    Step 2: Place the first extension facing up, about 1/8-inch below the section, roll the hair over the adhesive and place the second extension with the adhesive facing down on top of the first. Contine this, row by row, to apply a full head for length & volume (roughly 30 complete extensions).

    Step 3: To begin styling, section hair into a t-part. Start at the bottom of the nape, taking horizontal sections. Using a curling iron, place the iron at the root and wrap hair around the rod, setting each section as a barrel roll. Alternate each row with curls facing upwards and then downwards on the next row to achieve more volume.
