Prep:
1. Clarify your guest’s hair twice with Intensive Shampoo. This process will remove all residue and buildup from their hair. Do not condition or use any styling products.
2. Blow dry your guest’s hair with a vent or paddle brush. Finish by using a professional flat iron to smooth your guest’s hair to allow for precise sectioning.
3. Using the Sectioning Brush, begin to section the hair, using your guest’s natural part. Next, create a parting from ear to ear, establishing three sections.

Installation:
1. Beginning on Row 1, on the right side of the head, measure 0.75” / 2cm from your guest’s hairline; the first extension will begin here.
2. Use the Sectioning Brush to take a section that is the same density and width as one piece of the extension.
3. Flip the section up while holding the hair between the index finger and middle finger, using the pinkie finger as a hinge against the head. This provides control of the section and allows the hair to be placed without creating tension.
4. Place the first extension band with the adhesive side facing up about 0.25” / 0.5cm away from the scalp.
5. Roll the hair down over the adhesive band making sure to keep all hair smooth.
6. Place the second adhesive band with the adhesive side facing down on top of the first band, securing the hair between the two bands.
7. Firmly press the two bands together to activate the adhesive. This will create a watertight seal.

KEY INGREDIENTS:
Remy Hair

How long do the extensions last?
6 months. Hotheads applications last 8 to 10 weeks varying on your guest’s hair growth. This is recommended to eliminate matting, frizzing and tangling, and ensures the extension is always close to the scalp.

Can I reuse the extensions?
Yes, the suggested re-use is up to three times. After three uses, bulk at the attachment area may be created and new hair is necessary. Be sure to purchase Solvent and adhesive bands for re-service. They can be reapplied up to three times for a total of 6 months of wear; this is recommended so that the extension bond remains seamless.

Is it human hair?
Yes, the hair comes from India. The extension itself is assembled in China with products from Asia, Europe and the US. The extensions are 100% Remy human hair, meaning the cuticle is intact and the hair is placed with the cuticle all facing the same direction. This means no matting, tangling or short hair returns. 

Can you color the extensions?
You can deposit color down 2 to 3 levels. Hotheads does not recommend that you lighten the extensions. To create a more platinum blonde you can apply a toner to Color No.613 or No.25. In the process of applying color, keep all color away from the adhesive bands. If you decide to deposit color to create your desired shade, it is recommended that you wait 24 to 48 hours from the time of application to allow the adhesive band to seal firmly. Please keep in mind, coloring or lifting the extensions voids their warranty.

Can regrowth be colored?
Yes, the suggested re-use is up to three times. After three uses, bulk at the attachment area may be created and new hair is necessary. Be sure to purchase Solvent and adhesive bands for your re- service. They can be reapplied up to three times for a total of 6 months of wear; this is recommended so that the extension bond remains seamless.

Can you iron, curl or blow-dry the hair?
All of the above heat processes are okay. Do not allow guests to sit under a dryer while wearing Hotheads or to isolate any of the above heat processes to the adhesive bands. Concentrated heat applied to the bands can make the adhesive tacky.

What products can be used in the hair?
Hotheads recommends the use of the Hotheads product line. It is formulated specifically for processed hair and extensions. Heavy conditioners are not to be applied at the scalp, or adhesive bands, but rather from mid shaft to end. Remind your guest to rinse longer than usual and preferably in sections, to ensure there is no product left in the hair or on the scalp. Avoid products containing alcohol, oil or ethanol.

How many adhesive bands come in a pack?
There are two different packs of bands. Original bands come in packs of 60. Petite bands come in packs of 36. Each pack has enough bands for 3 reapplications.

How do I remove them?
Apply Solvent to new hair growth and allow it to trickle down the hair shaft in between the adhesive bands. Let it set for 5 seconds and then separate the bands. Do not rub the adhesive band. A good tip is take a styrofoam mannequin head and place the bands on t-pins in the pattern they were taken from the client’s head.
