Step-by-Step Guide
Now that you have a basic understanding of sew in weaves, let’s get started with the step-by-step process:

- Braid your natural hair into cornrows. The size and pattern of the cornrows will depend on the style you want to achieve.

- Cut and style the hair extensions to your desired length and shape.
- Finish by blending your natural hair with the hair extensions using a flat iron or curling iron.
