(2) prepare your hair by preparing a flat surface on which your unit will sit. You can either braid,wrap, or cornrow your hair straight back or in a bee hive. A wig or stocking cap may also be usedto achieve the desired effect. Cleanse your skin with soap and water to remove excess oil and dirt,as this may hinder the effectiveness of your chosen adhesive. Then use 91-99% alcohol or astringent to further clean the application area. Which is the circumference of your head.

Use light layers of adhesive about 2-3 allowing each layer todry for about 5-10 minutes before applying the next. Use only a small amount at a time. If you areusing tape, apply tape directly to the unit. When applying directly onto your unit allow enough time for the adhesive to dry to prevent bleed thru of the adhesive to the other side. You may want to consider applying a light layer in combination with tape at the nape (back) of your unitfor a tight hold. That area can be troublesome, and using a glue to glue method works well especially at the nape.

Use your fine tooth comb to brush back any baby hairs that may get Caughtin your adhesive. Keep your 99% alcohol available to make adjustments, or comb out any glue that may have stuck to the hair during the application. Also use your alcohol to clean up anyexcess adhesive.

This will help your applicationto completely dry and remain secure. The finished result should look completely natural, as if thehair is growing from your scalp. Remember to be patient. Take your time. The more you practicethe better you'll get. The results are worth it, and so are you!NOTE: After you shower or work out you may feel as though your adhesive as weakened.
