This video was uploaded from an Android phone. I used hair to fill the bump in and used a ponytail holder to close and hold it in.

Getting Hair Extensions - Step 2 of 6
Step 2 - Find out about all the different hair extensions methods.
Hair extensions have been around since ancient times. In one way or another, people have been adding to or extending their hair for hundreds of years. Many of the methods used to attach the hair have been transformed and improved over the years. Many of today's methods are much faster and can cause less damage to the natural hair.
For any hair extension method, you will need either human or synthetic hair extensions. These come in various forms and the quality can vary greatly. For additional info on the hair used, refer to our online detailed coverage of Step 2 to getting hair extensions at http://www.hairresources.net
The basic ways to attach hair extensions are: bonding, fusion, weaving, braiding + sewn in, locs, links, tubes, braiding and tape.
Bonding: This is the quickest method. A bonding glue is applied onto the weft of the extension hair and then applied at the root of your hair. This is a temporary method.
Fusion: This is a process done strand by strand in small sections. Various types of adhesive based material is used to add the extension hair directly to your own hair. Many celebrities have this type of hair extension since it looks like the extension hair grew out of your own head.
Weaving: Corn rows or tracks are created around the head and close to the scalp. Extension hair, or wefts of hair are sewn on the tracks. Your own hair lays over the tracks for a natural look.
Braiding: Similar to weaving above, tiny braids are created close to the scalp and the extension hair is sewn directly into the braids.
Locs, Links: Tiny locs or links are used to hold the extension hair to strands of your natural hair
Tubes: Uses tiny little plastic tubes that 'shrink-wrapped' the extension hair into your own natural hair.
Tape: Various kinds of special tape can be used to attach hair extensions
This concludes Step 2 to getting hair extensions. Understand the methods used to attach hair extensions and the different types of hair that is used.

The Micro Braids
The unique style of weaving hair strands into narrow braids in by small stands is called Micro braids and is a very commonly used hair do. It is a method that is time consuming to do and the end result is normally a bunch of individual braids.
Even though the micro braids are very beautiful and delicate to look at, they are not really suited to weak or brittle hair. That is why you should take care not to damage your hair by making sure that it is in the best condition before going for the micro braids.
You need to just wash your hair well and use a suitable conditioner before going for the micro braids. Another thing is to use hot oil treatment especially if you have kind of dry hair.
This style of braiding is best when done on shoulder length hair because the hair that is longer than that can cause some problems of stress to the roots as well as spending unnecessary time to do. Of course the same can be said of shorter hair because the braids would not weave properly or hold firmly in order to sit naturally.
Those who do it using mid-length hair are usually left with the option of holding the bunch of braided strands into a ponytail. Most people in fact prefer then to make intricate weaving of groups of micro braids together which gives them a more personalized style.
With beads added to the ends of the braids, or even the art of using colored threads to make a beautiful addition; there are usually very unique attractive patterns that can easily be used to change your looks.
Micro braids create very rich combination of styles that are so versatile and allows one to keep changing their looks from time to time with ease. It is also very simple for a person to just choose an individual style which is quite unique.
That is why just for a simple change of hairstyle that catches the eye with its intricate weaving and beauty; look no further. It is also easy for you to use micro braids to attract attention almost like that of a hip-hop star.

How to Keep Your Natural Hair Healthy Through Hair Braiding
I have customers tell me all the time, due to hair braiding, extensions, color, relaxers, and perms, they don't even remember what their natural hair looks like! However, just because you keep your hair done all the time doesn't mean you can neglect the health of your natural hair. You will regret it if you put off daily hair care techniques!
It Starts With Your Diet
This may seem counterintuitive, but a healthy body carries over to healthy, natural hair. Lots of different vitamins and minerals that you ingest through food and beverages will show up in the texture and vitality of your natural hair. Anything that contains Omega-3 oils (found most notably in fish) is helpful to preventing a dry scalp. Anything with protein, which also includes fish and other meats, is going to be healthy. Choose foods that are rich in vitamins (particularly C and E), iron, bioflavonoids and calcium. And remember-most importantly, drink lots and lots of water! Overworking your hair, whether it be by hair braiding or hair weaving, will cause it to be dry and dehydrated.
Take Care of Your Scalp!
One very simple way to take care of your hair is to massage your scalp while you are washing your hair (Be sure to use your finger tips and not your nails). This helps to stimulate hair growth and gets rid of dead skin cells that accumulate on your scalp between washes, not to mention the gross stuff that shows up from everyday work and play. Also, it feels great! Conditioning is also very important to make sure that your scalp does not dry out, which also contributes to the presence of dead skin cells.
Cleanliness
You must keep the hair clean and free of dirt and oils. When dirt accumulates on the hair, it clogs the pores and slows down the growth of the hair. Your hair should be washed at least every 4 to 5 days. If you're wearing braids or a weave, you can use an astringent to cleanse the scalp. Always remember to follow up with a good quality conditioner.
Extra Tips
To go the extra mile in keeping your hair healthy, oil your scalp with different combinations of oils. A really good mix for those with hair braiding and hair weaving is coconut oil which reduces fungal growth.
Remember, no matter what level of commitment you strive toward to keep your hair beautiful, know that the way you treat your hair is only a reflection of your inner beauty. When your natural hair is healthy, you will feel better about yourself inside and out, and it will make any kind of hair braiding, hair weaving, extensions, or coloring easier and healthier.
