Are you considering installing the Little Tress Water Wave Hair but unsure of how to go about it? Look no further! In this guide, we will take you through the installation process, stretching the hair for a fuller look, and styling techniques to achieve the desired results. Whether you're a beginner or experienced with crochet braiding, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the process, ensuring a flawless installation every time.
1. Introduction
The Little Tress Water Wave Hair is a popular choice for those looking for a voluminous and natural-looking hairstyle. Its water wave pattern gives it a soft and bouncy texture, perfect for achieving a glamorous and effortless look. In this guide, we will provide you with the knowledge and techniques to install and maintain the Little Tress Water Wave Hair for a stunning result.
2. Installation Process
Reusing Cornrows
If you have previously installed the Little Tress Water Wave Hair and had cornrows underneath, you have the option to reuse them for this installation. This can save time and ensure a secure foundation for your new style.
Sectioning the Hair
Before starting the installation process, it is essential to section your hair properly. Divide your hair into approximately 9 to 10 small sections to ensure an even distribution of the crochet hair. While perfect parts are not necessary, make sure to thoroughly detangle and moisturize each section.
Preparing the Mesh Cap
To achieve a seamless and comfortable installation, it is recommended to use a stretchy mesh cap. Ensure you have the correct cap size for your head and adjust it to fit securely. If necessary, you can trim any excess cap material.
Installing the Hair
Begin by installing the hair on the sides, going under the braids and the base of your hair. Use a crochet needle to loop the hair through, making sure to pull it tight for a secure hold. For a natural look, loop the hair three times before tightening.
3. Stretching the Hair
Making Four Packs Stretch
To minimize the need for additional hair packs, you can stretch the hair by separating each section into two. This technique allows for a fuller look using fewer packs. Be gentle when pulling the hair apart to avoid excessive frizz.
Separating the Hair
After stretching the hair, continue with the installation process, working your way up the back of your head. Be mindful to leave about an inch of space on the back row, as hair will fall over it when you move up.
4. Styling
Tucking the Hair Underneath
Once the hair is installed, tuck your natural hair underneath the mesh cap from the back to the front. This ensures a neat and polished appearance.
Looping the Hair
For a secure hold, loop the hair around the base of your natural hair multiple times before pulling it tight. This will prevent any loose strands from sticking out.
Trimming the Hair
If desired, trim the hair to your preferred length. It's recommended to do a trial styling and trim after the installation process to prevent cutting too much hair off. Remember, the hair will spring back and appear bouncy even after a cut.
Applying Curling Mousse
To enhance and define the curls, apply a curling mousse, such as Cantu Wave Whip Curling Mousse, to each section of hair. Run it through the hair to calm any frizz and promote curl formation.
5. Progress and Adjustments
One Row Installation
Continue the installation process, moving around your head. Aim to leave an inch of space on the back row to avoid an overly full appearance.
Bulking up the Hair
As you install more hair, you will notice the volume increasing. Adjust the positioning of the hair to achieve your desired volume. Avoid excessive bulk in the back, as subsequent rows will cover it.
Cutting the Band
Once the hair is secured, consider cutting off the thick part of the band to ensure it remains hidden. Lift the band with your scissors and snip it slowly, leaving only a thin part exposed.
Final Trimming
After completing the installation, assess the length of your hair. Part it in the back and cut across to achieve your desired length. Keep in mind that the hair will bounce back slightly when released.
Applying Wave Curling Mousse
Once you have trimmed the hair, apply a small amount of curling mousse to define the curls further. Run it through your hair by section, ensuring a uniform distribution.
6. Final Look and Maintenance
Assessing the Hair Length
After the installation and styling, take a moment to admire your new hair. The Little Tress Water Wave Hair provides a voluminous and glamorous look, reminiscent of iconic divas like Donna Summer and Diana Ross.
Layering the Hair
For added dimension, consider layering the hair. Push it back carefully to create a cascading effect, giving your hairstyle an extra touch of sophistication.
Maintenance Tips
While the Little Tress Water Wave Hair offers a stunning appearance, it does require some maintenance. Avoid applying too much oil to the hair, as synthetic hair does not absorb it like natural hair. Instead, concentrate on using curling mousse to maintain the desired shape and manage frizz.
