Sew in Hair Extensions are difficult to wear, we recommend that you find a professional hairdresser to help you install them.
Method 1.
1. Grab three small, fairly equal size amounts of hair from the thin section of hair you’ve reserved for the cornrow.
Hold one in your right hand, one in your left and hold the center strand of hair in whatever hand feels comfortable.
2. Begin by crossing the hair in your right hand underneath the hair in your center section.
Then cross the hair in your left hand underneath the hair that’s now in the center.
- Repeat this criss-cross pattern along the part line of the hair. As you move, pick up additional hair from the head and add it to the center section so that you’re creating one, continuous cornrow braid.
- You can either add hair to the center section or to the left- and right-hand sections as you braid. Just be consistent.
- Make your cornrow as tight as you can without causing pain.
3. Secure the weft together.
A single hair extension is also known as a weft. If you want to create extra fullness, simply fold your weft in half. Take your needle and insert it through the unfolded edge of the weft so that it’s held together along the unfolded size.
4. Attach the extension.
Take the needle (the point is facing you) and insert it into the front of the extension right below the seam, which is called the track. If you’re working with a folded weft, be sure your needle goes under both tracks. Hold the hair extension up and try to cover the cornrow with it. Insert the needle back under the cornrow and pull the thread gently, leaving a loop.
5. Make a knot, then continue sewing.
Once you bring your needle and thread up from behind your cornrow, insert the needle through the loop you left at the end of your last stitch and pull the thread through. Pull firmly to attach the extension in place securely. Insert the needle back underneath the track of your extension about a 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) away from your last stitch. Slide the needle under the cornrow, leave a loop and bring the needle and thread through the loop to secure your extension. Continue sewing your extension along the part line keeping your stitches neat and a uniform 1/2-inch distance apart.
6. End the row, and cut it if necessary.
When you’re one stitch away from the end of your extension, insert the needle through the front of the extension and tack the two folded ends to one another. Do not go under the cornrow again. Make two or three stitches to fold the folded end onto itself. Then insert your needle through one of the stitches, pull through to create a loop and insert your needle through the loop to make a knot. Knot the end two or three times for extra security. Trim the edges of the leftover thread on both ends of the extension.
Depending on how you wear your hair, you may need to get a hair cut to create a new style or to help your extensions blend even more seamlessly into your own hair.
Method 2.
Grab a section of hair that’s equivalent to amount of hair itself. Grab the loop tool and pass a section of hair go underneath, pinch the hair and pull it through the loop tool and grab the micro bead and weave it onto the hair strand. Clip micro bead once in the middle.
The remaining sewing steps refer to the first method
Method 3.
Sew the clips on the edge of sew in hair extensions, make the sew in hair extensions into clip ins.
Method 4.
Apply glue on the upper edge of the weft.Press the weft against the glue in your own hair. Hold until the glue is dried and the weft sits securely.
