Prepare the First Track

How do I make sure the tracks stay in place?
First, clip all the hair up, leaving a 1/2-inch to 1-inch section across the nape of the neck, as shown in the photo below. Then, using a small toothed comb, back comb (tease) the hair right at the scalp. This will create a "cushion" for the hair extension clip to be secured into. If you have a hard time creating this cushion, apply medium to hard hold hair spray on the area and tease again. It's important that you have a bit of a "rat's nest" right at your scalp. This step may take some practice to get just right.
