How to Put Hair Extensions in

Hair extensions can be a great way to add length to your hair and give you more options for styling. This can be useful for a formal event such as a prom or “black tie” dinner. Adding your own hair extensions can be complicated as well as messy. The extensions will also be very noticeable if they’re not added correctly. Once you know the proper technique, though, you can add hair extensions without a great deal of stress.

 

Instructions:

1. Before starting, create a plan as to where the extensions should be placed in order to have a realistic look.

2. Use the tail comb to create a straight line in your hair, starting underneath and working your way up. Clip the excess hair out of the way.

3. Cut the extension to fit the line that you have created on your head. Spread a thin layer of glue on the top of the extension.

4. Press the glue directly onto your scalp.

5. Set your hair dryer to cool and point the nozzle directly where the extension is glued. Dry the glue with the cool air for about 30 seconds while pressing the extension to your head. If you let go of the extension, it may slip out of position or fall out completely.

6. Let down some of your clipped hair and create another clean line to place the next extension.

7. Continue until you have added all of the hair extensions.
