Linkies Track Weave Hair Extension Tutorial

There are many benefits to using linkies for all of your weaving applications. First you're going to be able to provide a quick installation with maximum coverage, you're also going to be able to provide a stable base row. What that means is that there's not going to be any slippage so if you've ever had a braided installation that slipped out over time, you'll know what I'm talking about. Lastly, you're going to be able to control the tension at every single link in the process to begin you're going to need, link ease and the color that matches your route layer or slightly darker you'll need a micro needle you'll need closers, a weaving needle and thread, And, of course, your extension hair to begin you're going to thread your rings onto your needle carve off a section of hair with your needle. That is about an inch wide and about a third of an inch deep make sure that you don't have any cross hairs. Next carve that section into two from this point forward, I'm going to call these legs you're, going to pick up your first leg and slide a ring onto the natural hair. Next you're going to go down through that linkie and pick up the second leg of hair. I'M going to pull that so that it creates an X by holding the two legs out, then adjusting the tension make sure that I have a little bit of movement so that it's not super tight to the scalp and we're going to flatten that into place. You want to have a little bit of play in there to make sure that this isn't going to be too tight. Remember you're also going to be sewing on top of this. So that's really important. Okay, you're, going to take over the neighboring section again inch wide bottom third of an inch deep make sure that there's no cross hairs split that section into two pick up your first leg, pull it into the ring, go back down through the ring. Pick up. Your second leg hold the legs away from the center, adjust the tension with your closer and close continue. This until you've created your entire base row. The next step is to create your linking row pick up the two legs slide. The link on to the first leg go back down through the link and pick up that second leg again: you're creating an X just like you did in the first row, use your closing tool to adjust the tension and crimp that into place again. You should have a bit of movement continue to link neighboring sections until you have completed your linking row. The next step is to apply your extension hair you're, going to cut your weft so that it fits just beyond your base. Row, you're also going to add a coverage layer that coverage layer needs to be slightly shorter than your main extension piece to begin. Lock these rows, together with your weaving thread. You want your top extension layer to extend beyond your coverage layer so that these ends create a nice smooth transition. Go underneath your base row and also underneath your thread since we'll be going out to the end. We'Ll want to pull your first leg underneath so that it doesn't stick out start at the interior work. Your way out towards the ends then work your way back towards the interior of your weft. When you get to the second end, do the same thing: pull the leg underneath and so out to the edge. So until your edge is secured, then do a couple stitches back towards the interior. This will allow your knots to remain on the inside and not at your transition. Points to tie off first create one simple knot, then, with your needle go underneath the weft and pull one of the legs of thread around using these two legs of thread. Do several knots to secure your weft clip away any remaining thread? This can be used for accent panels or for a full installation continue until you have finished your desired style. You
