Step 1
Create a clean section, according to section 1 diagram (see weft diagram). Use a friend or a second mirror to ensure an even part.

Step 2
Peel off one entire side of tape backing. Apply weft just below the section and press in to secure.TIP:Peel a portion of the other side before placing it on your head.
-
Step 3
Peel off top portion of the tape backing. Remove section clips and allow hair to fall evenly over the exposed tape

Step 4
Press across the entire weft to ensure the weft is sandwiched between your natural hair.
-
Step 5
Create a new section, according to section 2 diagram (see weft diagram). This should be 1-2 finger widths above the previous weft.

Step 6
Repeat steps 3 & 4 for remaining wefts, referring to the diagram for sectioning and placements.

REMOVAL & MAINTENANCE
Spray isopropyl alcohol directly on the top and bottom of each tape bond. Allow to set in for a minute or so. Rub your fingers over the tape to disrupt the bond. Slowly wiggle the extension loose.
You will see loose hairs in your extensions due to natural shedding of 50-100 hairs per day. It’s normal! Typically, these hairs would fall but when we wear extensions, these hairs stay in the extensions until we remove them.
**Unfortunately, due to shipping restrictions, isopropyl alcohol/rubbing alcohol is not included in the kit. You will need to purchase this, and a travel size spray bottle, separately.
