THE RIGHT HAIR CUT

Getting your hair cut or shaped prior to application is the number one tip on our list!
If you have a blunt haircut or a heavy line to the bottom of your hair, there is a good chance your new locks won’t blend.
Get your hair thinned out on the ends (seems ironic doesn’t it)  or add lots of layers to take away some weight. This will stop you from having that obvious line where you hair ends and the hair extensions continue.
THIS ladies is how to blend tape hair extensions most effectively!

STYLING

  • Sleek and straight
  • Soft curls

  • Half up half down
  • A low sleek ponytail

HAIR CARE

Okay, starting off with wet hair, getting your blow dry right is key! The way your hair is dried and styled is super important when adding an injection of volume. For thicker looking locks, use one of two methods.

Parting can make a huge difference to the overall appearance of your hair. We know… it may be hard to change, but switching this up can add volume and height to your locks!
