Step 1 – Section Your Hair
Part your hair horizontally just above your ears, clipping the top section away.
Divide the bottom section into horizontal rows (1-2 cm thick) using a rat-tail comb.
Step 2 – Apply the Extensions
Peel off the protective film from one side of the tape tab on an extension weft.
Take a thin subsection of natural hair (matching the width of the extension).
Too thick = bulky / too thin = weak hold.
Position the extension:
- Place the hair extension 1-1.5 cm below the roots (never directly on the scalp).
- ‘’Sandwich’’ the natural hair between the two adhesive sides. Press firmly for 5-8 seconds to activate the adhesive.
- Repeat for each subsection, working upward row by row.
Step 3 – Seal the Tapes
Set a flat iron to low heat (120-150°C / 250-300°F).
Gently clamp the tape area for 3-5 seconds.
Avoid overheating to prevent adhesive damage.
Step 4 – Blend and Style
Release all clipped sections and comb through hair gently.
Trim or layer the extensions if needed to match your natural hair.
Style as desired, avoiding direct heat on the tapes.
Key Tips for Success ✅
Symmetry is key: Mirror placement on both sides of the head.
Avoid roots: Tapes too close to the scalp cause discomfort and slippage.
Clean as you go: Use rubbing alcohol to wipe stray adhesive.
Start small: Begin with fewer extensions and add more if needed.
Common Mistakes to Avoid ❌
Installing on dirty or damp hair.
Overlapping tape wefts.
Using heavy conditioners near the adhesive.
Tugging extensions while brushing.
Practice makes perfect! If you’re nervous, try installing 1-2 pieces first or book a session with a stylist for guidance. May your locks be forever luscious! 🥰
