thread and that's what will cause it to not like that and then your weft isn't going anywhere. When you do that - and I usually start a little bit not at the beginning of the braid just so I can have a more secure base to so on and then I go back and I go and I do the same thing. But now, instead of opening the thread to loop, it through you just loop it through like normal, like that and that isn't going anywhere. So then you continue to go along the braid going under the braid and looping the thread around the needle and tightening it. And you just continue going along the hair so right now, I'm showing you how I do it when I try and grab multiple braids into the loop. I just go under all of the braids as I do it, and I just do it like normal, and this makes takedown easier, like I said before, because as you take out the thread that is binding, the West to the braids you're, also taking out the threads That are binding, the braids to each other. So once I get to the end, I just loop it multiple times and I cut off the excess and then I tie it twice and cut off the excess so now. This is why we put the thread under the braids as we sew, because whenever you flip it back like I'm showing right here, you won't be able to Steve the braids. So then, you just continue sewing and instead of cutting the tracks which you're not supposed to do because it promotes shedding. I am just flipping over the left and I just continue sewing like normal after I flipped it over you and again, I'm just Bobby pinning it at the end of the road that I'm going to braid on to because it makes it easier to just loop. The thread all the way down and not have to worry about, holding the left up as I'm going and again, I'm just going through all of the braids that I can feel with my hands and getting them all in the thread. And once I get to the end of the row, I just fold the track over again and and continue going up the row till I reach the end and flip it over so you're, basically just repeating the same process over and over back and forth, and back And forth so now, I'm finished with my first a bundle here and I'm grabbing my second and I'm just starting it the same way. I started the first one Bobby pinning it in place to make it easier to sew. Then I just looped it around a few extra times, the normal sense. This was the beginning of a new bundle. You then I continue to flip. It back been set up going all the way to the end of my each row. I stopped early just so I could bill in the middle, you you and then once the middle was filled in pretty well. I started going higher and higher and I also I have those body pins there, because I as I go. Sometimes you notice that there are a few bumps in your hair and if you notice that early, it's just good to go ahead and body pin them down. So, at the end of your installation, everything will lay flat, because I find that, no matter what you do, sometimes those lumps in your hair kind of inevitable. So just ball, you pin them down when you see them and they'll go away. So now I'm getting closer to the top of my hair, and I keep on going just as I've done before, going back and forth back and forth around going all the way to the end of the row and then flipping it back and as you can see, Right now we're getting really really close to my leave out and you want it to be very close, so it'll be easy to cover up the tracks. So you just so on to the here that is available and then once you've reached the end. You just cut off whatever is left and finish it off like so and that's it so and then you just take out your V Bell and blend it into the hair like so and as you can see this here blends so well with my own hair. This is the rose: Oh Queen, hair products, Brazilian kinky straight here and I'll. Have the information down in the description box below and yeah this here blunt with my hair, so well, I'm really liking was here and the installation. The way this braid pattern works. I'Ve tried multiple braid pattern until I found that this is the best, and especially once you tuck in your excess braids into the little gaps you're going to have really really flat here. Everything lays completely flat and because I left here out in the front, I can do different things with it. I can um like do half-up half-down when the hair, my hair blows in the wind, don't have to worry, I can just do anything with it and I really like how it turned out. So installing your own weave may seem hard to do at first, but you do get better with practice and so just try it out for yourselves, and I really hope that this video helped you and yeah you

I told the hairdresser and her response was 'you're probably tender headed' and it shouldn't pull as you have leave out it'll loosen in a few days. I'm not sure if I should just take the whole thing out
