Diy Curls, Beach Wave Hair

Hi, my name is trista and welcome to honey locks, diy beauty. So today we are going to do a short little tutorial of how i curl my extensions uh. I did release the other um tutorial of how i install my extensions at home, diy style, of course, because that's how i roll um and yeah nice beautiful, gorgeous locks and uh yeah. Let'S get going, am i oh yeah? By the way i have no idea what to put on this shelf for y'all. I know i put it up so that it looks pretty in my background, but i have no idea what to put up so tell me in the comments what you think i should put up on there, let's get going okay. So what we're going to do is just do a really fast easy, curling uh. These are extensions, are 20 inch, um extensions, they're, not brand new, as you can tell um they're about a month old or so, and they still look amazing, obviously uh. I would hope they would look at after a month. Your extension should last you at least six months um and that's with taking care of them. Obviously, if you, okay, i'm gon na just walk you guys, step by step on curling, your hair, real, fast um. I do have uh three, basically three rows of extension, so i have one uh and then i have my honey locks, which are basically two rows of extensions um. I'M gon na just show you some of the products that i'm using and walk you step by step through it. It'S super easy, um yeah, let's get going okay, so i'm not gon na use a bunch of uh product. A lot of people use um heat protectant. I use chi. I actually really love this milk chi. Not it's not the product that i just am in love with so much, but it's a smell um, but it doesn't seem to leave a residue on my extensions like other ones. Do i personally do not use any um heat protectant on my extensions, i do use it on my personal or my personal hair, my natural hair, which is like super super short. As you can see like look at that, it's horrible. I was not blessed with good hair jeans um, but so i'm gon na use that on my natural hair, but other than that, i don't really like to put much product uh unless i use a oil um or a leave-in conditioner, or something like that on. My extensions, but other than that i do not use anything else and especially not hairspray, do not use hairspray anything, that's drying, anything that has alcohol, don't put it on your extensions okay, so i'm gon na show you some of the products that i'm gon na have To use this is not very complicated, a clip, so you can clip up. I'M gon na work from the bottom left work all the way up, so a clip to hold your hair out of the way um and then i went through - and i didn't know that i was out of my fat or my favorite brushes - that i always buy Because i give them to clients all the time and i sell them, so i have the one that i've been using and in my own bathroom i don't use this on clients. Obviously, and it's got like tape on it and it just looks horrible. But anyway, you guys get the idea. This is my favorite favorite brush. You can get them at looney stores. I think you can get them on wish amazon all those places and they're dirt cheap compared to a looped uh brush. If you guys can see that um. These are super expensive and i don't think they're as awesome, so i just go with the cheap ones and i give them to all my clients as well. I love them darling. Okay, before i get curling, i'm just going to show you explain one thing, so i notice a lot of people. Ask me this question um when they get when they do their hair. They get a line. So i'm just going to try to show you uh on a piece of hair why you get that line. So when you do curl your hair, you're gon na go with the the the band. I guess i don't know how to explain that. Okay, so then you're gon na get a curl, but if i see where the opening of your curling iron is, if i go the opposite direction, so i'm going to show you if i can. I didn't really map this a plan. This video, it's just kind of last minute i got up and i thought i should do a video. So if you go on the opposite direction and go around so if you see it's bent, you're gon na get a crink in that area where you went against it. If that makes sense, i hope it does. I don't know how to explain it. I should have like wrote something out and got this all planned, but it was like. I said it was really last minute: okay, so uh! My extensions are 20 inch um. I don't know how well you guys can see. I'M gon na move up and i have like little mirrors, so i'm gon na be probably bobbling around, but the mirrors i'm using are like itty, itty, bitty and they're far away. So i'm like um i'll, do my best, though okay, okay, awesome. So what i'm gon na do is i'm going to separate. Like i said i have three uh rows. I have the top row um, and so i got my top row here and then my honey locks has two more rows, so i'm actually going to separate those two rows right in the middle. That makes sense and the reason i use honey locks is because i have traction alopecia, which means i have um bald spots throughout my whole head um, so i can't afford to lose any more hair, as you guys saw. Obviously i can't um and honeybox is really the truly the only non-damaging hair extension that is on the market and it's nice that i can just do it at home fast and easy okay. So i'm just going to clip this hair out of the way. I don't see how i have to look down to see what i'm doing so now i just have that one weft uh, the very bottom left, so i'm just gon na brush it and i'm gon na hold on to my extensions when i brush it, i'm not Gon na brush hard, so i'm holding on to the extensions and i'm brushing so this section. I have the pieces behind my ear and then uh the whole weft that goes across the nape of my area or the the nape of my head. Uh, i'm gon na. Do this as one and i'm gon na do split these up into two curls? Okay, so remember i always uh curl, my hair out up and out of the way of my face, uh away from my face, so i'm gon na put this in remember. I don't want to do that crink, so i'm just gon na curl it i'm gon na leave the ends out because we want to give longevity to our extension. So we constantly are putting heat on the ends. Um, we're going to they're just gon na get start getting more dry, they're gon na start breaking off, that's just normal with any type of extension. So i just split those into two little pieces and we are going to curl and when i'm curling i curl and then i open it up and slowly slide it down and then curl back up and i'm leaving those ends out. If that makes sense, oh i should look in this mirror, so you guys can see hey. That makes more sense. These mirrors are so small and i do have a bigger mirror, but it's behind the camera, so i can't even see it so again. We'Re going to put it in the hair in it and then clip and pull down, clip and pull down, clip and pull down and gently. If it's not coming smoothly, then it then redirect it. So that's it! I just want a light nice curl. So this is this is hot right now, if i pull through it, while it's before it's cooled down, um the curl will become looser. If i want it to stay, then i just leave it till it's cool. So again, i'm going to pull this up and out of the way of my face, yeah, i'm sorry. This was just like last minute because i'm really going to put more effort into doing videos for you all. I don't record a lot of stuff. So again, i'm going to put take these this piece into two different pieces: oh and i didn't say about smoothing out the hair so because these extensions are brand new they're like well a month old a month and a half old. I think about that apple. Maybe two months: oh something like that um because they're brand new. I don't really need to slide the the um curling iron through the hair um. But if you did, you would open keep it open, just a slight amount and you would just pull that through and i just smoothed out the extensions. So again i turn around and then i open it and slide down. You keep doing that, leaving the ends out now. You can also put your fingers on it and touch it to see how hot it is. You don't want it too hot and that's going to be good enough, even though the curl isn't really up. This is my bottom length if i leave um, if i do it tighter that'll make the extensions look shorter. If i do it looser and don't curl the top half really um, then it'll make it look longer if that makes sense. Okay, i'm going to pass forwards through some of this because it's going to be boring and again i'm touching it to feel. Is it too hot? I don't want it to be too hot, it's good! Okay! So now i'm done the bottom weft. So now i'm gon na go back in and i'm gon na do the second weft that goes up, which is part of my honey locks and i'm still going to keep the top weft up and out of the way. So we're going to keep that up and out of the way and in total seriously for two honey locks so that you can just go back and forth between them. Oh sorry, uh! So my second weft i'm going to do it in five different pieces. I'M gon na do one in the center and then the two big pieces are the two other sides. I'M gon na split those in two as well. That makes sense, and i wish i could show you guys the back, but so i'm just gon na separate that and then create two more on each side um, but in total, like i was saying, and i'm just smoothing it out a little bit like i said, Keeping it open a little bit so in total um most people have more hair than i do. It'S not so bloody short. As i showed you, it's itty itty, bitty um, you would be able to get away with just buying two honey locks and uh using those and what why the reason i say buy two is because, if one is, you have to remove it clean it up and Then the one that you had that you would use the week before two weeks prior you'd, already put it in your closet or hung it up or whatever you did um and see. I just split those in two, so it's gon na be five in total, like i said um that one's already dry and ready to rock wherever you put it, i generally hang them up on just like a um, a pants, hanger uh. You know the little. I don't know, maybe i'll have to show you um, but if you do have really really really really short hair like me, you will have to watch my other tutorial and i do add an extra weft up here, but just because my hair is so super short And fine and thin - and it's just genetics - you know it is what it is so and in that piece that i said, i'm gon na separate those two into two and i'm holding on when i brush don't yank on your extensions uh. Not only is it uh gives them more longevity to how long they can be stay installed. Um, it's also not putting strain on your natural hair. By pulling on them. I think i didn't use my mirrors right for y'all, but that's okay, yeah! Oh, i can't wait. I love hair. It makes me just feel pretty gorgeous darling, so i'm gon na i'll explain a little bit more about the top wet that i put in to make it so it blends, or it kind of looks like a mullet on me. Just because, like i said my hair is so short, so if you have hair to around your shoulder length, which would be about four to six inches in your nape area, and then this of course would be more inches um from the top of your head. But um then generally you will not need to add an extra weft on it, so i'm just gon na throw that to the back. So now i'm going to do my top weft here, so this top weft. I have adhered it with a special uh special type of uh, hair extension, glue, um and uh adhered it and it usually lasts about a month, and then i remove it and clean it all up and do it again. So when i did, when you do buy a weft of hair um from honey locks, you get the full weft and most of the time you can just cut it in half and that's going to be enough to be able to use for that top row. If you didn't need to put a top row um, so you would get two so just like you do with your honey locks after you use it, you clean it up and you put it away to dry, and then you grab the one that was already dried From the week or the month prior and used that one um, but if you have to do this, you do just the honey locks or, if you just did two honey logs, it's like 500 and it's gon na last. You like a year, if you take care of it and if you do all of them with an extra weft like i have right here and we're going to curl out away from my face, because my hair is so short. You want to curl always out away from your face and i am grabbing some of my natural hair in there um. If you do have to buy the extra weft like i do. I think it's like 700 in total super super super cheap super super cheap for a year of extensions that you could do yourself, that's incredible! Where can you ever do that? Okay? So i'm going to actually do probably six different uh sections over here, so i'm gon na do three from the middle of my back my head. I'M going to do three on this side and three on this side and all i'm doing is i'm separating and feel if it's too big of a section, it's not going to curl as nice right. So i'm going to do that there we go! So that's a nice section, it's not too big. I'M not even really sure how to explain the sectioning of what's too big and what's not too big, i really don't know nope. I ain't got nothing so again: i'm touching it and feeling what it is and the curling iron i'm using is a one and a quarter barrel size, and that means it's beautiful, darling, beautiful, darling, uh, that's the size of the barrel, the diameter diameter diameter diameter. Whatever wait it's early morning, i think it's like 6 30 a.m or something i don't have my phone. I haven't plugged in um, oh yeah, it's pretty early, so another just smaller section, taking just a little bit of my hair, but not leaving it on, because i don't want to curl it because it's so short, if your hair is longer, you would want to curl In there i just want my stick, my natural hair to blend in with my extension, nice and seamless so and now i'm gon na go on to the other half um, like i said, i'm gon na split it down the middle. I was gon na. Do three on this side three on this side, so i'm gon na do that same thing over here, and i think that should be good. Let'S just feel this out here and take a little bit more okay, so that's kind of a big section, but we will be able to get away with it and i'm just smoothing my natural hair out and i forgot to use my scalp protectant or my hair. Protectant, sorry, i'm so bad, no wonder my hair's so crap! She! This hope you guys can see well and i'm just feeling it seeing how hot it is. You'Re almost done already. Oh, i love it. Lava darling, love it darling, okay and i'm going to do the front section, a little smaller than the uh, the section right behind that and that was uh the same on the other side as well. So again when we brush it we're holding on to those extensions. So that it doesn't give tension to your natural hair as well, um gives it longevity for staying adhered or staying attached longer, and this is with any extension that you use yeah it's hard to to do the hair, because my mirror is like itty bitty. It'S smaller than my head, so i'm just feeling that again and this one i'm going to do up and out of the way of my face, so we're going to curl it away from our face and i'm opening and sliding down opening and sliding down. I'Ve been a little rough on that side, the last little bit: okay, okay, that was it it's that bloody, simple, now normally like tomorrow, um when i wake up, because i put my hair in a ponytail when i go to sleep um and then tomorrow, when i Wake up most of these girls will still be there. I might just have to put a few in in the front uh and if there's anyone, that's not looking so good if you toss and turn too much uh. But generally it's just like a few touch-ups in the morning and you're ready to go and off and running so because it's nice and cool now i can brush through my extensions. If i would like and sorry about this brush, this is so embarrassing. It broke and i was like: ah it's still fine. Why do a new one put some tape on it? It still works just fine, i'm so cheap, i'm so cheap. So i just have to get up and try to like look at that. You guys just beautiful, looks oh darling, gorgeous done so yeah there. We go super easy. Sorry, i'm looking in the lens uh camera. Instead of looking at you guys, okay, awesome! There we go yeah. Well, i hope you guys like this. Oh, i feel so pretty now. I just want to look at myself: well, not myself, but the hair yeah. So there you go and like i said it is 20 inches. So it is quite long. I'M wearing a bodysuit! Sorry - and it's too big for me. So it's kind of hangy but yeah there you go okay.
