PREPARING THE NATURAL HAIR FOR THE HAIR EXTENSION SERVICE
If your client has very thick hair in a blunt cut it may be necessary to taper the ends very slightly, only do this if it is absolutely necessary. Ask your client to arrive for her appointment with freshly washed hair. Although it makes no difference to the attachments, the connections will show through more on greasy hair making it difficult to asses how far up the head to apply extensions.
ATTACHMENT AND SECTION SIZING FOR THE HAIR EXTENSION SERVICE
You must pay particular attention to attachment sizes and be careful not to add too much extension hair. The objective is always to create realistic, natural, credible styles. Always attempt to add the same amount of extension hair as the natural hair section you have taken. This will avoid unnecessary tension and ensure the extension style is comfortable for the client to wear long term. When deciding on section style take into account the clients natural hair density, take smaller sections with fine hair and medium to large on thicker hair. Around the hairline and crown use fine sections so the extensions will blend in easily. A medium section size would normally be approximately half a centimetre square.
Ensure that all sections are clean and free of stray hairs. If you still end up with stray hairs attempt to pull them away from the connection or snip them individually with scissors. Always run fingers thoroughly through finished style to ensure there are not strays you have not noticed as in later weeks this can encourage matting and tangling. This technique allows you to have full control on how high the extension is positioned; it can rest either at the scalp or a few millimetres down the hair shaft. If your client has a sensitive scalp or a scalp condition always leave at least one centimetre free. Always ask the client if the extension feels comfortable, ask them to alert you if any particular extension feels tight or uncomfortable, different areas of the scalp can be more sensitive than others. If a client suffers any discomfort remove the extension and replace with less tension. Remember if the attachment is too tight it will pull at the hair shaft causing tension spots, these can become infected and eventually lead to breakage and traction hair loss. To achieve a natural result a solid continuous row is recommended, this will avoid extensions ‘separating’ into obvious strands. The hairline is always left free as this is a very delicate area of the hair, because every client will have a different hair growth pattern you must use your discretion when deciding how far forward you should go.
HAIR EXTENSION CUT AND FINISH THEORY
Correctly blending and styling the extension style is extremely important for a natural finish. As every client will have a different base style and finish request there are only a few hard and fast rules when it comes to the finish. Always taper the top layer of the extension hair to blend with the natural hair. You can use a razor or scissors to cut hair but remember the density is different to the natural hair. Effectively the hair is distributed in plugs, like a dolls head. When cutting with scissors, point cut to remove any false looking separatism. When using a razor do not be afraid to slice into the hair to reduce bulk and weight and encourage more natural movement. Straighten hair with ceramics to ensure an even cut with appropriate definition.
