Get a small section of your synthetic hair for your first braid. Divide that section into two, cross them over and grab the opposite ends

Part a small section of your hair. Divide that section into 3 pieces.

Connect two of the four pieces of synthetic hair together and hold the other strands together

Lay the three strands of synthetic hair against your real hair parted in those three sections

Grab the synthetic hair along with your real hair and begin to weave it in

Weave synthetic hair and natural hair all the way down

Cut off excess synthetic hair making sure to avoid natural hair

Burn ends or dip ends in hot water to further thin out ends.
