QuoteReplyTopic: cutting/layering new extensions Posted: July 15 2008 at 6:08pm
I'm planning on having my extensions installed in about two weeks. My mom is going to do them for me. I need some information about how to cut them. She is very capable of in installing them and cutting hair as well but is nervous about cutting extensions. Is there anything special we need to know? I read the post about Kalika (I think that was her name) who pre-layered her extensions. I was thinking about getting a pair of thinning shears and slightly trim the ends of the extensions. I am thinking this would give it a nice layered look as the strands are installed up my head. My big concern is how to blend my natural hair into the extensions. Right now my hair is just down to the bottom of my skull, just past my ears, all one length mostly. I'm hoping to find a way to layer in the extensions so it all blends in together. Does anyone know of any videos or websites or other posts on here that will help me with this? Or more precisely, help my mom since she will be doing the cutting!!
Cutting in extensions is down to personal preference, no right or wrong method.
I prefer to cut once installed... I dampen the hair then layer in slightly the extensions from the client own hair. Then at the front of the head either side, layer more heavily to created feathering around the face.

I have a copy of Sherries layering. I don't think she will mind if I post it. Wait, maybe I better ask her first.
