Nano Ring Installation

In this video you'll be taught how to install your nano ring, hair extensions, so the very first thing you want to do is create that sectioning, so you're going to start on the top and work your way, all the way down and you're going to create that Straight line straight down the back, always remembering that it is a lot more difficult on a mannequin than it is on a human head. So don't be alarmed if you're, finding it a little difficult so you're going to create that back section, making it as straight and neat as possible, like so you're gon na grab an alligator clip and then just clip that off to the side and working on this Side, you're gon na create your first row and you're gon na start about an inch above the bottom hairline. So you're going to create your first row an inch above that bottom hairline and you're going to bring that down and just make sure again that it's as straight and pop as possible and you're going to grab another alligator clip and clip that off and you're. Going to do the exact same thing on the other side, and then this will create connect your two lines and it'll create one row. So typically, i like to start on the middle here where this one was ended and just create your next one over here. Bring that down making sure they're equivalent and parallel to each other, clip that upwards and clip off, and now you have your first row grabbing your alligator clips you're going to just want to clip any hair, that's falling below or interfering with your row up. This just will make it a lot more easier for you. So now that you have your first nape row created you're, going to start your installation again, remembering that you start from the bottom working your way upwards, with nano rings, you don't really have a guide. It'S just row by row by row by row until you filled up the entire head. So the first thing you grab is your loop thread and you just load up the thread with the nano beads. I usually get um silicone lined rings, and this will just protect the hair a lot better than if they were non-silicone lined rings. So i get it in a size, three millimeters and you typically want the bead itself to match the client's root color. If they're doing an ombre and their root is brown and the hair is blonde, you still want it to be brown, because you want the bead to disguise with their natural hair color, which would be the root color, so always making sure that the bead matches the Client'S root color, so you're going to load up the bead using your rings and you're just going to grab them they're very, very small you're, just going to put them right through the needle and typically i like to load it up at least about halfway. So it just makes my process a lot faster loop that through and once you've loaded it up you're, going to start on either your left side or your right side again, alternating in each row, you're going to alternate your side so starting on this row, i'm going To start on the right side, working my way to the left side in my next row, i'm going to start on the left side working my way to the right side, and this will create that brick layer effect, rather than having your rows directly. On top of each other, the brick layer allows for the extension to get and fill those gaps in between so starting on my right side. You'Re going to want to leave a finger space away from the perimeter of the client's face to where you start and put your first extension and typically what i like to do is grabbing the tail comb. I will create a triangular effect, so dragging leaving the tip of the tail comb gliding on the client's scalp you're, going to create a triangular effect, just like that and you're going to grab what's equivalent of the client's natural hair to one extension. So once you've grabbed your client's natural hair you're going to grab your loop thread, you're going to put your fingers through it. So you're going to open up the loop, like so and you're, going to grab the hair, making sure that there's no cross hairs. There'S nothing interfering with this section that you've sectioned off and you're going to pull the hair through the loop. So now it looks like this and you're going to hold them both in one hand using your right hand or left hand. Whichever side is your dominant you're going to push the bead upwards and you're going to pull that bead onto the client's hair, you don't want to hold on the client's natural hair, too strong or else the bead is not going to go through. So maybe letting go and then pushing that bead through pulling your loop out of the way. So then you're going to push that bead upwards and bring it closer to the roux. I like to say i like to keep about a pinky space of where the client's scalp is to where the bead will sit. So you don't want to bring it too high up if you're, bringing it too high up, it's going to be too tight and cause too much tension at the scalp. So you can see here. This is too much tension if you're bringing it too high, and this could cause damage breakage and slippage. So you want to lower that a tiny bit and, as you can see, it's created a triangular like an upside down triangle. You'Re then, going to grab your nano ring and, as you can see, there's a little metal piece at the top there you're going to put that behind and underneath the bead and push that metal piece upwards. Holding that in place you're going to use your pliers and, as you can see, it did go up a little tighter to the root. But i'm going to fix that with the pliers so grabbing your pliers you're, going to put that directly on the bead, drag it down a little bit, so it's not so close to the root and then press and firmly tighten that and now you have your nano Ring extension installed, so we're going to do that and keep going to fill up the entire row again same thing: you're going to create that triangular and you do want it to be like directly beside each other, so you're going to create that triangular. Almost like a! U shape will create that triangular look and then it kind of typically looks like that. You'Re going to grab your putting your fingers through to open it you're going to loop, the hair, through your thread, pulling it out of the way, then pushing your one bead up and i would suggest, don't bring the loop all the way up here. Kind of bring it halfway down the shaft, so it's easier and you're going to push that bead through the hair and now that you've got it onto the hair you're, going to pull your thread. Holding the bead pulling your thread to get that hair out of the loop. So now that you have that you're going to bring that upwards again making sure you have a pinky space from the scalp to where the bead is going to be sitting. So we can bring that a little lower using your finger and keeping it here to hold it in place. You'Re going to grab your nano extension, i typically like to put it behind not in front so i'll put the metal piece just behind there. So the hair is covering the extension. The client's natural hair is covering the extension then grabbing your pliers you're, going to adjust and then tightly press that together and then you're going to continue so again, creating that, u shape so you're, going to start at the top and you're going to drag your tail. Comb to kind of like pick up the hairs that are underneath so start at the top drag pick up the hair underneath and now that you have your hair you're, going to grab your needle loop, the hair through the needle, bringing the bead upwards. Pushing that onto the hair holding the bead and pulling the loop out and pulling the hair out now that you have your bead on the hair grabbing your nano extension we're going to place that behind and through the bead, that is through the natural hair. Using your pliers we're just going to tightly press that and you're going to keep going now. If you find that you're struggling to pull the bead through the loop, it just could mean that you added too much of the client's natural hair. So if that's the case, you do want to remove that thread and then just trim off some of the clients, natural hair and try again and then it should be able to go through so so, as you guys can see, i must have added too much hair Because my bead is not going up, i've even brought it pretty low, but it still won't go up. So i'm going to push the bead back through remove some of the natural hair and try again and now it's gone through and now we've created our first row of the nano installation and if you'd like you, can also straighten out your rows just to make it Easier for the final product at the end, but typically you will then go again and work row by row. You'Re going to do the same thing, you're going to create your next section and your next row dropping these two down. So we're going to work on this quadrant first, your next row will be again about half an inch above your previous row and you're, going to drop that hair down clip that off do the same thing on this side, making sure that it connects to this one. So again, sectioning about half an inch above your previous row and just making sure that it connects to create one big row using your alligator clips. You'Re, going to lift up those cross hairs and those hairs that are falling over top your row. And, as you can see in our previous row, i started on the right side, so in this row now we're going to start on the left side, and this will allow um to be automatically brick layered. So you won't even have to really keep your eye on it, because now that your next row is going to basically start off and it's going to be filling in these gaps underneath here so again leaving your finger space, our first section will be created right here And, as you can see, this extension will be placed right in between let's zoom you guys in it'll, be placed right in between these two and it's going to fill in that gap. So that's how you create your brick layer by alternating which sides you start on in each row. So now that you put your extension here, you're going to have all your gaps filled in. So your extensions at the end, don't look stringy and they look full and then you'll just fill up that entire row and you'll be doing the same thing. Moving forward you're going to section off a new row and it's going to be a half inch above your previous row, you're, going to work your way upwards, your last section or your last row, especially on the back area, would typically end where the cowlick and the Crown is this is because, if you go too high up or too close to this area, the extension will be visible. So the cowlick in the crown area is typically around the center top back of the client's scalp. On some clients you can actually see it and it looks like a little bald circle and on other clients, it's a little harder to detect. So if you do notice it, please do not pass it to make it a little easier. The last section on the client's back would be where the brow bone is aligned, so the top of the brow bone or the brow arch sorry. This would typically be your last row. So, as you guys can see here, her brow will meet up with where her crown or her cowlick is. That will be your last row in the back. If the client's hair is specifically thick and you do need to go higher, you can do so on the sides just ensure that you're flipping the hair over top of the extension and making sure that it is not visible when it comes to removing and reinstalling nano Ring hair extensions: it is the same procedure as installing when it comes to working from the bottom and going upwards you're, always going to start on the bottom, you're always going to work row by row, piece by piece, you're going to remove and put it back in The same spot, so obviously i'm starting at the bottom here, which is my very first row, i'm going to grab my pliers, we're going to start with this extension grabbing your pliers you're, going to use your pliers and pinch the sides so you're not going to pinch. Like this, where we originally pinched to secure it, you're now going to open the bead so pinching the sides opens up the bead. Sometimes you got ta. Do it again to loosen it up more and then your extension will come out. You'Re then going to remove the bead, and now this goes in the garbage. You cannot reuse nano rings and then this can be placed aside to be put back in shortly and then you're going to do that for the rest of the row. You'Re going to pinch the side of the beads, remove the extension, remove the bead and another um suggestion or something you'll have to do - is you're going to have to brush out those sections of course, because they will get tangled. There will be a little bit of matting, which is very normal, so just ensure that you do brush those out and then continuing that for the rest of the entire row. Now that you've removed your entire row of the nano rings, you're just going to want to make sure everything is brushed through. There are no tangles and no matting and everything all the shedded hair is all brushed out. You'Re just going to then clean up that row and prepare it to be installed for the extensions so starting on whichever side you decide, i'm going to start on my right side, you're now going to install the extension back in the same place. So one finger space away from the perimeter of the face, you're going to start reinstalling your nano beads - and this is pretty much just the installation process all over again so grabbing your loop looping, the client's natural hair through bringing that bead up through the loop and Onto their hair, bringing that a little closer to the scalp making sure you leave that pinky space from the scalp to where the bead will be secured grabbing. Your nano extension reusing the exact same one, putting that through your bead securing and clamping with your pliers and now you've reinstalled your extension and you're going to do the same thing in the entire row. Once you've completed your row, you're going to move on to your next row, you're going to bring down that row, remove all of the extensions brush through them and then put them back in the exact same spot and you're going to do this for the entire head And that's how you remove and reinstall your nano ring hair extensions.
