Your choice of any Installation and removal tools
The
Basic tools are smaller than the
Everything tools and are great for beginners or if you prefer to use
smaller
tools. The Everything tools are
larger
and have more weight to them and are ergonomically designed.
The
tools with the “O”
hole are a 2-N-1 tool. They are used to install with the flat tip. Install with
the flat tip by compressing the link flat once the bonded tip hair
extension
and the natural hair is installed into the link by using a threader.
And
they are also used to remove by inserting the link into the “O” hole and
by
using a squeezing motion the link will open up and the hair extension
can be
removed.
The tools with the "half"
hole are used for installation purposes and not for removal.
This
tool is used for the folding method and/or used in the event you have a
client
that has issues with slippage. There are 3 steps in using the folding
method: 1. The link is installed by using the flat tip as in the
regular
method. 2. Then the link is then made into the shape of
a “U shape” or “taco shape” by inserting the link into the “half hole”
and
squeezing it. 3. The final step is by using the flat tip again you
squeeze the link and close it like a book.
The pic
remover tool
is used to remove the links by inserting the tines are inserted into the top and bottom openings of
the link and gently squeezing with an up and down motion opening the
tube so
that the hair extension may be withdrawn.
This Dual Slot nose Tool combines 3 methods in to one tool: (1)
installation: the "U" 1/2 Hole to
install for the "folding" method and (2) removal "O"
hole to open links, and (3) the flat head of the tool allows you to
install (flatten) the links.
The triple tools are tools
used for a more experienced user and combine all the functions into one
tool
but may be tricky to use if you are not as experienced in using the
tools; the have the pic remover
tool added onto the
ends of this tool. There are 2
triple tools

Sectioning
(1) To determine where the partings will start, take a comb and place it at the top back of the head. Where the comb leaves the head is where the parting will start.
(2) Make a parting from that point to the top back of the ear.
(3) Determine where you want your first track to go.The first row is usually from the back of the middle of the ear all the way across to the back of the middle of the ear.
(4) There are many invariable in installing the strands. If the hair is thin and shorter you may want to "pack them in" the first 2-3 rows; this describes installing the extensions right next to each other across the row and section the next row right above the previous row leaving no hair out of the extensions.
(5) After establishing weight for the first 2-3 rows, you can now "brick row" the extensions; this described installing the extensions on every other piece of hair and on the next row above the row you've just installed you will install an extension above an strand there there is an empty space with no extension installed there. The effect will be like a checker board; every other strand will be installed above every other but moved over by one space.
(6) Continue up the head until you reach the top leaving enough hair at the top to cover the last row of extensions.
|
|
|
|
Now that you are finished with the back you can start work on the sides in front.
Make sure all the rows follow the curve of the head.
You will install about 3-4 rows of "packed in" extensions on the sides in front making sure you do not go all the way to the front hairline.
Start the first row in the front side just above the corner of the eye matching it up to the corner of a track coming from the back.

choice
If
you are using Dinkie Links with a flange end, load the link flange side

2 threader options:
(1) Loop Threader-most popular and
easier
to use. Pre-load links onto threader. Pull a piece of hair through
the loop and push the link onto the hair and insert the bonded tip of
the hair extension into the link and use an installation tool to
compress the link.
(2) Hook Threader, this is
the latch hook method. Pre-load links onto
threader. Pull
a piece of hair
through the hook and let the latch drop onto the hair closing the hook
tip. Push the link onto the hair and install the link onto the hair
strand. Insert the bonded tip of the hair
extension into the link and use an installation tool to compress the
link.

Inserting I
tipped hair extension into installed link
Rest one hand on the client's head holding the sectioned off
hair strand with the link now installed, with the free hand insert the
pre-bonded hair strand into the link and hold with the hand resting on
the client's head.
Enough hair must be sectioned off to fill the link.
Once the pre-tipped hair extension is inserted into the link joining the
client's natural hair, the link must be filled entirely and there
should not be any gaps. If the link is not fully filled, you may
experience slipping.

| The link
& extension have now been installed making sure that the link is not
installed too close to the top of the client's natural sectioned hair
strand and that the link & extension are installed straight up and
down, not pulled out and away from the head. The bond of the pre-tipped
extension should be fully covered by the link, the hair extension tip
should not be poking out of the top or bottom. It may be necessary to
trim the bond on the pre-tipped extension prior to installation.
Please choose the proper size link for the correct
application, read the description of link sizes on th e products page to
choose the correct size, improper selection of the link size may cause
slipping.
