How clever See that braid that goes horizontally across? That's basically a track (braided/cornrowed hair that people usually sew wefts onto and cover up). Instead, they made the track part of the style and it looks like the extension weft is attached underneath. An overbraid.
As for specific braiding technique? Looks like low pigtail style braids. One coming from each side, but instead of 3 strands, looks like only 2, to get more of a looser bohemian look. Then attached at the middle back of the head. Finished with hairspray to keep loose shorter hairs from falling out of the braid. Then can attach clip ons/wefts to hair underneath

It doesn't look to complicated to me, she must have most of the wefts lower on the sides, and lower on the back. Easy to camouflage.
Probably one short weft -maybe a double one?- on each side, probably 3-4 inches long, and I am guessing 3 to 4 wefts -or clip ins- on the back, ranging from 8 to 6 inches, my guess.
Her extensions are pretty trimmed, and the length is quite short (around 16 inches I guess), which helps make it look natural. The curls are a plus too when it comes to blending.
The color looks like a 22-24 to me.
How much hair do you have with the Jessica Simpson kit? How long are the pieces?

Hey :) - Im just so bad at styling, I have been trying to work it our for ages..
The Jessica Simpson piece is 22inch but to be honest I normally wear 14 inch bohyme clip ins and the JS hairdo falls at the same length.
I have ordered an EasyDo from Yourhairshop in 18inch and it is at the Post Office just now awaiting collection. So I am going to try it to get this look..
So If I twist the side sections from each side into a braid do I just secure them with kirby grips in the middle and how do I get my top layer to blend like hers!!..I dont know why I find this so confusing
