Weaving with a weaving cap(mesh open toped)
A complete full head of weave done with a weaving cap can allow a you to do a complete weave on your own fast and easy. The 1st and easiest style will be all back ( with many different ways to wear your hair) leaving a small amount out around the circumferences of your head.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Natural clean & air dried
Tail comb
10-13 curved weaving needles
Weaving thread 2 spools
Weaving hair of choice (2 bag or 8oz of bulk)
Weaving net(opened or closed top optional)
Scissors, flat iron and other styling items of choice

Step 1

Ladies, lets start with our clean air dried natural hair, what well do is braid it up in circular braiding around the entire circumference of our head right to the very top and secure your braids with a quick stitch to hold braid in place, lets not forget to leave a small amount of hair out around the circumference, braid or rubber band the hair out of your braiding area, if braiding is a problem you can twist or even wrap your hair which ever you like and is easiest for you. Now that we have completed our braiding process lets grease the scalp with our sulfur 8 medicated hair grease, greasing each parting with good amounts of grease.
Step 2

Put your mesh weaving cap on your head, just as if you were putting on a cap being sure to leave the small amount of hair that was left out for coverage, after putting on the weaving cap on and adjusting to comfort, thread all needles you have accessible to you and hang them in your working area free from getting tangled, now take one of your needles and lets secure your cap.. starting at the front begin to stitch your cap around the edge of cap and beginning of your hair stitching the cap the entire circle of your head, once your cap is securely stitched in place tie your knot to secure your stitching. Once you have completed this step lets got to the top of our cap and pull on the cap in a upward motion snuggling your cap to a comfy fit and snip off excess, and stitch the cap top closed with a few stitches, once again knot thread and cut off excess thread .
Step 3

Last but certainly not least well will begin to stitch hair to our cap, beginning at the back of the head measure your weave o perfect length with a slight curve for better placement cut your measured weft, secure on side of your cut weft with a duck clip and begin sewing your weft on the opposite side remembering not to push needle through stitching of weft but from bottom to top of weft until you have reached the other side remove duck clip and continue sewing to the end knot and cut off excess , do this process in a circle for the entire head .. going in a complete circle around the head repeating steps to knot. cut and cut off excess .. When the entire head is complete cut and style to your liking and now or ready to take the town by storm.. WOW you look great!
