How To Create A Thick Braid With Extensions

Take your extension now i'm using a three clip weft, you could use um two twos. You could use a two and a one um, so we're gon na clip this a little bit different. So we're not gon na clip it across ways like that. Okay with fine hair, it's so difficult to cover these clips, just don't even bother instead you're going to take a comb or your fingers and you're going to part your hair through the middle all the way to the nape of the neck. Next, i'm going to put a tiny bit of backcomb where the clips are going to sit, so my first clip's going to sit not too high up guys because we need to cover it. Okay, so i've taken out these little bits of hair, then i'm going to come back a little bit and about here is where i'm going to put my first bit of backcomb on the left-hand side of my head. Okay, so just a little bit so hair extensions. What we're going to do is the hair is going to be pointing it's going to sit on the left hand, side, the wefts are right, but we want the hair to flow that way, not that this way. So let me show you what i mean, so i'm not going to put it in that way, which is the normal way, because, obviously that's your hair, okay, we're going to put it in, on the left hand, side, but flowing this way, and then i'm just going To pop the first weft just there, the first clip sorry like so so i'm feeling where the next little clip is guys on the part line it's about there. So that's where i'm going to put in my little bit of back comb and just pop that weft in there clip it down. So it's nearly sitting directly at the center of my head, but the hair's flowing this way. Okay and then your last one right at the nape of the neck, guys clip it down, and that is what you're left with okay. So essentially, all you've done is added a thick layer of hair going through the center of your head, like that. Now one of the issues with me, braiding hair, is when you're dragging your hair up to meet a braid when you've got very fine hair. You are basically exposing a very thin area for most people, not all people, but definitely for me. So what we're going to do we're going to grab a piece i'm going to keep it quite narrow, i'm going to go far enough back, so i'm also grabbing a little bit of extension hair as well. So all that is extension, hair, okay, so grab that hair and we're gon na break it into three guys. Okay, so i'm holding with one hand two fingers go through breaking it into three now this side here hasn't got any extension hair. So i'm just going to make sure a bottle of it, so all three pieces have got a little bit of extension hair going in there now. The aim of the game is, you've, got a middle section outside sections and the outside sections keep going underneath the middle, and then you incorporate hair. So the first few stitches you don't add anything in so i'm going to start okay. So i'm going to go under the middle and again this one now under the middle one more time under the middle. So this one here i've just taken under the middle is now going to have some hair added to it. But again don't grab a massive section. Like that, keep it kind of narrow to start with we're going to slice up and let's just see if we can add in a little bit of extension, hair again and that's now added into that section. Okay. So now we go back to the beginning, which is this one is going to go under the middle and we're ready to add some more hair again guys, try not to go a big section! Think of it like a triangle: okay, until you get by the ear, you want to be taking the tiniest bit from the top going slightly wider. So it's almost like a triangular section, not a rectangle, so tiny bit from the top sweeping back trying to grab some extension hair, adding it into this section here, smooth it out back to the beginning guys i am going to tip my head the other way in A minute you'll be able to see better. So that's my middle section. This one on the left hand, side is going to go whoop underneath still taking small bits, sweeping backwards, trying to grab some extension hair as well. When you're happy this right hand, one goes underneath and i'm gon na try now to swap over, so you can see from the back. So just add it in from this side, guys picked up this top section, so we've got one two three. This is my middle one. This one goes underneath hold with my little thumb and forefinger, taking a section of hair trying to grab some of that extension hair as well put it into that sort of pincer and then just using my fingers to smooth that out grabbing this section on the top. That'S now my middle, so the right one comes underneath taking a section of hair grabbing some extension hair, smoothing it out grabbing this piece on top and this left hand one now goes underneath. So this right hand is ready to accept this left hand section. So, look what i do it goes under and then this little pincer grabs hold of that hair. That one just sits on top out me where i don't need to worry about that one. This one's now ready to accept hair on this left hand, side go back to that top section. The one that's kind of just flowing over the top grab hold of it. So it's like my full hand. My full fist is going around that little finger closes to the head. These fingers go underneath this one ready to grab that one and now this one's ready to accept more hair back to the top. Two fingers swings underneath this one grabbing, the other one get more hair, so i'm taking that last section adding it in and then i'm just going to breathe down a little bit now, i'm just going to do some pulling out like i did before, but this time Round i've got a little bit more length and more thickness, so i'm just holding on and teasing out holding on teasing out take your time. You can always do a bit and then a little bit more and then we'll work on the braid. That'S actually on the hair, and now i'm going to go in guys and i'm just going to hold that braid with one hand and gently tease out with the other. So once you're happy with how big you've got your braid, you could probably go bigger than this. I'M going to just come back to the front, so all my little broken bits have kind of fallen down there, which is another reason why i like to leave these side bits, because if they were up, what do i do with them? Do i spray him back? Do i pin him, whereas is now i can just allow these bits to come down and it all looks like it should be there. So i'm just going to put a little bit of back comb on this side, because this side likes to go boom and that side, let's go so just to kind of even stevens them out, and then i'm just going to put a little bend to the hand. Just using my straighteners just so it's not quite straight straight i'll, just show you a little quick view again from the back, so nice chunky, braid, no clips showing from the side. You can pull it bigger. If you want to a little bit of extra length as well so a little bit of a bonus style here guys, you can sort of like turn this into more of an updo. If you wanted to just kind of grab hold of these side bits, give them a little bit of a tease out just to soften that front. Look and then just take hold of this braid guys give it a little twizzle take hold of a hairpin and just pin that into place. Give it another little pull out. Little tease out, i kind of want it to look kind of messy. Can you see i'm holding it, though i don't just kind of pull at it and then just keep checking in that mirror guys. So one mirror here: one mirror behind you if the balance is right, but that is just a little kind of like updo version of it made it a bit fancier. What do you think so?
