How to Attach Silk Base Lace Closures and Hair Extensions Naturally

Human hair extensions, hair weaves,lace closures and silk base closures help women achieve a natural look with synthetic hair.A silk base closure is used to create natural looking hair extensions. It is a light tie used to attach hair weaves to natural hair or a wig in a square pattern. If you are crafty and have time on your hands, you may be able to save some money by tying in your own silk base closure.

Steps:1.Braid your hair into vertical cornrow. Place a 2-by-4 or 3-by-4 size silk base closure at the top center of your (or your client's) head in the spot where you want to attach it. Mark this space by creating two horizontal braids that run from the center front of your scalp to the back, spaced four inches long and two or three inches apart.

2.Place the silk base lace closure on top of the horizontal braids. Hold the silk base closure against your head with two hair pins, one at the front and one at the back of the lace closure.

3.Insert two curved threading needles into the braided hair beneath the front of the silk base closure. Thread human or synthetic hair through the needles' holes.

4.Thread a lock stitch into the right front side of the silk base closure, attaching it to your head. Create a lock stitch by sliding the needle through the silk base so that you create a loop with the hair, slide the needle back through the loop to lock the loop into place. Repeat twice, then switch to the left side of the closure. Sew three lock stitches with the curved threading needle on the left side of the lace closure. Move back to the right side and repeat the process. Continue stitching, three lock stitches at a time, alternating side to side until the lace closures is attached completely.

5.Unbraid your hair or sew in hair extensions as desired, to the rest of the head so that the hair extensions blend in naturally with the lace closure to create a realistic look.
