Thanks ya'll,

But I'm still confused about something...
if you cut the hair off the weft, crochet it through braid and then tie the hair in a knot  in place, 
how do you keep the hair strands aligned so that i doesnt start tangling?

I'm assuming you can't tie the two ends together (like tying a shoe) because who would end up with cuticles doing in opposite directions... 

I see how you could do this will hair w/o cuticles, but what if the cuticles are intact? how would you secure the hair? would it be like ventilating a closure?
There are different ways of doing it. Think micro pinch braids or ventilating a wig. There has to be a small fold over like with ventilating, that will keep the cuticles from rubbing causing tangling. You cut off any over lapping hair. Some use nail glue to seal the knot.

I used spirit gum because I am and DIY and afraid of getting nail glue on my hair. 

Did you do it on hair that was exposed from the braid or your leaveout? Which technique did you use?

I did it on the hair exposed from the braid. I used a micro crochet needle, the same one that you would use for micro-links. After I pulled it through I tightened it and added a dab of spirit gum to seal it. I've also done a similar method with a weaving net. It was much easier to remove.
