Full Sew In Step By Step Tutorial – (Part 3 of 7)

Welcome to step number three of the full sew in hairstyle in this step I will be teaching you how to sew Mrs. Rutter's hair extensions from MrsRutters.com onto your braid pattern base so for this step make sure you have your weaving needles prepared and your hair extensions on hand as well to do this process so in this step I will be teaching you how to sew your hair extensions onto your braid pattern base the hair that I'm using is Mrs. Rutter's hair extensions from MrsRutters.com and I will be doing my full sewin with three bundles of hair the bundle lengths are the 24 inches 22 inches and 20 inches also the hair comes the natural brown color but I decided to dye it black if you want to know how to dye your hair extensions then I suggest that you visit howtoblackhair.com to check out that coloring tutorial so to begin what you want to do is first begin sewing your extension anywhere on your head where you want the very perimeter of your head so what I mean by that is you can start in the front you start at the sides or the back or wherever you choose I am going to start on the perimeter of my head here on the side once I begin stitching I'm going to go in a continuous circle which my circle is going to start here and go all the way around my head back to that point when I close off that point I am going to make sure there's no gap there I am going to continue to stich it in a circle throughout the entire process so for your 24 inches 22 inches and 20 inches they are all going to be sewn in the direction of the circle so I'm going to begin by showing you how to stitch your extensions onto your braid pattern base now what you want to do first before you begin sewing your extensions to your braid pattern base is to secure your needle and thread at the very beginning of your weft what you see in between my fingers is the actual hair itself and what the hair is coming from is what you call a weft so now which one do is take your needle insert it through the weft and pull it out to create your knot as always you have to do the same knotting technique whenever you need to create knots which is by taking the needle and pulling it to the string twice and then pulling through to create your knot and now for your second knot go around the weft to create so now that your string is secure its going to help you keep track of where your extension is as you begin stitching it down to your braid pattern base so now I am going to stich about here at this point and as you make your first stitch you are going to go underneath the actual you are going to go through the net underneath the braid and then pull straight through this is to bring your extension up exactly where you want it sewn down so now for your second stitch you are going to go through the net underneath the braid and then you are going to go around the weft to create your knot locate the string wrapped around the needle twice and pull through do this once again go through your net and under your braid and also under the weft make sure the needle comes through and create your second knot now after you have created your second knot you are going to continue to stitch going alongside the perimeter so now just readjust your fingers and you want to go over to a space that's about here and you are going to create your next stitch when you stitching along perimeter make sure that the track is laying right against your skin so that its as flat as possible you are sewing it down so now just continue sewing until you go into an entire circle to keep stitching your extensions to go into to circle here I am at the point where I have fully sewn down the 24 inch bundle as you can see this is how much space it takes up so far now when you sewing your extensions make sure that the space from each track you are able to slide your index finger through you don't need the extensions so close together because you don't want your full sewin too thick so a great distance use is to be able to slide your index finger in-between each of the areas that you have sewn a layer so now I am going to show you how you are going to your next set of extensions which is the 22 inches and to make this process easier when adding in your extension you simply want to leave your needle and thread intact to begin sewing in your other set so i have left my needle and thread in and you are simply going to grab your new bundle of extensions and you are going to insert it through the weft of the extensions once you inserted through the weft you just draw the string all the way up in is going to go exactly at the point that you stopped at now this point you just going to create two knots there at the base of your extension and then continue to sew when your bundle ends at the very end where you are closing off your 22 inches you are also going to secure the last point that you stitched down with two knots as well so stitch the beginning with 2 knots and then also always stitch the end of your bundle with two knots but throughout the process do one knot at a time so now as you can see I've completely sewn in the 22 inch bundle and what's left to sew now is the 20 inch bundle so as you can see the sewing in all of your extension you leave a very small space at the top to create your hand made closure that I will teach you in another step to make sure you have enough space left to take two of your fingers and place it right at the whole if in all directions is about the space of two fingers this the perfect amount of space you want if is too small your closure may not be able to work properly or if it's too big it will look very obvious that you have created a closure so once you get to this point you have a little bit of hair left over from the 20 inches to now create your closure later in this step I taught you how to sew your hair extensions onto your braid pattern base be sure to keep in mind that you want to continue sewing in a circle and also you will start with the longest length on bottom and work your way up to your shortest when you're done you need to leave a small space at the top because I'm going to teach you how to close off your full sewin in the very next step step number four I'm going to be teaching you how to create your hand made closure to finish off your full sew in hairstyle
