For many hairstylists, the process of pinning wefts can often feel like a daunting task. Whether you're new to hair extensions or a seasoned professional, mastering the technique is essential for achieving flawless results. At Philocaly Hair, we understand the importance of precision and efficiency when it comes to installing extensions. That's why we've compiled a set of invaluable tips to streamline your pinning process and elevate your craft.

 

1. Secure the Foundation

Begin by holding the top of the weft firmly against the head. This initial step sets the groundwork for a seamless application. Utilizing a larger clip, gently move the hair that overlays the previous weft to locate the bead section underneath. By keeping cross hairs out of the way, you ensure a clean and precise installation.

2. Maintain Tension

As you progress along your horizontal pinning journey, it's crucial to maintain consistent tension. Ensuring that each weft lies flat against the scalp is essential for a natural-looking result. Take your time to locate the next bead, ensuring minimal movement or alteration, before securing it horizontally next to the previous clip.

3. Strategize Stacking

Before proceeding to stack additional wefts, take a moment to assess the placement and alignment of each section. Using a mini pin curl clip, secure the exact corner where you want the layers to fold.

4. Embrace Precision

To further enhance stability and longevity, incorporate vertical pins into your pinning technique. Slide a mini pin curl clip behind each bead section, anchoring the foundational weft securely from both the top and bottom. This meticulous attention to detail guarantees a secure and seamless integration with the natural hair.
