Hair Hack: How To Cut And Layer Your Hair/ Extensions - Lauren Pope

Welcome back, I've got a good one for you today right, so we're going to do how to apply clip ins, but then I'm also going to show you how to cut in and layer your clip in first up. These are the hair extensions. These are the luxe volume clip ins from Harry hug Gundam. This color is Lauren's and ops, and these are 18 inches. This is how they come in the pack. You'Ve got your sections here. I just take it all out. Some scissors you've got different size wefts with clips on. So that's your largest piece with four four clips on there and they're triple layered. Each weft is triple layered with this lace design. So it's super super flat, which is ideal. We don't want lots of bumps when we rank them in your middle section. You get two of those there's another one, that's to say, then the smaller section and then you've got two these smaller and then you've got four of the single pieces. First things. First, the easy thing for you to do when you're cutting is, if your head straight, I'm going to run the straighteners over my own hair. These are cloud9 straighteners, all right, so we've got smooth hair and I'm just going to in my way around a little bit because I'm slightly awkward to see all right, that's back. I would always use to dry shampoo before playing clip ends to just give you that little bit of extra grip, this one is kind of amazing. It'S the batiste have any volume. There is a really like a formula you have to stick to with these I'm going to show you the way I like to put them in and if that's the way you like to put really great, if not you can move them around, you can always start From the smaller piece pieces going up to the larger pieces, and then I save the single pieces for around the front of my face, you're going to get your two two clip sections they're going to go at the bottom, so I usually start around the bottom of My ear to create a line going across from one bottom of the ear to the other and then you're just going to temporarily clip this top section other way, then using a comb you're going to backcomb the root area where the clips are going to sit. Oh also never got piece brain where you've just back home that acts as such and like an anchor for the clips, really stick into. It'S obviously open up the clips and then push down. Let me show you a back view. Yo got my section across the to back home sections and then it Clips both downwards and then close them. Then you're going to section again so let loose this top bit now. I would usually go around, maybe in its centimeter and a half above the row. You'Ve just done to do exactly the same technique so back home spray, the back home and then get your stuck into clip piece. Now we're going to go for the three clip piece. This is your medium size, so at this pace, we're going to go again, probably around centimeter to half above this time. Remember you need to back her in the middle in the end and but you'll see already you're already starting to conceal your own hair. Second, three clip piece centimeter and a half above that one. This is your last large section now, depending on how short or how layered your own hair is. If your hair is, and if your hair is short and very layered, I would suggest taking your clips as high as you possibly can without them being visible. Just because the higher the clips are the more you're going to conceal those layers, and I think I'm going to go about always that as that 2 centimeters and that amount above that row, I've just done a better mind. Your clips you've now got four of them. So you're back combing needs to be at the ends and then, if not in the middle, but just either side of the middle okay. So now we have our four silver pieces. These are almost sight. I think them, like your face framing pieces, so push your hair down. If you have got a little bit dented and once you've been ripping up and again I'll just run, it straight is over as you've got four. Obviously, it's to each side, you can in your mat and I tend to hold them up and see where I need them, so you can see you're more than like you're going to have a gap of your own hair, they're chunk of extensions. So you want to fill in that gap with these everyone we're going to chop them in after so I'd, say: that's why I'm going to put them underneath so just above the ER and then the next one went slightly above and slightly slanted towards the face. I think when that's all layered that's going to be perfect placement for me, so I'm going to repeat exactly the same on the other side, but you got all your tippin's in so remember, I mention about the root thing. Little root trick, I'm actually going to powder a root onto these front ones. I don't really mind these back one's because you're not going to see you know it's a little bit windy and if it separates here, I just think that's slightly visible. So I'm just going to powder the root once this section and the top layer of clips you see what difference that makes all right. So now is the fun part. Well I say fun fights all sort of scariest parts. It'S at this point. It could go wrong. So I'm going to show you how to do it step by step and it's going to take a little bit of time, but I mean I don't know about you, but I would much rather take my time at something and know it's done right and just go In full hog and then it's ruined and then you've wasted a packer bin. So you need to get yourself one of these. This is a cut and finish hair. Trimmer I've got it from boots. You can go, but it's basic thing: a razor, a hair razor. So it looks like this and either side is a sharp razor, so you do have to be careful. It'S got little ridges, so it should protect your fingers, but I mean, if you're young again a doll to help you with this. I fact, if you y'all, don't even do this get out on to do this, but a star with the font sections. So, as you probably notice your hair just would section your hair before they cut it. So I'm going to do a similar things where you're parting ends, I'm going to run my finger downwards and grab that hair either side. So this section here and then the same on the other side in those sections you're more than likely. If you place in the same way that I have you more than likely got you to two front section pieces and there so you've got your four sections on both sides and start with this side. So you're always running your fingers down feeding where your own hair ends. So mine is around here and you're, going to really gently raise it downwards. You see I'm taking really minimal hair each time. That'S why I'm saying it's going to take a long time. So in again just follow it down and each time you go in just start that little bit lower and you should be able to see already. You got yourself some layers, which is what we wanted. So I'm quite happy with that. So for now I'm going to do exactly the same on this side. I don't know if you can view it as well on this side, most also finds I'm right-handed this sideways. Yesterday than this side, it's like you kind of almost have to go back on yourself. I would still use my right hand to do. It may help when you're doing it to look straight on into a mirror and just grab sections eat the same on each side and just see if they're equal sounds slightly longer. What you're looking for is a real graduation, not okay, instant step so you're going to bring all of it forward now so, where you've laid your clippings, you cause you've got like bits of separations we're just going to blend that now. My way of doing this is take it's one. Big section do the same trick when you've got your fingers and just really gently raise it downwards, with the razor almost like a three-quarter slant like this, you can see already you'll get in that more natural finish. I can see some pieces here need that little bit of lending so to take this, please all! Basically, what you can see by this point just go in visually, any bits you see that stick out just raise them down and then I'm pretty happy with that. Now I think it's sitting like as if it's my own hair, so much better than I see on this side now you're going to repeat the process all over again on the other side, so try and again keep the same level of patience, because I would just Hate for you now to go in a ruin it at this late stage. When is looking amazing so again remember to section off its back Bracey the whole half of this side, the head of the back I'll go and do the same technique again, and I think I'm pretty much done. I'Ve got it laid on the front. It'S choppy the ends, look natural, they don't look blunt or uneven, and you've done that yourself using super cheap drugstore products offer all the details of this below. So I do feel like this is a really good wall for a budget by. I think it's around. I almost have about six pounds, we do it more and but yeah hope you're showing that it is actually quite easy to do all this at home yourself. If you feel like this is a good way to do it. Let me know if you like: it's a bad way to do it. Let me know I'm always open to suggestions and I'm always up for learning new things as well. So if you have tips and tricks for me, let me know - or I hope you like this video - I hope it was useful and I'll see you very very soon.
