How to ask your stylist for this style
Go to a professional braider who specializes in stitch braids. Ask for "feed-in stitch braids" and show them the ombre braiding hair you want (colors 4, 27, 33).
Tools:
Choosing Products
A moisturizing scalp oil with jojoba and peppermint; a gentle edge control with flaxseed; braiding hair extensions.
Step by step instructions to achieve style at home
This is a professional protective style and cannot be done at home.
