Which technique?

Post by faeriedreads » Fri Aug 12, 2011 8:21 pm

Ok I'm a complete newbie to this, so feel free to delete if this is a bit too stupid!

I really want to learn how to do human hair extensions, but I don't know which method to start with. Which would you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

I would start with linkies. It's a good foundation. Plus if you mess up, all you have to do is unclamp it and redo it.

Check out this page! http://www.vixensingsblack.com/Guide/Loose.html

I'd suggest clips ins first, and if you like that, try the pinch braid with string method or linkies.

I honestly love clip in extensions, even though I'm perfectly capable of doing anything else! They're very easy and inexpensive to make, totally versatile, and easy to do yourself. Best perk: They're quick in and out, so if you like to change it up a lot they're perfect!

Excellent choice for a beginner, I would say. Next up would be microlinks.

Thank you! I've had glue in extensions before, would just like something that stayed in for ages with no fussing about really =P

And a tutorial for I-tipping, perfect =D xx

Right now strand-by-strand methods are very popular as these are very undetectable and moves like your own hair. These methods include fusion pre-bonded, micro-ring and shrinkies.
