Your first extension piece is now done! Unclip your hair and part your strands higher up, about 1 inch from the bottom extension. Repeat the same gluing process. When you have reached beyond the top of your ears, it is time to glue the extensions on the sides as well. You can have multiple small pieces that go next to each other to conceal them more easily. There should be enough hair to mask them so avoid going too high up and close to your hairline.
Congratulations, you have just glued your extensions and have a full head of voluminous locks! Now that you have your glued-in extensions, you need to know how to properly maintain them. As with all other extensions, brushing is one of the most important things that you need to do, the same goes for proper hair care.
Did you know that we have hair extensions maintenance article full of insightful tips from hair professionals? What about washing?

Sewing two wefts together will give you one thicker twice as thick weft but it will also add weight; it may be better to glue wefts closer together instead of doubling up hair wefts. Follow the directions for the brand of glue you are using. Apply the glue all along the top of the weft — where the stitching is located. Wait for a few seconds for the glue to become tacky to the touch.
Place the weft against the sectioned hair and press firmly. You can use a cool setting from a hair dryer to make the glue dry more quickly.
