How to put hair extensions in properly

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Hair extensions the length you want
  • Scissors
  • Bonding glue
  • Glue remover
  • Tons of plastic clips
  • A brush
  1. Step 1

    Buy the extensions at the desired length.
    Make sure your hair is clean!
    Start from the bottom in the back.
    Clip up all the extra hair.

  2. Step 2

    Make sure there's a clean straight line where your hair is up!
    Cut your extension to fit the length of that line.
    Apply just enough glue to the strip of extension, NOT TOO MUCH or it will matte your hair!
    Then apply it directly on the top of the hair on that line.
    Then work your way up and around.
    You may need to cut some places to make it all match up!

  3. Step 3

    To get all that glue out with out ripping your hair out!
    Go to your local beauty store and buy extension glue remover!
    Don't be shy! Use a lot of it, work the glue and glue remover between your fingers for a while and gently comb the glue out starting from the bottom working your way up. It may take a while but it's better than jerking your hair out.

on 6/27/2009 Oh yes... there is a very effective hair glue remover on the market now. This product is specifically designed to SAVE your hair and safely remove the hair glue. Its called the TAKE DOWN Remover. www.takedownproducts.com

We really have to be careful when removing hair extensions-it is a very serious issue. So many women are damaging their hair and experiencing severe hair thinning after removing extensions.

In fact improper hair extension removal can cause balding and alopecia.
