How to Add Beads to Hair
- 1). Select beads for your hair. Choose larger pony beads, wooden beads or pretty glass beads if you plan to bead a larger section of hair or add beads to small braids. Opt for tiny seed beads for a more delicate look with hair beading.
- 2). Brush hair well to remove knots. Plan to put beads into clean, dry hair for the best result.
- 3). Place the hair beads onto the handle of the floss threader. Arrange the beads in the order you would like them from the scalp down toward the end of the hair.
- 4). Choose a small section of hair. Gather 6 to 10 strands of hair if you are working with seed beads, or approximately a 1/4-inch section of hair or small braid for pony beads. Braid the hair if desired and secure the braid with a small amount of hair gel.
- 5). Pass the hair through the loop on the floss threader to add beads to hair. Use the threader to pull the hair through the beads. Place a small rubber band just below the beads or add a drop of glue if you are using seed beads.
