How To Apply Hair Extensions | Hair Color Placement Technique

Hi, my name is Maya Rodriguez on the national educational director for Toni & Guy salons. Today, I'm going to demonstrate, on my model a extension technique working with fashion colors, with my model, we're gon na, be working with some fun colors, a lime, green and a fuchsia pink. So that way she could wear it temporary and just have fun with it. The tools that I'm using today are the extension links the hair, which is the singles, the extension pliers, the looper tool, a tail comb, a comb and some clips. We just want to add some peekaboo color below the round of the head, so what we did is isolate it, the top of the hair with a horseshoe starting from the recession, all the way around to the opposite side and then isolated the center with diagonals acts, Which creates this awesome C curvature section and that's where we're gon na place all the peekaboo color on her hair, so we riding the front hairline. So that way, it doesn't expose the link and then we're gon na take a horizontal section through the top of the C curvature. We'Re gon na isolate a section subsection, the actual density of the actual hair single that we're going to apply so we're gon na. Take the looper tool and use my index finger and my middle finger and slide the hair through the looper tool grab the actual micro link slide it through the top and pull on the looper tool. We'Re gon na grab the lime green hair feed it through the link with the extension pliers at low elevation, we're gon na press on it. This is the actual technique that you would use to apply just regular extensions with natural color hair. Some things to consider when you're applying the micro links is making sure that your elevation is low and not high. This keeps the hair looking natural as it grows out and making sure that your section is clean and free of crossover hair. So we're done with the right side and we're gon na do the same technique on the left side and take down my sections and I'm going to show you how it naturally is going to flow with her natural hair create a little bit of a pin through Her hair sort of actually could flow, naturally, with her layers. You could also apply products, preferably something drier on the root area, and then your shines more on the ends. Only this is going to prevent it from sliding off and it's gon na help. With the longevity of the extensions, so this is my finished look, my extension color placement. Thank you for watching. If you have any questions, please comment below
