Gather the Necessary Tools
Duck Clips
Rat Tail Comb
Extension Wefts
Step 1: Practice Opening and Closing the Clip
With the clip side of the piece facing you, put both thumbs on each side of the clip and the index fingers at the front side of the piece. Snap the clip open by applying pressure toward yourself with the index fingers. Similarly, close the clip by applying pressure away from yourself with the thumbs.
Step 2: Practice Snapping on Hair
Using one of the 1.5" side pieces, practice attaching and removing the extension piece.
Step 3: Separating the Hair
Using a tail comb or your index fingers, practice parting the hair where you wish to attach the first extension.
Step 4: Start the First Part
The clip-in extensions should be attached from the bottom up. Starting at the lowest point on the hairline, and using the tail comb or your index fingers, create a part where you wish to section off the hair.
Step 5: Finishing the First Part
Move the tail comb or your index fingers under the hair and along the scalp until the hair is separated from the right to the left hairline.
Step 6: Clip Up the Hair Above the Part
Lift up all the hair above the part and clip it out of the way.
Step 7: Prepare the First Weft
Select one of the wider "back" wefts (if working with a complete kit, use the 6" width weft) and snap open all the clips.
Step 8: Placement of the First Weft
The clips should be placed on your own hair below the part so that that top of the weft is even with the part.
Step 9: Placement of the First Clip
The middle clip should be placed first by locating at the middle of the nape. Place the clip on your own hair just below the part. Moving the clip downward, catch your own hair in the clip and snap it shut.
Step 10: Placement of the Second Clip
The right clip is next. Holding the middle clip in place with your left hand, use your right hand to move the right edge of the weft as far as it will go around your head. As above, place the clip on your hair just below the part, and moving the clip downward, catch your hair in the clip and snap it shut.
Step 11: Placement of the Third Clip
Finally, to attach the left clip, hold the middle clip in place with your right hand, and use your left hand to move the left edge of the weft as far as it will go around your head. As in the previous two steps, place the clip on your hair just below the part, and moving the clip downward, catch you hair in the clip and snap it shut.
Step 12: Check for Gaps
Now that all three clips are attached, run your fingers along the weft to make sure it lies flat against your head along the entire width. If there are any gaps, correct this by snapping the clip open, lifting it off your hair and repositioning it so that the weft lies flat.
Step 13: Preparing to Place the Second Weft
This weft will be placed above the first weft. Release all the hair that was clipped out of the way in step six. Then, slightly above the weft that was just attached, make another part - as explained in steps 4 through 6.
Step 14: Placing the Second Weft
Repeating steps 7-12, attach the next weft. To complete a style, follow steps 4-12 for each weft attached. (When working with a complete kit, start at the lowest point with the two 6" wefts, then attach the 7" weft, and finally the 8" weft.)
Step 15: Placement of the side Wefts
The four 1.5" wefts are meant to be attached to the sides of your head. Using two for each side, attach the forst one just above the ear and the second one around the temple area.
Step 16: Removing the Wefts
To remove a weft, snap open all the clips and gently lift up and away from your hair.
Remember
Never try to remove a weft without first opening all the clips. Pulling or tugging to remove a weft can result in damage to your own hair.
Cleaning the Human Hair
Tip
Caring for your new hair product is easy, and you should treat your new product as an investment that you want to keep looking new and fresh for as long as possible. The correct care and maintenance will allow you to continue using the product with the best results for the longest amount of time. So, use the following instructions as a gauge for determining how and when you should wash and care for your products. And, know that you can always call 1-800-581-8206 and speak to a licensed cosmetologist for answers to all your questions.
Just like your own hair, human hair will accumulate residue through normal wear. However, you do not need to wash the hair everyday to keep consistent results. The hair should be washed as infrequently as possible or when you notice that the hair appears dull or acquires an odor. If you are wearing the hair all day, every day, you can wash them after 3-4 wearings.
Before shampooing, gently remove any tangles. If hair is excessively tangled, a spray on conditioner should be used.
Always use a mild shampoo or one specifically formulated for chemically treated hair.
Run the hair under warm water and after placing a small amount of shampoo on your fingers, gently work the shampoo into the hair, stroking downwards from the weft base to the ends. Do not twist, scrub or rub the hair. Use the shampoo sparingly.
When clean, rinse thoroughly under warm running water until the water runs clear. Be sure to rinse until all shampoo is removed, as improper rinsing could result in damage.
Just like your own hair, human hair extensions need to be conditioned after shampooing to maintain a healthy shine and promote styling ease.
Place a small amount of conditioner in your hand. Gently work into the hair and let sit for three to five minutes.
Rinse thoroughly in warm water.
Gently towel blot to remove excess water.
Tip
After you have finished washing and towel blotting (drying) the hair, spray the hair with a leave-in conditioner before beginning to comb the hair. Starting at the ends, grasp the hair above the area you are combing and hold the hair firmly while moving a large toothed comb down from your grip towards the ends. When you have combed out all the tangles from the hair you are holding, release your grip and grab the hair closer to the top. Continue to comb the hair below your grip. Continue this method until all the hair is tangle-free. The key is to treat your hair as if it is on the head of a "Tender-Headed" person. By doing this, you create the least amount of tension that may result in hair breaking or pulling from the weft.
While wet, gently comb the hair to remove tangles. Using a large toothed comb, move in a downward motion away from the clips and to the ends. Do not use a bristle brush on wet hair as it may pull out or break the hair.
Hang to air dry, set in rollers, or use a blow dryer on a low setting, as desired.
If the hair is excessively dry, a "professional" conditioner may be necessary. Consult your stylist about this.
Styling the Hair
Steam rollers and/or wet setting are the safest way to curl your human hair.
Blow dryers, curling irons and other thermal tools may be used on low settings. Remember, the hair may scorch if the setting is too high.
If you choose to use electric rollers, always make sure that the ends are wrapped into the rollers to avoid "fishhooks".
For cutting, or any chemical processes such as perming or coloring, take the extensions to a professional stylist.
Remember
Unlike your hair, this hair does not grow back if you cut it. So, remember to always take your new hair to a salon professional if you need it customized. This will give you the best results!
Storing the Hair
It is best to store the human hair in it's original container. However, you can store the hair in a plastic bag.
To keep the desired curl pattern, you may want to set the hair on rollers that conform to the curl size you wish to maintain before storing in plastic.
Do not sleep or swim while wearing the human hair.

Customer Reviews
Author: Lisa Anderson It was a easy, great & fast purchase and shipment. I thought the amount for the human hair extension was a bit overpriced. But, when I recieved the product and saw how many pieces I have and saw the quality on the extensions, I realized I made a great purchase.
