My First Time Installing Microlinks/Itip Extensions Deatiled! Ft. Curlsqueen

Oh, my god, this is my first time ever having anything like this. That was this versatile um. I'Ve had clip-in hair. I'Ve had things like that, but this is my first time having extensions like micro links and i love it. So hey beauties welcome to my channel and in this video i'm going to be showing you guys how i grew my hair overnight using micro links, so i just wanted to show you guys a quick texture shot. This is my natural hair. To be completely honest with you guys, my hair texture did not match these micro links, um curly, but they were bomb in a blown out state. I just want to say that so for future reference, if you are going to be ordering micro limbs, clip ins, any type of curly hair extensions, just do your research, so you can try to get the closest texture to your hair texture because it's going to save You a headache in the long run, but this is my natural hair. I'M loving the puff, i'm loving the fro. I might go back to her because she was loving me in this video but anyway. So i'm going to be talking to you guys about my foundation for these micro links. I do go in and session my hair in fours. It just helps for partying and it's a little more convenient when you are doing this on yourself. So throughout this installation. I did have my boyfriend help me. Do the back and you guys will see the clip of that later. But when you're pardon this for yourself on yourself sectioning, it is something that will make it way less stressful. So now i'm just going to be going in with my first two sections. First, and this is where i'm going to part out my front lever, my perimeter - and this is just a bad look of what i was talking about, because my hair wasn't a natural state. I thought why not leave out more perimeter, because i can do ponytails buns and things like that. So this is um. I want to say the night before, but you guys are watching this. So, who really knows what not it is, but my boyfriend did take care of the back for me. Thank god. You guys it is okay to ask for help to relieve you for some stress, because i could not see the back, and i was so thankful that he was like babe. You know i got you, you know. Let me let me do a little something with these hands because baby, but this is just his technique. Um. The way he fed in the hair on the beater was different from where i'm gon na do it later on on this video, but for someone who's learning how to do it on someone else, i feel like this is a great example of what you can do. He took his time and separated my hair in sections that were not too small, but not too big for the beads to slide in. He did this like twist and twirl method to get my hair through the feeder, and i thought that was very convenient because he does have larger hands. So that's his method to get it through the um beater. So that's a quick look of it right there and then he just slides the bead through and then once you slide the bead through. That'S when you take your eye tip and slide it in the hole of the bead. So within the bead you have your strand of hair and the eye tip now to get it to be, you know, secured you, take your pliers and you just not gently, but you firmly squeeze it, and this is what we were able to do with it. I think, like an hour and 30 minutes, he kept saying it was way under two hours but um, because we started at night. I was a little tired, so we went ahead and stopped um very full um and i think, within the back i maybe used like 50 or less my eye tips. So this is the next day i got up. I was like you know what i'm gon na. Do my own hair in the front because i'm not gon na, let my man just do my whole head and i like, i did nothing so i woke up, and this is where i'm gon na be sectioning out. My middle part leave out and finishing the rest of you know the front side. So a quick tip go ahead and preset out your eye tips. It will help you have to funnel and get it through those bundles - and this is what my middle part leave out - looks like now. My hair is thinner, so i had to leave out kind of like a bigger section of leave out to lay over the eye tips, but if your hair is thicker, you can um honestly get away with a smaller section than this. This is just what i did, because that's what helped me cover it up now. Let'S start some of these eye tips in the front, so sectioning is very important. It really doesn't matter about the parting, but the sectioning is important. You can't have these big old chunky sections and expect your hair and the eye tip to fit through the bead. So you kind of got ta play it by ear, because i had a few sections where i had to go back and re-part it and make it smaller or just redo it entirely, because those little beads, sometimes they can make. You have a run for your money and i'm going to show you guys an example of that. So this is what the it looks like pull it apart from the bundle - and these are the beads and the feeder that it goes onto um. A quick tip. Go ahead and you know throw some of those on there, so you at least have like five or six, and you want to like keep going back and putting beads on the feeder. But that's just what i'm doing i'm going to be sliding this little bead onto the feeder, which is where your hair and the eye tip goes through. So i don't know if you guys are familiar with um like a bead feeder, but you know about your local beauty supply store. We was using back today to put beads on our hair. It'S the same thing, so that's just what they're using to put a bead on your hair with these eye tips. So here's my um attempt. I had to do a few off camera because y'all know how things go when you do something for the first time on camera. Yeah like you, don't want to do right and this one was doing just right. So i pulled my hair through the bead using the feeder and i'm going to slide the bead close to my scalp. I did learn personally and from watching videos. You do not want to get that beat that close to your scalp. You kind of want to leave like a little gap, because for one it helps it be more flexible and for two it causes less tension on your hair. When it's not that close. So once you do that you're going to take your tweezers and just firmly close the bead, that's what seals it to take it out. You will just do the opposite way and um to open it, and i'm be honest with you guys. I won't be doing a takedown video. These are beautiful in it's just. I can only imagine, because my hair gets poofier than i tip hair, and i know it's going to be a tedious process. So um always have patience for with styles like this, because you're gon na need it, and if you can, if you find that doing your hair is peaceful, you will enjoy this, but for the most part, if you're not prepared for a style like this to do It yourself, i say, invest in yourself and go let somebody else do it for you. So here's. My second attempt on camera of and i took, but this attempt is actually a fail. So one thing about these eye tips in the beads. Sometimes you can push the plastic white part. That'S in the bead. That'S actually bendable out with the eye tube. If you do that, it's okay, you can actually put it back in yourself or you can simply just use another bead. So at this point i was like you know what i'm gon na get this i tell through this bead, like you can't tell me i'm not about to get this eye tilt through this bead but um. Let'S just say the bead one and i just ended up getting another bead and um. I was able to put this eye tip on this piece of hair, but in situations like this, don't get frustrated just take your time to figure out what's the solution, because i'm pretty sure like once you actually calm down, you can figure out how to get past. It that's just one of those things when you're doing your hair yourself, we are often faced with challenges, but i believe it's up to us to overcome those challenges and be able to slay these hairstyles. So here we are almost done with the fur. I wanted to come in to show you guys a section of hair that i parted out. I thought i was going to be having a side part, so i left a piece of my hair out for a side part, but coming to find out. You guys. I didn't even need a side part. This is what the hair looks like. I have, i think, 108 eye tips in it came with 200 pieces. I did not use all 200 pieces, i only have in 108 items, and this is how full it is like wow. This was by far my favorite part of the whole install like because my hair texture does not matter. Hair curly. This blowed out state was giving me life. You guys like. I could have done bantu knots. I could have done flexi rods, like oh, my god. It'S just so beautiful. This is a close-up of how the eye tips look next to my leave out, it lays seamlessly, like, oh, my god. This is my first time ever having anything like this, that was this versatile um. I'Ve had clip in hair. I'Ve had things like that, but this is my first time having extensions like micro links, and i love it like honestly. I'Ll probably do this again with my hair texture, because these can last you up to like three months and i'm like man like. I would have these in and i've seen um people's hair where their hair grows out. They have this beautiful new growth and the eye tips are just ready to come out and that's what i thought i was gon na be doing with this hair, but it served this purpose for this install because the blown out stay is so beautiful to me, this Curl pattern is so beautiful to me it just was not my texture, so i'm just going to finish taking out my leave out, you all will see how it looks fully in a like blown out state with my leave out and then after this you will see Me um take out the braid down that i did to kind of help. My hair blend. I did wet the hair off camera and braided it down to get it to be more of like a seamless blend in the curly state, but all in all, you all will get to see all of that in the next couple of clips.
