Hi ladies

Ok i know this is more a braided style but if i could get any help it would be great. Can anyone identify the type of hair used in these pics (ie the name of the hair french weft or watever u wanna call it blah blah)?

And also, does anyone know how the braids stay in place here?

I believe the hair is Bohyme French Refined.

Is that what you are asking?

The first one looks like a braid attachment. Some type of a deep wave texture.

The second one looks like fusion or some kind of individual method. Looks very much like bohyme french refined.

They're both braided styles. They look like pinch braids. I wore these once upon a time long ago. There are two methods for tying off the braids, thread or using a small piece of the braiding hair. (the latter is how my stylist did it)

How to Do Pinch Braid Hair Extensions

Pinch Braiding

A free excerpt from the online course: http://home.universalclass.com/i/crn/15548.htm - Adding extensions by pinch braiding is called braid fusion. Bulk hair is braided with the natural hair to hold it securely.
Basic Pinch Braiding Step-by-step

You'll need the lock of hair that you want to extend or braid around, and a portion of bulk hair for braiding. Find the halfway point of the bulk hair.

Each of the halves of bulk hair will be a strand with which you will do a three strand braid. The natural hair will be the center strand, and the bulk hair will be the two outer strands.

You will place the halfway point of the bulk hair near the root of the natural hair.

Then cross one side of the bulk hair over the other. (You will do this more tightly in real life than it looks in this diagram, but be mindful of braid tension when you do.)

Then, since it was is middle strand, you'll cross the natural hair between the two strands of bulk hair, and continue braiding normally.

When you begin to run out of natural hair, you will need to make sure you'll still have three strands with which to continue the braid.
To do this, you will take some hair from one of the strands with bulk hair, and add it to what is left of the strand of natural hair.

Then continue braiding normally.
