Installation

Bulk Hair

All of our hair has the cuticle intact. It is vital to follow these steps. Always take hair from the top where it is tied with string. NEVER take hair from the bottom of the bundle. When folding hair over to braid, the tail must be trimmed short, just  below the tie-off.

Hand-Made Wefts

Never cut any part of the top of the wefts. These wefts are hand-tied and delicate. If they are cut, then we cannot guarantee that they will not shed.

Never sew through the top of the weft. Although we are the only company to triple-reinforce our wefts, putting a needle through the weft will damage the wefts and cause shedding.

Micro Wefts

When attaching the Micro Wefts with a needle, it is recommended that you sew around the weft not through the weft.
