How To Sew In Weave Yourself Step By Step TUTORIAL Part 3 of 7

Welcome to step number three of the partial sew in hairstyle using Mrs. Rutter's hair extensions from MrsRutters.com in this step I'm going to be focused on teaching you step-by-step how to sew in your hair extensions okay so in this step I'm going to be focused on teaching you how to sew in your hair extensions the extensions I will be using our Mrs. Rutter's hair extensions from Mrs.Rutters.com also I'm going to be using 4 bundles of hair in total and those lengths are 20 inches 22 inches 24 inches and 26 inches all of my hair bundles have been dyed the color black because the hair comes in a natural brown color and I like for my extensions to be a very dark black color so if you want to learn how to dye your extensions the color black make sure to visit howtoblackhair.com to watch that hair coloring tutorial so when we are beginning I want you to know that in order to make sure that your hair is gradually reaching the longer lengths you have to start with the longer lengths in the very back and then work your way towards the shorter lengths up top so that means you will sew your 26 inches in the back and then you will next go to 24 inches 22 inches and then 20 inches at the very top so that all the lengths gradually go down into layers now as well when you're starting with your first extension being sewn onto your head you want to make sure that you measure your extensions to go from this point here all the way around to your head to this point you are going to measure that I then you are going to cut your extension lengths and this is going to be your 26 inches if you are using the same inches as mine if not use your longest length first because you have to work from the longest length up to the shortest length now the reason why you want to measure your longest length around the entire perimeter of your head is because when you're wearing the partial sewin and you want the ability wear it up in a sew in you have to make sure that you have one fluent track extension going around your perimeter so that way when you lift up you dont have multiple extensions starting on your edges causing it not to be flat so now what I am going to do is measure out my 26 inches and then I'm going to begin stitching it down to show you how that process is done okay so right now as you can see I've pretty much sewn down my entire perimeter track except for the very last point thereon the right side of my head now the reason why I have done this is because the entire process is very repetitive you are going to do the same steps over and over and over again and I'm going to briefly explain those steps you because they’re very easy so when you start you want to make sure to secure the beginning of your extension right here at the point of your braid two times this is just going to ensure that it's not going anywhere and it's very secure at this point then what you are going to do is you are going to continue to do one stitch at a time going all the way around the entire edge head of your head all the way around to this point now every time you make a stitch you want to make sure that the track is positioned literally right against your scalp the reason why is because you want it to lay very flat your head if you sew it on top of your braid is going to be lifted from you scalp and it’s not going to be as flat as possible that's why you want to have the extension laying directly on your scalp as you make watch knot so that way when you wear your hair up into a ponytail it's extremely flat no lumps no bumps at all so when you straighten out your leave out and went into a high ponytail it’s going to look like real hair it’s not going to have any issues whatsoever so now I am just going to finish showing you how the process was done which means am going to keep making one knot at a time and then when I reach the very and which is at this point I'm going to create two knots to secure now if you do happen to have just a little bit the weft left over which is perfectly fine all you have to do is secure your last two knots and then trim the little bit the weft that's left you don't want weft hanging over because when you're combing out your hair and blending your leave out it won't look right if you have too much hair hanging off so this make sure your last stitch is perfectly where you want it to end and make two stitches there and then trim off the rest if necessary so now that I have my needle ready what I'm going to do is begin sewing so when you're sewing it doesn't matter if you go under the track or over the track what I like to do is go through the net under my braid and then under the track to create the knot the whole point no matter if you go this way or if you go this way is to make sure that every time you make a knot the track is flat against the scalp that's the whole purpose of doing this so now with my needle and thread attached I am going to go through my weaving net underneath my braid and also underneath the weft and you are going to do the same knotting technique which means you are going to go around the needle twice and you are going to pull through now when you pull through make sure that you are placing your extension on your scalp so that way when you create the knot its flat against your scalp and not on top of your braids so continue making your knots and then when she reached the very end secure with two knots make sure its pressed flat against your scalp and then secure the knot so now I'm at the point where I'm at the very end and I'm going to secure two knots right at that point then trim off the excess you see here now at this point what you want to do is go ahead and make the knot a little bit tighter cut it off and then cut off the string and then cut off your excess weft so here we are at the point where I'm almost done installing all of my extensions I have one last final row to sew on and I'm going to show you exactly how that's done because the way you are going to see me do it is the way you going to be sewing your extensions throughout your entire head previously I left off will show you how to so in your perimeter track so that way you can have the ability to wear hair up into a ponytail without it being any lumps or bumps with your look now when you sewing in the rest of your extensions you have to do so in a U-shaped fashion so that means you are going to start the very back of your head with the longest length and you are going to make sure to sew it in a U-shape and then you are going to do the flip over which I'll teach you going to seal down a flip of with two knots and you are going to continue to do your U-shaped pattern going back and forth back and forth so you go from your 26 inches to your 24, 22 on up to 20 as you reach closer to the top your U is going to get a little bit more tighter a little bit more tighter so that way it's a tight U at the very top of your head and is going to give you the ability to be able to blend you leave out with the so when you sewing the U is kind of slanted in the back and s you work your way up to the top you are going to make sure that is just getting a little bit tighter so that it fits perfectly how you want it to look so what I'm going to do a show you how to stitch down your very last extension how do the fold-over method and then how to finish off your look so here we are at the very top of my head and what I'm going to be doing is showing you how you want to sew your extensions and implement the fold-over method to finish your install so as I have stated before you are going to do the same techniques that I'm going to be showing you throughout the entire process of your head also additionally when you're sewing it down and doing your fold-over at the point where your fold is you want to make sure you secure that point with 2 knots and then you want to follow up going through here by doing one knot at a time also the fold-over is very important when you are doing your install because it’s going to prevent you from having to cut through the weft of your extensions because every time you cut through the weft of your extensions that increases your chances of hair shedding so to prevent that you can do the fold-over method throughout your entire head without having to cut through your weft so now that you understand that I'm going to begin sewing to show you how to process is done so with my needle and thread still intact you want to make sure to go under your weft through the net and then come back out to through the net and then create your knot so now right here near the point where the fold-over happens and you just want to do one last final stitch all the way through your braid there and then once you do that you are going to fold the track back over so now we flip the hair up and then you want to make sure that the fold is nice and flat where you want it to be make two stitches there and then continue making your stitches throughout your extensions so you are going to go underneath all the wefts which means you are going through two of them because it's a fold you are going to go underneath your braid pull through create your knot so now do that once more and then continue finishing your install just to recap this step was all about teaching you how to sewin your hair extensions be sure that the first track is sewn around the perimeter of your head is done so that way you have the ability to wear your hair up into a ponytail with a very flat and neat look for the rest of the extensions always start with the longest length in the back and work your way up to the top of your head with the shortest length of hair so now you have sewn in your hair extensions in the very next step, step number four I'm going to be teaching you how to straighten your hair extensions as well as how to straighten you leave out to blend with your look
