PREPARING FOR HAIR WEAVING
Using a curved needle and strong thread specifically designed for hair weaving, the weft is sewn onto the cornrows. Starting from one end and working towards the other, several stitches are made along the track to secure the weft The needle is carefully passed through the weft and the cornrow, ensuring that the stitches are tight and secure. This process is repeated for each row of the cornrow base until the desired style is achieved It is important to maintain even tension throughout the sewing process to ensure a consistent and natural look
In the case of a bonding or fusion weave, a slightly different approach is taken to attach and secure the extensions A small amount of bonding glue or adhesive specifically designed for hair extensions is applied to the root of the weft or extension. Carefully pressing the glued weft onto the cornrow base, starting from the nape of the neck and moving upwards, secures the weft in place Using a weaving comb or fingers, the weft is pressed to ensure a secure attachment. The pressure applied helps the adhesive bond the weft to the natural hair, creating a strong and durable connection. This process is repeated until all the wefts are attached, ensuring that the extensions are evenly distributed and blend seamlessly with the natural hair For a fusion weave, small sections of the natural hair and extension hair are taken.
