Things You'll Need:
1. Cleanse natural hair using a mild moisturizing shampoo, DO NOT USE conditioner. It is very important to install hair extensions in clean, dry hair.
You want all the dirt and debris to have been removed from the hair and scalp so the pores aren't clogged. Completely dry the hair before continuing.
2. Separate the hair into four workable sections: two in the front and two in the back. Hold the hair in place with clips.
3. Each section partition off 1" of natural hair around hair line and clip. This natural hair must remain out to cover extensions when pulled up or back into ponytails.
4. Starting with one parted section in the back, make a straight part pulling down enough hair to equal the same thickness and width of sticker tape-in stripe. Make sure to pin remaining hair from that section up and out of your way.
5. _Peel off protective covering and place tape-in stripe underneath parted hair 1/4" away from scalp.
6. Grab another tape-in stripe peel off covering place stripe directly on top of stripe that was placed underneath parted hair. Natural hair should be sandwiched between the two tape-in stripes.
7. Using a blow dryer or flat iron (250 - 300 degree heat setting) apply heat for a few seconds allowing 3CM adhesive to melt creating a stronger lasting bond.
8. REPEAT STEPS 4 -7 UNTIL ALL SECTIONS OF HAIR IS DONE.
