IMPORTANT Correct Technique; TemBond® Bonding
Don't roll the TemBond® as in fusion bonding!! Never press or roll the wet bond into the hair when applying. When applying the TemBond®, you allow the bond to form itself for the majority of the body of the bond.
There are a few detailed steps you need to note about how you are applying your TemBond® bonds for your strand-by-strand hair extensions. You'll find it in your instructions but I think a few of you skip over this and then have trouble losing bonds later. We’ll tackle those truly important steps here so it’s as absolutely clear as possible.
| Anytime I speak to someone struggling with the method or experiencing bond loss, it is typically BECAUSE they are PRESSING THE BOND INTO THE HAIR or taking too long to line the hair up. I can only say, practice the method and DON'T do this!!! |
When applying, you are lining your dipped extension bundle with the smaller section of your own hair and allowing the bond to seep through on its own. You are NOT pressing the bond into any of the hair at all. You are gently guiding the hairs together with your thumb and forefinger at the top and bottom of the attachment and at a 45 to 90 degree angle, then lifting slowly and carefully to allow bond to flow toward the root allowing the bond to seep through all the hairs on its own. (It is MOST important that you keep the attachment from slipping after attaching. This means you should place the extension on top of your sectioned hair and hold things quite still for a moment before lifting. You should not be moving the attachment or your fingers once you have set the extension on your hair.) Also, make sure you bond is HOT, on the highest or near highest setting and stirred!!!!

NEVER PRESS OR ROLL THE WET TEMBOND INTO YOUR HAIR WHEN APPLYING! 
You will only gently guide the dipped extension to your own hair, not touching any bond and barely putting pressure at the top and bottom of the area you are attaching.GENTLE AND SOFT ROLLING ONLY AFTER THE BOND HAS SET !!!!
Once you have finished those first steps.. And after the attachment has taken hold, you may GENTLY roll any of the pinched bond around the hairs at the root. You can only do this if the bond is somewhat soft and flexible. If it is hard and you FORCE the roll, you could break your bond and make it susceptible to soaking up water while washing and further breaking up the bond from the inside out.
Soft and hard bonds - After a bond has set, you may, at times, notice a flexibility. When this occurs it will allow for gentle rolling of the body of your bonds. You do not ever want to force rolling of a hard bond but you may force the rolling of a flexible bond.
Humidity does make a difference in how fast your bond dries to accommodate rolling. In very dry/cool air you may get no chance to roll just after placing the bond and thus will want to wait until you have washed your hair and allowed it to dry for many hours before shaping and rolling gently.
In high humidity situations the bond will stay flexible longer, thus allowing for gentle rolling JUST AT THE TIP TOP and around the root while applying. If you like this option better, it may help to warm up the area in which you will be applying or use a humidifier/space heater to increase the warmth and dampness in the air.
