Reacting To Best Sew In Techniques! | Breanna Reacts! | Episode #3

Hello: everyone, my name is Brianna Rudder, I'm an internet, hair, stylist and content creator, and you are watching Brianna reacts in this video. We are going to be watching the best sew in hairstyles. That means we have all the best tips, tricks and techniques from all around the internet, wrapped up into one video. So let's go ahead and watch them and see what happens so. The first technique is the frontal sew-in. This is my first frontal sew-in ever like. I never did a sew in so I'm pretty excited to see how this is so. This is her first frontal sew-in. So let's see what happens, let's not be too harsh. You know this her first time, but I got a feeling that it's gon na turn out. Good, I should be ciao to prep for my ball cap. The ball cap is really needed because if you don't have a slate or a Flawless ball cap, like your install, is like that's just the first step to uploadless install excited to use a pantyhose. Instead of a stocking cap, it gives them what she's using her pantyhose instead of a stocking cap. That'S very interesting, I wonder why is it because the pantyhose makes it a little tighter and makes it lay flatter like? What'S the difference I want to know? Am I missing out on any secrets more neutral natural look, so what she's doing now is spraying down her edges with the got to be glue, hair spray and then she's gon na dry it normally. I see it the opposite way when people do this technique. I really didn't have to do much, but I'm just going in and just thinning out some parts that I want to I'm just cutting the excess. That frontal looks super good. I'M excited to see how it's going to look once she installs it to get ready to apply her um frontal on. This is indeed, in fact, the ball cap method, because it really does look like she has a bald head. So after adding makeup, she's gluing down the parts that were lifting, then I'm gon na go in with makeup and put the same makeup I put on her cap, I'm gon na put it directly on her frontal. You just put on makeup on the so, instead of like tinting the lace to look her skin color she's, just using makeup, it's a super, easy, quick way to blend it in with the natural skin color front, the scalp part it's just not gon na look right. So make sure you just do the front and the back as well elastic bands like it helps so make sure you add the elastic band to that frontal, I'm going in again with the book. I want 1000 agree with the fact that elastic band is definitely going to help that frontal to lay, because, even if it lifts up in the front, you still have that elastic band, holding it down to your head, so that it doesn't completely come off, especially if It'S not sewn down, but in this case I think she's going to sew down the frontal all tall, late school and I'm applying this time, but I'm doing clients. I like to use three to four layers for an extra hole. She was going on vacation. The next she's losing about three to four layers. Now a part of me wonders if it's gon na like actually last longer or just allow it to just stick better initially. So let me know down in the comments, because I normally don't wear frontals. Is it better to do multiple layers of glue for certain occasions or not next day, so we needed this frontal B to be laid blow dryer just to like really melt that lace in and you want to use like a medium heat. You don't want to use too high for the glue to turn white to cut your lace. Do not use a scissors to cut your lace. Ladies, like you need to use a eyebrow razor, I'm cutting the front of her hairline to match her um, her hairline, and you know I'm going in with my hot comb. My hot comb is from Amazon, and this is my favorite hot comb to you. Yes, using a hot comb to lay down the hairs of a frontal or any type of wig, it's super clutch. This allows you to not have that like slight hump. Look where your part is because the hot comb actually makes your hair lay super flat going down. This frontal after I prepped everything I just went in and sewed on the front, so I'm just going to go in and sew these bundles. Let me tell you how long it took me to sew these bundles. It took me a no lie like about hour. You see that late see, even though this is her first time doing a sew-in. The fact that it took her an hour is amazing for the slow down the bundles, but also she didn't have to sew down her entire head with bundles, because the front of her hair had a frontal, but for this being her first time. That was extremely quick for her to only take an hour to sew down all those bundles like. I am very impressed. It'S like what lace like that's straight help like oh, my gosh. This is my first frontal sewing, I'm just shocked. The lace literally does look as good as what she's saying, because I could see it with my own eyes that lace is melted, honey, melted at the results like it's late already, and then I'm going in with my makeup that I put on house on her um Cap, I'm mumbling I'm going down the part, so it could be a nice Sleek part gon na do my see, that's very smart, to make sure that her part actually Blends in with her skin is to use some makeup. But I'm wondering: do you all like to use powdered makeup or a cream makeup when doing your part? And why? Because I'm wondering, if there's really a difference, I got to be I'm just laying everything and guys this in skull was really fire, and you know the hot whoa. This install looks flawless back home is to just make sure everything is flat, as the wrapping strip is really really good to set your baby hair. Just leave your client for, like two three minutes take off the wrapping strip and bottom look at these Flawless results. Guys, like I did that her excitement for her first sewing is actually making me excited to want to see her first sew in so I fully appreciate this technique. Next is traditional sew-in, so first things first, of course, is a braiding down this braid pattern, making sure it's all nice and neat and, as you can tell those braids look extremely flat, especially near where the area of leave out will be. Yes, that is a beautiful braid pattern perfect. So now that she's sewing down the back, I'm noticing that the bundles look a little bit thicker on the weft and it's probably because she has doubled it or tripled it. Now, the most I've ever sewn down at once. As far as a row is doing it like triple bundle, but then you don't want to do that too much, because it can make your sewing look bulky so now that she's, like almost at the top, it looks like she's doing a single, so wet one thing: I'M noticing, with her braid pattern, is that all the braids are braided away from the leave out versus doing the snaking method. Where they're like hugging a leave out, and I think when you braid it away from the leave out, it allows for it to Look a Lot flatter at the top. Now, when you're sewing in that last row at the top at the very edge of the hairline, you want to be extremely careful, because if you do too many knots, it's going to make it extremely sore and it's going to hurt. So you don't have to overdo the knots when you finish off, you just do the same amount or maybe just one little extra. Oh it's time to blend the leave out. So how do y'all like to blend your leave out when you do it with straight hair? Do you like to use rollers that are like larger, so that it can give more of a smaller appearance, or do you like to just straight up use a flat iron look at those results? These results are seamless. Next is a natural hair sew-in? Oh, this is pretty. It literally looks like her real hair. Okay, so now she's putting ponytails in hold up thought. This was a sew-in. What'S going on she's flat, twisting her leave out that way, it's a lot easier to take down. You know so now: she's braiding the tiniest braid possible near the leave out area. Now I know sometimes it could be annoying to have to bring them small, but trust me. It really does make your sew-ins look flat and neat because it has to be small around the areas where your leave out is going to be all right. I'M noticing that from the last video all the braids were going away from the leave out, but in this case she has a braid going around the leave out and then she has the rest of the braids going down in the opposite direction. Braid pattern completes so now she's going to be adding a weaving cap. I don't think she needs it, but maybe it's something that you know she's doing that's just a little bit different than what I'm usually seeing. Oh, you see how she's sewing that first bundle down where it's kind of going towards her face. It actually allows for you to have more fullness near the front of your face when your bundles are actually sewn in that direction. First versus when you go back and forth side to side, it keeps more of the bulk near the base or the back of your head and the sides. But if you make sure that when you start sewing, you start at the very top and the track is coming down, it allows for more fullness near the front of your face and the thing is she picked a really good curl pattern because it looks extremely natural, Especially if she goes to fluff this out, it's going to look even better. Oh thank goodness we're at the very top the home stretch. She just got one more row to sew so she's, putting some type of conditioner like creamer on her hair and then she's flat. Twisting it again so that way it can have more of a bouncier look, I'm guessing this looks so beautiful, okay, so one side's wet and one side's dry. I, like both sides, like let me know in the comments which side you like more The Damp curly look or more of the dry curly look so now she's using a diffuser to make the hair even bigger and even better interesting she's, also diffusing her leave out. While taking it down, so if I had to take an educated guess, I would say her leave out, wasn't quite dry yet, so this is how you definitely save it. Wow look at that. Her hair looks so nice. Oh, that's such a good trick to do to make your leave out blend more with your hair after you've sewn it in is to grab your leave out and twist it together with your hair extensions that way, the ringlets are the same size and they're Blended, see This was even better so as she's twisting it together, she's just gon na leave it, as is so that way, it stays Blended wow. This is so pretty. She looks like a Barbie doll. Next is the braiding sewing. I have about six bundles of body wave hair. Six, bundles good, bundles um. If you don't sew these bundles in you, actually braid them into the person's hair, so you're not using anything. So she don't even have to sew these bundles down. They'Re gon na be braided into her braid pattern. I got ta watch it eat thread, no glue, nothing like that. You come like this. This body weight see they got this hair coming out the top, and this hair is what you braid into the person's hair um to braid see. The good thing is: is that made sure whoever made this type of hair bundle? Is they made sure that the hair you actually braid in is a lot thinner than the bundle itself? That way, your braids won't be as bulky or they could be as small as possible. Oh, the hair does not shed because it's still a tight lift. It'S going to start in the back and then work my way up, just like, as if I was doing a traditional sewing. This looks so neat. I like this technique. So far you don't have to sew it down. You don't have to use crochet needles to like hide your braid pattern, like your braid pattern, is the sew-in, because the weft is attached to the braid pattern by braiding it in this is the genius see this was my concern right here. The fact that the braids are just getting a little bit bigger, I want to see how she kind of camouflage this and makes this work out see it's really smart that she started in the back. Naturally, people may want to start braiding in the front, but the fact that she started in the back and then zigzagged her way up, allows for the hair to fall, naturally without her having to fight against it. Because if you start braiding at the top of your head and work, your way back, you have to keep fighting against the hair as it falls down over your hands, while you're braiding foreign. How she's gon na finish off this style, because we're almost at the very top - and I still see the braid there, even though the hair looks really nice, it's like what's gon na happen. How is she gon na have leave out or hide the braid when a braid is kind of on top of the weft, like I'm super curious to see how this turns out we're almost at the top okay, now she's finishing off the braid by braiding it all The way down, so it's just one long braid: where is she gon na put it? I think she sewed it underneath possibly or maybe crocheted it, because the braid is definitely not there anymore and then she's doing a cute little ponytail at the top see you know. This is like an unsolved mystery going on right here, because I really need to know what happened to the braid. I really have to know. Oh look at the finished results to this braid in sew. In now. I still, in the back of my mind, I'm like what happened to that braid that I saw, but everything literally ties in so much together. Next is invisible part sew in I'm, going to show you exactly how I did the invisible part sew in hairstyle for beginners and with this oh, we got a Shameless plug here. I actually did a sewing video and one of them was the invisible part sewing. So if you haven't seen the full video, you can definitely check it out after this one. So we're going to go ahead and see what the techniques look like in this style. Look, I'm going to show you how you can achieve it with no leave out and no glue so to start off I've already braided, my braids. So hopefully you already know how to braid your own hair. Just yes, when you're doing sew-ins, you already want to know how to braid, because it's going to take you a bajillion years, okay to sew in your first sew-in. If you don't know how to braid your hair now, I know there's braidless methods, but the best way to wear your sewing is to make sure you're sewing down on hair. That'S braided and another thing is there's. No one size fits all braid pattern. Some people have thin hair thick hair, long, hair short hair. So that means you need to customize your braid pattern based on the way that keeps your braids looking small and neat, and also in a way that allows for you to have longevity with your style. Without your hairstyle, starting to unravel gon na, take your scissors and cut a straight line once you sew around your part, you're, going to sew around the rest of the edges of your hairline and then you're just going to clear out the knitting. That'S where your part needs to be, and this is exactly how you should look right before you begin when I know I'm going to be wearing a sewing for a while. I definitely recommend and do myself is to actually sew down a net. The reason why is because it allows your bundles to be sewn in longer. It also helps take tension off of your braids, especially if you're going to be wearing this hairstyle for a while, and it's super helpful for those of you who have thinning hair or areas of your hair, where they is a little thinner. It helps to protect your scalp from any further breakage, because the tension is being placed on the netting instead of on your braids begin sewing on your extensions. This is how the third bundle looks. That'S sewn in and now we just have our part left and what you need to do to prepare for your part is to use a razor to separate the wet, but you only need to cut the small. Yes, when you separate a weft, make sure you're using like a box cutter or any type of thin razor, because if you use scissors, it's going to mess up the weft and you're going to end up cutting the wrong thread. You want to make sure you also taking your time with this as well. You don't want to cut yourself, so just just be a little patient, but the best way to do any invisible part, whether you're, sewing or gluing, is to make sure you do really tiny. Wefts by splitting it in half with some type of cutting device small pieces for this style when doing your invisible part method as I'll show you in just a second. So we're going to start off with that first break there and make sure it's right up against your hairline and measured out before you start stitching it down. That is such a good tip as you're sewing down the front pieces of your invisible part. You want to make sure that the very front of it has a slight curvature to it, because it helps to actually hide the wefts from each piece as you're stacking them going up to each other. That way, the hair kind of comes a little closer to your part, because you're making sure to sew it at a curved angle that looks very seamless and, as this look progresses, you'll see exactly what I mean and you want to create two knots before you actually Begin stitching it at the top of your sewing. We are almost to the finish line, and this is one of the most important parts of doing this style is actually stitching down your closure, as well as your individual pieces. For your part, just yes, one thing: that's really helpful when stitching down your closure is to make it sure that your knots are very close together. Also, if you don't want to make your own closure piece, you can use a small piece of like a four by four closure and just cut a little circle, and then you can sew it down and what's even better about that is that you will actually see The illusion of scalp through it, but in this case I like to hand make my closures when I'm doing the invisible part sewing so to each their own continue stitching going all the way around going through your netting and then part of the edges of your weft. From your closure to pull through and create your knot, so I went ahead and just simply straightened my hair with a flat iron, and this is the look that I achieved with my invisible part sew it oh ain't that so cute the sew-in. Now I know that when it comes to invisible part sew-ins, a lot of us are split down the middle. Some people do not like invisible part sewings and some people absolutely love them. So let me know down below which team are you on? Are you on a team that loves invisible part sew-ins, or are you on a side that hates them next? Is closure sew-in your braids? Don'T have to be tight guys if your hair is thicker like way thicker than mine, and you know you cannot do big braids Guys, Don't Force It. My hair is not you see that every single video that I've watched so far, everybody says don't do big braids. Do them small so when you're actually doing your sewing, it's best to heave that advice, because some of you, I'm not gon na lie, complain sometimes in the comments about how you did a particular look, and it's all big and bulky, and it don't look good and Sometimes I write back and I say: did you braid your braids small and sometimes the answer is no so make sure your braids are small, especially near your leave out, so that your sewing looks flat and natural as thick. So I can kind of get away with it. Sometimes don't want it to be your braids to be that big, because it won't your hair won't lay flat, see I can tell she's been braiding her hair for a while. She knows how much she can get away with, because some of the braids are a little bigger, but she knows what she's doing. I got a feeling all right guys. So now it's time to go ahead and put on the 10 minute sewing. This is how it looks on the inside. It comes with these two side pieces, these like mesh pieces, and this is like, if you, if it was too big for your head - oh just off looks alone. The one thing I really like about this wig, I guess, is called a 10 minute sew-in - is that the wefts are actually sewn on like this invisible mesh. It'S like there is no mesh in between it's just the weft, so that way it allows for it to be like super breathable. Your scalp won't be hot and super sweaty because it has its own built-in ventilation with a certain type of wig cap. So I bet this wig feels just really nice and light on her scalp. You can go ahead and cut these parts off. I don't want to sew all the way back here. I kind of want to bring it up a little bit and I'm holding it really sturdy in place, because I don't want it to move all right and then we're actually going around. Don'T tighten it too much because you don't want to pull the closure back as you're doing yes, that's so true, if you over tighten or over pull on your actual string or thread as you're working your way around the closure and sewing it in it will shift Your entire closure to the back area, you know you're not going to see it laying flat in front it's going to shift it and then you're going to see your hair underneath it, which is what you don't want. So as you're sewing it. One thing that I do as a trick is: I lay my other hand on top of my closure very flat and firm, so it doesn't move and then I continue to stitch and create knots around it. So that way, I'm not shifting the closure out of place. So that was definitely a very good tip. She just shared oh yeah. You want to kind of keep it sitting up here, I'm going to take the end up right here and I'm going to attach it to right here. That'S very smart she's making sure to sew the way close to her actual weft. So that way you won't see a gap there. I'M just gon na sew along this lining and put it here that I'm gon na make a part right here and I'm gon na sew down yeah. This is very smart that she parted it that way to sew through the middle area. So that way, you wouldn't see the stitching once her hair is all done, because if she sewed it on the very edge without going through the hair, you would definitely see the thread all right guys. So this is the end result. Oh, my goodness, this looks extremely natural and beautiful, like she did the right amount of braids. So that way she knew exactly how flat it was gon na look. It literally looks like her real hair. The texture is great. Everything looks very seamless both of the 10 minute sewing. I didn't bleach the knots or anything. I literally just took the closure and put it on my head, because I just honestly to be honest, I got lazy and I am in love with this style. The curls are beautiful. It'S the right volume like everything, looks so good. It'S like bleaching the knots melting, the lace closure, I'm Gon na Get The Edge brush brush the edges back. Okay. This is completely different completely than what I'm used to seeing. Instead of her putting the wig cap on first, she already sold the bundles and then she's gon na put the wig cap on top of that and then she's gon na remove it. So we have to see what that looks like, because I'm not used to seeing that cure the cap onto her head and the adhesive in the front is going to be securing the cap as well. This just gives it more of a realistic look. A lot of times when you're getting a lace, closure sewing done or you're even melting down a lace closure. It'S very important that, before you do anything you make sure that the density looks very realistic to the style you're going to be wearing and to your natural hair a lot, because if the density is super thick, it's just not going to work. If the hairstyle you have is not in the look where the look of the hair is thick, you get what I'm saying. So this means that when you're actually wearing a frontal, if you're going to be wearing more of a thinner, look or you're going to be wearing more of a luminous look, the texture needs to match the hair. So that way, you have a very seamless like all together. Beautiful look also now she's removing the cap after stitching it down. This is the bow hole tape. I love this tape y'all. This is like the best tape to use, because my clients, don't say nothing, they'd, be like my my legs still on. This is interesting in this instance, she's, actually using two different types of adhesives, she's, using a lace glue and a lace tape. I wonder how much this adds to how long the hairstyle stays in his two weeks from the appointment like they literally be. You know walking around like with their life still on, I like to put in the lace glue around the tape I like using both so now. Not only does she have the two glue methods, she's gon na, add more like school and put it around the tape that way it gives even more security. I'M very interested to see how this looks I'll tell you when I use both my clients note down, be like legit melted. I like to stretch my leg, make sure you stretch the lace and also make sure that the lace is lined up to the proper diameter that you left out. Okay brush it back see, it was very important that she plucked that lace, because it actually looks a lot more natural now or do not mush it down just be light with it. Okay, take your time with it. When I do cut, I cut in a zigzag. I never cut straight because no we're not doing the straight cut so right now, I'm just wrapping her hair down. I like to use these wrap mold that hair down and also wrap that hair up when you are doing the rest of the clients, hair and also so that milks can really get melted and you know stay put. What I'm wondering is, if any of you notice a difference when you're, using like some type of scarf or stretchy material, to lay down your edges or when you're, using like the strips that you lay down like which one actually works better for you. Oh, this style looks beautiful. She has like a wet and wavy look going on in her actual hairline area, even though she added multiple layers of glue. It'S undetectable. I am literally impressed next is the full sew-in how I do a full head, sew-in with and without a lace closure. Then I do the rest going back, starting with a center braid. Yes, let's go. The full sew-in is the boss of them. All. Everybody loves a partial, sew-ins, okay, but it all started with the full sew-in. That'S what we got all of our techniques from that's when the foundation was like the center braid is crucial for the closing part, especially if you decide not to use a lace closure. So I get halfway through the cornrows I join in the end of the last cornrow. This ensures a seamless finish. The next step is to add a weaving net. This will help you fill in the areas of the scalp, where there is no hair and also helps the weave to last longer again see I'm telling y'all that weaving net is clutch is going to take the tension off of her scalp. It'S also going to allow her to sew in to last longer, and even though she has a full head of hair. If she had any areas that were thinner, it would add even more protection as she wears her sewing to alternate between going across the head and then going all the way around at this point, if you want to use a lace closure for the center, you can And then just go across the backhand sides until you finish, if you, if you go away then at this stage you literally just keep sewing in the wet all the way around filling in every Gap by placing the tracks as close together as possible. Oh she's closing it off without a closure piece she's using the weft. That'S originally there to actually close it off that looked really interesting. Oh wow! She actually switched out the closure piece for a lace closure piece. Oh, look at that peekaboo color in the front that purple underneath the black it looks extremely cute. Okay, now she's curling, the bangs and trimming them up all right, don't cut the lashes all right, we're in a clear um. She even thinned it out a little bit kind of gave it like a slight ruggedness to the top actually to the bottom area. It looked interesting. The flip over sew in we're doing a sew in flip over method, and, oh, my God, it turned out so Flawless. So, let's get right into this, the flip over sewing method is probably one of my favorite methods I feel like. I don't do it enough because I try to do other types of hairstyles, but that's probably one of my favorite ways to do a sew-in is to flip over method. So these two braids in the front here on the side. This is going to be my leave out and then we have our anchor braids and then everything else is kind of just braided straight to the back. Yes, the braid pattern is on point. She has the braid going across the hairline, but she also has hair left out at the hairline to do the flip over method. So, let's see how this turns out - and I did attach each braid to each other - you do want to use a net. I love using Nets because you can sew on areas where there are not braids the first track. You'Re gon na put it right around the edge of your perimeter, which is basically going to be your anchor braid, so we're just gon na sew that first one on okay, that first track is down now we're gon na go ahead and add in that second bundle Boom, it's in so, for this part I'll call it a window is where you'll actually do the flip over um method, where you can flip the hair either way. However, you're really only cutting a video now she's at the point now where she's gon na close off, like she said that window, where she's gon na do the flip over method. Now you can do this one or two ways: you can either cut small pieces of hair and stack them next to each other, as you sew them across the top, or you can continue to do a little flip over method as you're sewing back and forth. So you don't have to cut the wefts at all, very, very small piece of the track. So to me it's it's really not a huge deal. There you go, so all you have to do is keep sewing the tracks in the same direction. So in this instance, what she did is after sewing it down. She cut off the very end, and then she just continued repeating the process. You don't have to pre-measure the pieces which she didn't, but you can, if you want to section until you have no space left and another reason why I love to use these hair nets is because once you're done sewing in all of your tracks, all you have To do is cut off that elastic piece. If your hair does not blend well with curly hair, you may want to use flexi rods to blend it, but anyway, wow. Look at that with the flip over method. You don't have a part. You don't need a part. You can literally toss your hair to either side and it literally looks like you have a full sew-in without necessarily having much leave out anyway. Thank you guys so much for watching, don't forget to like comment and subscribe. She didn't even have to style it. You can look at this and tell that it was an excellent job. Well done soon, the crochet so yeah, so she's going to be doing a crochet sewing with bundles. It looks like she already sold down all of her hair. What she took individual pieces and then crocheted around the area where the leave out would be, but there is no leave out because she braided all her hair down and she's going to crochet method. I'M already digging this technique, look at that that is so creative she's. Just randomly taking little ringlets and then just crocheting it underneath where she already sewed down that looks really good. We go y'all, slow motion, slow motion, slow motion. Yes, don't we love a good slo-mo scene that way we don't miss nothing wow. It turned out really nice. Next is the micro link sew-in, hey y'all, so today's video is a braidless sewing tutorial. I'M gon na be showing you how you can do this on yourself at home. You want to have a little bit of texture to your hair. So that way, the beads um can have like something to grip onto so this is nylon thread like, as you can see, it's that, like silky type of thread, I'm not going to use cotton thread when you're going to bring this on Cotton thread is going to Like soak out all your oils and like really dry, your hair, see with a braidless sewing. In my opinion, you want to make sure that the texture of your hair mimics as close to the texture of the hair extensions, because, as you're wearing your style, you're going to be putting individual beads on your hair. You don't want it getting super Tangled, because your texture or braid pattern or curl pattern is totally different than your hair extensions. I think that's something you should super super keep in mind around their pliers, and this is what they should look like, not real pliers. Okay, the hair pliers, so you can squeeze the little bitty B. Okay from what I remember, whenever I did a braidless sewing, I only used two bundles. Here'S how you want to have your hair kind of like you, was about to do a braid pattern for, like you know, a regular sewing see one of the biggest differences between a braidless sew-in and a sewing when you do braid, is that the braids provide more Area for you to add more bundles onto but an instance where you're doing an actual braidless sewing you're only adding in the tracks individually, as you see fit, based on the thickness you want, so you usually don't have to add as much hair like it's actually typical That some people do anywhere from a bundle to two bundles when doing a braidless sew-in versus three to four bundles when doing a regular sew-in. Just like that. So, first you want to start by making a part just like you was doing clippings or gluing, or something like that, and then you just want to make a part just about that size thread your hair through the hair, threader scoop the bead up just like that, And then just push it on through to where that bead is up on near your scalp. Now it's time for the hair pliers you just want to go and Scoot that bead up and squeeze it making sure to double that. Weft see the way that I've seen this technique done was two different ways. One way was putting the beaters on the hair and then sealing them and then sewing on top and another way I saw someone actually grab pieces of the weft hair and the real hair and then close the beads together that way, they didn't actually have to sew. It down so everything can be nice and full. This is how you want to start doubling your webs. You want to put that second weft down, maybe like a half inch to an inch. So that way, it's not bulky on the side. That way, you can pull it up. I don't think y'all caught that she just blessed us with a really good technique when you're actually sewing your bundles by doubling them. You want to leave about an inch to two inches of weft on the side. That way, the side will be as flat as possible, especially if you're going to wear it up into a ponytail. That was a really good tip to a ponytail. When you're finishing the other side, you want to make sure you cut that inside track shorter than the outside track like have it ending on, like the second to last, beat that way it can look. You know the same as what you started with with that outside track being longer than the inside. That makes perfect sense that way on the edges of your hairline. It'S single tracked, even though, when you go in deeper into where sewn it's double tracked, so she makes sure to just cut a little bit extension off as she neared both sides. So that way, the sides of her head would be flat and then she puts it into a ponytail. It doesn't look bulky all right, so you can have a flat install and I'm not really going to worry about wearing it like half up half down so like when you party, you can see like the beads and stuff, but if you do want to wear Styles, Like half up half down or something like that, then you want to make sure to leave out. You know that little bit of hair in between a rows, so you can cover the tracks both ways there. We have it honey, we done and we done it was not too hard. Was it so now, I'm just it looks just like a sew-in, but in this instance she has leave out in between each track area. So that makes for a different hairstyle, just uh. Taking down my leave out and my perimeter getting ready to style it brush it all in together style it all in together and look at that look how natural that braid! Yes, it looks natural we're going to admire that. But another thing we're going to admire is how healthy your hair looks. Looks like you, take great care of your hair, and it definitely shows let's, be though, like I just love it. Oh that's her not so pretty and she cramped it y'all. She put some Crips in it, the vixen sew in for my Vixen sew-in. I installed four bundles of hair. Oh look at that a Shameless plug from your girl. I did a vixen sewing tutorial a little while ago, and it was my first time doing it and I really like the style. It has some pros and cons because you do have to do more leave out than you will other styles, but the definitely Pro is is that the style is very versatile. You can wear it in multiple different ponytails. You can wear up and down because you have multiple parts have one bundle. In each section of my hair, I have two bundles of 20 inches in front and two bundles of 22 inches in back with the classic. Vixen sewing look you're parting, your hair in four directions. So first I'm parting right down the middle. Where I want. Yes, if you want to have a middle part with your vixen sew in you want to park directly down the middle, and then you want to also have your other two sections separate. So you want to also part from ear to ear. But if you want the part at the top to be diagonal, you would have to basically part your hair like an X, but in this instance, because I'm having a middle part, I parted the direction of my braid pattern. Like a plus here, I went ahead and braided that off camera, so you can see exactly what I need now for the rest of the hair, I'm braiding in One Direction and I will not be adding braiding hair. So that way, I don't add any unnecessary bulk. Now, there's a lot of different ways to braid your hair, but being that you're doing this yourself, which most people don't actually do this allows for you to have a very easy braiding base before you begin sewing your extensions. The only thing you need to worry about is that perimeter braid, as you see here and making sure the braids in the middle are extremely flat. So when you press your hand against it, it should feel very flat to the surface. This is how you want yeah. It'S very important so make sure that your braids are very flat when you're doing the Vixen sewing. So that way, when you actually sew in the extensions, you also got ta sew, those very close together, you want to minimize the bulk as much as possible. That means small braids. That means not a lot of stitches. So that way you can actually fit all your bundles in have a full look without it. Looking too bulky on your scalp, so your braid pattern has to be flat. You have to do small braids to stitch down your net, always going through the net and under your braid, and when you come back out, you always want to Loop your thread around your needle twice to pull through to create your knot. You want your tracks to go back and forth with a slight curvature being on the edge of your section. So that way, when you're smoothing your hair back, it makes it look very flat, especially when you're wearing different types of hairstyles, when you're actually sewing in your bundles. When you're doing this look, you want to make sure that you do not cut into the bundles until you're, literally at the very end of the section you make that one last cut, because if you cut smaller pieces you will have a lot of issues with shedding. Even with the best bundles in the world, the more you cut into the left, the more likely you're going to experience some shedding. You don't want shedding, with this type of hairstyle being that you're going to be wearing it in a variety of different looks. This method is called the flip over method or it's called the fold over method. The foldover method allows you to continue to stitch your entire bundle going back and forth without cutting through the left. You want to make sure to secure about two to three knots so that it doesn't unravel and, as you can see here, I barely had any hair left over from that one bundle. I tried my the goal with doing a vixen sew in is to literally fit one bundle on each section and the longer the hair is usually the shorter. The bundle will be, and that's why it's important too, when you're doing a vixen sewing to go for longer. Lengths because the shorter the hair is the longer the bundle is, and it's going to be extremely hard to fit all of that hair into one section. So you want to go for longer lengths of hair. When doing this look my best to fit all of the hair in as possible. Now, when you're doing the Vixen sewing, I highly suggest that you use Links of anywhere from 20 inches and above because it allows you to pretty much sew an entire bundle. In one section, this Vixen sewing is Flawless. If you use my techniques, this is the type of results you should get with your y'all see this. You can wear like four different ponytails, two different ponytails. You could wear it up. You can wear it down. A middle part, half up half down, that is the versatility of doing a vixen sew-in. So I'm wondering if any of you have ever tried this look before and let me know the pros and cons when wearing this style was for you fix and sew in. So, as you know, with the vixen sew in it's a very versatile look and you can part it in any direction, you want pretty much so there's four ways that you can part your hair.
