How To Install Single-Ended Extensions
Thanks to Maudlynne for originally writing this tutorial! We've tweaked it a bit, but it's still her work in spirit. This tutorial shows how to install single-ended extensions with loops at the top.
In order to show as much detail as possible, the single-ended braids we're using for this tutorial have extra large loops at the top. Your extensions will more than likely have a much smaller loop than in the photos, but the tutorial still applies to them :)
What You will Need
- Single-ended dreads, braids, or twists.
- Rubberbands, ortho bands, or thread - available here!
- Latch hook needle or quick beader (optional but recommended) - available here!
- Mirrors (so you can see what you're doing!)
Instructions
1. Section off a piece of your real hair that you want to attach the extension to. Pull your real hair through the loop at the top of the extension with your latch hook needle or quick beader. If you don't have one, a piece of fishing line or wire bent into a loop or even a threader (like for sewing) can work. You just need something flexible and small that you can use to pull the hair through the loop.
2. Now you're going to poke a hole in your section of hair in between the extension and your scalp. Pull the section of your real hair through the hole until it's nice and tight; this step will keep your extensions from slipping out as easily as a normal braid would. When you're done with this step, the extension should be snug up against your head. If it's not, try again; it can take some practice get used to doing it.
3. Take the section of your real hair and split it into two strands.
4. Start doing a 3-way braid using the two pieces of your real hair and the extension for the strands. If you prefer to do blanket-stitch, you can substitute that instead; you'll want the extension to be the middle strand that gets wrapped by the other two if you're going that route.
5. Continue braiding until you get to the end of your real hair. Fasten the braid with a rubberband, and then you're done!
