How To Do Feed-In Braids On Short Sisterlocs Or Microlocs With Lovatress Microlocs Extensions

Hey love, I am back with another styling video today I am doing a underhand French braid with it extensions and it's the Sister Bay extensions. Okay, so I came across this hair. I thought. Oh, let me try it. I got two different colors and I had to try to figure out the side which one I wanted to do so I got the copper and the medium brown uh Brown. So this is like small, like sisterlocks micro locks, um, I'm gon na. Do the copper for my hair, since I have copper on my tips, um and then there's also the dark brown for my roots, but I decided to um use just a copper brown for my uh to better. You know go with the ends of my hair and y'all when I put this against my hair. Look how it's like so small, so I just wanted to show you guys a comparison with how small it is when I compare it to my lock. So this is for people who, like legit, got really skinny locks. Okay, this is perfect for it, and so I'm just prepping my hair, I'm just going to do two underhand French braid to do this and I'm going to feed in the extension for um towards the end. So this is how I start my underhand French braid you're. Just literally, it's three strands that you're overlapping: to create this ongoing, consistent braided pattern and, as you switch hands, you're picking up from each side um and that's it so here's the slow version of it and then I'll speed it up so you're, literally picking up hair On each side as you go once you pick that hair up attach it to the um group of strands next to it and then you twist and then you pick up, attach and then twist and you're rotating the three strands as you go. So hopefully, that's clear enough and that it looks as simple as it seems to be so now keep in mind when you're doing any Styles um with your locks. Please please please, please be mindful of tension. You do not want anything too tight. You do not want anything pulling because too much tension is going to cause your um, the hair, around the lock to break, and it will cause your locks to thin out so be mindful of not doing tight styles, so I am braiding a good bit before. I start to add the extensions, but depending on how thick your hair is or how thick you want the braid to be, you can start adding extensions as early as the top if you want so it's all up to you. I didn't want mine to be that thick because I have short hair and you can see the middle is already thick. So when you go to add that extension, the two fingers that's holding the hair is what's going to grab that extension and then I move that strand out of my way and then I take the bottom strand and I literally try to connect it to my pinky. Over here, because you want that extension to be underneath, so that's the way I do it, but I'm sure there are other ways that she can do it as well. But this that seemed to be the easiest way for me and then, as I wrote now, the extension is underneath and I'm going to just add some hair of my own hair to it and then I'm going to rotate the hairs and then add another piece of Extension, so the two fingers that's holding the um hair right there, the two fingers I added the hair, I'm holding it with my two fingers over there. Sorry, I'm kind of off camera a bit and I didn't realize it on one side: two fingers holding the hair - and you can see my pinky on the other side - is waiting to grab the rest of the the other end of the hair. So since I'm towards the end on this one, I'm not going to take the other strand and take it to the other side. I am just going to put in my two fingers and then take the bottom here and bring it up. So that's um! That'S how I'm going to feed it so when you're done, if you continue to add to make it longer and longer and longer, you won't see a line underneath the braid, if that makes sense so yeah I added and then just twist it so hopefully that helps If there are any flyaways along your braid, you can just tuck it in. If you want to keep adding to the ends of the hair, you can continue to do so to get it as long as you want. So this is pretty simple. I hope you like it. I am going to do the other side and I'll slow it down as well, but just tuck in the ends and, as you go just make sure, if anything feels too tight, please be mindful of tension, pull any strands as I'm doing right now to loosen any Areas because we don't we do not want any bumps, we do not want any pulling and we do not want. You know our hair, our locks, thinning or doing anything of that sort over time. So protect your edges. The perimeter of your hair, protect it at all cause. Okay, so just loosen it up make sure it's good to go all right, we're moving on to the next side, foreign, as I mentioned before, you can start adding extensions as soon as you want it's up to you, depending on how thick you want the braid to Be or how small you want it to be, it's up to you and you can make it as long as you want. I did not want mine to be so thick. I wanted to blend in and have a smooth transition, so I added towards the um end. So that's that's just me, but you can do whatever is going to give you that look that you want okay, foreign, foreign, foreign, so that's pretty much it I put a rubber band at the end to secure it, you can dress it up. You can put jewelry on your life on it if you want to whatever you want, you can put into a bun. I forgot a lock behind there, oh well, but you can do so much with this look. I am going to put a link of the Sister Bay extension. I did. Um Amazon has it. It is a little bit expensive but hey if y'all want it. I'M gon na put a link for you, so you can have fun foreign.
