  2. Part and sectionClean square or triangle parts are mapped across your head to the size you chose.
  3. Start with your own hairEach braid begins with your natural hair, then extension hair is fed in gradually — no knot, flat at the root, less tension.
  4. Braid to lengthEven, consistent three-strand braids down to your chosen length.
  5. Sculpt the topThe top section is braided back and gathered into a bun or top knot.
  6. Seal and setEnds are sealed in hot water, then braids are set with mousse and wrapped so they dry smooth and frizz-free.
