1
Braid or wrap your natural hair and place the shower cap on top of your head. Make sure your hair is fully tucked under the shower cap---you don't want tape or glue in your hair. Tear off several small pieces of transparent adhesive tape and apply it to the perimeter of the shower cap and your head (essentially taping the cap to your head). The shower cap is use to protect your hair from the weave glue.

Place the wig stocking cap on top of the shower cap. The wig stocking cap may fit a little snugly, but that is due to the shower cap. The wig stocking cap is used to adhere the hair weave.

Open a package of hair weave and gently comb the tangles out. Apply the weave glue onto the track of the hair weave. Start at the nape of the wig stocking cap (or the nape of your neck), slowly glue down the hair weave tracks in a circular motion around the perimeter of your head. When the track runs out, open another package of hair weave and continue the process until you have about a dime-size hole on the top of the stocking cap.

Cut a 3 inch piece of hair weave and roll the hair weave track between your fingers tightly. The hair weave track should have the appearance of a tightly bundled circle. Apply the weave glue on the bottom of the bundled circle (the weave track only).

5
Immediately insert the bottom of the bundled circle into the dime-size opening. Hold the bundled circle in place until the glue has completely dried. Once dry, release the bundled circle and the hair will fall in a circular motion. Cut, comb and style the hair as usual.
