Balmain Fill-In Extensions and DoubleHair are made of 100% guaranteed human hair of the highest quality. Balmain uses the best quality Asian hair. The hair is sorted in one direction so all the cuticles are in the same direction and the hair will not tangle anymore. After sorting the hair will be treated with enzymes. This treatment gives the hair the effect of european hair which can be colored and permed as your own hair. High Quality High quality is very important to Euro Hair Fashion (the manfacturer & licencee of Balmain hair fashion), that is why we have our own R&D department to not only watch over the quality, but also to improve our products wherever possible. Besides that, our researchers are always looking for new applications and new methods for attachment, that fit even better to the deamnd of the modern consumer. If you like long hair, extra color, volume or texture in your hair ask your hairdresser for personal advice.

Slide 14 Colorring The colorring is the most useful tool when selecting the right color. Choose the color closest to the mid-lengths and ends of the client s natural hair color by using your colorchart. This is because this is where the existing hairstyle will be blend into the new extended length To make the hair look natural we advise to use/select two colors Take the color overview and select color with the colorring or color chart Levels 10-8 - 6: Any color can be applied Slide 15 Let s start Important: Discover your client s expectations Stress the importance of good maintenance Length of hair: neck: min. 8 cm - top: min. 12 cm (normal density) If the hair is weak, apply 5 extensions; test after 1-2 weeks Wash the hair with Cleanser - Do NOT apply conditioner Dry and brush the hair, make sure the hair is cooled off completely Slide 16 Tips & Tricks Make certain that the bonding closes off completely The bonding must be rolled around the hair and should not close on one side only but close all around If the bonding is not closed correctly, moisture may penetrate and cause it to break off later When attached, the bonding should not be longer than its original length, because it carrying capacity may decrease. If the bonding is longer than its original length, you have probably moved it while attaching Bonding may not be white anymore. If it is, you have not applied proper heat. It is also possible that the bonding was too long, the length of the wax must be even with the edge The connector must be cleaned regularly. Otherwise the bond will not get the right amount of heat. When you are finished, clean the connector with a disinfectant. Close the connector for a while before you start, in this way the cold part of the connector gets some heat Slide 17 Perming / coloring If more color or structure is desired Always start with perming or coloring before applying Human Hair extensions can be permed and colored If you perm - use a soft perming-lotion at room temperature If you color - mix permanent color with max. 3% peroxide Choose a color of the same level or one level darker Protect the keratin/wax behind a comb Color or perm extensions 3 days before the application Extension color 613, 614 and level 10 - never perm or color! 7
Slide 18 Fun with just a few Fill-In Extensions (Show the models and describe the application with the help of the technical drawings) Slide 19 Symbols 7 - stages (Give a demo of the 7 stages) Stage 1 - Sectioning Stage 2 - Protecting Stage 3 - Distance Stage 4 - Holding Stage 5 - Heating Stage 6 - Rolling Stage 7 - Polishing Slide 20 Application - Step by step - Microbonds 1. Section the client s hair 2. Take up some of the client s hair in a triangular shape about the same diameter of the extension. Flatten the triangular shape at the bottom. Make sure the extension is applied to the same amount of own hair as the extension. If applied to less hair than the extension itself, the own hair will break and the extension will fall off. If you take too much own hair the bond will not close and the extension will let loose, there will be too much tension on the hair. 3. Place the protector around it and make it slide down slightly and evenly so that the hair hangs down loosely, without any strain. 4. Secure the hair protector with a clip 5. Hold a strand of the client s hair between thumb and forefinger and place the extension right under it. Hold the extension and the client s own hair at the right distance 1-1,5 cm from scalp. For more durability of the extension, do not move too far from scalp. 6. Place the bond in the connector. Keep it still, do not slide up and down. Melting the bond is the most critical part in applying extensions. The bonding must contain hair over the whole length, cut off excess bonding. 7. Wait until the wax begins to bubble and becomes white. If the bonding is not heated properly, it stays white and does not change color. Do not heat too much, the bond will liquefy and flow away. If the bond is not heated enough, it will not stick properly to the own hair. Melt from below. 8. Tap the connector twice, this has to be a short and quick movement otherwise the wax will stay on the cold part of the connector. 9. Roll the bond with your fingers. Take care that the hand that is rolling the bond rests on the client s head (palm turned towards the scalp) and that you roll downwards. 10. Seal the wax by polishing the seam with the hair connector, the ragged edges at the ends of the bond should be polished. Melt away the ragged edges with the hair connector. The bond has now become transparent. 11. Polish/heat again if there still are white spots on the bond. Always polish down, never up as you can stretch the bond and reduce the bonds effective holding power. 8
