Things You'll Need:
- Duckbill hair clips
- Hair extensions
- Comb
-
Step 1
Work in sections no larger than one-half inch.
-
Step 2
Use duckbill hair clips to create even parts and to hold hair out of the way that you're not currently braiding.
-
Step 3
Fold a small section of hair extension in half and divide it into three even sections.
-
Step 4
Apply this extension to your parted hair section, which is divided into three equal sections as well.
-
Step 5
Braid your hair and the extension hair together for one-half inch.
-
Step 6
Begin to work in an underbraiding motion.
-
Step 7
Take a few strands of the hair extension and place it in the clip to hold them out of the way as you continue braiding.
-
Step 8
At the desired braid length, keep the middle section of hair out. Use two fingers to pull the right and left hand sections of the braid into a knot, leaving the middle section to fall through.
-
Step 9
Reinforce this knot by tying the hair into a second knot. Make it as tight as possible so that it holds.
-
Step 10
Bring the strands that were previously placed into the clip down to blend in with the braided extension.
-
Step 11
Repeat these steps over the entire head to create tree braids.
