Hi, hello and howdy, my name is erin of essentia aaron and welcome or welcome back to my channel. So today i am really excited because i got gifted a product that i've been dying to try for a really long time. So today we are going to talk all about curly, hair extensions, in particular the curly hair extensions by babonia i reached out to them, because i was interested in trying their product, in particular because of my upcoming wedding. I really wanted to explore different options for giving me more hair. That way i can experiment more with updos or wearing my hair down and not feel like. I didn't have a ton of hair to work with so reach out to them. They were definitely open to a partnership. Everybody know. That'S not gon na. Stop me from giving you guys my honest review of their product. So without further ado, let's jump in so today. I received this in the mail inside your curl confidence love it. We stand the gorgeous packaging packaging with a message will always be with me. I haven't even opened this yet so you guys are going to be with me when we see this for the first time together. Okay, so it comes with a babonia storage bag so where to store your extensions when you're not wearing them, which is really convenient because i'm not gon na lie. I was pretty curious about how that worked. So i got the curly hair 22 inch. 110 gram. Chestnut extensions, so it comes in a so. It comes in a two-sided package. Super cool. I love that um. So what's really cool about these packages is that this section right here is for people that potentially are worried about the color matching system. Babonia has a really cool system where you can actually take a picture of your hair unstyled in natural lighting, send it to them and they will recommend a specific color set that will work best for you. This hair can actually be dyed and colored. So if you are getting one set of colors now but you're worried because you're going to color your hair in the future, which flat bar i might be doing soon, these can be colored as well. But this section allows you to open it see, what's like against your hair and then, if it's not right before you open the entire package, you can reach out to them and they'll, swap it out exchange. Do whatever you need to to get the right color. So this side says open this side. First, this is one of the pieces from your full set. This piece is designed to allow you to see the color curl pattern and quality of your bevonias. You may take it out of this bag, but do not remove the silver bind. You shouldn't wear or style this piece until you decide to keep your set after you've decided to keep your bonus. You can add them to you. You can add this piece to your full set. Please note that once the full set is open, you cannot return or exchange really straightforward, um, okay. So let's dig in look at that all right, so color wise. It'S definitely like it's pretty close like okay, but like can we just i'm gon na be rapunzel with this, i'm gon na love it. Oh it's perfect, i'm so excited now. In order to wear these curly hair extensions. Yes, i could technically take them out of the bag and put them in my hair right now. However, that wouldn't really give you the best full experience because, like if you look they're wonky they're slightly off shape they've been scrunched together in a bag for like their entire travel, like you got to prep these, so this video is going to be primarily dedicated to The prep of these and like the styling of the of the extensions before they go into my hair and then i'm going to do a separate video of me actually putting in the extensions to show you guys how to style them with your hair. So, let's jump into part one where we actually shampoo condition and style these, and then we lie them flat to dry. Let'S jump in first we're going to start by removing the extensions from the netting that they came in as well as the silver and plastic rubber band that hold them all together. Then we're going to rinse the extensions in lukewarm water, i'm going to make sure that they're fully saturated before we go in with a sulfrate free shampoo, we're going to make sure that we cleanse these really well and rinse them thoroughly. Next, we're gon na go in with a moisturizing conditioner. For both of these i use the verb curl line. I wanted to make sure that i used products that i knew. I could trust with these. This conditioner has a really good slip. So after i rinse it, i also squish to condition to make sure that the moisturizing properties are locked in to style you're, going to lay the extensions on a microfiber towel on a flat surface, you're going to keep them really wet and you're going to use a Light hole gel to individually finger coil and set each of these curls. This is definitely something that took a lot of practice to get right. I definitely think that i could get much faster with this. The more that i continue doing it, it's just something: that's awkward, that you kind of have to figure out a good rhythm with in order to get it to work when it's not attached to your actual head. I also made sure to vary the placement of how tight or how far up the hair shaft i chose to do the finger coil, because i wanted to make it look. Semi-Natural and just focus really more on mid shaft down to the ends for where the ringlet actually started. 20 minutes later, and now we wait until they're dry. So this is actually the next day. I just went ahead and let them sit in front of the window to see if the sun could help them dry a little bit. I did notice that they were still pretty damp the following day, but i believe that part of that reason is because the microfiber towel that i styled them on had absorbed a lot of the excess moisture. So they were just kind of sitting. On top of that throughout the evening, so they were like, i would say, about 85 percent dry, so here i'm really just shaking them loose so that i can kind of see how they're gon na hang um. You know i can feel the crunch from the gel and stuff like that, so it's definitely something where they've taken a really good shape, especially after you know, we finger cold them, but they're definitely not ready to be worn. Quite yet. So, in order to speed the process along, i brought in my dyson. I went ahead and just grouped the extensions together by the ones that had four clips three clips and two clips just so that i could get kind of the depth understanding of what they were going to look like with the curls in place. And i just hover diffused over it. I did that for maybe an additional five to seven minutes total at most, and then they were pretty much 100 dry. At that point, these babies are primed and ready to go. They'Re really soft have some solid bounce and i'm glad that i varied up the ringlet coils. That way it looks a little bit more natural but be sure to like comment and subscribe and stay tuned for part two, where we install these thanks.
