Step 1
Installation begins from the bottom and goes upward. Section the clients hair into 4 sections: The front-right section, front-left section, the top-back section, and bottom-back section. Clip all sections out of the way except for the bottom-back section which we will work with first
(as shown above).

Step 2
To avoid extensions showing during wear, no extensions should be installed closer than 1-1½ inches from all hair lines and parts. The above picture shows an approximation of where to place your first row of extensions.

Step 3
Use some duck-bill parting clips (shown above in silver) to keep loose hairs out of the way. The above red X's indicate the suggested placement for your extension bonds- yours may vary. Notice how we left a little room on each side of the row to stay away from the hair line. Next, create another row about ½ - ¾ of an inch above the first one. Some people leave no hair between rows and some do- the choice is yours. See step 7 for examples of the row parting.

Step 4
The above picture is an example of what your highest row in the back may look like. We do not suggest going any higher than this to avoid seeing any of the bonds during wear. For medium or fine/thin hair it is common to have your highest row 1-2 inches lower than the one shown above. The object of placing the last row is to go as high as you can with out the bonds showing when you let the client's hair down.

Step 5
Once the back is done we can move over to the sides.
The rows should begin about 1-1½ inches from the hair line around the ear. The X's represent possible bond placements must be placed back from the hair line as shown.

Step 6
This is an example of what your top row on the side of the clients head may look like. This mannequin hair is naturally parted in the center so we stayed about 1-2 inches below their natural center part. Be sure to find out how your client regularly parts their hair so you can stay about 1-2 down from that. |

| Parting & Placement Suggestions Quick Tip
Highlights
If you are trying to place two colors and create a highlighted look here in an example of what your placement may look like. Red X's represent one color and yellows another. There's no set pattern and we have found that placing them a little sporadic like shown above gives more of a natural look.
If a client has thick streaks you may want to try and follow their color pattern. Let's say they had blonde and brown streaked hair- you would attach brown extensions to their brown hair and blonde extensions to their blonde hair. This tends to look really natural.

| Keratin-tipped Hair Extension Removal Step 1
Removal Step 1
Apply 1-2 drops of acetone (or bond remover) to the bond and then begin crunching it between a pair of ridged tooth pliers. Give the bond a 1/4 turn and continue crunching. The bond should begin to break up.

|

Removal Step 2
Once the bond breaks up begin combing it out. For pesky bonds try another drop of acetone and continue to crunch the bond.
|
|
| Keratin-tipped Hair Extension Removal Step 3
Removal Step 3
Comb the bond completely out of hair.
Tip- Do not tug at the bond during removal. Instead hold the natural hair between the bond and scalp with one hand and grab the far end of the extension with the other hand pulling slightly. The bond should slide off easily, if it does not repeat Step 1
