Step 1 (Larger): Practice Opening and Closing the Clips
|
 |
 |
Tip |
| Practice opening and closing the clips before you begin. |
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 sides. 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.
 |
Remember |
| There are two pieces to this extension system, allowing you to achieve length, body and volume. However, some clients choose to wear the largest piece only as a volume enhancer. If you want to wear both pieces, attach the smaller piece first and then attach the larger piece above it. |
|
|
Step 2 (Larger): Separating the Hair
|
 |
Using a tail comb or your index fingers, practice parting the hair horizontally from one side of the head to the other. Starting about an inch above the temple on one side, part the hair around the back of the head to the other temple. |
|
Step 3 (Larger): Clip Up the Hair Above the Part
|
 |
Lift up all the hair above the part and clip it out of the way using the enclosed duck-bill clip(s). |
|
Step 4 (Larger): Prepare the Piece
|
 |
Open all the clips on the piece.
|
|
Step 5 (Larger): Placement of the First Clip
|
 |
The top middle clip should be attached first by placing it at the middle of the back of the head just below the part so that the top of the weft is even with the part when attached. Moving the clip downward, catch your hair in the clip and snap it shut. |
|
Step 6 (Larger): 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 7 (Larger): 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 your hair in the clip and snap it shut. |
|
Step 8 (Larger): Check for Gaps
|
 |
Now that the three top clips are attached, run your fingers along the top weft to make sure it lies flat against your head along the entire width. If there are any gaps, correct this by repositioning it so that the weft lies flat. |
|
Step 9 (Larger): Placement of the Fourth Clip
|
 |
Similar to attaching the top row of clips, start with the middle clip when attaching the bottom row. The bottom middle clip should be placed first by pulling down on the piece and placing the clip at the middle of the head, making sure the clip goes all the way to the scalp. The vertical stretch lace allows the piece to be pulled taut so that no gaps occur between the top and bottom of the piece. |
|
Step 10 (Larger): Placement of the Fifth Clip
|
 |
The right bottom clip is next. As in the previous step, attach the right bottom clip making sure the clip goes all the way to the scalp. |
|
Step 11 (Larger): Placement of the Sixth Clip
|
 |
The left bottom clip is next. As in the previous step, attach the left bottom clip making sure the clip goes all the way to the scalp. |
|
Step 12 (Larger): Check for Gaps
|
 |
Now that the three bottom clips are attached, run your fingers along the bottom weft to make sure it lies flat against your head along the entire width. Also, at this time, check to make sure that the piece lies flat from top to bottom. If there are any gaps, correct this by snapping the clip open, lifting it off your hair and repositioning it so that the piece lies flat in all directions. |
|
Step 13 (Larger): Finishing the Look
|
 |
Release all the hair that was clipped out of the way in Step 3 and blend it in.
To remove either piece, 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. |
|
|
Step 1 (Smaller): Separating the Hair
|
 |
The larger piece in the Extension System has been designed to use by itself. However, if you want to have even longer hair, the smaller bi-level piece can be used in conjunction with the larger piece.
 |
Remember |
| When using both pieces, the smaller one should be attached first. |
Using a tail comb or your index fingers, practice parting the hair horizontally from one side of the head to the other. Starting below the occipital bone (the curved, trapezoidal compound bone that forms the lower posterior part of the skull), and using a tail comb or your index fingers, make a part starting just behind your ear, going from ear to ear. |
|
Step 2 (Smaller): Clip Up the Hair Above the Part
|
 |
Lift up all the hair above the part and clip it out of the way. |
|
Step 3 (Smaller): Prepare the Piece
|
 |
Open all the clips on the piece. |
|
Step 4 (Smaller): Placement of the First Clip
|
 |
The top middle clip should be attached first by putting it at the middle of the nape area. Place the clip on your hair just below the part so that the top of the weft is even with the part. Moving the clip downward, catch your hair in the clip and snap it shut. |
|
Step 5 (Smaller): 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. Pull the weft taut and place the vertical side clip on your scalp, and moving the clip slightly towards the center, catch your hair in the clip and snap it shut. You may need to angle this weft up slightly on your head in order to make it taut. |
|
Step 6 (Smaller): Placement of the Third Clip
|
 |
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 step, pull the weft taut and place the vertical side clip on your scalp, and moving the clip slightly towards the center, catch your hair in the clip and snap it shut. You may need to angle this weft up slightly on your head in order to make it taut. |
|
Step 7 (Smaller): Check for Gaps
|
 |
Now that the three top clips are attached, run your fingers along the top 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 8 (Smaller): Placement of the Fourth Clip
|
 |
Located in the center of the bottom weft, this clip acts as an anchor for the piece. The bottom clip should be placed by pulling down on the piece and placing the clip near the end of your hairline at the nape, catching your hair in the clip and snapping it shut. |
|
Step 9 (Smaller): Finishing the Smaller Attachment
|
 |
Release all the hair that was clipped out of the way in Step 2 and blend in with the piece.
To remove either piece, 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. |
