How to prepare the hair for the hairstyle

Before beginning the hairstyle, it's important to prepare the hair. If your hair extensions are too long, you may want to cut them to a more manageable length. To do this, divide the extensions into three even pieces and then stretch them to ensure they are tangle-free. Using your fingers, gently detangle the hair. Once the hair is detangled, brush it to remove any loose hairs. Applying gel to the natural hair is essential to achieve a neat and sleek look.

Creating the knotless braid sections

To start the knotless braid process, part your hair into sections. The size of the sections depends on your preference, but make sure they are not too small or too large. Apply gel to each section and re-part them to ensure clean and precise braids. For the back section, make four larger sections by dividing the hair in half. This will help create even and balanced braids. Remember to secure the remaining hair that you're not working on to avoid tangles.

Adding braiding hair to the sections

When adding braiding hair to the sections, apply gel to each section of your natural hair. Then, take three pieces of braiding hair and hold them between your index finger and thumb. Begin braiding by crossing one piece under the section of hair and the other piece over it. Repeat this pattern while keeping a firm grip on all the strands. It may take some practice to master the technique, but it will result in smooth and seamless braids.

Securing the ends of the braids

To ensure the braids are secure, it's important to properly secure the ends. Take a small piece of hair from the extension and wrap it around the end of the braid. Secure it in place by twisting it multiple times. Repeat this process for each braid. By securing the ends, you prevent them from unraveling and keep the braids intact for a longer period of time.

Making the flexi rod curls

To add curls to the braids, you'll need flexi rods. Dip the braids into hot water for about a minute to help set the curls. Once the braids are wet, roll them onto the flexi rods. You can choose to start rolling from the midsection of the hair towards the ends or from the roots towards the ends, depending on your desired look. Make sure to use a small comb to comb through the hair before rolling it onto the rods to ensure even and smooth curls.

Dipping the curls in hot water

After rolling the braids onto the flexi rods, dip them into hot water once again. Be cautious with the hot water as the hair is now shorter and more delicate. This step helps to set the curls and give them a more defined shape. Allow the curls to soak in the hot water for a few seconds and then remove them. You can use a towel to remove excess water before taking down the curls.

Taking down the curls

After removing the flexi rods, you'll notice beautifully formed curls. Carefully unravel each curl and adjust them as needed. You can choose to leave the curls as they are or style them further. The curls will vary in length depending on your preference and the desired final look. Enjoy the transformation and relish in the newfound elegance.

Styling the curls into a bun

To create a sophisticated bun with the curls, gather all the hair and tie it together using black wool or a hairband. Position the bun at the center or slightly towards the back of your head, depending on your preference. It's important not to make the bun too tight to avoid discomfort. Use bobby pins to secure the curls in place and ensure the bun looks neat and elegant.

Finalizing the hairstyle

Once the bun is secured, you may have some front strands left. You can choose to either leave them longer for a more tousled look or trim them shorter for a polished appearance. Use scissors to trim the strands, but be careful not to cut too much. Finish off the hairstyle by ensuring all the curls are in place and secure. You can now confidently rock this trending hairstyle with grace and style.
