How to put in hand-tied hair extensions

Hand-tied hair extensions could be installed by the "natural beaded" method available to use on all hair types, especially on thin or fine hair due to the extremely thin weft design.
 
First, part the hair neatly and measure where you'd like your weft to begin and end at least two fingers width above the ear. If baby hairs get in the way, it becomes painful for your client because pieces are being pulled into the extension that should not be there, so clean partings are essential. Clip-on and mark where the weft ends so you can properly place the front beads. The front beads should be applied slightly behind where the weft will end.
 
Take a large rectangular section of hair and apply the first feed off base at about a 45-degree angle going back. Fit the most amount of hair you can in the bead to make a firm and secure base and prevent too much tension on the hair.
 
For the next bead, take a slightly smaller section of hair and a half-inch coming out of the previous bead and apply the bead-like before. The second bead should be parallel to the first. The third and subsequent beads can angle down following your planned departed path. Continue chaining the beads three-quarters of an inch apart until you've reached the middle of the head.
 
For each row, the stylist Put in a ring of the bead and sew the beads tight. It will loosen a bit when the hair grows out. You can have 2 or 3 rows according to your need.
