Dreamcatchers Hair Extension Instructional Video

Hello there i'm diana welcome to dreamcatcher's and the dream team first off lesson, one threader: this is what we call a threader now unable to put the dream catchers into the hair. We need to thread them up with a little cylinder here. Is the threader we're gon na put as many cylinders as we can and you can see on one end of the cylinder is slightly wider than the other end. We want wider end on first see: okay, color-coded cylinders, blonde, obviously for blonde hair, but only for use on peroxide, blondes bleach blondes, only those blondes that are having their hair bleached every four weeks. You would use the lightest blonde dark blonde. That'S my color copper for those ginger nuts and copper tones about an 8k. I would use a copper cylinder and then dark brown for my brunettes and black. Obviously, on black the dream. Catchers color swatch comes in 27 different colors, including the funky shades they are. This is how you would be ordering your hair for the client step, two application and fitting. So here are some dream catches that i put in earlier just to show you how the application should look. The reason i used blonde hair against brown is so it's easier for you to see if i'd have used brown hair against this, you wouldn't have seen anything so always always nice and clean straight sections and your dream catchers should sit like little regimented soldiers. All the same distance away from the scalp, they should all have movement, not too tight, not too loose as long as the hair can move. So, let's take a section, pull it down, always always clean sections, a small section, preferably a square rather than an oven. Take your thread up thread it over out and the cylinder should be take a dream: catcher pop it in your cylinder, move it down from the scalp and with your pliers squeeze one two three. So now i'm going to show you the wrong way to do it. Take a section thread it over. Take your little dreamcatcher pop it in and squeeze it tight. Okay, you see the hair for a start is far too tight to the scalp. There'S no movement whatsoever. It'S over directed from every area from all four corners. It'S been over directed this will cause traction alopecia. The hair needs to come from one direction. Only plus i can see the little tip of the dreamcatcher sticking out of there. That should be covered up, otherwise your clients can play with it. So to realign this open up your cylinder again, pull it down now, there's a little too much hair in this section for my liking. So i would have probably used half the amount here, but when putting the dream catches in be careful not to put your finger too close underneath the cylinder itself, because then, if you're going to squeeze it in this direction, you're going to cause bubbles in the hair And this doesn't feel very nice when the client runs their fingers across the top of her hair. It should all lay smooth like these ones, i've done underneath beforehand. An adjustment is when the client has had the hair fitted for four weeks, so her next appointment is going to be for an adjustment and 90 percent of the time. My client needs a color, so i'm gon na do a partial color, i'm gon na start around the hairline. Look through my partings and clip it up. There'S my color application. I am not going to attempt to paint any color down here by the cylinders or need the near the dream. Catchers themselves, keep all your color applied up the top here. So keep the color all out the way from the top section. Now, let's say the hair has grown down four weeks: there's four wheat spray! So now, while my color's cooking, i'm going to do a quick adjustment, i'm going to adjust in my rows row by row, so open up your cylinder, take out your dream catcher and run your fingers through the client's hair, three or four times to remove any shedded Hair from the last four weeks, application and pop it back in again nice and tight, as it was initially again open up your cylinder pop out your dream catcher and run your fingers through the client's existing hair to remove any shedded hair pop in your dream. Catcher and put it back tight again, i cannot express enough clean sections always always always and every row that you've completed just go through with your fingers and make sure there are no hair tags. A hair tag is one little hair. That'S attached itself in another cylinder. So when you run your fingers through you're gon na snag that hair don't pull it. If you do feel one snip off one little hair, that's all it is snip it off. If you don't snip it off within seven to ten days, you're going to get another little hair stuck in there and another one and eventually you'll have a nice little knot, but you're not seeing the client in a couple of days, you're seeing the client in four To six weeks time by four to six weeks, you've now got a nice big fat dreadlock and it was caused by one little hair tag. So please make sure there are no little hair tags trapped in those cylinders run your fingers through after every row completed just make sure there are no tangles, no hair tips so rainbow
