III. How To Install Weave Hair?
Weave hair can be attached by various methods. Besides being installed by adhesives or clips as usual, the wefts can be weaved, beaded, or sewn to the natural hair of users. So here we going to share with you some ways to install your wefts. Check out what we have below:
1. Sew-in Method
Step #1: Remove a section of hair from the center of your head for leave-out. For a more natural look, you can also leave your edges free. Make two anchor braids around your leave-out to keep your sew-in weaves from looking bulky. For a flat surface, we recommend braiding your hair into cornrows. To secure the hanging braids, use a C-needle and thread.
Step #2: Cover your hair with a weaving net. This is a great way to fill gaps between your braids. A weaving net also allows you to sew the weave hair extensions with more room. If your strands are thick and your braids are small with few to no gaps in between, you don’t need to use a weaving net.
Step #3: Sew the hair weave starting at the nape of your neck and working your way up the cornrows. Begin at the edge of the cornrow and try to keep it as flat as possible. Remember that our main goal is to hide the fact that we are wearing hair extensions. When you reach the opposite end of the cornrow, repeat the process until the entire head is covered.
Step #4: Cut the cornrow once you’ve sewed the end to the track. This will help you get an accurate measurement. After you’ve finished sewing the weave hair extensions, straighten your leave-out and apply edge control cream. Heat styling tools can be used to style your sew-in hair however you want. To protect your hair from heat damage, set the tools to a cool temperature or use a heat protectant. Finish up by adding your own details to the style and make it your own.
“This method suits all types of hair. But this is not recommended for those whose hair is too weak, fragile, or damaged.”

Step #2: Start from the middle, collect a few strands of your hair with hair from the weft with the same amount.
Step #3: Slip 1 bead onto the loop, pull the collected hair through the loo. Then, insert the hair into the ring and slide the bead up to the top just underneath the stitching.
Step #4: Use the plier to clamp the microbead ring, pushing it up and back to a zero-degree angle. Keep repeating those steps with the rest of your wefts and finish!

3. Clip-ins Method
Clip-ins are by far the easiest way to apply extensions to the hair. They are exactly what their name is, clip-ins. The clip is sewn into the extension and allows you to clip the extension into the hair. The clip allows for easy weave installation. Normally people wear these if they want to add some extra length, really fast. It looks great on straight hair. Clip-ins are the latest and greatest thing in the natural hair world, too.

To install, just part your hair where you want the extension to go and clip it onto your scalp like your combing hair. For example, let’s say you were wearing a braid out style with your natural hair and you wanted a full look, clip-ins would be great to use. You wouldn’t even need to add a lot either, maybe just two or three clip-ins around certain parts of your head to give you a fuller look.
