Trying Out 3C 4A Kinky Curly Micro Links Itips Better Length Hair | Diy Install And Color Tutorial

Hey y'all welcome back to my channel today, i'm trying out some micro links. I did go ahead and order some 18 inch, 3c4a kinky curly links. I only got one pack with the little kit that was like an extra 5.99, so i'm just showing you guys what everything looks like first shot of the bag. This is the hair. I have the loop. I'Ve got the beads and the pliers that come with it. So i do micro links professionally for my clients, but i have not installed them on my own hair in years, so i was so happy to actually try out some micro links that match my texture. So therefore, i don't have to be worried about heat damage or you know different textures in my hair, whenever it rains or whatnot. So i did want to kind of lighten up these a little bit. So i did use some 20 volume developer and some bleach from kenra. I decided at the end once i installed them that this was not the look. I was going for y'all, i'm sorry in my head. I had a completely different look and then once i put the micro links in, i just really wasn't feeling it. So i decided to go in with a dark purple rinse from adore. I think it's african violet. I will show it to you guys at the very end of the video, so i applied this bleach and i let it sit for about 25 minutes until it got to like a copperish reddish brown color, all right now into the good part. So i'm gon na leave in this at real time. Just so, you can kind of get an idea about how long it takes to install your own microlinks. Now i did um y'all. I was so into this new show. I was watching. I did not use a mirror - nothing, i'm literally sitting on my couch watching tv as i did this so excuse these ugly parts, um yeah. It doesn't really matter on my hair that this was a client. This was strongly bothering me, but it's my hair, so it doesn't really matter so you're gon na part out your hair to the size um. According to the micro links i usually use like a smaller neater part. I usually like my micro links to be um. I mean my part to be about double the micro link, so i have enough space for my hair as well as the lean. So basically you part your hair. You go ahead. You put the bead on the loop first and then you put your hair through the loop and pull through and then once the bead is attached to your hair, you're gon na slide. The link in there now be careful because you don't want that link to touch your scalp because it will irritate you and you don't want your knot to be uh so tight that it pulls and irritates. So it's okay to give yourself a little wiggle room. You want that so that way you can manipulate your hair, move it around without it irritating your scalp. So once again i put the bead on the loop first and then i pull my hair through the loop all the way and then i slide the link in and then i use my pliers to clamp it in place. So just a reminder: don't touch your scalp with anything. It will be very uncomfortable and painful for you or your client, so um, that's pretty much all that i'm going to show you guys on here. I don't want to bore y'all, showing you the same thing over and over again, but if you've used micro links before you like them dislike them. Let me know in the comments i'm going to go ahead and show you guys the coloring process. I want to mention that i had a couple of friends help me out at the top. They really helped me out because they rushed they like sped up the process tremendously, so you know shout out to them. This is me fresh out of the shower. Just shampoo. No conditioner because i want to make sure that the color takes so i cut the hair kind of into the shape of my natural hair, because i didn't like that. Like short long look, so i kind of tapered it. You can see it better when it's dry because i cut it dry, so it could keep the shape. So i'm gon na go ahead and add the color and all that all right y'all. So i'm using the adore and african violet my hair is um pretty light in the back and then i went over it with like a dark blue. So i don't know what it looks like now. I'M sure it's saying it's like a greenish color, so i wanted to cover that anyway. So i want this to look basically black and just have like a tinge of purple whenever i go out into the sun, but i'm okay with this looking black, i just really don't want these light tips. I feel like it'll blend a little bit better, because since i cut it, it just wasn't given what it needed to give. So i'm gon na go ahead and apply this all over my whole head, i'm just gon na take this off y'all, i'm just gon na saturate, my entire head, i'm gon na use one bottle uh for each side of my head. Okay, also, if you do not know, i'm on the journey of growing out all of my color hair or previously colored hair, so uh, i had bleached my hair several times and then did like you know pretty calm fashion colors. So i'm in the process of going that out. So that's why i chopped, or i've been chopping at my hair, so much so if you see it going the opposite direction of long. That'S the reason why? Because i'm trying to cut out all of that color i just want healthy hair and, as you know, these semi-permanent don't do anything to your hair but deposit, so there's absolutely no damage. So why y'all watch me work this through my hair. I did want to mention that my store parker jay's haircare, is having a sale. If you're watching this video, it's probably black friday, we are having up to 60 off all of our products.

I might miss them i'll catch it all. No, i don't want to mess with my nails, you're going to use this old towel there. We go yeah when you're doing this. Do this on some of make sure you got on some old raggedy clothes that you don't care about for the old writing towel all in there all right for real this time, bye all right y'all! So i am done. I do have a little filter because your girl is looking a little rough, but i want to show you guys what i'm talking about. I live in texas, so it's very humid and my hair does so i'm gon na stop touching it, but you see that you can see the difference if you look close now from far away. No, but from up close, you can definitely see the difference in my hair in these micro links. So for me it's just really easier for a sew-in or clip-ins, where i don't have to do my hair as well as the hair so um. It is good quality. Hair, it does shed a lot but um yeah. I think it's going to be my last time. Let me know what you guys think so i'll see y'all in my next video
