Here's how I part the back of my hair I used the Outre hair - 100% Kanekalon hair. Braiding with the hair was easy once I got into the groove of doing it. I spritz the hair with plain water and then separate sections of the hair going from a small section to a large section of extension hair. For each row of cornrow, I used 4-5 sections of extension hair. Prior to cornrowing one section, I applied some Eden Bodyworks Pudding Souffle and then right at the front of the section I spritz a little Just Water and applied You Be Natural edge tamer . I started by first cornrowing my own hair, how to do that , about 4 notches and then added the smallest extension hair, and then cornrowing for about 3 notches and added the next section of extension hair. I continued this step until I was at the base
