How to Make a Hair Weaving Closure

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Straight back or spiral round weave pattern Hair weaving needle Hair weaving thread Mirror

1. Select your pattern. It is suggested to use a straight back or spiral round for braiding. Lay out all of your tools so that they are within easy reach.

2. Stand or sit in front of a large mirror. Begin sewing the back track of the weave. Continue sewing the back of the track until you have two to three rows. By the time you get to the fourth, you should have begun bringing it around. Continue sewing around the head until you reach the top.

3. Continue sewing in a circle until the circle is very small. The circle should be about the size of your pinkie tip. At this point, stop and cut the extension.

4. Take 2 inches of hair on the track from the package and roll it. Sew it a couple times so the roll holds. Place the rolled up extension in the center of the hole. Use one finger to hold it in place so that it doesn't move.

5. Use another finger to hold the closure flat. Next you will use your other hand to sew the roll into the weave. The closure should now be shut.

Tips & Warnings

• Continue to feel with your fingers as you work to ensure weave is spaced properly. Watch someone else do a weave a couple times before trying yourself.
• If you aren't sure what you are doing, see a professional stylist.
