Installation Guides

Wash with a clarifying shampoo and dry completely. Skip conditioner at the roots, and skip oils and serums entirely. Tape only bonds to hair that is clean, dry, and product-free.

Take a clean horizontal section at the nape with a fine-tooth comb and clip the rest up. Keep each section about the width of the weft and no thicker than the tape itself.

Peel the backing and set one weft under the section, about two fingers down from the scalp. That small gap keeps the bond flexible and comfortable.

Line up a second weft directly on top so your hair sits neatly between the two tabs. Press firmly along the whole strip so the bond seals edge to edge.

Repeat row by row in a brick-layer pattern, keeping two fingers clear of the front hairline. Release the clipped hair, brush through, and style as usual.

Part your hair horizontally at the nape and clip everything above it out of the way. This bottom section is the base for your widest weft.

Lightly backcomb the roots of the section so the clips have something to grip. A little dry shampoo or hairspray adds texture and stops the wefts sliding.

Take the widest weft and press it against the teased roots. Snap the middle clip first, then the sides, so it sits flat and even across your head.

Work upward in sections about an inch apart, using narrower wefts toward the sides. Keep every weft below the temple line so nothing peeks through.

Let your own hair down over the wefts and brush the two together. Style as normal, and keep heat low to protect the extensions.

Start with clean, dry hair. Use a rat-tail comb to section the hair horizontally where the weft will be installed. Secure the rest with clips.

Depending on your method, create tight horizontal braids for a sew-in, install microbeads for a braidless install, or build a beaded track for hand-tied or hybrid wefts.

Measure the weft against the section. Cut only if you need to, and always seal the cut ends, especially on machine or hybrid wefts, so they do not shed.

Use a curved needle and thread to sew the weft onto the foundation - through the braid, around the beads, or into a beaded track. Knot securely every few stitches so the row holds.

Release the top layers of hair to cover the wefts. Blend, trim, and style as needed for a natural, seamless finish.

Using a comb, create a horizontal part around the crown of your head, leaving the top section of your hair loose. Clip this top section up to keep it out of the way. This will help conceal the halo wire and blend the extensions seamlessly.

Position the halo extension on your head like a headband, with the invisible wire sitting just behind the hairline and resting comfortably around the crown. The weft should lay flat against the back of your head.

Ensure the wire sits snugly but comfortably without pulling. If your halo is adjustable, tighten or loosen the wire as needed so it stays in place without slipping.

Unclip the top section of your natural hair and gently brush it over the halo extension to conceal the wire. Use your fingers or a comb to blend the hair naturally.

Once blended, style your hair however you like - straighten it, curl it, or add waves for a seamless, voluminous finish. Keep direct heat off the wire so it stays springy.

Start by sectioning the client’s hair into clean, horizontal rows, beginning at the nape of the neck. Ensure the hair is completely dry and free of oils or product buildup for maximum hold.

Use a loop tool to thread a silicone-lined bead onto a small section of natural hair. Slide the bead up close to the scalp, leaving a small gap (about ¼ inch) for natural movement.

Insert the I-Tip extension into the bead, ensuring the tip is fully enclosed within the bead. Avoid overlapping too much natural hair, as this can cause slipping.

Use a professional crimping tool to clamp the bead securely, locking the extension in place. Repeat the process row by row, maintaining even spacing for a seamless, natural blend.

Once every extension is installed, brush gently to blend them into the natural hair. Tell the client to keep oil-based products away from the beads and to book a maintenance appointment every 6 to 8 weeks as the bonds grow out.

Use a loop tool to pull small sections of natural hair through silicone-lined beads. Space them evenly along the row to prepare for weft installation and a secure hold.

Align the weft just above the row of threaded beads, making sure it lies flat against the scalp for a seamless, natural-looking result that blends with your real hair.

Use pliers to clamp each bead shut over the weft and the natural hair inside it. Work along the row with consistent pressure so every bead holds the same amount of weight.

Run your finger along the finished row. The weft band should sit flush against the beads with no gaps, and a gentle tug should not shift it. Re-crimp any bead that moves.

Repeat the same process for each new row as needed, depending on your desired density and coverage. Install additional rows to complete the full, voluminous transformation.
