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

Here we are in step number three of the lace closure sew in tutorial in this step I will be walking you step-by-step through how to someone you Mrs. Rutter's hair extensions onto your braid pattern base the hair I will be using are Mrs. Rutter's virgin hair extensions and the length of one bundle being 22 inches two bundles are 20 inches and I will also be using a 14 inch closure that have all been dyed the color black this hair is 100% pure virgin hair that comes in the natural shade of brown so if you want to learn how to dye your hair extensions go ahead over to howtoblackhair.com to watch that coloring tutorial so to begin I will be demonstrating in this step how to sew your extensions onto your braid pattern base and in a later step I'll be showing you how to sew in your lace closure as you can see I've already progressed with sewing in my extensions for my lace closure sewin hairstyle I have already sew in the complete bundle of 22 inches 20 inches and now i have just started stitching my last bundle which is 20 inches I'm demonstrating to show you that the entire process is going to be repeated across your entire head so now at this point I am going to show you how you want to stitch your extensions I will also show you how important it is to lay your extensions a certain way near the hairline I will also show you the flip over method as well as you can see my closure is not installed and it’s a reason why the reason why is because as your sewing in your extensions is very easy to add a little bit of tension here a little bit of tension there on different parts of your head and if you sew you closure first the closure will naturally look shifted than what it was in the first place on your head so for example if you sew you closure first and then stitch all your extensions its natural the your closure would look like it shifted to the left or to the right so what I like to do is sew almost and so there's enough area left for the closure then I like to sew the closure then I like to close it off with the rest of the extensions that's why you see this here and I'm going to demonstrate to you how to do your stitching technique so make sure you have a couple of needles ready and prepared so that you can continue to flow through the process so when stitching you want to make sure that you locate the end of your thread and you going to have a knot and it's very simple way prepare your thread you just take a length of the thread put it through the eye of the needle bring both loose ends together form a knot and then clip the end so now what you want to do is make sure the knot is hanging down you want to grab your needle with your dominant hand you want to go underneath the weft through the net out of the net and then create your knot so I have left off here to take my needle want to go underneath the weft through the net and then I'm going go back out to through the net and I'm going to pull the needle through make sure you locate the ends of your knot on your string and do my knotting technique my knotting technique involves putting the needle through the opening once putting it back through twice and pulling straight through to create your knot this is the stitching technique you going to use throughout the entire process I am going to demonstrate one more time underneath the weft through the net pull straight through locate your string you are going to put the needle once put it through twice and create your knot now continue working up making sure that the actual track of your bundles are very close to one another once we get to this point I'm going to show you how important it is to make sure that your laying your track on your extension is flat to your scalp as possible right underneath your braid so now that I've sewn my extensions all the way down to where my perimeter area is going to show you up close how important it is to lay your track flat against your scalp to make sure that the track is actually against the braid and not on top of the braid so that way as the hair is lifting or movement is happening with your hair your actual netting doesn't show or your braid doesn't show or your track itself doesn't show as well right now I'm at the point where I have to begin stitching my extension here along my perimeter braid remember this is a leave out here so this is your actual perimeter braid you want to make sure that the weft itself is laying very flat against her scalp and that when you stitch it is actually stitched next to the braid and not on top of the braid the reason why force is because as the wind blows or you are having any movement with your hair when its lifting you won’t see any track or weft of the actual extension you won’t see your braid and you also will see the net so with your very next stitch you want to grab your thread you want to go underneath the weft and then you want to go through the braid on your perimeter here pull through and do your knot technique and then when you stitch it make sure the track is laying against your scalp and then tighten your knot so that way you're reinforcing exactly what you want it to look like underneath the weft then through part of your braid for the needle through then create your knot make sure as you are creating use your fingers to make sure the weft is staying on your scalp then you are going to do this a couple more times before you actually do your flip over method now your flip over method ensures that you don't have to continue to cut your extensions to sew in a U-shaped fashion when you're sewing in your extensions for the style or any other sew in style for that matter you want to make sure that you doing in a U-shaped fashion all the way up towards with your leave out is all your closure will be the flip over method stops you from cutting your extensions so that way you won't have any issues with shedding because every time you cut your extensions you increase the risk of shed hairs so at this point from the stitching that I have done you can see that when I lift my hair here that you won't see any braid underneath or you won’t see the weft of the extensions or you won’t see the netting so now after I cut this string here I am going to add another needle and thread and show you the flip over method so we are going to bring this track right back around and finish sewing without actually cutting the weft of the extension so now to do your flip over method what you want to do is simply just fold your extensions over and sew at the point where it bulges right at the fold you want to make sure that point where it bulges right at the folds is as flat as possible so you have a flat install so now I'm going to do is make sure that I fold it over and then insert my needle underneath the weft through the net pull through then once I pull through I am going to create my so now you want to do this a couple of times at the point where it folds to make sure is very flat and then you can continue stitching all the way around in a U-shaped fashion so they want to get to the other side you just keep going to flip over method until you reach all the way up to way you want your extensions to go so now that I've successfully folded it over I am going to continue stitching very close to my weft my next area here and just keep working my way around flip over method and they continue to work my way all the way back around until I'm ready for my closure I'm only going to bring the extension all the way over to the other side and in a later step our show you how to sew in your closure as well as how I'm going to finish off sewing the rest of my extensions so keep doing your flip over method so you're not cutting your extensions so that you can continue to stitch all of your hair appropriately in case you don’t understand how to do your knotting technique when you are stitching your extensions onto your weaving net I am going to show you how what you want to do is take your needle and you want to go a little bit over a space away from your previous knot go under the weft through the net bring the needle out and then do your knot technique which the show you so underneath this weft here through the net once I go through the net I am going to come back out right above the weft and then when I come out the knotting technique requires you to wrap your string around needle twice and then pull through to create your knot so you go once twice and then pull your needle out and there's your knot now I am going to show you once again go underneath the weft through the net come out the net right above the weft wrap your string around once twice and pull the needle straight through to create your knot this is a knotting technique that works anywhere on your head and you going to do this nine technique the entire time is the only technique you going to use a sew your extensions now as well as your closure so as you can see I've already taught you how to do your stitching technique as well as how to do the flip over method and you want to continue doing these methods and techniques in a U-shaped fashion back and forth back and forth back and forth until you get all the way up to where you wanted it to be you want to make sure that you leave enough space around the edges so that way you can finish closing off your sewin after you do your closure don't do your closure first because you don't want to increase the chances of the closure shifting around on your head make sure that you're almost done sewing in your extensions then you want to grab your closure put it where you need it to be and then you want to stitch it so as you can see is probably about it into more space on both sides and is perfectly fine that's exactly how you want it to be after stitching the closure you will then close off your sewin and make sure that you sew your extensions all the way up to the closure to finish your install this wraps up part three of the lace closure sewin tutorial in step I have taught you a lot of information I want you to incorporate to make sure that your install is very flat and also to make sure you doing the knotting technique the flip over method as well as saving some space around your extension to install your closure to then close your sewin off with the rest of your extensions so now in the very next step, step number four I will be walking you step-by-step through how to sew in your lace closure
