"Hi my name is Reyonna Orr and I've been a stylist for more than ten years. My shop is located in Eastpointe, Michigan and I am going to show you how to brain hair extensions with short hair. The first thing you need to do is hair the hair extension. You pull off the amount of hair that is the size of the braid that you would like to make. Sometimes it gets a little tangled at the bottom so it is best to lay it somewhere flat. You separate the hair into two pieces, you overlap the hair, pulling the small piece tight and keeping the other piece open. This gives you three individual pieces. These are the same three pieces you will use to create the French Braid. You press it up against the client's scalp and you also pull three pieces from their own hair. You gradually add the extension in using those same three pieces overlapping in the same pattern over and over until you get to the end. I'm Reyonna Orr and this is how you braid extensions with short hair."
