Microbead Removal And Reapplication - Microbead Hair Extension Placement Guide

Okay, guys now we're getting into the hands-on phase of your master class. Now, for the purposes of this demonstration, i've already applied beth's hair extensions. We'Ve got the beads and the tapes at the top. So i'm going to take you through what a maintenance appointment would usually look like, so i'm going to take you through both application and removal. So we're going to start by sectioning the hair into two and clipping that hair out of the way make sure that the hair isn't sitting over your client's eyes. Now, once you've got your bottom section, you want to go through and find your first row and clip the remaining hair out of the way now make sure that the hair is free from any tangles and knots before continuing this just makes it a lot easier to Remove so you're going to grab your pliers and very carefully going to pop the bead open slide down the extension tip while pushing the bead up towards the scalp at the same time, lay down that tip and then it's just as easy as pulling out the beads. Now, what you can do, it's a bit of a time: saving hack is go through and open. All of the beads at the same time grab the extensions while holding the beads, and then it pulls out the entire row and then grab those beads. Then you want to go through and comb out all of the old residue and natural hair loss. It'S really important to remind your client on their first appointment that you will be brushing out old hair. This is the hair that they would have lost naturally, but it's just been caught in between the beads, so once you've removed that first row and you've brushed out all of the residue you're going to go back through and make another new clean part. Now the reason i like to go row by row is because, if you don't it's really hard to know where to put the extensions back in as they've usually already been cut in so you're, going to grab your micro bead needle and you're, going to section off A triangular section of hair in between your fingers make sure there are no fly aways hanging down, because this can cause damage to your client's natural hair. You can either use a sectioning clip to clip the hair out of the way or you can use a little bit of hairspray. So once you've got your triangular sections, you can either use your fingers to pick it up like i did so you're just kind of criss crossing it over or you can use the tail comb and kind of draw a triangular section like that whatever's comfortable for you. So once you've got that section, you're, just gently twisting it in between your fingers. Now you want to make sure that you're twisting it nice and close to the root. This just keeps all of the hair combined you're then grabbing the hook and you're placing it underneath. The section of hair and you can flick that little lever over the top and push that bead on like so and gently pull the hair. Through now with your fingers, you want to keep the bead sitting like that grab your extension tip and push it underneath. The bead now, if you have trim, if you've, sectioned too much hair and the micro bead, sorry that eye tip doesn't fit in between the bead, then you're going to have to redo it and you'll also have to redo it. If the silicon lining pops out as well, so you want to grab your pliers and then squeeze down. I like to squeeze it probably two to three times just to make sure it's really secure and you're repeating this process all the way throughout so you're twisting it hooking it threading the bead on now. It'S really important to note that you don't want to apply it too close to the client's scalp, because this will cause tension pimples and be really really uncomfortable for your client. So you don't want to apply it too far down or too close to the scalp, and you only want the tip of the extension to just slightly be hanging out of the top section like. So it's really important that when you are clamping the bead down that you're making sure that it is actually sitting flat against the scalp. So if you clamp your hair like this or on an angle, that's how it's going to sit and it's actually going to pull your client's natural hair and be really really uncomfortable, um and we're going to go through and repeat the same process on the row underneath So the row above now, it's really important to note guys that you're not when you're, applying the beads that you're not going too far to the edge of the hairline. This ensures that when your client wears their hair up, you're actually not able to see any of the extensions. So it's usually about a two-finger width rule away from the hairline from the sides and underneath so we're going to go through pop open. All of the beads grab hold of the extensions and i'm just pushing the beads up. This just stops the beads from staying on top of the extensions it makes it easier to remove, go through and brush out again all of that naturally shaded hair. Now i do love microbees because they don't leave any residue on your client's head, so go through make that nice clean parting. Again now it's okay! If you don't make that clean section part straight away, you can go and repeat that process until you have achieved that clean section so twisting it grabbing the hook and spreading it on. It'S also really important to note that, when you're applying micro beads that the micro beads are never lighter than your client's natural hair color, especially if your client has blonde hair, the dark roots remember to always match the bead color to the root of their hair. You would never want to apply blonde micro beads under someone that has really dark regrowth, because it's just going to make it really really obvious. The only time i ever use blonde microbeads is when a client gets a scalp bleaching done really regularly. Now it is recommended guys that you do straighten your clients hair as you go. This just gives it a really nice overall polished, finish now, you'll be able to see here, as i pull down this top section, that i have strategically placed the micro beads in rows. Probably about one inch in between each other, i'm going to go through pop open all of the beads again and then push all of the beads up towards the scalp and pull the extension tips away, brushing out all of that hair loss. So the longer your client has left it in between maintenance, the more hair you'll be brushing out, and i usually find that people with finer hair tend to shed a lot more a lot more hair than those with thicker hair. Hmm, all right guys. Now we have completed our micro, bead maintenance and, as you can see here by going row by row, my client now doesn't need to have her extensions re-cut in
