Instructions

  1. Small 105500 2f2014 11 10 220833 november%2b10 2c%2b2014%2b %2bhair%2btutorial 3

    Start by pinning the upper part of your hair up with bobby pins or alligator clips.

  2. Small 105500 2f2014 11 10 220849 november%2b10 2c%2b2014%2b %2bhair%2btutorial 5

    Tease the roots all around your head, and spray with hair spray. This will ensure that the extensions stay in well.

    Pin the back into a french twist. It doesn't have to look like anything special--this is just to hide the short hairs from peeking through. I usually tease all the back and spray it before pinning it so it stays really well.

    Add the extensions. I try to overlap them slightly, so that it's thicker in the back.

  5. Small 105500 2f2014 11 10 220929 november%2b10 2c%2b2014%2b %2bhair%2btutorial 10

    Because I had just curled my extensions, they were looking pretty crazy, so I gently pulled apart the curls with my fingers and pulled the curls down to relax them a little bit.

  6. Small 105500 2f2014 11 10 220940 november%2b10 2c%2b2014%2b %2bhair%2btutorial 11

    Let down the top part of your hair, and curl lightly. I usually just do the front and sides a bit.

  7. Small 105500 2f2014 11 10 220954 november%2b10 2c%2b2014%2b %2bhair%2btutorial 12

    Pull the hair around back and to the side into a side pony-tail. This covers the weird short bits that don't really look right.

  8. Small 105500 2f2014 11 10 221015 november%2b10 2c%2b2014%2b %2bhair%2btutorial 14

    Pin any stray bits that are hanging out. Spray down any pieces that may poke out.

    All finished! This usually takes me about 10 minutes in the morning if I'm lucky enough to do my hair while my daughter naps!
