Hair Weft

Before insertion, you should wash your own hair with Rapunzel shampoo and conditioner. Avoid using conditioner close to the scalp and do not use styling products. Ensure that the hair is completely dry before insertion.

You will need:

This is how:

  1. Create a horizontal parting. Measure and cut the weft according to the length of the parting. Secure the ends of the weft by resealing the edges so that the hair does not detach from the weft. Do this with a small drop of glue or with a needle and thread.
  2. Thread the microrings or nanorings onto a loop or hook.
  3. Take a section of your own hair using the loop/hook. You should feel some resistance, otherwise you have taken too little hair on the hook and the hair may slip out.
  4. Press the ring together using the pliers. Press quite firmly. The micro-ring should become almost flat.
  5. Continue to attach the rings along the parting. The gaps between the rings should be about the same as the width of the hair sections you pass through the rings.
  6. Use hair clips to attach the weft along the parting.
  7. Sew the weft with needle and thread to each ring. Thread the needle through the weft and then through the hair between the ring and the hairline. Sew a chain stitch and move on to the next ring.
  8. Release your own hair and brush gently. And you’re done!

As your own hair grows, so does the weft. Therefore, you need to move the weft up approx. 4–6 weeks after insertion. This is easy and only takes a few minutes. Make sure that the hair is completely dry when reinserting, to minimise damage to your own hair.

You will need:

This is how:

  1. Lift up your own hair covering the weft and secure with a clip.
  2. Lift up the weft in the same way and secure with a clip.
  3. Loosen the strands of your own hair where the micro/nano-rings are attached and let them hang loosely.
  4. Hold the micro-ring with the pliers.
  5. Open the attachment by grasping the micro-ring at the ends. The ring then takes on an oval/round shape again.
  6. Use the tongs to move the ring higher up the section of hair, closer to the scalp, and then press the ring together again.
  7. Repeat for all the rings.
  8. Release the weft and your own hair again. Gently brush your hair. And you’re done!

Removing your Beaded Weft is easy. Make sure that the hair is completely dry and follow the steps below.

You will need:

This is how:

  1. Lift up your own hair covering the weft and secure with a clip.
  2. Carefully cut the sewing thread and pull it off. Repeat for all the micro/nano-rings.
  3. Remove the weft from the hair.
  4. Hold the micro-ring with the pliers.
  5. Open the attachment by grasping the micro-ring at the ends. The ring then takes on an oval/round shape again.
  6. Carefully pull out the micro-ring.
  7. Repeat for all rings.
  8. Release your own hair. And you’re done!

  

This is how

  1. Create a horizontal parting where you want the extensions to sit. Measure and cut   the weft according to the length of the parting.   Secure the ends of the weft by resealing the edges with adhesive or needle and thread,  so  that the hair does not detach from the weft.   
  2. Sew the clips  onto  the weft. Depending on the length  of the weft,   you will need  1-4 clips per weft. Use  enough  clips to distribute  the weight    of the weft as evenly as possible on your own hair.  
  3. Follow  our clip-on guide  on how to  attach   and care  for your  hair.  A clip-on set is a temporary hair extension or thickening, which is used occasionally and should be removed before sleeping, training or showering. 

  

This is how

  1. Part your hair and take a section of it. 
  2. Use this section to braid a tight, French braid. 
  3. Start on one side and braid to the middle.  Secure  the braid with a small transparent rubber band and then braid the hair from the other side. 
  4. Measure out and cut the weft so that it fits the length of the whole parting you created. Secure the ends of the weft using a needle and thread to prevent the hair from coming out of the weft. 
  5. Then with a threaded bent needle, gently sew the weft onto the entire braid. 
  6. Securely attach the ends of the weft. 
  7. Repeat for the other pieces until you achieve the desired result. 

Styling tip! 

As your hair is braided tight to the scalp and then covered with extensions, it takes longer to dry. After washing your hair, you should pay  special  attention to make sure that it’s actually dry  
– a good idea is to section the hair when drying it. This makes it easier to get to the concealed   attachments.

Removing a weave extension is easy. Use smaller scissors.

This is how

  1. Carefully cut the threads that hold the weft in place.   
  2. Repeat the procedure, parting by parting. 
  3. Then loosen the rubber bands that hold the braided hair together and brush through it. 

  

This is how

  1. Create a horizontal parting. Measure and cut the weft according to the length of the parting. Secure the ends of the weft by resealing the edges with adhesive or needle and thread, so that the hair does not detach from the weft. 
  2. Use hairgrips to secure the extension of your desired length to your own hair. 
  3. Put a microring onto the needle, then open the hook.
  4. Take some of your own hair and some hair from the weft using the hook. Then pull the hair through the microring. (You should feel some resistance, otherwise you have taken too little hair on the hook and the hair may slip out.) 
  5. Press the microring together using the pliers. Press quite firmly. The microring should become almost flat.

When removing the weft, use the same pliers as for insertion. The hair should be completely dry. To minimise damage to your own hair, you should never pull on the hair. Follow our instructions to make the process as smooth and easy as possible. It’s a good idea to section your hair in the same way as when you put in  the weft. 

This is how

  1. Hold the microring with the pliers.  
  2. Open the attachment by grasping the  microring  at the ends. The ring then takes on an oval/round shape again. 
  3. Carefully pull out  the microring. 
  4. Repeat for all the sections individually until you have removed all the pieces. And you’re done! 

  

Wash your hair with Rapunzel’s hair care products that have been specially developed for extensions.

  1. Brush or comb through the hair before washing. Using a soft hairbrush, start by brushing the ends and work your way up in sections. Use a soft brush if your hair is straight and a wide toothed comb if your hair is curly.
  2. Rinse the hair with lukewarm water and then apply shampoo from root to tip. Avoiding rubbing. Rinse thoroughly and shampoo again.
  3. Towel dry the hair and then apply a deep conditioning treatment to the lengths. Leave in for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Apply conditioner to the lengths, avoiding the attachments and scalp. Rinse thoroughly.
  5. Let the hair dry naturally or use heat protection and blow-dry on low heat.

Styling your weft 

It may be necessary to trim and style the weft so that the transition between  your own hair and the extensions looks as natural as possible. If you are use styling tools, always put on heat protection. Do not expose your hair to temperatures higher than 180°C. 

Note: curly and wavy hair extensions should never be styled with a heated styling tool such as a straightener or similar.
