  Part a section of hair towards the top of your head, gather it back, and secure with a hair elastic. Optional: Clip in two stacked 1-clip wefts in this section for extra volume.

  Wrap the ponytail into a bun, loosely twisting as you go for added texture.

• 3

  Secure the bun with bobby pins.

  Take a section of hair toward one side of your face and braid it into a reverse Dutch braid. Optional: Stack two 1-clip wefts in this section first for a fuller braid.

  Fishtail braid each pigtail and secure with an elastic.
