Hair bonding glue is generally available in either white or black, so opt for white glue if your hair is light blonde to medium brown, or choose black glue if your hair is dark brown to black. Trim the extensions to the length you want. Hair extensions come in lengths ranging from 8 to 30 inches 20 to 76 cm. If you do want to cut them yourself, hold each weft up to your head at about the spot where you think it will lay, and look in the mirror to determine the length you want.
Mark this spot with your fingers, then trim them with sharp scissors. If you want to add length, your extensions should be cut longer than your natural hair.
Treat your extensions like your own hair if you color them yourself. You can color extensions made from human hair yourself, but it's best to use semi- or demi-permanent colors because they're not as damaging.
Lay them flat and apply the hair color, attempting to match the color to the ends of your hair, rather than the roots. If you want your extensions to look really believable, take them to your hair stylist and have them cut and colored professionally. Do not attempt to dye synthetic hair extensions, as they can be ruined. Wash, deep condition , and dry your hair before applying the track. In addition, your natural hair will be hidden under the extensions for as long as you have them in.
Deep conditioning your hair in advance will help your locks stay nourished and healthy. Gently detangle your hair and the extensions with a comb. If you have curly hair, it may be easier to detangle your hair before you dry it. Part 2. Section the top part of your hair and clip it up. Use a rat-tail comb to draw a line on either side of your part, from your hairline all the way back to your crown.
This should create a rectangular section of hair around your part. Pin this section up with clips or a hair tie. If you prefer a side part, the section should be off-center. Use your comb to create a U-shaped part above the nape of your neck. Start a little below one of your ears, then follow the natural contour of your head in a U-shape around to your other ear.
Leave about 2—3 in 5. Pull the hair above the part up and clip it out of the way. You should be left with a section of hair 2—3 in 5. This piece of hair will hide your extensions in the back when you pull your hair up into a ponytail. Cut the track the width of the part you just created.
Use your thumb to mark the place where your extension should end as you pull the weft away from your head. Lay the track flat on a table and apply a line of glue all the way down. The side of the track with the hair attached should be face-down. Apply the glue in small increments until the entire track is covered.
Blow dry the glue on high or medium for several seconds. This will help the glue become tacky so it will adhere to your hair. If the glue is too wet when you apply the extension, the glue will drip down the strands of hair, causing a messier application.
Some hair stylists will also apply a strong hold hairspray at this stage and then blow dry your hair. If you're using synthetic hair, make sure your blowdryer is on the cool setting. The line of the track should run slightly below the part you made near the nape of your neck. Do not apply glue on your scalp.
Blow dry the track again for another seconds. This will finish drying the glue so the extension will stay attached to your hair. To check whether the glue is dry, gently tug on the extensions. If they move, continue drying them. Draw a part 2—3 in 5. The width of your sections can vary based on how thick you want your extensions to be. Continue adding extensions this way until you reach your ears. Once your part falls above your ears, your U-shape will start near your temple, then will reach back towards your crown and circle around towards your other temple.
This wide U-shape will mimic the natural fall of your hair and should make the finished result look more natural. Place your last extension around the rectangular shape you made at the beginning of the process. Unclip the top section of hair and gently comb it down. Gently comb just along the surface of the hair to smooth it out.
Extensions need as much TLC as your own, grown hair. They too are susceptible to split ends and damage from repeated styling. So condition regularly with a detergent-free shampoo , limit the use of heat, and always use a thermal protection product before using any heat styling tools.
If — unlike certain hair-fluid reality TV stars — you want your new length to look natural and not like it magically appeared overnight, add extensions gradually so that your mane grows a bit longer and gets a bit thicker over the course of a few months. With extensions that are taped, glued, or sewn into your natural hair, your roots are already doing some heavy lifting, so tugging and yanking while styling will not only stress your scalp more than usual, it can also loosen the extensions themselves.
A high-tension blow-dry may not be the best option for straightening; rough dry with fingers — or look into how to straighten hair without heat instead.
Be sure you know how to clean a hairbrush to avoid transferring dirt or oil from the brush to your extensions. If eyewear, hats, topknots, or ponytails are a regular part of your lifestyle, let your stylist know to avoid placement of extensions too close to the ears or too low on the nape.
Unless otherwise labeled, most human hair extensions are pre-dyed. This means you can make them darker easily, but lightening them may result in damage. You could save in the long run. If synthetic hair extensions are your best option budget-wise, check the packaging for heat-styling restrictions. Never remove permanent or semi-permanent hair extensions yourself — if you had them professionally installed, have them professionally removed as well to avoid hair breakage or damage by tape or adhesives.
Hair extensions using micro rings last for months before refitting is necessary to accommodate hair growth. Other methods, including tape-in extensions and weaves, last for weeks.
In general, hair extensions should not be left in your hair for over 4 months or after 2 inches of regrowth. If you are experiencing active hair loss, hair extensions could conceal the root of the problem and cause you to delay taking actions necessary to treat it. Otherwise, the general rule is to add an amount of hair according to the density of your own hair.
Measure the width of the nape and cut one piece of the weft to fit that section click image to enlarge - enlarge it twice by clicking the expansion box top right of the enlarged image.
Sewing two wefts together will give you one thicker twice as thick weft but it will also add weight; it may be better to glue wefts closer together instead of doubling up hair wefts. Follow the directions for the brand of glue you are using. Apply the glue all along the top of the weft — where the stitching is located. Wait for a few seconds for the glue to become tacky to the touch. Place the weft against the sectioned hair and press firmly. You can use a cool setting from a hair dryer to make the glue dry more quickly.
Repeat steps 1 to 5 to attach your glue in hair extensions. This method of attaching glue in hair extensions mainly allows you to wear your hair down and back in a pony tail.
