For this method you will use bulk hair to incorporate the extension,
just as other methods such as Haipolice, Prostyles, etc... Keeping
tension is the most challinging part! It will want to slide away from
the scalp! The braid is soooo tiny, but you'll get it! Practice!
Start with a basic three strand braid. Your section should be tiny, apx. 1/8" (or smaller) I think mine could be smaller.I'm still working with this method!
After you braid about 1/4" down, youll use your latch hook and place it between these divided sections: one being soley the extension strand and the other- the natural hair along with the other end of the extension strand. They will be separated from the eachother. So, you'll have 2 strands on one side and 1 on the other.

Once wrapped twice put the strand in the*hook* Pull down. This sometimes is difficult because of the tension. Be patient! I sometimes use my rat-tail if I can see the "loop" come through.
