  • Hair extensions clamp(optional)  
Tape Ins apply

Step 1: Prepare Your Hair  

Prepare hair and Tape ins
  • Wash and dry your hair: Avoid using heavy conditioners or oils, as they can interfere with the adhesive.
  • Brush your hair: Remove any tangles to ensure a smooth application process.  
  • Section your hair: Use a tail comb to create a horizontal parting at the nape of your neck. Clip the rest of your hair out of the way.  

Step 2: Prepare the Extensions  

  • Remove the backing: Peel off the protective backing from the tape tabs on the extensions. Be careful not to touch the adhesive with your fingers, as oils can reduce its stickiness.  
  • Align the extensions: Hold the weft up to your hair to ensure it’s the right size for the section. Trim the tape if necessary.
