How To Create Lasting Hair Extensions (Hint: It Involves A Needle And Thread)
After your hair is braided down, the sewing fun can began! It's just like sewing in real life, so if you're good at that, then this should be easy for you. (If not, well, practice makes perfect!) Loop the thread through the needle and then cut the purchased hair to match the length of the section that you're going to sew in. Using the cross stitch method, begin sewing along the braid. Be sure to pull it tightly (but not too tight!) so the hair doesn't hang loose from the braid.
Keep going until all of your head is done and then (just like that!) you've got a sewn-in weave! Here's the end result of mine. It should last me for a couple of months. I can wash it and style it any way that I want! Now, I know, some may be looking at this and thinking "There's NO WAY I can do this on my own!" And you know what? That's okay. Like I mentioned earlier, you can have someone to do it for you and just study how they do it to get a better idea of how it works. (That's how I figured out much of the process).
Now tell me, what do you think of this? Who out there has ever sewn in their own weave and what was your experience like? And (most importantly!) what do you think of my hair? Would you ever do this to your own? Any short-haired beauties out there who love the idea of having mega-long hair for a little while?
