Putting in the invisible braids takes hours to complete. It takes longer if you do the braids yourself. It is best to find someone who is experienced in this type of braiding style to do them for you. However, it is possible to do them yourself.
Shampoo and dry the hair before getting invisible braids. The hair is separated into four sections, two in the front and two in the back. It is then held out of the way with hair clips. Working on one section at a time, part the hair into tiny sections. Wrap a small amount of the weave hair around a small section of the natural hair to start the braid. Braid the hair using the three-strand braiding technique, wrapping one section around another in a weaving fashion. -
Straight invisible braids are done with Silky Straight, Yaki or Remi loose, bulk hair. After the braids are completed, the hair is then styled.
Straight and sleek style is obtained by lightly running a flatiron through the hair. Be careful using hot styling tools with certain types of weave hair. It is recommended to use only human weave hair when doing invisible braids; synthetic hair costs less but isn't as durable. Synthetic hair melts when it comes in contact with hot styling tools.
For a variety in styling straight invisible braids, change up the style with updos. Try high ponytails, low buns, French braids and half up/half down styles. Invisible braids offer flexibility so you can change up the straight styles daily. - Curly weave comes in various stages of curls: tightly-coiled, kinky, spiral curls, deep waves and wet-n-wavy hair. Curly invisible braids offer as much flexibility as straight hair but don't take much to style. To keep the curls looking fresh, apply a small amount of curling mousse to the hair. Rub your fingers through the hair to distribute the mousse evenly. Use your palms to scrunch up the ends of the curls to give them more definition. Change up your style with flowing curls or sculpted updos.
