Casual full braid with Zascha clip-in extensions
Do you usually wear your hair down with clip-in extensions? And would you like to wear it differently for a change? Every two weeks? we'll give you inspiration and tips for a beautiful braid or bun. We'll start with the most common and simplest one, a casual basic 3-strand braid. We love this one!
- Brush your hair thoroughly and make sure it's frizz-free. Do this by pre-treating your hair with a flat iron or curling iron.
- Distribute the clip-in extensions in your hair (see here: Clip-in Guide) Important! When you're going to braid your hair, it's important that the clip-in extensions are not too close to your hairline (contours). Make sure you have enough of your own hair to cover the extension clips.

- This braid starts at your neck. You can braid it straight back or diagonally to the side. We're big fans of the latter! Divide your hair (at your neck) into three even strands.
- Since you're wearing clip-in extensions, don't pull your braid too tight.
- Take the right strand with your right hand and the left strand with your left hand. Keep your thumb on the middle strand. Start with the right strand and cross it over the middle one. Keep your thumb firmly on the middle strand. Then cross the left strand over the middle strand. Then take the right strand over the middle again and continue braiding until you reach the end of the hair. Leave about 4 to 5 cm of unbraided hair.
This is a basic technique used for various types of braids.
- At the end of the braid, you can secure your hair with a hair tie (by the way, don't use a rubber band. This is bad for your hair!).
- To make your braid with Zascha hair extensions look casual, you can gently pull on the braided strands. This will make your braid a bit looser, thicker, and more beautiful. Do this on each braided section so that it loosens evenly.
- Voilà! You’ve created the perfect braid! Fix your full braid with hairspray or setting spray.
Good luck ladies!
