My Weekly Hair Care Routine W/ Hand Tied Extensions

Me trying to find a halfway decent spot to film because we are remodeling. Everything is totally a mess everywhere, but anyways. This video is gon na, be my week-long hair routine. So i'm gon na kind of take you through what i do with my hair on a weekly basis. How often i wash it the products that i use, how i get out of washing and drying the entire thing i do have hand-tied extensions by view extensions, so i'll leave that link for you guys in the description box below they've, been really awesome for my hair, Because the quality is just rad and my hair is very fine, so finding extensions that aren't too coarse for my hair is like a bit of a challenge, usually um, so yeah, let's get into it. I hope this gives you some tips and tricks on how you can make the best out of your hair, the life of your hair after you wash it the best dry shampoo, just the best routine, that i've found so far to keep my hair in tip top Shape and make it manageable and make the styles that i do last, because the last thing i have time for is redoing my hair from scratch every single day. So hopefully you guys enjoy let's jump right into it, okay, so this is day one good morning. We'Re gon na call this monday just to make this video very simplistic. I um woke up this morning. I just took my braids out of my hair and i sleep with braids in every single night. I try not to have it up on top of my head, because then it causes tension on my little wefts and whatnot, i'm going to preemptively put a little bit of dry shampoo in my hair because i had my hair done yesterday. It was washed yesterday evening and i'm going to be going in with the igk first class dry shampoo. This is my all-time favorite aerosol dry shampoo. Ever you could literally put oil in your hair. This will make your hair look like you just wash it, but once my hair starts to get oily, she doesn't stop. So i like to just preemptively: you got ta shake this bad boy up just get some little spritzes all throughout here, and i notice that it gets really oily around here. So i'll kind of just preemptively get this going so that any little bit of oil that came in created itself overnight gets like zapped, so i'll work that into my hair. I also make sure that i don't have any skincare or anything on my hands, because this will get into my hair and because my hair is so thin. This is all extensions, as you guys know, it will start to make it oily so for showers. I have shower caps um. Typically, i will take one of these, so i don't get a dent in my hair a little bit upside down. Oh they're kind of sore today, since i just got done yesterday, get all of my hair up in here and then i'll. Do a very loose twisty guy like this: if your little ends are starting to feel kind of fried down here, i'll leave these bad boys out and condition them in the shower, but today they're clean, so i'm gon na find a bobby pin and put them up. I will be styling my hair in a little bit. It looks like poo poo after being in a braid overnight. I'M gon na do my hair with a waiver one of these bad boys and then i'm using um a uh. This was given to me by product dev, but this is a bumble and bumble. They are not cruelty. Free um, thermal protection mist - and i like to just spray this, basically over each section that i do so. I don't damage my extensions or actual hair. This was like so cute yesterday and now it just looks like boo-boo. I don't know how that happened, but i'm going to be styling this, and hopefully this will last me for a couple days. I have been using my straightener to curl my hair recently because i realized, when i do, that it stays in for like three or four freaking days, and i don't really have to touch it up. Jojo was out all night. How is uh how's she looking her feet? Don'T look good, i think she's doing it outside. Then i don't know what she's climbing up into at night she's, probably trying to get like high in a tree. Okay hair is basically done. We have to go. I'M gon na be using the arctic fox og hair perfume to not only thermal protect but make my hair smell good, so it doesn't smell like burnt hair, because after i curl it or do anything to it, it smells like. I just burned a pile of hair. It is day two, so i refreshed these waves a little bit yesterday. I just brushed through them with one of my favorite brushes. This is the wet brush. I will link you guys to this. This is like my absolute favorite brush, because it has these little guys and then these other little guys. So it's really good for teasing getting through everything, and it just goes right over your extensions without yanking them. If you hear any noise, i have a funny story for you. Um this morning i was outside watering. My plants in my freaking underwear and like a white camisole that was like completely see-through um were that for nick last night, this guy, like is in my backyard. Basically - and it's like hi, i'm like hi and they come up and they like have this paper in their hand and like literally like in my underwear and pajamas, like i couldn't like run away like that, would have been freaking weird. So i go up and they're like we're here to do your hvac stuff today and i'm like what like. What are you talking about? Like no one's told me anything about this, and i was literally about to be late. I had to get out of the house and, like i don't like people in my house when i'm not here rightfully so, i've got all my animals all my stuff, yeah there's like guys here doing hvac today. I have no idea they were coming, so they saw me in my underwear basically. So if you hear anything, that's what's going on out there, okay, so back to hair. To me, this is a little like greasy today, uh, i'm gon na put even more dry shampoo in here load this up a little bit before i style it or do anything i might need to touch up a bit of it today, usually with the um. The waves i do have to touch it up in some places like my hair, doesn't hold the wave as well as the extensions do as you can see. So sometimes i just need to do a little bit, but i might just leave it. This part of my hair tends to like you can see where it gets greasy really quickly. Okay, i think i'm gon na kind of leave it as is today. I thought about doing a little something like this, so i thought about doing a little something like that, but maybe i'll save that until tomorrow, because this isn't greasy enough to have to put it up. Yet i try and do my hairstyles like upwards towards the end of the life of my hair. That'S when i'll probably do like a s like an up like an updo, basically or like a ponytail or something like when this is just like too greasy to manage, and i don't do it before that, because my hair is so fine, it will put a dent In my hair, basically, this is also another awesome teasing comb. I'Ve used this for years, just teasing this to give myself a little bit of body all right. So this is the hair. For today, i'm not going to apply any heat today, because if i can avoid it, i would like to not apply any heat. I will show you how i do my hair every single night, since i didn't film that last night i'll show you that guys that tonight, but it's pretty simple, i just got out of the shower it's time for the hair. So for night time i usually will knowing how tired i am. I will take my brush and brush out my extensions and my hair, and i will kind of like brush along all of my hand-tied extensions, just to make sure that between them, there's not a whole lot of tangling going on. So i just like to give these a nice good brush most nights. I would say i honestly do this probably like two to three times a week. I should probably do it every single night. These tend to get like tangled up in between pretty good and then my baby hairs at the bottom. So i like to brush through all this so again in the back flipping this one up and brushing the hair in between next. What i do is apply oil to the ends of the extensions as well as the ends of my hair, and i am very careful with this, so i don't get any oil on the roots. It'S okay jojo's, so i've been switching between kind of like interchanging interchangeably using them. This is the alter ego, shoe wonder shine elixir oil, i've actually never read what this was actually called. My hairstylist jenna gave this to me. This is a really fine nice mist, whereas the playa ritual hair oil comes out almost like skin care and like a dropper with this one. So i have better control over it. I'Ll usually spray it in my hands and it's just like a really nice oily mist makes smells so good. It smells like um like joe malone like cologne, like a really earthy smell or like la bow. It'S really good um. I make sure to get it on some of these hairs that i know really take a beating and are very hard to grow. My baby hair is back here because these little sons of never grow so try to get the, and i split my hair into like that. So i can make sure i get it all and literally by the morning, even if this looks a little greasy right now by the morning. This is all soaked into my hair, and it has just like drank of the oil. This will help like maintain the integrity of your extensions it'll help. You know the ends stay fresh. Looking next, i pretty much don't ever wear my hair up when i'm sleeping, unless i'm really tired - and i just don't - have the time or feel like doing this. But when you take your extensions and pull them up, you're causing more tension where these are sitting on your head, because it naturally is supposed to lay like this so you're, causing a little bit of pulling, which isn't good for your scalp or the little bits of Hair that are attached to all of these types of extensions, whether you've got a tape in or a hand tied it's just best. It causes more strain on the areas where they're connected to your head and on your head in general. So typically, i like to do a braid, so i'll just do a pretty basic braid. I could actually start this higher. I do have a cowlick up here and so sometimes because this hair is shorter, it'll like separate and do whatever it's going to do. But i'll explain to you guys later in this video, why that doesn't really matter to me quite as much so i do a pretty loose braid, especially if i have curls or you know, waves going on just so. I don't disrupt the pattern as much, but if your hair's straight, you want a little bit of wave, you could do this a little bit tighter. So i'll literally do that and i'll pull down a little bit, so it loosens up even more and i'll put a hair tie on here, and that is how i will sleep with my hair, and these are always shorter, so always come out a little bit. It helps hold the curl, the wave whatever it keeps a little bit safe um. If you just leave your hair down, when you sleep, your extensions are going to be rubbing a lot more they're going to get more tangled, there's going to be a lot more friction on them, they're, just not going to last you quite as long. So it's always a good rule of thumb, no matter what type of extensions you have to do, a nice braid or you can sleep with a sleeping cap on in addition to the braid. That'S not a bad idea, and sometimes we'll even put even a little bit more oil on here. If it's not looking oily to me, because honestly, this will not look like this in the morning like in the morning, your your hair will have already soaked up all this oil and there you have it gon na kiss you it's officially day three. I just pulled my braids out and, as you can see, it didn't really mess up my wave or anything and, as you can also see the ends of my hair and the rest of my hair does not look oily at all um. Even though we put that oil treatment in up here and everything, you can't tell that there was any oil in my hair, my hair, just like soaks it up, so i'm gon na do a little workout right now, so i'm gon na put my hair on top Of my head - and i don't really know what i'm gon na do with it tonight - we'll have to see how it's looking a little later and go from there, but i'm just going to do a quick little bun get my workout done and go about the rest Of my day and tonight, i'm going out with my friend ally, so we're going to see what i'm going to do with my hair. If i'm going to put it up, if i'm going to have to wash the top which i'll talk to you guys about it's. My own little way of prolonging washing all of my hair, i worked out i showered. This is what we got going on. The back is not so cute, so this is what happens as my hair starts to get dirtier and more product in it. It starts to kind of look a little straggly and scraggly, so how i decide if what i'm gon na do is, i will brush it out and see exactly how gross it is and how flat to my head, it is, and i'm feeling it right now. It kind of seems like we might need to do something about it. Let'S see so i might be able to squeeze another day out of this. I think i think i can okay. So with that being said, i'm gon na go ahead and go in with the igk first class dry. Shampoo, i'm gon na shake this up. The front is not super greasy, so today, if this doesn't work, what i'm gon na do is: do an updo or pin half back or do a hat or something like that, but i think this is going to be fine. Sometimes when my hair gets so dirty. It just gets very difficult to manage and deal with in the back, and it doesn't really do what it's supposed to do, even if it doesn't look greasy and it kind of just stays where that's not. You know you need a little bit of movement in your hair, but i also do this weird half hair wash thing that i'll show you guys, which, if you have extensions like i do or hand tights. I think it's gon na save you a lot of time. If it's something you've never considered, but i think we can get through this today, let's have a look. We need some more dry shampoo here. Let it sit for 30 seconds. When i got divorced, i loved wearing this shirt. It says it says i'm going to do whatever i want now, so i'm using this brush to kind of work in the dry shampoo yeah. This is totally gon na work, so i am going to take my heat protectant again, i'm gon na spray, it all over. My hair, let this dry out for a minute turn on my waiver, i'm gon na wave this up here we are after the styling. Everything is looking pretty good. I'Ll have to take a look at it again before i leave tonight, but i think we can squeeze one more day out of this before i do what i always do at the end or the middle of my hair week day. Four, i just finished my workout. I got this oversized scrunchie from target. If i can find it, i will link it for you guys and i'll link something similar, but i am loving these. These are so freaking cute. Here'S a good look! What we're working with now! I know that i am ready to. I could probably actually get another day out of this if i was going to wear it up, but i don't want to wear it up tonight. I want to wear it down. So basically, my goal is to wash everything. That'S here and on top of my head, my real hair, and then i don't wash my extensions. It takes a very long time to wash and blow dry extensions. So if you're on a tight time schedule, this is going to be awesome for you, it looks ridiculous, but basically i pull up all my hair around where my extensions are it's. Basically, the crown of my head hold these up like so, and i think i'm actually going to wash these guys the tape ins today, because they were looking a little yellow against my hair and then i'll also leave this portion out, because this gets a little crispy. Also, i also leave out this these bottom pieces because these really get crispy too. Usually, i have a little bit more down here, but she put this row kind of low this time because we're remodeling our kitchen right now. I don't have a sink with a removable head, which is usually what i would use, i'm just going to do this in the shower, and i'm going to do a purple shampoo. Now this is kind of where one of the reasons i haven't been coloring, my hair. Lately is because this is the method i've been using and if you have ever colored your hair, you know that if you wash just this, your extensions in your hair are going to be off. The color is going to be off and you're going to have to basically like redo it a lot. So what you can do is put a little bit of color in your conditioner. If you want to freshen it up to match your extensions. This is also a great way to be able to purple wash your hair if it's a little yellower than your extensions. I'Ve been using the arctic fox, resurrected, shampoo and conditioner. This is very hydrating good for damaged hair or i've been using the um kevin murphy. Hydrate me rinse hydrate me wash so i'll usually do the shampoo on my head and then i will do the purple shampoo. I don't know where the other one went. I'Ve been using shimmer lights, um from sally beauty and then also vanilla. I think you can only buy this if you're a pro, but i'm sweating, my ass off in this freaking robe, so i'm gon na go take a shower! Oh just sneezed, okay, so this is what we have i'm taking this brush and brushing this out. Sometimes, during this, like a little bit of this gets wet, but not much of it. This is like way faster, and i will say that if, since i just got my hair done, if i did have a kitchen sink right now with a removable faucet, i would be putting a hair mask in and leaving it in probably for about an hour. But since i don't have that, i haven't been doing it very often, but i'll show you what i've been using lately. I have been using this guy right here. This is the moroccan oil. Restorative hair mask repair mask okay, so there's three things i'm gon na put in my hair right now. First is something in my hair. Hairstylist gave me this is the pravana intense therapy, leave-in um? You have to kind of shake this guy up. You miss this. Basically, like all over, so i'm just gon na kind of do it everywhere and then i'm going to brush it in and to help with a little bit of the yellow control as well. This is the wow color wow color control, purple toning styling foam. So i'm gon na shake this up and use a little bit of this and just work it through this hair. My hairstylist jenna also gave me this. This is the kevin murphy body mask leave-in plumping conditioning treatment, so this goes basically all through the roots. I'M kind of like sectioning, i would use a heat protectant right now for wet hair, damp hair, there's some that are only for dry hair, some that are for damp hair too. However, all of mine are in nashville right now, i'm going to try the mondo hydro mania conditioning mist, because this is like really hard to like brush through right now. We are ready to blow dry a lot of times i'll blow dry like if i want my hair to have body, and it's going to be laying this way all right. Here'S what we have look at that that's a lot of volume for me i'll, usually find my part like this, and i will do a little bit of round brushing, especially back here. I have a cowlick, so i got this random round brush on amazon, so i will put this on low, so i will take out my extensions and typically i'll, let these air dry, but just to get it going because they do get a little bit wet by The roots - sometimes, i will just kind of get in here and get a little bit of the roots. My arctic fox uh, og, original grape uv hair, color protectant. I can't believe i can't remember that, but i like had to look because i was like geez. That'S a long name, and this is going to um, protect my hair from uv rays and that's it until later and now you can have basically five more days or four more days of your hair three more days. However, whatever you know, everyone's hair is different, but now i've just bought myself more time until i have to wash all of this. When i wash all of this, i do that probably every two weeks which might make you cringe, but i don't sweat all over it, and i mean if it needs it before that i do it, but basically i've just bought myself three more days of hair without Having to dry all of this, because this takes a very long time to dry, it is day five. So yesterday i pretty much just wore my hair down in like a little clip and it wasn't too greasy. I didn't add any dry shampoo and today i would be wearing it down, but i am a little bit late to go meet my friend uh for uh. Happy hour, so i just threw it up in this oversized scrunchie and we're just gon na call it a day, because i just don't have the time to re-do any of my little. You know crimpy things, but the hair, my hair, as you can see, is not greasy at all. It'S really holding up super nicely and i think we're gon na make it through the full seven days without having to wash this twice, which is awesome. It is day six on the hair excuse. I have a pimple right here that is such a painful spot to get a pimple holy hell, okay. So what we're working with back here is a little bit of a disaster and there's two ways i would handle this. We'Re getting a little greasy put some dry shampoo in it or actually you know, i would wet this and like re-blow dry it, because it's a little kinked and stuff back here like when i sleep on it, and it goes like this there's no coming back from That unless i blow dry it because my hair is so fine, but what i'm gon na do is put some dry shampoo in it in case. I want to wear it down tomorrow, so this is what we got in the back now. I'M gon na wear it up today, though, just because i don't really want it down at the beach we're gon na use the arctic fox og, hair, perfume just to uv, protect, delicate hairs. This is the style for day six and we'll see what we're working with tomorrow day, seven okay, so my hair is like not super greasy, but it definitely is very crunchy and one of the reasons why is because i went to the beach yesterday also, please excuse My sunburn, my face is one color. My chest is a different color because i went to the beach. My hair is a little crusty from the beach. I didn't really get it wet, but it definitely got some sand in it and stuff. So i'm gon na actually wear my hair in a ponytail today and that will be kind of the end of this week's hair, and tonight i probably will be, or tomorrow morning be washing it and doing a very deep mask on it. I'M gon na add just a touch of dry shampoo to the front here, so this looks cleaner than it is this. One tape in right here has been a little bit harder to hide than i would want it to be, but i want to get my hair down next, we'll have to reposition it a little bit. It is so freaking hot in this bathroom. I want to say it's like 82 degrees. Let me use this type of hair tie. I'Ve been liking these for my hair because it is extremely hot outside today i am not going to bother curling my ponytail at all and it doesn't look super cute, but i have a feeling it's just going to get ruined anyway, so i'm pretty much gon na Leave this, as is one last thing, i'm gon na do just like teasing that to get a little bit of body and then curl these out and that's pretty much it. That is the end of my week-long hair, routine and um.
