Show Steps
1 Complete the pre-application process and design your placement plan. Make sure the hair is totally dry and free of conditioner. Begin the application in nape area and work upward in a bricklay pattern. Section the client’s natural hair to create clean horizontal partings. Be sure the partings form a perfect line in order to properly place the extension.

2 Remove the tape backing from the center section of the extension and place the extension ¼-inch below the parted section.

3 Press gently by gliding your thumbs in an inward-out motion across the attachment. Be sure to do this only one time and only use 30% pressure when gliding your thumbs across. Picking up too much hair will fail to create a maximum bond and may cause premature release of the extension.

4 Flip hair up and over the top of the part line. Make sure that just the right amount of hair has been secured to the adhesive section. Picking up too much hair will reduce the bonding effect. Remove all excess or stray hair from the adhesive site, as any stray hair caught in the adhesive can cause pulling and discomfort.

Return hair extension to its natural hair flow position and press firmly by gliding your thumbs in an inward-out motion across the extension’s attachment. It is imperative that the wing is perfectly aligned to the top adhesive section.
