Easy Half-Up Half-Down Hairstyles | Styling Clip-In Hair Extensions

Hey guys Welcome back, I haven't filmed a hair tutorial in a while, so I thought I would go ahead and include two hairstyles in this video They're pretty easy to re-create. They don't take very long When I first started wearing hair extensions. I would never wear my hair completely straight down because one I wasn't very comfortable wearing hair extensions and two I always felt like you could see my wefts at the back. So I would always wear my hair half-up half-down and I think that's the perfect way to wear your extensions if you're new, to extensions or, if you're, just worried about your wefts, showing in the back I'm going to be doing this on straight hair. But obviously you can do this with wavy or curly hair. I thought I would show you on straight hair because I do feel like straight hair is a little harder to style cause. You do need to make sure you blend in your natural hair with the extensions, and I wanted to show you that, even if you wanted to wear your hair down like straight down half-up half-down, it should be completely fine when we pull our hair back. It'S going to completely cover the wefts and you should feel 100 %, confident wearing your hair, like that in public. One tip that I would give you, when you're clipping in your extensions it's to clip them in below your ears. So that way, you have all this hair at the top. All the hair will completely cover the wefts and again that will just make you feel better. Knowing that your hair is covering the clips - and you know nobody can see them.. So if you want to see this tutorial, then keep watching The first hair style is a twist half pony.. This one's really simple.. It literally takes like 5 minutes or less. The first think you need to do is section off your hair right above your ears and then we're going to pull that back into a smaller ponytail.. You wan na use a clear elastic or something to match your hair color.. Next, you want to make a small hole right above the elastic, and then you want to flip your pony through that hole you just made and pull the rest down. So there you go. It'S such a quick hairstyle, and I think that it looks like you put a little bit more effort into your hair. You know, instead of just wearing it straight down, if you want to do something a little extra. This next hairstyle is really perfect. If you want to hide any clips in the back, because the braids that we're going to do are going to completely cover everything, I started by sectioning off my hair, just like I did in the previous hairstyle. But this time I'm just going to clip the top part for the time being. Now you want to make two regular braids one on each side.. I started buffing my braids right above my ears and then, when I finished, I went back to pull on them a little bit just to make them appear a bit thicker. Now, for this top section, I wanted to add some volume. So I went ahead and back-combed this whole section, and then I took the same brush and smoothed out the top, and I used some bobby pins to pin that hair down in the back.. When you get to this point, you want to pull the braids around to the back, and this is going to cover the bobby pins and also any clips or wefts that you want to be covered. If there's any showing and if you have really long hair or if you're wearing hair extensions and the ends are too long, just tuck them behind the braids and it's going to be fine, I would definitely recommend using the same color bobby pins as your hair.. As you can tell mine are not so you can see them a little bit. I think this is really pretty and it really doesn't take that long. If you want to do some sort of half up half down type of hairstyle, I hope you enjoyed these two easy and simple hairstyles. Leave a comment bellow and tell us what you think. Thank you so much for watching, and I will talk to you in my next video really soon.
