This is how it’s done:

- Separate the top of your hair and clip aside. - Backcomb your hair at the roots and clip your weft in along the hairline. - Unclip your hair and blend in over the weft, backcombing for extra volume. - Tie your hair back into a low ponytail and adjust for an extra boost. - Wrap a thin strand of hair around the base of your ponytail and pin into place. - Conceal your bobble using a small strand of hair and pin into place also. - Separate your ponytail into two even sections. - Separate a small strand of hair from the outer edge of the left section and transfer to the right section. - Repeat the previous step on the opposite side. - Keep alternating sides until you reach the bottom of the plait and tie into place at the bottom; you’re done!
