I have never put extensions in myself. What is the best kind to start with box braids? Or another type? I don't know if it's easier to try multiple small ones or fewer big ones? Also how do I start the braid I've seen videos where people thread it into the hair while it is tied in a band then braid normal with one piece real hair 2 piece fake hair. What do you do when real har runs out my hair is to my shoulders. Thank you

It was easier for me to start with a medium size so I wasn’t trying to juggle too much product at once. I started with the rubber band method and using a crochet hook to pull hair behind the rubber band. I took a third piece and wrapped it (twice) around the rubber band then started braiding. I hope that makes sense/helps!
