The preparation process is the foundational aspect that every hair extension designer must understand in order to produce consistent, durable results that remain invisible within the clients hair. The Designer Blueprint Vol. 1 covers a range of core lessons including raw ponytail preparation, double drawing, colour customisation for diffused root shadows & strand design from scratch. You'll learn: How to prepare, wash, colour & blend bundles using three different methods Keratin composition & custom shade design How to divide the bundle by length for two different scenarios to increase density & alter the movement How to encapsulate strands individually for the ultimate precision, or in efficient multiple strands & tapes How to remove, organise & rebind every strand through a repeatable system to optimise the lifespan of your sets by 12+ months Strand weight & size aren't guesswork here. You'll understand exactly how origin, length & structure affect your plan before a single strand is even designed. This course intends to share valuable details regarding measurements & why getting this wrong creates problems that no application technique can fix.
