Sensationnel Synthetic Braid Snap - FRENCH WAVE

So LeAnne decided to go with a style with a Bob style with her beloved French Wave! She absolutely love her berets to enhance her style and beauty. So this would give her that "girly" look that she loves to flaunt!

So let's get this started!!!

Hair, Color, And Packs

My sister wants to do long and wavy hair. From the local beauty supply store, we decided to get:

Brand: Sensationnel

Type: French Wave

Color: 2 and 30

Price: $5.99/pack (purchased 5 packs)

Prepping The Hair

It is very important to prep your hair for long-term styling effectively and the correct way. I started by sectioning her hair in 2 sections (bottom and top). I braided the top in order to have a natural side part. The top braids were much smaller than the ones in the back so the part would look natural. Then I braided her hair down to finish the braiding pattern.

Crochet Braids Process:

The hair is very soft, fine, and easy to split. I split the extensions in thins strands to help with the knotting/securing process. I took my closed latch-hook and maneuver it under the cornrow, opened the latch then put the selected hair in the hook in a "bunny loop" way, then closed the latch hook.

After I feel the hair is secure in the latch-hook, I pulled my tool in reverse back under the cornrow until the "bunny loop" came through.

I opened the latch-hook and set it down. Then I took the loose strands and pulled them through the "bunny loop." For a secure installation, I looped each strand 3 times (rubber bank method) and reinforced it until secure.
