Application Tips

• Occipital Bone: The Occipital Bone is an important part of the first step in a Platinum Seamless application. The Occipital Bone is the bone located at the rear of the cranium; just above where the head meets the neck. In order for clients to have a comfortable ponytail, attachments below the Occipital Bone must be left out.

• Visualize the finished product in your mind before beginning.
• Work your way from the Occipital Bone upward (if the client wears their hair up).
• Do not go too close to the hairline on the sides of the face (particularly with the first attachment above the ear). Allow at least 1 inch of space from the hairline so tapes are not visible when the hair is pulled back

• Make sure no natural hair is pulling when moving the attachments.
• Do not go too wide across the back of the head.
• When the tape is installed too close to the scalp, causing tension and pain, Allow between ¼ and ½ inch between the scalp and the tape.

• Too much hair between tapes prevents the adhesive from properly sealing, and the extensions won’t last as long. If your tail comb can easily fit between the tapes, that means there is too much hair in the section and the adhesive isn’t sealed. Instead, take thin sections (you should be able to see through them) so the adhesive can seal properly.
