HOW TO USE BULK HAIR TO BRAIDS ?

Using bulk hair for braids is a popular method for creating fuller, longer, or more elaborate braids. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you with the process:

Materials You’ll Need:

  1. Bulk Hair: Typically, synthetic hair that comes in bulk form.
  2. Combs/Brushes: For detangling and parting.
  3. Hair Clips: To keep sections of hair in place.
  4. Hair Ties: For securing sections of hair.
  5. Edge Control or Gel (optional): For a smoother finish.



Steps to Braid with Bulk Hair:

  1. Prepare Your Hair:

    • Clean and Detangle: Ensure your natural hair is clean and thoroughly detangled.
    • Part Your Hair: Decide where you want your braids to be and part your hair accordingly.
  2. Section Your Hair:

    • Divide your natural hair into sections based on how many braids you want.
    • Secure each section with a hair tie or clip.
  3. Prepare the Bulk Hair:

    • Separate the Bulk Hair: Take a small amount of bulk hair from the pack. You can separate it into smaller pieces depending on the thickness you want.
    • Detangle the Bulk Hair: Gently detangle the bulk hair to avoid tangles while braiding.
  4. Install the Bulk Hair:

    • Add Bulk Hair to Your Natural Hair: For each section of natural hair, add a piece of bulk hair. You can place it at the root or where you want the braid to start.
    • Secure with a Hair Tie: Use a hair tie to secure the bulk hair and your natural hair together at the root.
  5. Start Braiding:

    • Divide into Three Sections: Divide the combined natural hair and bulk hair into three sections as you would for a regular braid.
    • Braid as Usual: Begin braiding by crossing the outer sections over the middle one, incorporating the bulk hair as you go. Make sure the braid is even and smooth.
  6. Finish the Braid:

    • Secure the Ends: Once you reach the end of the braid, secure it with a hair tie or elastic band.
    • Adjust and Neaten: Adjust the braid to ensure it's neat and the bulk hair is evenly distributed.
  7. Final Touches:

    • Smooth and Tame: Use edge control or gel if needed to smooth out any frizz or flyaways.
    • Trim Excess: If there are any uneven ends or stray hairs, trim them for a polished look.

Tips:

  • Practice Makes Perfect: It might take a few tries to get the hang of adding bulk hair seamlessly.
  • Choose the Right Color: Make sure the bulk hair matches or complements your natural hair color for a natural look.
  • Keep It Neat: Regularly detangle the bulk hair to avoid matting and tangling.

With practice, you’ll be able to achieve beautiful, full braids with bulk hair!
