Are you afraid of getting it wrong and ending up with a mess of hair extensions? With the right techniques and tools, anyone can achieve that perfect salon-look plait. This article provides a step-by-step guide to braid in hair extensions, ensuring you achieve the results you're after each and every time.

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Before you begin, you’ll need a few tools to help you achieve great results:

* Hair extensions that match the color of your natural hair

* A comb and brush

* Elastics

* Hairspray

Step 2: Prepare Your Hair

Make sure your natural hair is free from any tangles and knots before starting. Take time to section your hair into three even portions, each the same width and combed through.

Step 3: Achieve Hair Extension Perfection

Place one hair extension at the end of each section. Grab the extensions and hold them in place while braid your natural hair as you would normally. By using a loose tension, the hair extensions will come in and out of each braid as you complete the plait, making it look more natural.

Step 4: Secure Your Plait

Once the plait is finished, secure the end with an elastic, ensuring the plait is tight and secure. Using a light mist of hairspray across the top and sides of the braid can help keep everything in place all day.

Step 5: The Finishing Touch

Using your fingers, gently pull apart your plait to add texture and volume.

Conclusion

If you follow these five simple steps, you can get the perfect plait look with hair extensions every time. Even if you’re new to the world of plaits and hair styling, you can now achieve salon-quality results from the comfort of your own home.
