Hair Extensions Update / 3 Months

Hi guys today's video is gon na be a hair update. I wanted to wait for the three month milestone with my hair extensions to wait to do the next update. I know some people have requested it in the meantime, but I wanted to wait for that period of time to be over. So I could really give you a good idea of how I'm getting on with the extensions and how long I feel, like they're gon na last, so know that this kind of extension, I've got the great lengths, keratin bonded extension. I feel that there's a special name for it, but I don't know I'll leave any information I can in the information bar below. But this is the keratin bonded extension. So it's actually bonded to my hair they're, not kind of tapes. Are they all bonded but they're easier to remove they're, not tapes they're, not like a weave? It'S not clippings. It is actually individually bonded extensions and they can last from three to five months. I don't think they can last really past five months, so many people to peeler because they start to kind of hang quite low, and so this is the period where some people would be having them removed or reapplied. I thought three months was a good time line. So I've been getting on with them, amazing they are so what comfortable? I can't believe I would total convert. If money was no object, I would be having them probably reapplied every two months just to make them look totally fresh and I would just have them for the rest of my life, I'm so so impressed with that now bear in mind I haven't experienced, having them Removed Jett and any damage that they may have caused I'm fairly confident that they haven't caused any damage, because any of the extensions that have fallen out so far don't seem to have had much if any of my hair attached to them. So I'm fairly confident that they're going to be fairly damage free, but we shall see cause my hair is already in such a bad condition feel like a car. I'Ve got much worse, it was by the time I got my hair extensions fitted. I was kind of like this is my last-ditch attempt to keep the hair that I have whilst it grows out and becomes a bit more even and I'll talk about that. A second for those of you that haven't watched my previous videos before I had like a full-on pixie crop. So for me the damaged element wasn't something they were going to put me off, because I thought what the damage is. My hair further, I'm just gon na, have to go for the crop anyway, because that's the statement hair was in and I feel like it hasn't really damaged. My hair at all and my hair has grown quite a lot, I'm not so mobile about the actual length, because the issue that I had was the short sections up here you can see and it is getting more and more obvious. I feel like I've been hit to go out, but you can see the actual top section here is really quite short compared to the length of the hair extensions it's. This is the one thing that's really bugged me throughout having them he's having to blend this. Really. Quite thick short layer in my hair, which is totally caused by breakage, it was something that happened during my very very blonde phase and I was having my hair colored block blonde and there was a chemical break and then eventually, more and more of my hair broke Because of the damage, so that's why that's there? It'S not like a hair could come wrong, although I'm kind of similar hair cook this in the past time hope keeps reminding me. I once had quite a blunt layer cut into my hair, which was about like this and my hair land. Wasn'T that much shorter than it is right now, so I had similar haircut once upon a time almost on purpose, but this layer was kind of more. I level before my extensions three months ago, so I'm quite impressed with the growth. I didn't really think it grown all that much to be quite honest, and I looked back at the video and I kind of took pictures of the side of my head and thought. No, it has and it's difficult to see when it's gradual and obviously it still feels like a really short layer. So to me, I'm like oh, never gon na grow out, but it has made quite a big difference in the time that I've had the hair extensions. They'Re really easy to look after I've been absolutely shocked. I thought that I would thought I'd hate them. I thought that this was gon na, be a means to an end and I'd find it really uncomfortable and really rotating. I wouldn't be able scratch my head. I just I thought I was going to really not get along with them, but I have them to just help even out my hair, whilst it was growing out, but it's been so so easy. I can't even believe the main things that I thought of pre having the extensions put in were washing it. What I'd have to use I've used normal, shampoo and conditioner at the great length, shampoo and conditioners, really nice, but you don't have to use that I've used all kinds of stuff, sulfate free, not sulfate, free loads of different shampoos and conditioners and with no problems whatsoever. I don't think that it's like cause any damage to the bonds at all. When I, when I wash my hair, I don't have to dry it completely. I had heard a lot about having to make sure that the bonds were 100 % dry before doing anything like going to bed or anything last night, and I left my hair totally as it would be as it would dry, naturally just so that those of you That are interests, not God's sakes. I thought I could totally style my hair and make it look better and make it you know hide everything and all that stuff, but it's not realistic. This is how I've been wearing my hair. A lot of the time like this, but also kind of determined, pinning the sections back here to hide that little section of short hair. But this is literally, I wet my hair. I scraped into a low ponytail and doubled it over nice lips on it, and this is how it dried it's so easy to look after and that's what's completely converts me to hair extensions, it's it's how low maintenance they are, and I've actually had to do less To my hair, since I've happen in than when I had my short uneven, all kinds of all over the place had I had to do something with because it would look terrible on its own, so everything that put me off the extensions initially has been everything. That'S like prove me wrong, and I just I love them so much now they are really expensive. I think that to have what I had done would total around seven hundred pounds, which is monstrously expensive. If they're not going to last you, so I'm gon na try and make these last as long as possible, I'm hoping to get to the five month mark, but between two months and three months I've lost a lot of the extensions. So I can understand why they say three to five months. I think, if I actually did make them last to the five month mark I'd, probably they probably get quite patchy. Although a few of the extensions, I did actually remove myself. If you see here, if I might put my hair down to the side, you can see kind of a whole section that doesn't have the extensions in here and that's because I said growing out and they're getting a bit longer. Oh further down my hair. Normally it's all, I can see um okay, there you go so once they're getting a little bit longer and that's slipping down my hair a little bit if you can see that they are kind of getting in the way, and so when I was putting my hair Behind my ear, I could feel that one there, but when they were really close to my this, the front section of my hair, they were just like there next to my ear, all the time they would pop forward and be really obvious. So all I did was put my straightener over the top of the buns and they just loosened and came out totem bottom and they came out no residue. Anything really really easy again. I can't believe how easy they think so now I have these kind of sections with no extensions in, but I prefer that to having the extensions fall forward, it'll just be enough to see them and feel them all the time. The only other thing that I would say is, if I did have them fitted again, which again it's a lot of money. I'M not saying that I wouldn't because if I could afford to at the time, I definitely would have them fitted again. There are two things that I will yeah. There are two things that I would do. One of the things would be. I want to leave my top layer to grow a little bit longer, so I'm not as aware and there and not feeling like. I have to hide it all the time and it doesn't feel like this is kind of. I know that this was a style for people, but I'm not into it. This is kind of variety bunchy for me, so I've got these when these bits go up there, and this is long I mean I don't know it reminds me of Linda from the wedding singer, but I would also have all of my hair completely dark, because the Main thing - that's annoyed me throughout these three months has been that the bonds are blonde. So in my route, you can see the mare in my roots, which are dark. This is kind of my natural color up here, and you can see them because the extensions that were fitted were blonde. They were like this color and Robert from Russell II and in Leeds actually hand-painted the tops of the extensions to blend them into this. Like ombre look, which is amazing, I really like the color that he created and I haven't had this anything done to it. I know that it's kind of probably needs refreshing, but again I'm quite impressed with the fact it hasn't had to have anything done to the color, so he's hand painted all that section with the same code that he'd put on my roots and that's great. It made it blend really well, but as they started to grow out - and you could see the extensions, the extensions are obviously a contrast to my hats. My natural hair color or the dark hair called the heap on top. So I would go all dark all over. Purely because then the bonds would be darker and everything would blend a little bit better. I feel like at this point where they start to go out. It would be easy to blend them and I wouldn't be as aware of them. So, what's gon na happen moving forward with my hair, because I knew this is you know it's an update, but I've mainly jobs by hair, extensions and really happy with the health. My hair. I'Ve had to leave it alone, which is great for someone like me who can't leave something alone for two minutes. I haven't been able to do anything different to my hair and I've barely put any heat on it, but that's quite normal for me. Is I'm probably going to go darker, I'm kind of it on the scent. It'S all gon na depend on what happens when these come out and where I'm at with the growth of these short sections here, but I think I'm probably gon na go darker all over I'm shorter. Obviously, because this is gon na come out. So it's gon na be shorter anyway, but the actual length of my hair at the bottom section here is to about there, when you consider the length of the hair extensions, there's probably only a couple of inches of length there, but a lot of volume, given that Most of the volume of my hair has been cut really really short. So if I feel that these sections have grown long enough to blend with kind of a bob cut or a shaggy bob, then what I'm gon na do is go darker all over and then shorter, probably back to something more like that. But I was used to and potentially leave it to grow out a little bit longer and have some hair extensions put in again in a few months later, whilst I wait for it to grow out, I'm kind of thinking, I might grow out my hair now, because I'Ve really enjoyed having the length which I didn't think I was gon na. I just thought this was gon na be a means to an end, and then I go back to the choppy Bob. I do really miss short hair. I miss being able to play with my part in and not worry about, bonds and stuff. So I do feel like I want a month or so at least of no extensions just to really enjoying kind of messing around with my hair again. But then, at the same time, when I mess with my cartoon, you get even shorter layers now, so I don't know I mean like 15 minds about what to do with it next, but I'm hoping to get these to last at least another month. I'M thinking it's gon na be quite difficult to get into the song, so I think I'm gon na wait until I really can't stand it anymore and then go to book and it's gon na push me to leave it even longer. But I will come back to you when that happens when I have them removed when I have whatever I have done next. That will be my next update and I'll. Give you kind of a full rundown of how I felt about the entire process of the hair. Extensions and then how to have them remove damage and all that stuff. This is just kind of an update so far. I completely love them completely. If it was within my means out happens the rest of my life, I'm just so comfortable with them, and you can totally just scratch your head. It'S everything that you think would be terrible about them isn't, and you can also get a special gray. I don't know if it's like a specific kind of brush and you can buy it from anywhere but great when it's do sell a brush, which I have that's like duo levels of bristles and I can go all the way through my hair, touching my scalp and Everything and it doesn't catch any of the bonds it's I just. I can't believe how easy they've been if I do half kind of desperately want to change my hair and have them removed and have it short dark right now, just because I'm like. Ah, it's been the same for so long just my personality, so this has been kind of it's been great, and sometimes I love it, and sometimes I'm like I just want to do something different take public before I have them taken out I'll put some crazy color In the bottom, just because I got to but other than that, that's it for this update. If you have any specific questions, if you want me to do kind of a Q & A about the extensions when they all come out, leave your questions below thanks for watching this long and rambling video. I hope it's been useful to some of you may be thinking about getting this kind of extension. I would highly highly recommend it yeah. I will see you guys in my next video. Ah
