You only need the right tools, techniques, and a heavy serving of confidence.

In this post, I'm gon' to put you on everything you need to know to install bulk braiding hair like the sexy pro you are.  Let's get into it!

Prep Like a Pro

Before you even touch that hair, it pays to get things set up right.

Preparation is the key to a smooth, flawless installation.

Tools You'll Need:

• Rat-tail comb
• Clips or hair ties
• Deep Wave Braiding Hair (obviously!)
• Edge control for grip
• Scissors 
• Crochet hook (optional for certain methods)
• A spray bottle with water (for hydration)

To Prep Your Hair:

Start with clean, moisturized hair. No one wants to braid on a dry, tangled mess. A good leave-in conditioner and water would come in handy here.

You want to use a wide-tooth comb to detangle your hair completely. Trust me, this step will save you time and stress later.

Now, use your rat-tail comb to part your hair into sections. Neat parts set the pace for a flawless braid pattern.

Gently pull the ends of your bulk human braiding hair to stretch them out. This creates a tapered effect that gives your braids a natural finish.

Beginner-Friendly Techniques

If you're just starting out, don't stress.

These beginner methods are easy to learn and will still have you looking like you stepped out of a salon.

Box Braids

Box braids are a classic staple for a reason—they're simple, chic, and versatile.

Plus, they're one of the easiest styles for beginners to master.

How to Install:

1. Grab a small section of your hair and apply edge control to the roots for grip and a sleek finish.
2. Take a piece of the bulk human braiding hair and fold it in half.
3. Place the folded section over your natural hair, creating three parts: two from the braiding hair and one from your natural hair.
4. Braid as usual, keeping the tension even but not too tight.
5. When you're all done, trim the sides of each braid from root to tip to remove tiny hairs that may have stuck out.
6. Then, dip the ends in hot water to seal and smooth them.

Crochet Braids

Crochet braids are perfect if you're short on time but still want a flawless look.

This beginner-friendly method skips the traditional braiding process by using a crochet hook to attach the hair.

How to Install:

1. Cornrow your natural hair into a base pattern (straight-back is the easiest for beginners).
2. Use a crochet hook to loop the bulk human braiding hair under the cornrow.
3. Pull the hair through the loop and secure it tightly.
4. Repeat this step until the style is complete.

Crochet braids are fast, lightweight, and give you endless style options. I highly recommend cos they're perfect for beginners or anyone who loves a quick slay. And it can also be done with human hair bundles for a protective style.

Advanced Installation Techniques

Flex your muscles, sis, cos I'm about to take your skills up a notch.

These techniques require a little more practice but deliver results that look quite professional.  

Knotless Braid

Think comfort and finesse.

Instead of starting with a knot at the base, the braiding hair is fed into your natural hair for a more natural, seamless look.

How to Install:

1. You want to part your hair and apply edge control to the roots.
2. Then start braiding your natural hair as you normally would.
3. After the first few loops, feed in small pieces of bulk human braiding hair.
4. Continue adding hair as you braid, but make sure to keep the tension even for a smooth finish.

Knotless braids are lightweight, gentle on your scalp, and perfect for long-term protective styling.

Senegalese Twists

These rope-like twists are beautiful protective styles that are perfect for creating an elegant, polished look.

How to Install:

1. Part your hair in portions as you normally would, then divide a small section into two equal parts.
2. Take a piece of bulk human braiding hair and fold it in half.
3. Twist the braiding hair around your natural hair, then twist the two sections together.
4. Keep twisting until you reach the end
5. Carry out the same steps until you're done braiding all the portions.
6. Deep the finished braids in hot water.

Pro Tip: Use curly human hair for the ends to add extra flair.

Faux Locs

No one wants the inconvenience of rushing to the saloon every now and then; that is why we have faux locs come to the rescue. 

Faux locs are perfect for bold babes who want the look of locs without the long-term commitment.

How to Install:

1. Start by braiding your natural hair into individual plaits or twists.
2. Then, take a piece of bulk human braiding hair and wrap it around the braid, starting at the root.
3. You want to continue wrapping until the entire braid is covered.
4. Then seal the ends with a lighter or hot water.

Faux locs are edgy, versatile, and make a major statement. You might want to pair them with beads or cuffs for a goddess vibe.

Finishing Touches

Once your braids are installed, it makes sense to polish the look.

I've put together three things you can do to jazz up your cute braids. 

1. Use edge control to smooth down any flyaways and define your parts.
2. Dip the ends in hot water for a sleek finish. This also helps set twists and braids.
3. Accessorize!!! Beads, rings, and cuffs are the perfect way to personalize your style and make it pop.

Follow these killer tips to keep them pretty.

2. Spritz your scalp with a mix of water and a leave-in conditioner to keep it hydrated.
