Step-by-Step Guide
Before we get started, make sure you have the following tools:

- Comb
- Shampoo and conditioner
Now, let’s begin:
Step 1: Prepare Your Natural Hair
Wash and condition your natural hair. Make sure it’s completely dry before you begin. Part your hair where you want the weave to start and clip the rest of your hair out of the way.
Step 2: Braid Your Hair
Braid your natural hair in cornrows. Make sure the braids are small and close to your scalp. The number of braids will depend on the style you want to achieve.
Step 3: Thread Your Needle
Thread your curved needle with the thread. Double knot the end of the thread.
Step 4: Attach the Weave
Start sewing the weave onto the braids. Make sure the weave is aligned with your part. Use a backstitch to secure the weave to the braid. Continue sewing until you reach the end of the braid. Cut the thread and double knot it to secure the weave.
Step 5: Repeat
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have sewn in all the weave you want.
Step 6: Style
Style your weave as desired. Use a flat iron or curling iron to create waves or curls. Use a comb to blend your natural hair with the weave.
