Absolutely! Adding clip-in extensions before braiding gives you the thickness and length needed for a fuller, more dramatic look that lasts all day.
You can wear them for 1-3 days before your wedding for a lived-in, softer look, or braid fresh the morning of for crisp, defined edges.
Yes! Position your veil just below the crown or at mid-head so it doesn't flatten the braids, and use a sturdy comb to secure it between braid rows.
Prepping with a good leave-in conditioner and braiding on slightly damp or stretched hair helps any texture hold beautifully. A light gel at the roots adds extra grip.
