Clip-in hair extensions are easy to use but you’re limited to how thick each section is.


When you buy bulk hair without any kind of attachment, you have a lot of flexibility in how to use it.


Here are two quick and simple hairstyles I did by braiding extra hair into my own.

Tools and materials:

  • No-attachment bulk hair
  • Clear hair ties
  • Hair grips
  • Hairdressing scissors
Extra hair

1. Extra hair

The beauty of these styles is that the hair extensions can be any color.

Adding a hair tie

2. Add a hair tie

Pull out the amount of hair you want to use and slide a clear hair tie into the center.

Tying hair in

3. Tie it in

Wrap the hair tie around a section of your own hair and tie it in securely.

Braiding

4. Braiding

Start braiding, incorporating your own hair into the braid.

Braiding

Continue the braid diagonally behind your ear until it reaches the length you want.


Braid the other side to match.

Trimming hair

5. Trimming

Bring both braids directly in front of you and snip vertically into the hair until both sides are the same length.

Tying ponytail

6. Another option

Draw your own hair into a ponytail and secure it.

Attaching hair

7. Attach the hair

Take some hair from the pack and thread a tie into the center.

Tying hair

Pull your ponytail into the tie and arrange the extra hair over your own.

Braiding

8. Braiding

Braid your own and the hair extensions together until you have a long enough braid to wrap into a bun.

Winding hair

9. Winding

Wind the braid around the base of the ponytail.


Continue winding the unbraided hair and hold it in place with hair grips.
