All About My Babe I-Tip Hair Extensions | Hair Care/Cost/Before & After Of I-Tip Hair Extensions

Hey guys it's Mel here and in today's video I just run this go over my hair extensions and kind of show you through the transition. My heart hair is gon na make today these are actually the great tip, hair extensions, so they're kind of like permanent. I do have another video on clip in hair extensions that I used to wear all the time before I got my permanent hair extensions. If you want to see more about the clip in hair extensions just check out my other video but yeah. So these are the eye tip, hair extensions, so pretty much they're individually placed one by one with a bead on a little piece of your own natural hair. You got the ombre ones to match kind of my ombre hair. I'Ve had these in since June and it's October now, every six to eight weeks. You do have to get them moved up just because of the natural hair growth, but today it's been a while I've gotten mine moved up a few times, and today I have to get them all taken out. She'S gon na die highlight some of my hair and then I will get them put back in in two days. So the reason why she's taking them all out today, it's because after a while that bead on that same piece of hair, needs to be completely taken off and put on a different piece of hair, so that hair can get a break and grow. And so your scalp can be a lot less. You don't want that bead pulling on that piece of hair forever or that's gon na cause like I'll pick traction alopecia, um, so yeah, I'm going in a few minutes to get them taken out, like I said, she's gon na add more blonde highlights just gon na Blend it a little better, so yeah I'm going to take them out and then I will come back and I'll show you what my actual real hair looks like. So I did the clippings for a while and then I just love long hair. So much in my hair, just like slow growth and thin and my best friend got like real extensions. I was like I want to do that, so I saved up money and I got them in. I am in love with them. These are pretty long. These are even a little trimmed great quality hold style. There is a lot more maintenance care for them than clippings, but I'll go over that in a little, so my hair's a little dirty, but since I'm getting it like highlighted, I didn't want clean hair I'll show you, so you can see all the beads um. So you get them placed and they grow out and then every six to eight weeks like I said you get them moved up. So here they are, you can see, there's a lot of them and like the little bead is nice. They match it to the color of your hair. That way, when you have your hair up, you can't really see them and then like even while, you're wearing them, it's naturally gon na be normal for you to fall out just because you know the hair turnover and if it's on, if the hair turnovers on, like One of that bead it is gon na fall out and, like naturally, a few will fall out between your appointments, but I do want to mention that it is a little more expensive and clip-ins and there is more maintenance. So, first of all, you have to buy the hair, and then you also have to pay for the application of the whole head. So my hair, it's real hair and if you take care of it, it can last a year to two years. If you take care of it, so it is a little more expensive. My hair, I think I had four or five packs was $ 500. I know it's a lot and then for a full head application. It was $ 300. The girl I go to is a little expensive, but she does an amazing job and like takes good care of your hair and scalp, so I rather pay a little bit more and get a good quality service then get someone to put them in who doesn't really Know much in ruins my scalp or my natural hair, so yeah, but then the appointments just to get them moved up. Every 6-8 weeks is only between 60 and 80 dollars, which isn't that you can use any kind of hair products. You want to use good quality, hair products, obviously to maintain, but you can use hair conditioners. You can easily and Koreans I use hair mask. I use leave-in conditioners, use dry shampoo, all that good stuff, just like normal real hair. Also, when you're brushing it, you want to be really gentle, you want to use either a hair extension brush or a wet brush. Just so the bristles are more movable and when you go through, they don't catch on the beads and pull them out by accident. So so it's not too much work. It is just a big investment, but over time I think it's worth it, because if you take good care of the hair, they will last a while and it does take a little more time style, your hair dry, it and all that stuff, because you have so Much more hair all right, so I'm gon na go to my appointment and then I will be back to show you my real hair. Alright, guys, I'm back, and here is my natural hair. It actually got really long. I'M surprised how long it is the flame feels like I'm bald. She said, don't worry, you don't have less hair you're just so used to having so much hair and that you don't know what it's like to feel like to have less hair. But my scalp is still really healthy. My hair still feels really soft and healthy, naturally, a thin thin fine hair. So this is what my real hair looks like. So you can see my scalp there's. No irritation feels fine, actually feels it's really nice not to have all that and my head. It'S really weird, especially when I put it in a ponytail, I'm used to having so much and like where's, all my hair, but again it's not that I lost hair. It'S just that I'm so used to having twice the amount of hair. Now that all the pieces are out, I just have to adjust to it, but I'll get them back in in two days. It'S gon na feel nice sleeping and washing my hair and just having normal hair again, alright guys. So next time I will be seeing you is once I have all my extensions and it will look fresh and good to go. See you soon, hey guys. I'M back! Sorry, it's been a few days, I just been really busy and I wanted to show you guys once they were all put back in and my hair was kind of styled and washed and clean and looking pretty for you guys, so you can see what they actually Look like so here is my babe hair extensions back in so she took them off, highlighted my natural hair up here and then put them back in so you can see she gave me some highlights some baby lights. Now I wanted more blonde. I thought she was gon na give me more blonde, but she just did this subtly um. I think next time, when I go back I'll, be like hey, I actually want a lot more blonde up here and then what she gave me so what she said. She can always do on my move up appointments when she just moves him up. She just takes this part of your hair, pretty much and just highlight that and that's all I would need anyways so here they are all put back in I'm so happy to have them back in. So I'm going to show you a back view. So here's the back of you, you can see they blend so well. I just straightened them. I just blew dry them and straightening them. So that's the back view. I just blew dry, my hair and straightened it so yeah. Just a review about the I took hair extensions again, it is more money than clipping, but it's not as much as so in hair extensions. There'S a new stay out there, where they take one big weft and they sell it into your head. Somehow - and you don't have to have all these beads all over your head, but those are more expensive, because every time you get them moved up, it's a big fee. So the reason why the so in hair extensions are more expensive is because my hairstylist told this to me every time you get them moved up it's a big fee because they had to take the whole piece out and put it all back in again, whereas with My hair, I tip extensions. She just has to move the beat up on the same piece of hair it's already on and it takes less than an hour. It'S real, quick. That is the difference with the soin. They are more expensive because you have to get them taken all out and put all back in every time you go, but there is more time in between so mine. I have to get moved up every six to eight weeks, depending on how fast my hair grows with the sew ins, you only have to get the whole piece moved up every 10 to 12 weeks, so there is a little difference where you get more time in Between move, getting your hair moved up, but again it is more money and then the clippings is the least expensive. You just have to buy the hair, and then you clip them in when you want them and you take them out and then with these babe I tip extensions. It also takes more time more time to wash my hair more time to style and dry. My hair, it just takes more time and it also takes more maintenance. So again, you can only wash my hair two to three times a week. You don't want to be washing it too much, because the bead will slip with over conditioning, and you know your hair stretches when it's wet. You can't go to sleep with your hair wet because that's when your hair can tangle and not and your hair can break more often when it's wet and it gets tugged or pulled on. So that's why, when having these hair extensions, you need to go to bed with dry hair. I also go to bed with my hair and a loose braid or a loose side. Ponytail I use scrunchies because they're soft they don't damage my hair dent my hair, but the reason why I go to bed with a loose braid is so it doesn't get tangled when I'm tossing and turning and nothing pools or snags. And again, you also want to care for them like you're they're, your real hair. Now the condition of the hair extension is actually in better condition than my own hair. My hair is like really frizzy and damaged, but you still want to be taking care of them. Even if they're very healthy, shiny, silky smooth, so every time I wash my hair in the shower, instead of using any any kind of conditioner, I use mask a hair mask hair conditioning mask in place of a conditioner, and I put it from like here down on My hair, especially on the ends and use that for my conditioner and it just keeps the hair healthy and repairs it, and when I get out of the shower, I use leave-in conditioner. I use hair products to keep it soft and it doesn't get tangling and all that jazz and they also use heat protectant when I do style my hair and when you get out of the shower and you brush your hair, you want to be very, very gentle Because the brush can snag on one of the bees and rip it out, and you don't want that. So what I usually do is I hold the hair and brush it until it's. You know all brushed through, not free, and then I keep moving up and I'm very gentle around the beads and that's why you got to use a hair extension brush or wet brush with, like movable bristles, that if they do get caught most they're most likely. It'S just the bristle Bend and detach from the bead instead of like stiff bristles that would get caught and like rip it out, yeah, so more money, more time spent and more maintenance with getting them moved up every six to eight weeks. You know taking care of them all that jazz, so it's just your preference, you know if you're on a budget really low budget - and you don't have the time or the money definitely go with the clip in hair extensions. I do have another video on my favorite brand by foxy locks clip in hair extensions, so check that out, if you're in the middle of the road. If you really really want hair extensions and you have a little extra funds and you feel like six to eight weeks - it's just as much as you would regularly go through the salon, I would suggest getting the I tip hair extensions. So again, these are the babe hair, they're, really soft and beautiful. My hairstyles also had the dream capture hair. She loves both again pretty much the same. It was just which one matched my hair the best, so I went with the ombre one that matched my current hair and the babe hair ombre one matched my hair the best. So that's what we went, went went with and my hair stylist doesn't like to dye. The hair extension or tone it or anything just because she wants it to last as long as possible for you and she doesn't want to like damage it or anything that way they can last a year to two years for you, so you don't have to buy New ones so yeah, I hope you guys got something out of this video. I hope it was. I hope it was informational to you, learn something maybe you're on the kind of on the border. Should you get them? Should you not honestly? They give me a little more confidence and not that I don't feel great about myself already and I don't feel beautiful. I do feel beautiful, even without hair extensions, but just having them in makes me feel a little more glamorous and just like when I go out, and I like style, my hair and I just like it's nice having long beautiful hair like I'm, not the lucky ones, That just naturally have long beautiful, natural, healthy hair.
