The First Thing I Look at Isn't Your Hair

When someone sits in my chair for the first time, the funny thing is...

I don't actually look at their hair first.

I look at their head.

Not because I'm judging it.

Because your head tells me a story before I even touch a comb.

I look at where your hair naturally falls.

I notice the little cowlick behind your ear.

I look at where your crown opens.

I see how your hair separates when you tuck it behind your ear.

I even notice if one side naturally grows differently from the other.

Most people have never had a hairdresser mention any of this.

But to me...

this is where every Braided Weft installation begins.

There Isn't a Perfect Placement

One of the biggest misconceptions about hair extensions is that there's one "correct" place to install a row.

There isn't.

If I copied the exact same placement from one client to the next, I'd probably disappoint half of them.

Because no two heads are the same.

Your head shape.

Your natural growth pattern.

Your hair density.

Your lifestyle.

Even the way you wear your hair every day.

All of these things influence where I place each row.

That's why every Braided Weft installation should be personalised—not copied from a template.

Because the best placement is the one that's designed for you.
