Step by step of staple extensions

In this post, one of our Play Extension stylists is going to tell you the step by step of one of the extension placement systems that is gaining more and more followers: the staple extensions.

You may have also heard of extensions with rings. It is the same format. They are characterized by being a fixed system and one of the options more economical that exist on the market. Do you want to discover more?

Good things have to be shared. Keep reading and don't miss any details because you may discover that clip extensions are just what you are looking for.

What are staple extensions?

Staple extensions are a extension placement system. It consists of forming small strands of hair from the extension and your own natural hair to close it with rings. In such a way that the extension curtain that we are placing is perfectly held in place thanks to these small joints that are made with staples.

The suitable extensions for this fixation system are the branch extensions or weave hair extensions. These natural hair extensions are one of the quickest solutions to achieve body, volume and greater length.

And you know the best? That the branch extensions are the only ones on the market available in three different structures: straight, wavy and curly. So, whatever hair you have, you will find the perfect extensions for you.

Since they already come with a defined structure, the hair in the extensions will return to its natural state after wetting it. That is, if you opted for wavy hair extensions and you wash your hair, it will return to its natural wavy state when it dries.

However, wavy hair extensions can also be straightened or shaped if you wish since it is natural hair. Remember that Play Extension's natural hair extensions withstand any thermal tool you use (iron, dryer or curling irons) since it is natural hair and not synthetic fiber. Of course, remember to use a heat protectant to protect them as you would with your own natural hair.

Another advantage of branch extensions (you're starting to get more interested, right?) is that they are the only extensions available in two different lengths:

  • Between 45 and 50 cm.
  • Between 60 and 65 cm.

With such credentials, we already understand the reasons for its success.

Branch extensions can be attached to the hair in different ways, but the most popular of all is with clips. That's what we're going to talk to you about in this post. Pay attention!

Are clip extensions right for you?

Before we get to work we want you to have one thing very clear: clip extensions They are not recommended if your hair is fine or fragile.. Because? Because when they are attached to your hair with the staples you will notice that they pull on you and it will be very uncomfortable.

Choose your perfect extensions It depends on many reasons: pace of life, type of hair, condition of your scalp, if you are a very sporty girl... At Play Extension extension centers we always do a short interview with the clients to get to know them better and offer them exactly what they need. .

Clip-on extensions are a good option if you have a thick and resistant hair since with the density of your hair we will ensure that they go completely unnoticed.

Do you like to wear pigtails or updos? If the answer is yes, clip extensions may not be right for you.

Don't worry because before choosing a specific extension system, we will ask you all the necessary questions to find the one you need.

How to put clip-in extensions

Another thing to keep in mind if you are interested in clip extensions is that They can only be installed by a professional expert in natural hair extensions. You need the staples and special pliers, so forget about these extensions if you're looking for something you can put on yourself.

The placement of this system is very simple. We will only have to apply some small rings over the top of the hair. Before placing them, you must wash and dry your hair very well and study the shape of your head to prevent them from showing.

Read the following steps and find out how to place this system in a perfect and simple way.

1. For the application of staple system, we make a line in our client's hair. We would cut the hair of the same length of the line and apply a little adhesive at the top of the curtain.
Once we have applied it, we position the extension about 2/3 mm from the root and let the adhesive dry.

This adhesive is completely transparent and does not damage your hair or scalp. We put it because this way the stylist marks a line so that the natural hair branch is perfect. This adhesive then disappears with washing.

2. Once the adhesive is dry, we drop a second line of hair over it and thread the needle.

3. Once the needle is threaded, we introduce it to pick up a small strand of the curtain of hair next to our client's strand.

4. We introduce the needle, we hook it, close it and let the ring slide to hold the hair.

Once we have it in this position, with the pliers we raise the ring upwards and we press. Once all the rings are placed, the system is fixed and this is the result.
