Hair extensions connector
Sectioning clips
A comb
Heat protectant spray
Steps
1. Prepare Your Hair
Start by washing and drying your hair thoroughly. Once your hair is clean, section it off into manageable parts using sectioning clips. Typically, you should work in small sections at the nape of the neck first and then move upwards.
2. Sectioning Your Hair
When you are ready to install the first set of extensions, create a horizontal parting with a comb. It is recommended that the section be about 1 inch wide and thin enough to allow for proper placement of beads without causing a bulky appearance.
3. Heat Up the Fusion Tool
Plug in and heat up the hair extensions connector to the recommended temperature for the specific keratin extensions you are using. This step is crucial as using incorrect temperatures can damage both the extensions and your natural hair.
4. Apply the Keratin Flat Bond
Take a small section of your natural hair, about 1 inch wide, and position a keratin bond approximately 1 cm from your scalp. Use the heated fusion tool to melt the bond until it becomes pliable. Once melted, roll it between your fingers to fuse it evenly with your natural hair.
5. Repeat Process
Continue this process by moving up towards the crown of your head, repeating steps 3 through 4 until all desired extensions are installed.
6. Blend and Style
Once all extensions are installed, use a comb or brush to blend them with your natural hair. You may want to trim any uneven ends for a more cohesive look. Finally, style as desired!
Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner when you do wash your hair, as these products help maintain the integrity of the keratin bonds. Be gentle when brushing or styling, avoiding excessive heat on bonded areas. Following these steps will help ensure that your flat tip hair extensions are installed correctly and look beautiful.
