1. Prepare all tools at your station.
2. Place hair at your station in sections. Place shells / locs in a bowl.
3. Prepare your client’s hair. Start at the neck about 1 inch above the neck line.
   Clip excess hair away.
4. Select enough hair in a little square section about 15-20 strands and use the coated clip to hold the client’s hair.
5. Insert needle into shell / locs.
6. Pull clients hair through the shell / locs by using needle hook.
7. Clients hair is inserted into the shell through the needle hook.
8. Insert by pushing the hair extension into the shell / loc, make sure the shell / loc and hair extension are in line evenly, close to the root of the hair.
9. Now spacing and brick laying are important.
   Place the shell / locs in your V spot in your extension tool.
10. Press down in the V spot.
11. Open the tool. You will see the shell in a V shape. Then twist the V shell 90 degrees and put it on the flat part of the tool. Press down again (flat) to complete the fold.
12. Make sure that the clamp tool is properly positioned; otherwise the shell will stick out.

Removal

Removal of hair extensions should take place 3-4 months after application. This time frame depends on how fast your clients’ hair grows, and if it is properly cared for.

1. Use the tip of the installation tool and place the shell / loc in-between.
2. Gently squeeze down.
3. The shell / loc will gently open; remove the shell / loc
4. Gently remove the hair extension nicely together.

Most of the time you can re-use all the hair. However it is a good idea to have about 30-40 strands available as the client may have damaged some.

The hair can be re-used 2-3 times, the wax will break down. But you can re-wax the tips yourself. You will need a heater for it.

Please note:
You will need to replace all the shell / locs each time when putting them back in.
