Braided Extensions

Hair braiding is one of the oldest methods of hair addition. In this technique a section of the hair is parted separated and parted in two. Using the additional hair as the third leg on a braid , lacing between the natural hair and continue to separate into three legs until the entire braid is done. Using this same method to get it started, a quarter of an inch from the scalp gets braided , then glued or hand tied with thread or Brazilian string. Leaving the entire extension loose results in a natural look Vs braiding it all the way to the ends. On the other hand braiding them all the way to the ends makes for no maintenance while they last. This is a great method for Afro American due to the growth pattern of the textured hair. On hair that is of looser texture as in Caucasian texture this method wont last as long. the hair tends to untangle. The longevity of this technique is about two months maximum.
