How I keep my beads from elevating : - tension : tension equals control. The minute you lose your tension, is the same minute you lose control over your subsection. Keep those hands and tools close to the head! - bead positioning : the weight of the extension is carried underneath your subsection, therefore, your beads should be living directly underneath for security and COMFORTABILITY. - smooth the natural hair : by using my fingers, I gently smooth the natural hair back to zero before I’m ready to pinch that bead flat. - plier positioning : as you can see, I scoot those pliers directly under my subsection and right before I’m about to close them, I rotate my wrist toward me, JUST slightly, doesn’t need to be over dramatic because then you will pull the bead too far away from the scalp. But a slight rotation will keep the bead from causing elevation and discomfort.
