For these people who have straight hair, it is very key to realize that you will require more hair bundles than wavy or curly hair.

How To Blend Hair Extensions With Short Hair Seamlessly

Step 1: Before blending hair extensions with short hair seamlessly, you had better wash your hair with good quality shampoo and conditioner and make sure your hair is completely dry.

If you also wash your hair bundles in advance, you had better let them air dry and avoid using any hair dryer or heat tools.

In the end, you can use a wide-toothed comb to brush your natural short hair and hair bundles gently and patiently to prevent tangles or knots.

Step 2: First of all, you need to divide your hair into four equal sections, use a comb to part the hair in the middle from the forehead to the nape of the neck, and then start to make the second part of the scalp from the right ear root to the left ear root, and wiggle each of four sections of your hair and secure them with some bobby pins.

Step 3: Release the hair from the lower right corner and let it fall. Comb through the hair and gently smooth the hair, grasp a small quarter inch from a set of hair, pull out an equal amount of hair and divide it half, place a quarter of inch section between the two extensions.

Step 4: Start at the scalp, weave a natural band into extensions and weave it down about 1/8 of the length of the hair to extensions, cut 3-inch hair extensions and fold them in half, and hold the folded extension line against the bottom of the braid.

Step 5: Wrap the loose ends of the hair extension twice over the braid, insert the loose ends into the ring, tighten the two loose ends to form a tight knot at the bottom of the braid, and then use scissors to cut the excess extension cord.

Step 6: Repeat the process for the rest of the hair on the lowest right side of the scalp. Once the lower right part of the knitting is complete, please move on to the other three parts.

Step 7: Repeat the process for the rest of the hair on the lower right side of the scalp. You should weave a similar 1/4 inch of hair to keep the weave looking symmetrical. If the bottom right part of the knitting is finished, you can move to the other three parts.

Step 8: Cut or trim your hair bundles to match your natural short hair. And it is a good idea for you to give your hair the look of layers to blend hair extensions with short hair seamlessly and gain a natural look.

Step 9: Use a flat iron or curling iron to straighten or curl your hair. Your hair will look more and less different from the hair extension because of the texture of hair extensions.

If you want to get a more convenient way to add length and volume, you also can try to purchase a human hair wig, for example, lace front wigs, HD lace wigs, headband wigs, and so on.
