Micro Link Extensions First Impressions | By Ahna D

Hey youtubers, I wanted to give you guys a first impressions update and first few days sort of experience with my new extensions, and here they are. Let'S stand up. Stairs can get a full view here. They are 20 inches long and they are from your hair shop. Calm and I will include all the links, including the ones that i bought specifically and everything like that. So these are my extensions and they have. They are four bundles and each bundle actually had 32 hair extensions in it. So i have a total of 128 hair extensions and they are micro link extensions, so i am loving them. I just want to go over my experience for my first few days, putting them in and how they are up to today and kind of just explain so far my impression of these, so they are micro, link and i'll. Show you the back here. So this is what the back looks like um. You can get a little lower for you. There we go um this. Basically, the back looks like you can't really tell that there are not my hair and I kind of like it um they are micro link. So if you look underneath, you can see the links here. I know it's a little bit hard to see it. I should have better lighting, but um you can see here is a strand with a link on it, so they go so I have put them from here all the way up to about here. So in this whole area, there's micro links and then a little bit on this side. I did not put any right here on this side, where I have my short hair. That'S growing out simply because it wasn't really long enough to cover any that i would put there. So i figured i have to wait till next time to include them there, which is sad to me, because i really want this area to be grown out and putting extensions would be a fast and easy way to make them look like they're grown out, but they Unfortunately, can't do it yet um, so let me just go over first, the first day when I put them in I put them in on Thursday, and it took me several hours. I know is my first time doing it. So I'm sure that next time I'll be faster, but it did take me several hours, maybe like four to five um. I can't say specifically how many hours, simply because um so my time is broken up, but it took me a while - and I did put them right next to each other and the rows right on top of each other in that whole section, because my hair is Thin - and I knew if I didn't do that - I would end up having extensions like all the way up here, and I don't want that. I want them to me pretty much as low as possible to be hidden because my hair spin, so i do have them right next to each other, which I know um, is not really what most people would do um unless the hair was thick, which make doesn't Make sense to me simply because if your hair is thin - and you want to have this many extensions - you can't separate them because your hair will run out of hair so um. Yes, they are pretty much all right next to each other and the first day after putting them in, they did feel heavy um. My scalp kind of felt like there was stuff like pressing on it like gunk. I don't know how to really explain it, but since the micro links like kind of um could clean up on your hair and they hold your hair kind of in place, I mean they're away from your scalp a little bit, so they are like movable. But since they're heavy now and your hair feels heavier from the extra hair, they kind of just wait down a little bit and make your scalp feel like. You have stuff kind of stuck there and that's what it felt like the first day or two um and didn't really feel very mobile, simply because my scalp was tender from the new weight so the first few days it was kind of uncomfortable, but not really bad. Not like horrible what I couldn't stand it or I couldn't forget about it. The first night, though my scalp, was super sensitive and is very hard to lay down on it. I had to lay on this side since I don't have any except for like starting right here. So I had to lay on this side of my head in order to alleviate the most pain possible, because my scalp was very tender from having that extra weight and not being used to it and the tenderness lessened each day. And i would say it lasted till about sunday and sunday was the first day when I was okay. They feel fine. There there's no more tenderness, no more soreness, no pain from pressure. I mean if, if i press down on them right now, there there's a teeny bit like i can still kind of tell it's a little bit tender. But it's not like painful, and it's not bad and it's there's no like soreness unless they get yanked or like put a lot of pressure on. So i think that tenderness is kind of going away and i think it might be a few more days for it to be completely gone, but it is definitely better every day um-hmm. I have not washed them yet um. I did tone them like. I showed in the other video for the well at t18 toner review. I did tell men and that toner has a peroxide and I've noticed since wearing them. That split ends have come up in the extensions, and so I was a little bit disappointed with that and I think it's simply open see. There'S one I'm going to cut it off. I think it's simply because um the toner has the peroxide and I didn't do a deep conditioner on them. Afterwards, I only used regular depth, you know everyday conditioner on them and I should have maybe take him a little bit better care of them, but I didn't so split and started showing up. So I was trimming my split ends and then yesterday there's one more yesterday. I decided to do the acid to protein treatment on them to kind of strengthen them and try to prevent any more split ends from showing up, and so I did do that yesterday and they do look better now. However, with the athletic treatment I did have to use warm water to rinse them afterward. It'S and a lot of the toner actually came out like there's some yellow showing through now in the extensions which, unlike I got the toner in and the toner caused. The split ends and to fix the split ends some of the toner came out, so I'm like okay. So next time I tone my hair, I'm not going to use that one that toner I'm definitely gon na use a different method and see if it can protect. My hair a little bit better, so I'm excited to do another review video for that when that time comes, but with that being said with the toner coming out, they do match my natural hair a little bit better. So I guess it's okay for now um. So I haven't washed them yet simply because i put the effigy in yesterday and i was planning to wash my hair today, but i figured i might as well leave them with the effigy in longer as long as possible. Someone wait two more days so basically, i just put in dry shampoo in the top of my hair this morning, since it was getting to the point where it should have been washed, but i decided not to so by the time I wash it, they will have Been in for about a week before, washing so we'll see how it goes at that point, one great thing about these: is they don't taper the volume stays until the end, and let me just show you so right here. My my actual hair is about this long and the extensions add another know, four to six inches or so, but um so up at the top. This thickness is the extensions plus my natural hair, so it's pretty thick now, if you get down to the bottom here, where it's just the extensions, it's still pretty thick like I would say this is even this is thicker than probably my natural hair would be if It was just half of it so still pretty thick compared to my own hair and towards the end it does taper off a little bit and that's mostly only because the extensions are placed at different levels. So the ones at the top are not going to reach. All the way down to the bottom, like the ones at the bottom, are so that's why they taper off the actual aches tensions, don't taper, they have their full thickness, all the way to the bottom, pretty much um. So that's super great because i have seen other reviews of michael link extensions and they do taper off and these ones don't. So i highly recommend your hair shop calm for your extensions. If you want good quality extensions, that don't taper and again i'll include all the information in the description box, i think that's it. For now um i mean i'll be doing an updated video, probably after i've been wearing them for a month and then maybe every month after that, until i finally decide to take them out, but that's it if you guys have any questions about these extensions. Please ask me: i will also include the link to the girl whose youtube I found these extensions from. She has so many videos about question answers of her extensions, all about her extensions, putting the extensions - and she even has a video of that um - just everything, the ones that she buys and things and you can see her hair is gorgeous and she wears a lot More extensions than me, this is only for bundles and I think she was like five or six or even sometimes seven bundles. So her hair is a lot thicker than mine and she does apply them all the way up pretty much to like here. So she has a lot more extensions in her head than I do um, but um she has very gorgeous hair, so you should check her out again. If you have any questions, let me know I'll be happy to answer and good luck with your hair and your extension search thanks for watching
