Are you looking for a stylish and easy way to wear your hair up with hand tied extensions? Look no further! In this article, we’ll show you step-by-step how to create a chic and effortless updo with your hand tied extensions. From braids to buns, we’ve got you covered.
Description
Hand tied extensions are a popular type of hair extension that are sewn onto a weft and then attached to your natural hair using a bead or thread. They offer a natural and seamless look, and can be styled in a variety of ways. One of the easiest and most versatile styles is an updo. Whether you’re going to a wedding or just want a quick and easy hairstyle for everyday wear, an updo with hand tied extensions is the way to go.
How to
Step 1: Prepare your hair
Before you start styling your hair, make sure it’s clean and dry. You can either air dry your hair or blow dry it on low heat. Once your hair is dry, brush it out to remove any tangles or knots.
Step 2: Section your hair
Using a comb, create a parting down the center of your head from your forehead to the nape of your neck. Then create a horizontal parting from ear to ear, so you have four sections of hair. Clip the top two sections of hair out of the way.
Step 3: Install the hand tied extensions
Using a crochet hook, install the hand tied extensions in the bottom two sections of hair. Be sure to place them close to the scalp to ensure a natural look. Once you’ve installed all the extensions, blend them in with your natural hair using a brush or comb.
Step 4: Create your updo
Now it’s time to create your updo. There are many different styles you can choose from, but here are a few of our favorites:
- Braided bun: Create a low ponytail at the nape of your neck and braid it. Then wrap the braid around the base of the ponytail and secure it with bobby pins.
- Messy bun: Gather your hair into a high ponytail and twist it into a bun. Use bobby pins to secure the bun in place, leaving a few pieces of hair loose for a relaxed look.
- Half-up half-down: Take the top section of hair and pull it back into a half-up half-down style. Secure it with a clip or bobby pins.
Tips
- Use a texturizing spray or dry shampoo to add volume and texture to your hair before styling.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment with different updo styles to find the one that works best for you.
- Use bobby pins that match your hair color to hide them in your updo.
