First, lay the closure over your braids and line it up with the hairline. This way you will know how much of the extra lace need to cut off. Then use hair clips to pin the lace closure in place before you sew it down.
Next, cut off the extra lace, careful not to cut too close to the hair line. Then tease some of your own baby hairs and push them just in front of the lace closure. Then proceed to sew my closure to the braids.
Make sure you sew the closure down tight and flat. If it’s loose it won’t look right. Always check and make sure the closure isn’t twisting out of place while you are sewing it down.
Finally make finishing touches that help the closure blend better. First color the front lace near the hairline with black eyeliner. Then apply foundation or concealer to the lace in the parting. Then bring it down past the lace and blend right at your hairline. Then use edge control to ‘part’ my baby hairs. This extends the part from the closure to your own hairline.
