How To Use the Pole Method for Hair Weaving
One of the most popular ways to change a hairstyle is to use hair extensions.
This allows a person to change hairstyles without using a full wig, add length
and fullness to thin and fine hair, or just to add highlights and color to
sections of hair without using chemicals. The pole method is just one of the
various hair weaving methods to add hair extensions. Here are the steps when you
want to use the pole method for hair weaving.
1. You will need a hair weaving machine for this method. The
machine will hold three spools of thread needed to make the weft. Silk threads
are ideal because of its fineness and inherent strength. The threads should be
the same color as your current hair color. 2. Position the client,
who should be seated on a swivel chair at a ninety-degree angle to the hair
weaving machine which is placed to the right of the person having her hair
done. Pull the three strands towards the person and while holding the
strands with your hand, lock the threads with the tension locks when the tension
is similar to guitar strings. 3. Part the hair horizontally, just
above the ear of the client and pin the rest of the hair on top of her
head. Comb the rest of the hair below the pile until it is smooth.
Spray the base of the hair with a bit of hair spray to control flyaway and make
it easier to hold the hair. Take a few strands of hair a few centimeters behind
the left temple and attach the three strands of silk threads as close to the
roots as possible. Hold the strands of hair with your left hand and place this
between the first and second threads. Start weaving by putting the strands over
the second thread, then over the third thread. Bring the strand over thread
three, under thread two and under thread one. Push the threads as close to the
roots as you can get without causing pain to the scalp. Repeat the process one
more time so you can advance towards the rest of the hair. 4. Part
the first clump of hair and divide it into two. Pick up a few more
strands to the right of the first one and start the weaving process once again
to create the weft and work around towards the other side. 5. Cut the
threads with a few inches trailing and loop them around the last clump of hair
and knot the ends around the hair to secure. 6. Thread a
curved needle with thread that is the same color as your hair. Make the
thread ends even and make a knot. Push the needle to the end of the weft that
you have made, starting from the back and out to the front. Push the needle
between the two strands of thread to make a knot and push it close to the
weft. 7. Get the hair extension and push the needle into the right
corner of its weft. Push it against the weft on the head and insert the
needle under the base weft and out the top. Push the needle between the loop
just created to make a knot close to the base and repeat to make another knot to
secure the edge of the hair extension. 8. Sew the hair extension to
the base weft, knotting every stitch you make to ensure that the hair extension
will be as secure and as flat to the head as possible.
You can make as many wefts as possible using the pole method to achieve the
thickness of hair that your client wants. Make sure that you make the distance
between wefts even to achieve a more natural fall of hair. Other people are
