EXTENSIONS (c/o Dirty Looks) | DRESS | LIPS

First off Happy September !! I can smell all things pumpkin and spice already !!

When I posted on instagram a picture of my side braid I got a lot of questions on how I created it and what products I used. With that being said I thought I would share a fun tutorial with you on how I create this look using extensions. Because as much as I wish my hair was this long I have to use extensions for a bit of help and that’s A OK with me !

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

2 (2 CLIP WEFTS)

2 (1 CLIP WEFTS)

1 HAIR CLIP

1 TEASING COMB

1 HAIR ELASTIC

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1: Place all hair to one side I normally like to go to the side I part my bangs on. After this take a small section of hair at the middle of your ear (this is going to be where you place your 1st 2 clip weft)

STEP 2: Make sure you clip up the rest of your hair and tease the roots of your 1st section (helps holding extensions in) REMEMBER keep your hair to one side always, then clip “at an angle “.

STEP 3: Take another section of hair out just at the temples, tease roots, clip 2nd 2 clip weft.

STEP 4 & 5: Let the rest of your down from the clip. With this part you are going to focus on the bang part, use both of your index fingers or your teasing comb to create 1 big Triangle, tease a bit of hair just below that and clip in your 1 clip weft “not to close to your forehead”. When you have make one BIG triangle now make one more smaller one the same way, tease and clip ( your natural hair should be covering the extensions)

STEP 6 & 7 & 8: When your hair is all to one side you may being your dutch braid starting from the top down. Once you have your braid done and secured with an elastic I then pull apart my braid starting from the top so it looks a bit more fuller and to coverup any visible extension pieces.

I am by no means and expert so obviously I know its not perfect but I really wanted to share with you how I do my braid using my DIRTY LOOKS hair extensions that I love so much! They have
