Tips - How To Install Tape Hair Extensions Using Professional Techniques | Twisted Fringe

Hi, I'm Jen with twisted fringe, and today we're going to be showing you our application technique with twisted fringe hair extensions. You always want to make sure you're starting your installation at the nape of the neck and working your way up the head. The first thing you want to do is bring down a nice clean straight section, keeping in mind that you want to leave enough around the perimeter of the hairline to cover the extension. So one little trick that I do is taking a rat tail or a foiling comb, take a section of hair and pull the hair over the comb, making sure that you can't see that comb through there. If you can see it, you need a little bit more left down in the perimeter, because we want to make sure that she can wear these extensions up and not have any of the extensions exposed. So once I know what I'm going to leave for the perimeter, then I take my tape. Hair extension out of the packaging and it already comes pre taped. So all you have to do is just peel off that backing off of the extension and it's ready to be installed into the hair. So one thing you want to keep in mind is that you do not want to touch the tape with your fingers because we don't want any oils or lotions to transfer onto the tape, because we want to have a nice secure hold. So then, I'm going to take my extension, keeping that perimeter free, dropping it down about a half an inch away from the part line, and I'm just gon na give it a little bit of a press. Then I want to just lift up the extension itself and make sure it's not too tight to the clients, scalp, so just a little bit of a gap between their scalp and the extension to make sure it's not lifting her scalp at all and is going to Be nice and comfortable, while she's wearing the extensions I'm going to take my next weft and I'm going to leave about a quarter of an inch in between the two wets and give it a little push. Now, once I have my two wefts on in my row, I'm gon na go back and I'm gon na place. The bottom left on there to complete the sandwich again make sure I'm not touching the tape with my fingers, I'm going to let any hair that has naturally attached to that tape fall away and then just make sure I'm cleaning up that section in its nice straight Clean party, then I'm going to apply my weft underneath making sure it's lined up and not elevated, and then I'm going to slowly bring down that top left until I can see that the two wefts are aligned and then pressed together. So once I have that one on I'm just gon na place, my bottom left on my next extension again, letting any hair - that's not attached to the tape, fall away. Cleaning up that section. So it's a nice straight clean partying, slowly, bringing that weft down until the two are aligned and then pressing together and then I will continue to work my way up the head to finish the installation.
