Always choose tools that are suitable for the specific extension method and attachment being used.
Different hair extension systems require different application equipment. Use the sections below as a starting point when choosing suitable fitting tools.
Ring-based hair extension methods can require specialist pliers, threaders and pulling needles to help guide the natural hair through the selected ring and secure the attachment.
Stick-Tip / I-Tip extensions are commonly fitted using micro rings, while Nano-Tip extensions use compatible nano rings.
Tape-In extensions use pre-taped sections that are positioned around suitable sections of the client's natural hair. Professional tape application tools can help apply controlled, even pressure during fitting.
Replacement tape tabs and other tape fitting accessories may also be required when extensions are maintained or refitted.
Pre-bonded methods such as Nail-Tip / U-Tip extensions require compatible professional fusion equipment to heat and shape the keratin attachment during fitting.
Heat protection shields, sectioning tools and suitable connectors can also assist during professional application.
Weft and weave fitting can require method-specific needles, thread, sectioning accessories and other professional salon tools depending on the technique being used.
General fitting accessories such as sectioning grippers can also help keep surrounding hair organised during application.
Hair extension application tools are not universal. A tool designed for one attachment method may not be suitable for another. For example, micro and nano ring tools are used for compatible ring-based systems, while heat connectors are intended for compatible fusion and pre-bonded methods.
Before fitting, check the extension method, attachment type and instructions so that the correct application tools are selected.
We recommend that fitted hair extension methods are applied and removed by a suitably trained hair extension professional. Correct sectioning, placement and attachment technique are important parts of a professional fitting service.
