Sectioning is crucial for the braids hairstyle. Dividing into a consistent amount and the right size is necessary to achieve the perfect hairstyle.

   If your hair is short, it’s better to take smaller sections.
2. Braiding:
   Divide the hair in each section into three parts and braid them using a three-strand braid.
3. Extensions:
   If your hair is short and needs extensions, use Kanekalon yarn for the extensions.
