❤Hair Extension Update Microlinks I-Tip

Hey guys, okay, so first of all um sorry for the echo um. I don't know how i'm gon na fix that, to be honest, and i didn't realize how bad it was until i started filming this pretty bad. So, first of all, i apologize for not making videos in a while, and i know that i start all my videos apologizing for not making videos and for being on my end. So it's becoming kind of uh repetitive and i apologize okay. So this video is going to be about my current hair extensions that i have installed right now, um, it's nothing too different from what i've normally done, but i haven't done one of these videos in a while. So i think i kind of figured you guys were probably wondering what is going on with my hair. Okay, i'm looking down i'm looking at my phone. By the way i got the um samsung galaxy. Note: 3. I think it is and um it's amazing, i'm like so obsessed with it um i kind of was like getting sick of my iphone um. I love the big screen. They call it like a tablet phone but um, i'm absolutely obsessed with it. So yeah, maybe i'll, do a separate video about my phone. I don't know if you guys would want to see that, but i do not regret um leaving the iphone world at all. It'S the best thing ever, but anyway um i'm going to be on the website. Where i buy my hair extensions and i'm going to get all the information that i can for you guys um the website that i buy all of my hair extension tools, all the hair that i use everything that i need for my hair extensions. I use the website yourhairshop.com um. I'Ve used this website since i was uh 22 since i was 22 actually, maybe 21, even i'm 27. Now that's a lot of years. I'Ve been doing my own hair extensions. That'S kind of crazy time flies so um. My natural hair is kind of a mess. I don't know if you're going to be able to see any strands of my natural hair. My natural hair is probably about this long, i would say um and i keep making the big biggest mistake ever and that is when i've been taking out my hair extensions and usually i've been kind of giving my hair a break um for a couple minutes. So what i do is i take out my hair extensions and for a couple days i will be hair extension less and i just give my hair a break and um anyway. For some reason, i've been cutting my hair at the bottom. I don't know what is like gotten into me. I get like obsessive and so i've been cutting my hair, not a good idea, because when you reinstall the hair extensions, the new hair extensions, you have this blunt hair cut and it's so hard to blend. So what i recommend um, if you are going to take out your hair extensions and then install new hair extensions, don't cut your hair leave it. Please leave it because the past two times, but i i don't know why it doesn't, learn the first time, don't cut it, but anyway i didn't learn and um yeah it's. Finally, since the last time i took them out, which was maybe two months ago about two months ago - i thought these and for but um it. Finally, like the end stopped looking so blunt, it was awful um. So my hair is about this long um. The last time that i ordered, i ordered five bundles and i kind of had like a lot of issues last time that i did my hair extensions. What had happened was i had heard about tape, tape in hair, extensions tape, hair extensions and i got so excited because i never heard of them before so i researched and i researched, and i became obsessed and i taught myself how to install them. So what i did was such a mistake. Please learn from me and i bought um a weft of human hair and the quality of hair was pretty good, actually um and it was pretty uh thick. I think it was double drawn. I forget what brand it was, but i decided to try and make my own uh tape and hair extensions. I bought the tape and i think i was using like toupee tape and i bought that. It says as well and i went online and i just kind of learned how to create and how to make your own tape and hair extensions from wefts and from tape. It was a mess it ruined my hair, it was so hard to do. I thought that it was going to be really easy. It wasn't um, i installed a few and then realized. This is a mess and um the next day. I took a shower with them in actually i installed a lot. I think i installed almost a full head and i took a shower and i'm doing my hair they're, all like falling out, like half of them are falling out and then the other half is stuck to my hair. I had to pull it out. The glue from the tape was still stuck to my hair. I had chunks of hair coming out. It was awful um. I did have this uh. It was like a hair serum that you use to get out the glue. I did have that it didn't really work um out of all my years of doing my own hair extensions with the micro links, the eye tips and the beads. I'Ve never had these issues. My hair was never damaged like this. It was awful bad bad bad. I don't know if it's just because i did it myself um, i'm sure that the actual tape and hair extensions that you do use or that you get professionally done, i'm sure that they would turn out a lot better than what i did. But i did not like the glue and the tape and just having that in my hair, just like it felt like disgusting. I can't even like tell you how it felt it didn't feel good and also with my hair extensions that i've been doing since i do. The individuals um it's just like it feels so much better having individual hair extensions in your hair versus, say, like a weft, it was like hot. It was just like a mess. I can't even describe to you what, if i i don't know if it was just because i wasn't used to it. I don't know what it was, but i did not like it. Okay. So at this point i'm like thinking all right, i didn't like a tape. Tape extensions: i didn't like the glue so then i started researching how to sew in wax, and i started watching a video after video and i'm like i can do this. You know i can weave these wefts into my hair myself and um. So i went to sally's again i bought thread. I bought the needles um and what i had done was i reused the wefts that i had previously used with the tape except i took the tape off so i actually, i i'm not a sewer by the way. I don't know how to sew, but i kind of just went online tried to figure it out and uh. It wasn't very difficult, difficult but anyway, technique that i was um researching and watching. You know i forget what it's called. You guys are probably going to comment below and tell me, but i totally forget what it's called. What it is is, it was using eye tip beads and what you would do is you would bead in like say, like around your head, say like 10 beads around your head and then you would sew in the wefts through those beads like through the hair, that The beads are attached to that makes any sense and the method in this i don't know if it's a new method um, it's a pretty amazing method. To be honest, but anyway it was pretty easy, but since me being so new at weaving and sewing, it was kind of difficult for me to do it myself, um. I think that if i spent more time, i could eventually do it and get it and have it pretty good and tight, but um. I think the biggest issue with me was just having those wefts in my hair and the thickness and like the weight, and they were so itchy and, like i don't know what i did like about, the wipes was that it was thick. You know with the individual. Sometimes it's easier to see that you do have hair extensions in your hair with the wefts. It was just like you had all this extra hair, so i did like individual hair extensions are the way to go. I think they look the most natural for me they're. It'S very easy to do. Okay, so as i'm researching all these other things, all these other methods of um. Installing hair extensions, i decided to go on ebay. I was noticing that ebay, especially in china. They sell hair extensions, a lot cheaper than in the u.s. So i was researching, you know, hair double drawn. I took care because double drawn i took care is thicker than i guess, regular arts of hair, because it's i don't know, and then i was researching the grams and the weights of it, and you know how thick it is, and i get a lot of questions. A lot about how many grams of hair are in my hair, and i i don't answer that question because i don't know i know um according to the bundles that i usually get. I usually put in five bundles of pair and on your hairshop.com. I might say how many grams are in one bundle, but i forget, i think it's like maybe 0.5 grams per strand, i think um, which is pretty thin. So let me go back to what i was saying. So what i did was um. I decided to. I wanted to get the double drawn eye tips, the thicker eye tips, thinking that maybe i would use less strands because they're thicker, so i got really thick not really thick, but i got the extra large actual eye tip beads and i forget what happened but for Some reason i i don't know why i didn't get the double drawn um. I think i was scared to get a new type of hair because of all the money i've already wasted on these wax, and you know what i did was. I just went to my source and i went on your haircut.com and just ordered the hair that i'm used to um, but i had these beads that were like extra large. So what was nice is that the beads, the extra large beads, were really easy to get into your hair because they were so open. The silicone line, the extended length, silicone, lined copper micro tubes. Those are the micro tubes that i normally use that i've used for years and years and years, the ones that i purchased that were different. I think they were four millimeters and then the ones that i normally use. So the opening is four millimeters. The ones that i normally use are two millimeters, so they were double in size. The strands of hair from hairshop.com fits better with, say, like a two millimeter eye tip on micro length, because it's tighter, if you have all this extra room, it's more easy for them to um fall out, and you have to put more hair through the bead. In order for them to stay, does that make sense? Okay, so i um used the extra large beads that i had and i was using that your hair shop, um hair and what i was noticing is that since i had to use so much more hair through each bead, it was less um beads throughout my head, Which means there's less strands being pushed through? I couldn't put as much hair in my head because i didn't even have any hair left, because the beads each individual bead was taking so much hair. So what i started to do a little trick, i was um putting the bead through and putting one string through and then at that point, what i would do is take another bead put it through the strand of my own hair and the strand of the hair Extension and so the new bead is around both and then i will stick another strand through that bead. So i have two beads on one strand of my human hair and there would be two strands of hair extension if that makes sense. So what i was the purpose was to get two strands per one strand of my hair, since i was using so much hair to begin with um it worked for me. I will do a video on how to do this. It'S really easy. You know if you just follow what i just said. I don't know if i explained it very good um, but it helps because i needed the thickness of i just needed the thickness. As you can see, my hair is like even pretty thin right now and um. Since my hair was cut so bluntly, i needed a lot more hair for it to look decent so yeah, that's what i did and i did about maybe like 30 - that way and the rest were just normal um. I would just take a lot of uh. My hair put it through the bead: stick the strand through snip snap, you're, good um, but yeah the past couple months. I guess i was getting kind of tired of the whole method that i was doing and the hair that i was using. I wanted to change and bad idea. It'S like that same. You know. If it ain't broke, don't fix it and it's true. I did. I tip individual extensions 20 inch and i don't even think i cut them they're pretty long. Oh another thing was another reason why i was looking online for new hair is because i wanted to get something longer than 20 inch. I was thinking like 24.. If you go beyond 24, it gets like really ridiculous and the website your haircut.com, the longest eye tips that they sell is 20 inch. So that was another reason why okay, so the hair i chose this time was 1 6, 13 um, 2. 8, a 6 6 13 and then i think i did 1 18 and then maybe two t six slash, sixteen, which is an ombre. It matched my hair, pretty good um. What i did was i dyed my hair uh, maybe a week or two ago, and maybe two weeks ago i did. I wanted to get the ends really really blonde and i did like a few strands on top, but i focused kind of on um, my hair. Obviously is an ombre, but i don't like for me personally when my blonde is really close to my roots. I like a good root, so i just focused. I did bleach all on the ends of my hair um, so i'm liking it right now, and i know what i just said. I didn't i don't like my hair too blonde, but i'm kind of thinking of going a little bit blonder um and going up like a little bit. You can tell that i have a pretty good amount of uh growth right now. So i'm thinking about maybe going up a little bit more just so my hair is more blonde, i'm not sure i don't know so yeah, that's my hair story. My current hair story, um. I want to - hopefully uh not hopefully, but i plan on maybe the next month taking out my hair dyeing my my natural hair versus, because what i've been doing lately is dyeing my um hair with the hair extensions in which is kind of a mess. When you take them out, because sometimes you have um like dots okay, so i plan on taking these out dyeing my hair and then getting the regular extended um silicone the two millimeter beads and just doing what i normally did before uh. Since it's worked out for how many years i'm 27, now i've been doing my hair extensions since i was 21 6 years guys, that's crazy! That'S a little ridiculous! Isn'T it but yeah um! If you have any questions, leave them below. I try and answer all your questions. Um, i can maybe do a hair extension question answer video. If i have a lot of questions and yeah um, i plan on doing another video of kind of an update video where i've been, and i will see you guys soon - bye
