Fitting Guides For Beginners

1, Always wash your hair before you start, but do not use conditioner as the extensions will not adhere properly if your hair is too slippery.

2, Take a small section of your own hair about the same size as the extension you are about to apply

. 3, Pull the hair through a heat flake and using a section clip or a hairgrip secure the heat flake to your head.

4, Wrap the glue tip of the pre bonded extension around this section of hair around 1cm away from the scalp and apply heat for a few seconds.

5, Roll the heated glue tip between your fingers to make a smooth strong rice shaped bond.

6, Continue working in rows to complete your desired style.

REMOVAL

1, Removal of your hair extensions is simple. For fast removal add 1 drop of fusion remover to the bond, crush with removal pliers and slide the extension out of your hair. You may need to add another drop of removal fluid to remove any traces of keratin from your hair.

2, Always wash your hair thoroughly to remove any traces of fusion remover.

HANDY HINTS

1, Never fit extensions around your natural hairline, the hair here is not strong enough to take the weight of the extension and will also look unsightly if you wish to wear your hair up or in a pony tail.

2, If you are fitting a full head of extensions start at the bottom and work in rows from left to right up the back of your head. You will need to fit on average around 4-5 rows of extensions.

3, Place each extension close to its neighbour, without leaving gaps in between. You will need around 200 extensions for a full head. Less if you are using our 1 gram per strand Extensions.

4, For the sides of your hair, start fitting the extensions around 1 inch above the ear and work your way around the head untill you reach the opposite ear. Then fit another row directly above this one.

5, When you have completed the back and sides of the head, drop down the hair and brush through. Now you can add scattered extensions where needed to complete the style.

If you have any questions please ask before you start fitting and we will do our best to advise you.

Your extensions will need proper care and maintanance. If you are not prepared to take the time to look after them properly you should seriously consider if you are suitable for extensions. Hair Doctor cannot be held responsible for incorrect aftercare, it is your responsibility to maintain your new style.

CLIP IN`S

How To Fit Your "Hair Doctor" Clip Ins...... Begin with hair you have straightened with hair straighteners. This will help the natural ends of your own hair blend in better with the extension hair. 1. Before you insert the weft extensions, practice opening and closing the hair snap clips on each and every weft of hair, leaving each one in the open state. It takes considerable pressure to open and close these special snap clips. You may need two hands to create enough pressure to do this easily. Practice doing this or you may find your hair caught unexpectedly and that can be painful. The clips pop open easily when you know how. Use both thumbs and both index fingers to apply firm pressure to the clip ends. 2. Use a tail comb to practice parting the hair over the head just to see where you might put the pieces of hair weft. 3. To insert the hair extensions use a tail comb to divide the back of your hair from below one ear to the second ear. Use hair accessories to hold the surplus hair out of the way on top of your head. Now start at the lower centre back at the middle of the nape of the neck. Next take one of the wider hair wefts and insert the opened centre clip just below the parting. Insert the snap clip on the hair not on the raw scalp. Snap the clip in hair extension grip shut so it grips the hair. You will know if the hair is caught as it can be painful. If caught just undo the snap clip and reposition it again. Carefully attach the side snap clips one at a time. The clip-in weft hair extension should be fully stretched out with the hair weft as parallel as possible to the parting you made. Check for lumps and gaps and if you can feel bad positioning of the hair weft then undo the offending clips and reposition them until the weft feels correct and is as flat as practical to the scalp. 4. Release the hair you held out of the way and create a new parting. To do this, comb down a layer of hair with about half an inch or so between each weft layer. Each time hold back all the surplus hair as before with hairdressing grips. 5. Now insert the remaining wefts in the same manner as above. Repeat the process with a new parting above each weft extension. 6. Insert and position the side pieces so they frame the face and blend with your own hair. 7. Ensure your own hair is combed over the weft and the clips so that the hair looks natural. I have found this is one case where a little backcombing on the final smooth over layer of your own hair can be useful to give a little body. Do this before finally smoothing the hair. 8. USE A HAND MIRROR TO CHECK THE BACK VIEW AND SIDE VIEW! 9. Remove the wefts easily by pressing open the clips. NEVER attempt to slide them out without first opening the clip grips.
