How to Install
✨ Tape-Ins
Best installed by a stylist for long-lasting, flawless wear — but if you're confident, it's totally doable at home too!
- Prep the Hair
Start with clean, dry, and straightened hair. No oils or conditioner near the roots. - Section the Hair
Part a thin horizontal layer of hair — about ¼ inch thick — starting from the nape of your neck. - Sandwich the Tape-Ins
Take one Tape-In weft and place it under the parted section, close to the root.
Press another weft on top, “sandwiching” your hair between the two tapes. - Press & Seal
Use your fingers or a flat plier tool to press the tapes together firmly. Hold for a few seconds. - Repeat & Layer Up
Continue working your way up in horizontal sections, spacing the tapes evenly. - Style as You Like
Wait 24–48 hours before washing. After that, you can style like your natural hair!
✨ Clip-Ins (Beginner’s BFF):
- Section your hair horizontally
- Snap in clips from bottom to top
- Blend and style. Done!
✨ Weft Hair Extensions
Method : Sew-In Weft
- Wash and dry your hair completely.
- Part your hair horizontally at the nape of your neck.
- Braid a cornrow along the part as the base.
- Thread a curved needle with weaving thread.

- Repeat with more layers moving up the head.
- Blend your natural hair over the wefts and style as desired.
✨ Wire Hair Extensions

- Pull your natural hair over the top
- Blend and go!
✨ I-Tip
