Why I'D Never Recommend Tape In Extensions...

Hi guys welcome or welcome back to my channel. I know i haven't posted in a long long time. Hopefully this is the first video i post this month, as you can see by the title today. I'M gon na be getting ready, while talking to you about why. I took my extensions out or why i ripped them out, but um, i'm gon na start doing my foundation first and then i'll get into like the talking today. I'M gon na use the colourpop foundation that i used to use before, because i think my face or like my shade, has gotten back to the shade. I was because i try to use like darker foundations and they look too dark, so i'm gon na use this one today and usually when, like they look too dark, i've been putting this one on top and it like makes like the perfect match. I don't know if it's like, because i'm mixing it just use this one today back to the old times, but basically so, as you can see right now, my hair is short because i took out my extensions so first i want to get into like how i Felt about the extensions, my extensions i feel like they would have lasted me or like they could have lasted me a few more months. I had them in for two months and i was taking pretty good care of them. I was washing them. I was using like good shampoos, you know like i was basically taking good care of them and they would have lasted me a little bit longer if i didn't rip them out when i first got them done. I was like okay, like yeah, i'm feeling this hair like it's super cute um, it looks natural. It just looks like my natural hair. You know so my extensions were tapings the first few weeks like it, it was going good like you, couldn't see the tape because i don't know if, like y'all know how tapings look like, but they like hide in between your hair. The first few weeks you couldn't see like they weren't visible, like here on the top, because the women like she used like one more row here on the top. So right here you could see the extension basically the first few weeks. It wasn't like that, like everything was covered, you couldn't see nothing like. It was all good. You know like. I was feeling them. I was like okay, like i'm gon na, take really good care of them like well. Okay, whatever and then a few more months went by and like i was cleaning them, i was like because, basically you shower with them, so so, basically, you shower with them, and you wash them like. You would normally wash your hair and condition them literally everything right, and so usually my extensions would get really really tangled if i didn't like condition them right, so i would always use like hello, hello, conditioner. I would always like try my best for them to be the same as they were the first week, and so after a few weeks like i said um, it started just getting like super tangled, and i would let them air dry, because you know you don't want To um blow dry them, and so most of the time i would let them air dry, and i don't know if it was that or if it was like the extensions just being there for a long time, but my scalp literally every day it started smelling bad. If i hadn't washed my hair, like that same day, it would start smelling like that, and i was like okay, like that's freaking, weird um, i'm not feeling these anymore, like i might go, take them off um! I just don't want to have them anymore, because i don't want my scalp smelling like [ __ ]. You know like what the [ __ ] didn't smell, like [ __ ], but you know what i mean. So i would literally tell julian, like babe like smell. My scalp, like it smells so bad and he would be like yeah like why and i'll be like it's because of my extensions. Also one thing i didn't mention when i used to style my extension. I could only strain them because, if like he was on them for too long like you know how like, when you curl your hair, usually it stays like the curler it like stays in one spot for a long time. So i guess it was because of the heat like they would start smelling like burnt like i was like bro what the [ __ ], like i paid so much money for this. For this just to be a [ __ ] like that's when i like started like damn, i don't even want to like strain my hair anymore. There was like the last weeks that i had them. There was like a point where i was like, like i don't. Even want to style it, and i would just put it literally in a bun because i didn't want it to stink. I didn't want my scalp to stink. I was like you know what like this is just [, __ ]. You know i was just over it already. I asked the lady that put them in so basically the price that i paid to get them installed and like the hair, because i didn't buy my own hair, the woman that put them in she was. She was the one that had the hair, so um. I'Ve heard a lot of good reviews about bellamy hair and i don't think she used that um brand of hair, which is why i think i was experiencing all of these other, like like my scalp, like the hair, stinking like it was just horrible right and, like My hair would get tangled really fast and i'm pretty sure it was because it's not it was like a different type of brand. So originally i got them installed for 1.6 k, which i feel like is a lot of money, and i think it's because the woman, because i texted her through my main account on instagram and i feel like she just saw that i had like a lot of Followers she just basically like scammed me because i don't know, like i've heard, a lot of people say that they've gotten like the same installation and like the women giving them the hair as well for a cheaper price. So i was like you know what, like that's. So true, like taping extensions, they don't take that long to like get installed like max 40 minutes. You know, and so i was like okay so like whatever, but i paid the price because i didn't know about extensions too much at the time. I don't know if y'all remember, but i had recently gotten my haircut and so i was like i'm just not feeling the short hair anymore. So i was like imma just get extensions, so i went with the lady i first found and like the closest lady and so um. That'S when i was like okay, like whatever i'ma just pick so actually before that at first she had told me that it was gon na be 1.3, and that was for 28 inches, and she told me i was gon na need two packs, because my hair was Thin right or because one pack looks really thin, so i was like okay, i'm gon na do two packs because she said it'll look fuller, you know like at the end you know, and so i was like. Okay, like let's just do two packs and then i got to the place so i was in mine. I was like okay, i have the 1.3 ready, i'm gon na give this to her and thank god. I had more money that day, because when i got there, she looked at my hair and she was like, like you know, what like it'll, look better with three packs of hair, and i was like like, are you sure like and then she was like yeah? You have really um thick hair, it's not gon na look good. If you just use two packs like three packs will look better and i think it was just her like you know her being like a businesswoman. I guess she just convinced me to get the three packs, so i was like okay do whatever you have to do like. I just need these extensions to look good. That was like the day after i had gotten my hair um dyed from orange back to black and my hair looked hella healthy. It looked really good, like the short hair was just giving you know. Okay, like i was saying my hair, like it looked really healthy. It was just like good, you know, like my hair was all right like i shouldn't have never put extensions on, and if i did, i feel like, i should have put another type of extensions in so she was also telling me that my hair, like the way That extensions are like the extensions have to blend in with your natural hair right. So basically she was telling me if she didn't like trim or like thin out my hair. It would look like the extensions like it was just not going to blend in right, so she also convinced me to do that. So i let her thin out my hair with some scissors and she thinned out all of it, and i was like okay like at the time i was like. You know what it doesn't matter like. I just want these extensions and, like i keep telling y'all like, i just wanted long hair back again right, because i wasn't feeling the shower hair and so um. I let her thin out my hair and before she actually thinned out my hair. I asked her like what was gon na, be the price for um, the three packs and she was like it's gon na be 300 more or like something like that. It was going to be like 1.9. I think, and then she was like uh, but i would give you a discount. You can only pay me 1.6 and i was like okay like good, like i have that money. You know like that's how she also like convinced me to get the three packs by telling me that there was like a discount, but i'm pretty sure it was a regular price. And so i let her do whatever she had to do to my short hair and that's how i feel like it got [, __, ] up and also at the time the back of my hair. It was like super healthy. It was always conditioned like i always used to um condition it really well. I always used to like do whatever i had to do so. My hair would be soft and then, after the extensions i don't know like what was like, if it was the glue that was like [ __ ] with my natural hair, but every time that i would let my hair air dry, the back would get super tangled. Like it would get super dry, it was just a mess like the back would be like fake hair, like barbie here like have y'all touch barbie hair, like that's literally how i felt like so i was like okay, that's kind of like at the time. I was like i don't know if it's like my fault, that my hair is um, feeling like that or if it's the extensions ball, so i would always like tell y'all. I would always condition them really good. I would always make sure that my natural hair and the extensions were conditioned really [ __ ]. Well, because if i didn't condition the extensions well, they would get like hella tangled. I would have like a hard time brushing them like it would just pull my hair out, and so i was like okay in the shower. I need to make sure that i condition them right and i always used to like put a lot of it and i always used to brush them in the shower, and it was like a lot of maintenance to keep um. The extensions in which i didn't mind. You know because, like i chose to have the extensions and i'm the one that is gon na, have to take care of them. Like obviously, you know after i was like noticing that the hair was smelling bad um, my scalp was smelling bad and, like just all of these, like, i don't want to call them side effects because it's not. It was not like. You know like medicine and [ __ ], but like that that you didn't expect you know like i got extensions for me to like feel myself, but i don't even like styling them. I don't even want to do nothing to them anymore, because i don't like the way that they smell. I don't like the way that they look um. I also forgot to tell y'all this i think um, my hair from the top. It was like falling out too much and you could see like the tape ins. You could see the tape ends when i um, when i would straighten my hair or literally when i would just let my hair air dry by itself. You could see the extensions and my buttercup always used to tell me he would be like babe, like cover like put more hair like on the top like brush it the other way. So you won't see your extensions because you can see them, and so for that i would also have a hard time just keeping up with the extensions, because it was just a lot of [ __ ] like, and i think it was because it was tapens. So this one week i got really tired and i was like babe like you know what, like. I just want my natural hair to grow back um the way it was because i don't know if you have followed me for long enough but or followed me when i had long hair, but basically my hair was all the way up to like my ass, like A little bit longer and i [ __ ] it up by dyeing my hair back to black when i was blonde by using box dye. So my hair got really like thinned out and it was falling a lot. And so that's why i cut it, because i didn't want my hair to be falling out. You know, that's why i cut my hair short, but i was telling julian i was like. I just want my hair to go back to the way it was in. Like 20 21, when i had long hair like natural long hair, and i didn't have to be using like nothing, you know like, i just had to take care of it being like shampooed well and like condition well and like just doing hair mask and all of This [ __ ] right, and so he was like. Okay, like just ask the lady if she can take them off for you, so i asked the same lady that i put them in. I was like hey like i want to take out my extensions like him like what's the price and she was like 300 and i was like bruh like 300, just to take them out like that's what she was like. That'S her price for, like the shortest amount of hair and installation combined together, like i feel like she was just texting me. So i asked on instagram i had like made a post because i was like i'm not paying 300 just for her to take them off. She has the solution yeah, but it doesn't take too long. Like i've seen i had seen videos already. I had done my research, i asked you on instagram. Do y'all know anyone or like do y'all know how to take off tape and extensions um easily or like someone who doesn't cheap and a lot of people were telling me like. Why? Don'T you just take them off yourself, like um? You can take them off by just putting like oil on your hair and leaving it like for a few hours or you could leave it overnight and um it'll like just slide right off. So i was like okay, like i'm just gon na, do it myself. So i want to go, buy some um avocado oil, because people were telling me. I don't know if, like people set me up too like, but people were telling me that um you could use like whatever type of oils. I was like. Okay, like let me just get the first one i find so i found some avocado oil. I went to fiesta and i got it. I bought. I bought three little bottles. I was like okay like putting this in i'm leaving it for six hours, i'm taking them off right, and so i was watching videos and, like me, i feel like it was kind of my fault that my hair is now thinned out and it is the way It is because i'm so impatient, like i got really impatient - i was like i just want to take this off like the oil was like just dripping all the like throughout my clothes and [ __ ] and i was like bro like. I don't want to keep this overnight and i don't want to keep this for more than three hours max. You know i was looking up like easier ways to take off tape and extensions, and i saw that some girls. They were like using alcohol like spray on the thing on like the tape in like the glue part of the extension, and they were like just um sliding it right off. So i was like okay, let me try that, and so i went to the back to the restroom and i i had a little spray bottle and i had some alcohol. So i was like perfect, like i'm gon na, do this myself, and so i was starting to do it myself and like the first extension i remember it came off pretty easily when i put the alcohol in but like so. If y'all don't know, tape and extensions is like two parts, so basically, it's like one side has the glue and then the other side. You just tape it to the glue and your hair is in between, like your hair is stuck to the glue you need. One of those uh brushes with the like long sticks. Let me show you so to like get in between the two parts of the extensions you had to kind of like put the brush in between and like go like this, so that the extension was like coming right off right. I had this brush. This is the exact same brush that i used and the first one came off easily. So i was like okay like this is working. Let me just do this because i don't want to spend time just sitting down doing nothing and waiting for this [ __ ] to fall off by itself right and so, and i think that's the mistake i did when taking off. My extensions was that i didn't. I wasn't patient enough to follow what i had to do. You know, and so i was like okay like let me just do this alcohol [, __ ] and some of them were coming off easily. Others were not coming off easily, so i was like bro like i'm already doing this [ __ ] like might as well just you know, do it all. I was like forcefully ripping out the extensions, because i just i was just not patient. You know, like i, keep telling you i was just not patient. I just kept ripping them out until i got to the last piece, and i was like i'm just gon na take these off like finally, and so my hair before i showered it looked a little bit like full. So i was like okay, like it didn't rip off too much hair like some of the extensions when they were coming out like yeah. They had some hair, but i was like at the end i was like. Okay, like it doesn't look too thin, like i'm good, but there was still like residue from like the glue and i still had like not all over my hair. So when i showered - and i like - i put a heather conditioner guys like i don't know if y'all like understand how much conditioner i put on this night just so my hair would not like keep falling out. But when i was when i was putting on conditioner, i was also like brushing my hair, so that um, the knots would just like fall out or like untie or like unknot themselves, but they wouldn't like every time that i would like brush a knot. Balls of hair would fall out like that [ __ ] was so so bad. So i was like damn like my hair felt super super thin guys like super thin like it was just super bad and i came out of the restroom and i was like bro what the [ __ ] like. I have no [ __ ] hair like and i feel like you could still see them sometimes, but i think my hair has like gotten a little bit thicker. Sometimes, when i like have this part of my hair here, you could see like little cracks in between my hair, because i don't have enough hair to like cover everything. Yet i just feel like it's because of the weight of the type of extensions i got um. There'S other type of extensions, like sewing extensions, weft extensions, there's all type of extensions, there's clip and extensions i had been using clip-ins after i ripped out my tape ends, and the only thing i don't like about clippings is that sometimes it's really bulky, and sometimes it Makes like your head look like super big. I just put them on for like a week, and i haven't put them on since this is my thought process. Let me tell you, because y'all are like we're on a facetime call right now: okay, so what i'm thinking is that maybe it's because the summer time like i don't know if it was like the sun like too much heat here in my scalp? That'S why my scalp was smelling. Maybe it was like the summer time you know like because that's when i had put them in in the beginning of june, and i took them out. I don't even remember when to be honest, but so basically i had them on all summer and i think it was because of the sun like made my scalp smell, like that. I honestly don't know, but now what i'm thinking is like what about. Like the winter time, like the winter time, it's always cold, like my scalp, is going to be cold, there's not going to be like too much heat put on my scalp. You know like because of the sun. Obviously, they're still going to be sun, but like not to the point where it's like just heat, all the way into my scalp. So i know on tech talk. I said i was done with extensions, but i kind of want to get wefted extensions. I talked to desiree montoya des if you're watching this thank you so [ __ ] much [, __ ]. You helped me so freaking much also. I barely realized that i had one earring on, so i asked her like what kind of extension she got, because her extension is always like bomb as [ __ ], like you, can never tell where her natural hair ends like that [ __ ] just looks super Bomb, so i asked her and she told me that she uses weft extensions and she uses bellamy hair, which is really good, because bellamy hair is the hair that you want to be using. When you have extensions on. I think i'm gon na get wefting extensions because i'm just done with tapings, like even she told me that tape and extensions were literally her worst enemy and now, like. I can like see why she says that you know like it's just super bad, so i think what i'm gon na do. I know i said i was done with extensions, but sometimes i just like don't know what to do with my short hair. I'M thinking about getting weft extensions but like once october hits, i think, that's when i'm gon na get them, because that's one like fall stars and like it's not too hot, and then hopefully i have them in for a few months so that i don't like keep Wasting my money on extensions, you know, so i think that's what i would do, i'm just like updating y'all to see like what i should do or like. Let me know some recommendations like for hair growth too, like this video is going to be posted way before october, so i have time to like just style my natural hair for some time for like a month. While i get the other extensions that i'm telling y'all so just let me know, like hair girl tips, let me know how to style my hair, like just tag me in videos, if you have, if you follow me on tik tok, i do look at um. You guys video that you tag me in so just let me know like what you guys like think. Let me know your thoughts. I just want advice, you know, and i don't want hateful advice like if i see hateful advice, i'm literally just deleting the comment, because it's my channel and i can do whatever i want, but just a little disclaimer but yeah. Let me know what i should do. Let me know if you think i should like not get the weft extensions like. Let me know the bad like the cons of weft extension. Do you know like like? Let me know if you've had tape ins, let me know if you had weft extensions like. Let me know everything: okay, i'm gon na read all of the comments, but um, i'm gon na finish my makeup and i'll be back i'll. Probably do a little time lapse instead of like just like stop recording, because i know you guys like to see um when i get ready. So probably just do that, but i will be back uh. So i finished my makeup. This is how i've been doing my hair recently um just getting two pieces like curling them up and then um getting one of these little pens, because i don't like bobby pins for this kind of hairstyle because they always fall out. So i use these and i don't really care what color they are, because i just don't care but uh. I just put them to like clip them in and then this is how i style this hair. But thank you guys so much for watching if you're watching to the end of the video comment, a dress emoji but anyway. Thank you guys so much for watching.
