Alexandra Reeder Hair

I was working with thin sides, my client needing to get her hair up for work and not wanting her keratin bonds to show… 👇🏼

My client actually doesn’t need loads of extra hair put in her sides. She literally just needed those gaps filling WITHOUT being able to see the bonds when she wears her hair up!

And this is where customising your bond to your clients natural hair density and placement matter!

I’m using tiny custom Ktips, hand tipped to match her hair, and placing them on an angle to work with how her hair naturally falls ✨

With work like this you need to be so so so intentional with the hair you’re adding and know why your adding it!

Follow me for the process and reveal tomorrow 🤎

Foil lines at the back of your blondes?! 🫠👇🏼

Have you stopped and questioned your sectioning pattern?!

Just because it’s how you were taught doesn’t mean it’s the best way to achieve results!!!!!!

Your client’s head is CURVED, so why are we taking straight horizontal sections without considering how the foils sit against the head shape?!😅

When your foils aren’t sitting 100% securely, you increase the risk of your foils slipping and getting foil lines

THIS is why I go on and on and on and on about Scalp Pivoting Sectioning!!

You need to understand the curvature of the head and adapt your foil placement to work WITH it, not against it

The difference in the results literally speak for themselves!!

DM me PIVOTING to learn Scalp Pivoting Sectioning and get rid of foil lines finally! 🙏🏼🤎

If your keratin bonds are showing around the sides, then there could be a few reasons for this… 👇🏼

There is more to it than just following the two finger rule!

Your client’s natural hair density is going to be different around their hairline compared to the back of their head.
So we need to use a smaller baby bond!

Also when we are hand tipping keratin strips for our clients we don’t need to go crazy with it!
Too much keratin can mean bulky bonds that are a nightmare to disguise 🙃

THIS is why knowing how to customise for every Keratin Bond client is so so so important!

When you can customise, you can control the size, weight and placement of you’re baby keratin bonds to suit the client’s hair you’re working with

Something I do is use my pintail comb. If I can see my pintail comp through my clients sides when I pull their hair back then I fit my keratin bonds that little fir further back so they are invisible!

We can’t just follow set rule’s anymore!

Grey blending is coming out like a stripey baby zebra 🦓😅

I see the exact same problem with high impact blondes basically everyday!

We dont really question our foil placement, because thats the way we were taught that way but that is what’s called staying in our comfort zone! 👇🏼

Have you actually thought about how your sectioning pattern works with the head shape?!

THIS is exactly what Scalp Pivoting Sectioning does!

I didn’t just create it for bright bright blondes. It can be customised and personalised to the desired results of your client ✨

I can change my weaves, teasing and foil spacing to create completely different results, from bright blondes to soft grey blending

I used the exact same pattern, just slight different techniques to get different desired results

It really is about knowing WHY you’re putting those foils there rather than just hoping for the best

DM me PIVOTING to learn my SPS pattern and start getting more control over your blonde and grey blending results 🤎

These micro rings were just waaaay to heavy… 🫣

This is where understanding natural hair density is really really important! 👇🏼

If you’re attaching too much extension hair to a section that can’t comfortably support it, you’re creating unnecessary tension, which can lead to breakage and in really bad circumstances even potentially hair loss!!!!!

Im not saying all micro ring hair extensions are bad

We just can’t fit the same weight to every single client anymore when our education has come so so far

This is why I love love love custom keratin bonds

With hand tipped extensions, you can control the amount of hair in each bond, creating density matched bonds that are actually suitable for the hair they’re being fitted to ✨

It’s not just about knowing HOW to fit extensions. It’s understanding WHY you’re fitting what you’re fitting!!

EXTENSIONS LOOK WAY TOO DARK?!

This is why you can’t just look at a bundle of hair and know if it’ll match or not…

My client has naturally curly hair, so we’re not just looking at colour. We’re looking at hair texture, natural hair density and how everything’s going to blend together

Because her hair is on the finer side, I’ll be cutting my hand tipped Ktips down into smaller bonds to match the amount of natural hair supporting them

I spent years having curly hair and wearing straight extensions and have also seen how badly fitted keratin bonds can effect your natural hair so much. That’s why im so so passionate about texture’s matching and the bonds being the right size for my clients natural density

That’s why I love custom keratin bonds so so much

It’s not about just fitting more hair. It’s about making those extensions look like they actually BELONG there!!

This is SUCH a big topic in the hair extension industry at the minute, but do we know WHY?! 👇🏼

WHY shouldn’t keratin bonds be fitted too close to the scalp?! 🤨

Your client’s natural hair needs to move!!

If your keratin bond placement is too tight, you’re creating unnecessary tension on the hair, which can lead to breakage and actually even traction alopecia over time 🫣

I’ve literally seen firsthand on my mum, with what this type of hair extension damage can look like!

We need to understand the natural hair’s growth direction, density and allowing those bonds to move comfortably WITHOUT pulling!

Any form of extension but especially keratin bond extensions should NOT hurt when fitted!
