Instructions

1. Brush the hair straight out with a large paddle brush until you feel no resistance or tangles. Start brushing the hair and extensions in a sweeping motion from the right to the left around the back base of the head. This should be pretty much at the nape of the neck.

2. Brush the extensions around, keeping them in a group. Brush them to the left side of the head. Use the brush to sweep them up from the left ear to the left temple. Do this until they are curving over the top of the hairline back to the other side.

3. Brush the hair over the top of the head until it's smooth and completely untangled. Get it as smooth as you possibly can to create a polished look.

4. Apply a weightless anti-frizz or smoothing product to add smoothness and shine without weighing the hair extensions down.

5. Wrap saran wrap around this smoothed coiled hair about five or six times, then secure it with clips. This helps add shine, and it makes the hair retain the style and position. Put the hair under a dryer for around fifteen minutes.

6. Remove the saran wrap after the heating process is done. Take the hair down. Use a finishing product to smooth flyaway hair and add shine.

7. Use the paddle brush to comb the hair into the style you desire. It will look very smooth, professional and finished upon completion.
