Yeah, sectioning not only helps me notice the progress I'm making but also helps me gauge how well I'm using the extension hair and that I won't run out before I'm done. I usually part in diamond shapes so I first part the whole head into 4 by creating two diagonal parts. Then I put the front and side sections into 3 square plaits so I can focus on the back. I also part the extension hair into sections. While this is also helpful in making sure you don't run out of hair, I do it more importantly in order to avoid wasting the extension. I find that pulling the hair I'm going to use from a smaller bunch than from the entire bunch leads to very little tangling and hence hardly any wasted hair.

Thanks Anky! It's really not that difficult, all you have to really master is gripping the hair and getting a firm base. Once you got that down, its smooth sailing. The plaiting is the easy part

Oh, and I also sat with a mirror in front and back of me so I could make my parts in the back neat, and could see all sections of my head as I was working.....and I'm lazy too, hence the multiple 3 hour breaks I took :lachen:

Well...

1. Parted my hair in 4 sections
2. Worked on each section at a time making small parts and adding in the braiding hair with my own (took the human hair wrapped it around the piece of my hair, taking a lil of the braiding hair and putting it with my real hair, so all 3 parts to the plait had braiding hair in them. I find that doing it this way ensures a tighter grip. Then commenced to plaiting down about 4-5 inches. )
3. For the back, I used 2 mirrors so I could see what I was doing clearly

That's basically it!
 
You did SUCH a good job. I bought a brading video a long time ago so that I could do my own but I haven't mastered getting a tight base yet. Once I do, it on!!!
 
Those look so professional:yep:
You know you rocking them too!!
Sooooo,how are you getting them to stay w/o the glue?
I can't do micros in my own big *** head anymore:nono:
No patience whatsoever...

I find that glue isnt necessary. I just plait down about 5 inches and let em hang! They stay in till I'm ready to take em out

how long did it take you to finish?
 
They look great to me :grin: I think you should start your own braiding business....You could get mad business for sure IMO... I wish I could do them that good.

They look good, and since you mentioned you are a broke college student you could start braiding hair for others on the side to make some money. Looks like you do quality work..love the earrings too!!
