How To Maintain/Take Care Your Hair Extensions At Home

Hi everyone welcome to my channel today, I'm going to show you how to maintain your hair extensions. So just like real hair hair extension does get dry and split ends. So if you can trim them every couple of weeks, it will help to keep it nice and shiny and healthy. So I have trimmed my hair with a clipper about half an inch of the length, and now I'm going to go in it with a texturizing shears to add in some layers then blend it in with the rest of my hair, hi everyone, and today I'm going To talk a little bit about hair extensions and how to do a proper cut to make it look most natural, so I myself have hair extensions in my hair. The shortest length of my hair is pretty much here around there ish and it's very fine, as you can see, and my hair would never look this volume without the hair extension. So I've been wearing hair extensions for the past 9 10 years, but they're not dangerous. They'Re not harmful to the hair, it is done properly and if it's removed properly so um. Those of you who are scared of getting hair extensions just find a really good hairstylist that you trust, have a thorough consultation with them and let them know and talk to them so that you feel confident and what you're getting just like buying insurance. The same thing for hair: if you have a hair stylist who explain to you and teach you and guide you throughout the way, then you feel safe that you're being cared for so for extension, the reason why extension doesn't look real or look like the hair is Either two reasons one is too thick. So therefore, when it's too thick and heavy at the bottom, it looks like a mermaid. You look like you have hair that doesn't blend in with it with your head, but you can have fine hair up here little hair, and then you have a massive volume down here. So that's another way that it doesn't look natural and the second way is that it's too thin. Why is because people don't want to spend a lot of money on the hair, because I know it's expensive, but when you don't put it in enough, it looks very striking. Those are two reason why the extension doesn't look natural. So, therefore, when you do hair extension make sure it's about the same volume as your natural hair plus the half right so therefore make sure that you don't get too much and then you're wishing your money and you don't get too little that it looks like you Did got hair ascension, but it wasn't finished so today what happened was I cut my hair with the Clippers? So therefore, the ends are very blunt now. What I have in me is fusion hair extension, meaning every individual strand so with hair extension. Like this, I don't recommend you to cut it blood like this okay, this is considered as a blunt. The reason why is that when it is cut blunt, the shrine of hair separate itself from the rest of the hair reason being because it's so heavy, therefore it just becomes one piece. So, as you can see now, if you look carefully, you can see the end of literal pieces of extensions in my hair, and that does not very nice. So the way I like my extensions to look it's like more with the soft advance so that it blends them with my whole haircut so right now, I'm just gon na show you how much my hair looks. Okay, so yes, it looks full for those of you who wants this look, but you know once you go outside and then start it in windy. You will notice that your hair will clump together and then it will divide itself into individual individual pieces that makes it doesn't look so natural. So therefore, what I'm going to do is gon na show you how to soften the ends so that it looks like your own hair as opposed to hair extensions. So what I would do is I will divide my hair. Hey, I'm gon na pick this up out of the way, so I'm gon na take every single strand of hair and I'm gon na use the texturizing shears, so the texturizing shears are the one that has the small teeth. So what I'm gon na do is I'm going to take every single strand and just soften it. So see how blunt this is. I'M just gon na drop in on a day. You know if you're going on a vertical, it's gon na create a line. Therefore, people don't know diagonal, it doesn't so see how it's much softer on the ends. So by having this, it will blend in with my hair a lot more because there are layers in it. So therefore, you can't tell where it stops, whereas these one, you can see how blunt and heavy they are. I suppose so this one is a lot more softer. So what I do is I do that to every single strands. So, on a day you know I'm just going to at all right and drape. Oh you will tell by a good scissor. Is that when you drag it, it doesn't tuck your hair. If you cut it and it tucks the hair, it means you need a better. A better scissors, if not when is the dull scissor, it will cause split ends and it's gon na mush, the hair and the hair will not grow out healthy, so continuing on. So once one piece is finished, I put it to the side and then I'm not do it very quickly. The rest, okay, so see how I feather the ends up, but you can't see the weight at the bottom, so I'm just going to do this. For the rest of the hair, just to speed up, I'm gon na do more of a few strand at a time, but I suggest you to do one by one at home until you're really confident and with the technique then do more pieces at once, because a Wolf thumb is that you can always cut more, but don't cut too much that you have nothing to tie for. You can't go it back, I'm going to then all this out. The end are a lot more softer. Then the one that have not been done so see so, therefore, if you are going to do this technique of feathering at the end, make sure you leave extra lengths. Let'S say if you want this to be at this after, when is soft and out leaning touch rise, then make sure you leave that length extra so that when you texturize the ends, it will actually go to this length. If you cut at this length and then you texturize it, it will go about half an inch or shorter. So if length is a issue for you make sure that before you touch rise, you leave extra length so that wouldn't the texturizing takes a bit of the hair off. You won't be shocked to see it a little shorter. My studies are done, see the ends. Look! A lot more softer - and I miss one right here - you can tell right away if you miss one, because the blood is really heavy at the bottom, so so that is pretty much hold it back. So you see how much softer the ends are when it's up and then you can definitely soften as much as you want the higher up you go on the texture, I think the more layers you will get. Okay, so not only that just takes the weight out of it and also give us some layers as well, and I'm gon na put this aside cuz. This is death, and then I must see then put this to the best and I'm going to see. If I need any softening here, just find where your pieces of expansions are and check, there's on there and it's I'm here - this is also a great way for you to trim off your extensions as well. If you wear them after a couple of months and they get really dry, you can never be use the texturizing shears just to clean up the end, so that is not so drying. That extension looks healthy, so continuing to soften the end. So those of you who, like it but at the ends, but there's nothing wrong with that. I just personally, like my more wispy, it looks like I'm grow out, look as opposed to a freshly cut, look just checking if there's anywhere else that happened, and you think this nope that looks quite good and then this side - and I think that is looking good. I just see Tang over here, I'm just gon na turn that, because, if I were to rip it out, she's gon na cost us it ends up and that's how to make your extensions blend in with your hair a lot better see how the ends are. A lot more feathery, it looks more uniform with the rest of the hair. So those of you who want your ends or not with a pure net look - and you can definitely use this but just make the hair more lifted. Because when the bottom looks thick, the top looks flat and when the bottom looks soft and lightened and then the top little fuller. So that's how it looks when it's done there's a piece here I can soften so as you soften it. As long as you see its feather out, like you like it, and then that's good enough okay, so I think that looks good. You can check on the side, see how it looks like there's one pieces right here. That'S a bit thick so see how chunky that looks right there very chunky, I'm just going to soften that, okay. So what I do is, I hold her little bit further away and I just touch right there going down and then it softens up remember to do it on an angle so that you don't get a straight line across and that's it
