Threaded Extensions

For this technique you have to pre-tip the hair ( which seems to take me the longest ) in a special kind of hair glue that dissolves once you wash you clients hair. You part your sections just as you would if you were doing fusion/sh***k*** etc. Then using a gossamer thread you loop the thread around the pretipped hair and the client’s natural tresses that you sectioned off. Once you’ve looped it around you then tie the thread in a small knot. At first it took me a little while to do it but as with any techinque once you begin to master it you can complete a full head within 6 to 8 hours. It is an invisible strand technique with “no lumps or bumps” ( Ashante ). Of course since you are using thread you wouldn’t comb your hair, you would just brush it. I have found that pre-tipping the extension hair at the top with nail glue prevents less shedding as it does with any pretipping strand technique. Out of all the extensions classes I've taken this was one that I really felt informed about.
