How to
Before we get started, here are a few things you'll need:

Now, let's get into how to put your hair up with hand tied extensions:
Step by step
Step 1: Start by brushing your hair thoroughly to remove any tangles.
Step 2: Gather the top section of your hair, leaving out a small section of hair in the front, and tie it into a high ponytail using an elastic hair tie. Make sure the ponytail is tight and secure.
Step 3: Take a weft of hand tied extensions and clip it onto the base of the ponytail. Make sure the weft is clipped in securely.
Step 4: Take a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic hair tie to hide it. Secure the end of the section of hair with a bobby pin.
Step 5: Take another weft of hand tied extensions and clip it onto the base of the ponytail, below the first weft. Again, make sure the weft is clipped in securely.
Step 6: Divide the ponytail into two equal sections and twist each section in opposite directions. Then, wrap the twisted sections around each other to create a twisted bun. Secure the bun with bobby pins.
Step 7: Take another weft of hand tied extensions and clip it onto the base of the bun. Again, make sure the weft is clipped in securely.
Step 8: Take the small section of hair that you left out at the beginning and wrap it around the base of the bun to hide the weft. Secure the end of the section of hair with a bobby pin.
Step 9: Use hairspray to set your updo in place.
