How to Add Hair Extensions

These are instructions on how to glue in hair extensions.

Things You'll Need

• Bonding glue (found at Sally's Beauty Supply)
• pack of hair (human is preferred over synthetic for longer lasting results)
• comb
• blow dryer

Instructions

1. Hair extensions come in a long train of hair connected at the top by a seam, often called 'tracks'. You will need to hold up a section of this to your head so you can cut off an amount according to the length of your head.

2. Part a section in the middle of the back of your head and clip your hair up.

3. Take the bonding glue and apply it to the 'seam' of the weave with the end of the come making a straight line be careful no to have the glue running.

4. Push the extension directly on your SCALP! Do not glue to your above hair or it will pull your hair out when the times comes to remove the extensions.

5. Push down firmly all around head and take out a blow dryer and blow it on high on the extension for 45 seconds from side to side.

6. Repeat steps 1-5 directly on top of first section of your extensions if you want to make the extensions thicker or layer them. Or you can put in extra layers in between layers of your own hair.

Tips & Warnings

• when adding hair extension you must strategically place them under a layer or your hair to hide the seam.

• If you just want to put a bang in do not go against your natural part or you will have trouble covering up seam.

• Teasing your own hair is a good way to hide the extensions.

• Make sure your own hair is combed out, clean, and completely dry before adding extensions.

• Let your extensions dry natural when washing them blow dryers make hair look frizzy fast and they loose their sheen.

• use hot styling products with ceramic plates; metal hair straighteners will make your hair look horrible.

• Never get glue in the hair. If you do immediately go to the beauty supply (such as Sally's) and pick up some hair bond removing lotion. Let it sit on the hair and gently work it out with you hands into it beads up. You can also use bond remover oil or coconut oil to work out of hair. If it looks like it is pulling too much hair out still go to a professional. Glue is very hard to get out when it dries so try to shampoo out before it dries.
