cases you will need to comb the section
out so that it looks more like natural hair.
To make this next step easier, you need to
take a damp finger and wet the strands so
that you can smooth out the waves. Be
careful not to get the tab wet, or the glue
will come undone. Allow the section to
dry completely.
Step 3: Combing the Strands
Once the waves are gone and the section is dry, pierce each strand with a
straight pin and pull it through the fibers. For longer sections, like those for
the end of the tail, you will need to
start closer to the bottom of the strand
to avoid breaking the fibers. Repeat the
process until the entire length is unraveled. Don’t worry if you do break some
of the strands, though, as that is normal. For the longest strands of a natural tail, it may work to only comb the
last third of each strand, as the upper
portion of the section will end up covered by the shorter top layers of the tail.
If you find that too many of the fibers
break, try pulling the pin more slowly.
You can also dampen and smooth the
section a second time. Wavy strands
are more likely to snag and break than
smooth ones.
