How to Install Tape Hair Extensions

Post by zystal » Sat Aug 01, 2009 3:16 pm

1. Wash hair with a deep clean shampoo (NO CONDITIONER IS TO BE APPLIED TO THE HAIR)

2. Dry hair until completely dry making sure root area has no moisture or residue

3. Section clients hair from ear to ear

Section the nape area below the ear around an inch in thickness all the way round.

4.Starting at the middle of the nape, take a section no wider than the tape you are going to apply and no thicker that the tape hair piece.

5. Before peeling off the tape Press firmly on the tape and back of hair piece from middle outwards

6. Now peel of the tape from one of the corners with fingers or tweezers

7. Place the piece underneath the section of hair, press clients hair down at the root area to the tape area apply small amount of liquid adhesive if required and then place the next piece on top sandwiching the clients hair between the two tapes by pressing firmly in the middle outwards.

8. Complete your 1st row making sure you do not go to close to the hair line otherwise the tape will stick out and not lay flat.

9. Section your second row by making sure you leave half to an inch section of hair in between, This will depend on the thickness of the clients hair.

10.When applying the tape hair start just off centre as this will creat a brick form.

11.The third row section will be taken from front area about half an inch above the ear across the head to the other side of the ear.

Start again in the middle area working your way across the head.

12. The fourth row section follow the same as no 11 instructions when applying this row you will start again just off centre to create a brick form application.

13.The fifth row you leave half inch section between the last row.

DEPENDING ON HOW SHORT THE CLIENTS HAIR IS YOU MAY TAKE ANOTHER SECTION ACROSS FROM FRONT OF THE EAR AND REPEAT NO 11 OR YOU WILL COMPLETE THE LAST ROW FROM BEHIND EAR SECTION.

Congratulations, you've installed hair extensions in a fraction of the time :D

Tips for bonding tape installation, courtesy of Doc Locks:

1. Apply to clean, dry hair.
2. Be gentle with the tape for the first day, as they will take 24 hours to ''cure.''
3. NEVER leave the extensions in for longer than a week at a time - if you do, the tape will become more difficult to remove and may leave a residue on your hair.
4. Wait at least 24 hours after application to shampoo.
5. Use a gentle shampoo and never scrub or agitate the extension area. Do not put conditioner near the tape area.
6. Smaller pieces may slip. Carry extra tape with you -just in case.
7. Use a towel to absorb extra water -gently.
8. Blowdry the root area first on a cool setting so that the extension area is dry while you style your hair.
