How To Do Feather Hair Extensions

Hi, ladies we're back again I'm Jamie from DNA. This is Braille and my beautiful model today we're going to be showing you how to do some feather hair extensions. So before we get started, I'm just going to go through the basics of what's crucially needed. In order to do these so you're going to need at least one of two basic tools. These are the clamp tools that actually put the bead into your hair, which is what holds the feather into your hair, as you can see, this one's a flat base, one which is for closing the bead, and this one actually has some kinks in it. This opens the bead, so this is how you remove it. That'S how you put it in. If you don't have the one with the kinks, you can get it out with the flat one. It is a little bit harder takes a little bit more work, but it can be done. Second off is this little wire tool. Right here looks like nothing can't get the bead on the hair without this tool, so you're going to need to do this, and this already loaded with my beads beads are very small and they come in alternating colors. So I have some brown ones right here: it's going to blend in better with braylon's roots, as opposed to like a blonde bead or black bead. So we'll get started like that. You'Re going to need a couple Clips, so clip the extra hair out of the way and a nice fine-tooth comb to slice your sectioning out that you're going to need. So, let's get started, I've picked out two different color feathers, a very striped vivid one and a white one, just to contrast against berlin's hair. Now the feathers come in a million colors shades lengths textures most of the time, their color resistance. You can leave them in if you're coloring, your hair, they hold curl if you want to curl them into the hair blow dry, wet shampoo, one through in you're good to go so I've already kind of previously talked with Braylon about where she'd, like the placement of Her feathers, I want to frame her face, so we're going to kind of put him in the end of her fringe, so I'm going to come in and slice the hair right, where I kind of want it, I'm going to leave her bangs down, so you can Hide her forehead. Nobody really likes their forehead, I'm gon na do that. Like I said, you need the clip to clip the hair out of the way, and I can see that this is where I want the feathers to lay right here. So they can kind of pop through through the ends of her bangs. So you're going to come in and take pretty small section almost in a triangle shape, so you can even see just how small of a section I'm taking. If you take a section, that's too big when you put the extension on it's kind of bulky and sticks out and if it's a little too thin, the extensions will slip out so you're going to have to kind of practice with the texture and the thickness of Your own hair to figure out what works the best. So once I've established my sectioning, I'm going to come in with my tool as you can tell there's a larger loop on the bottom half and a smaller loop on the top. So the actual way that you put it onto the hair is you're going to put your fingers through the larger loop grab that section and pull the hair through once the hair is through. You grab the top bead on your loaded tool and slide through now. The bead is on the hair without having to go up against the cuticle which can damage there. So that's why this tool is very essential to putting these in I'm going to go ahead and grab a couple feathers now, because the feathers are quite thin. I like to put at least three in per bead that way. I know with the thickness of the section I've already taken, plus the feathers I'm putting in once. I clamp it. It'Ll be enough weight and girth inside of the bead to withstand the pulling and brushing of everyday maintenance. I'M actually going to mix this one and put a white and two of my vibrant stripes and I push them a little bit higher past the bead. That way, at the same time, I can kind of pull them out and even that now braelynn does a lot of styling to her hair. So I'm actually going to pull the bead a little bit farther away from the root. Have you put your head down? Just a little bit just so, we can see there's a maybe a quarter of an inch space between the actual root of her hair and where I'm going to place the bead. As you can see, I'm holding the section of her hair with one finger and holding the bead in place with the other. That way doesn't slip because I haven't climbed it close. Yet when they come back to my flat tool once again, and I'm going to clamp a couple of times on the edges in the middle just so that I know it's really in there so like I said, I left it away from her root a little bit. So that if she wants to curl and move its not going to pull and create a lot of tension, you don't want to get breakage or anything so giving that little bit of give space will make them a little bit more comfortable and won't hurt. You don't have any soreness, so that's how you do a feather extension. I can do one more just so we can see the process real quickly, so we'll come in and we're going to put another one not too far away. Maybe a little bit lower a little section out a little bit more thing. So you can see the thickness of the section I'm taking once again holding it taunt Lee taking my tool sliding the hair and soft hair isn't steel, so you always want to be soft with it can break now. You notice the feathers have a small arch in them. That'S just how they were placed in the bundle when I purchased them. However, once she shampoos it the first time or takes a curling iron to it, it'll hold the shape that you'd like to see. Give it a little bit of slack at the top clamp down there. We go so, let's just see how that Falls. Once we drop the hair on it, I'm gon na shake your head a little bit Braylon. So we get a natural fall. Beautiful. So now shows a couple feather pieces right by her face. So once again, like I said, you're going to need the essential tools which are the clamping tools, metal prongs, your wire tool to actually put the beads on the beads and a wire comb. You can purchase any of these items that your local beauty supply sort. I would highly suggest going to the counter first and asking for help without just going and buying any thing so real quickly. I'M also going to show you just how to remove one. Just you can see how easy that is to hear a lot of stories of girls trying to pull these out. You don't want to pull them out. You will remove that chunk of hair. So this is the removal tool, like I said, there's a difference between the tool that actually puts it in which is a flat base which flattens that middle circle - and this has circle rings in it, which takes that flat shape back to a circle. So just slide right out: don't pull these out of your hair? You kind of hear it pop back into that circle shape, and there goes quick and easy thanks again for watching.
