Hair Extension Applicaiton Tool

A hair extension applicaiton tool is an essential item for any stylist who uses fusion, tape in, micro link or sew in hair extensions.hair extension applicaiton tool With the right tool, these hair extension techniques can be performed faster and more efficiently. Balmain, a well-known fashion house, has launched a revolutionary hair extension tool that applies extensions to thin hair like no other product on the market. The Systeme Volume tool allows stylists to apply human hair and heat-friendly fiber strands with ease. The tool is quick, painless, and requires no glue.

The curved design of the tool allows stylists to place each strand of hair precisely where it needs to go without the risk of pinching, overlapping or misplacement. The applicator is also heated, which helps prevent damage to the strand and the natural hair underneath. It is available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate all types of hair, from short to long.

Before applying any strands, it is essential to thoroughly wash and condition your client’s hair and prep it for the application process. To prep, section the client’s hair with a rat-tail comb or clip and comb out a square section, approximately 1/4" inch. Then position the extension under this section, positioning it 1/2" to 1" from the scalp and laying it down to ensure that it is flat against the head.

Once the strand is positioned, press the tip of the tool firmly against the strand and bond for 5 seconds to pre-soften the keratin. Hold the tool in this position until the strand and bond begin to swell and expand, signaling that the keratin is ready for molding. This step is crucial because it can save time and help to avoid over softening and disintegration of the keratin.

Throughout the process, it is important to keep your tools clean and in working order to minimize any potential mistakes. Spritzing a little bit of the hair extension cleaning solution onto a microfiber cloth is a great way to remove any dried keratin residue from the Protector Strips, Disks, Melting Connector or Classic/Luxe tool after each use.

After the installation, pinning each weft to the Styrofoam Mannequin head is an effective method to ensure that each strand is properly secured and oriented for easy removal later on. Additionally, using the Strand Organizer to store your tools while not in use will prevent them from becoming tangled or displaced during this time.

If the extensions are in need of a color touchup, pull out the Hair Coloring Mat to easily and safely hand-apply mixed color. This tool is especially useful for I-Link and Flat-Tip extensions, as it is easy to carry around with you to avoid having to re-strategize on the fly. Moreover, the reversible, clear plastic design allows stylists to see exactly what they are doing and where their colors are applied.
