Tape In Hair Extensions For Short Hair | "The 'Do Over"

You literally can't even tell that I have a bob. Ya: no, not at all., It's crazy., The power of extensions. Wow. Hi, I'm Julie, I'm 28 years old and I work in the fashion industry.. My hair is the shortest it's ever been um. It'S above my shoulder. It'S almost at my chin. I've had long hair my entire life. About a year ago. I cut it short and it's been getting shorter and shorter, since so I've just wanted to do something different, so extensions seemed like the next thing. Hi. My name is Krystal um. My Instagram handle is @ kmmakeupandhair. I am a salon owner and I'm a Matrix Artistic Educator.. So today we'll be doing a full install of Bellami tape in extensions.. It is important to come to a salon to do extensions if you want them, instead of doing them at home, because the professionals always know best., They would be able to tell you exactly what you need the type of extensions and they will help you reach your Length goals., I don't have much expectations for today. This is my first time getting hair extensions.. I know a lot of people get nervous going through a dramatic hair change, but I'm actually just excited to see what happens., So the process of putting in tape ins would start by the consultation.. The consultation is the most important thing. You would color match the hair. See what their goals are, what your clients density of the hair is the length that they're trying to achieve.. I like that length, a lot. Okay, do you like it like here or do you like this length there.? I think I like that longer length as like the first layer., So I would say like either 18 or 20 inch.. If you do 20 inch, we could always cut it to where you would like to see it. And then let's color match you. So you were saying that you normally get highlights. Yeah. These are pretty long roots for me. Okay.. Usually I like to have like brighter blondes. And you do have like a thicker density, that's awesome.! So what we'll do is we'll look at the swatches we'll pick like two different colors, because you do have like different colors in your hair, so we'll make it look more natural.. So this one has a rooted, and I looked at that only because in the back you do have roots back there.. I feel like it like blends yeah and it blends with like your base. Right.. So I say we do a mix of those two. Okay.. So we'll keep some roots in there so that way, when your hair does grow out, it still looks natural with the extensions and then we'll have those really blonde pieces. Okay. That sounds good Yeah. All right. Awesome. Today, I primed her hair by using the Matrix Total Results. Super Clarifying Cleanser.. This treatment prepares her hair for extensions, and it removes all the oils. Alright. So we did the consultation we color matched her. We decided on the length which is gon na be about like 18 inches. We shampooed her clarified her using the Matrix Total Results, Lengths Goals and now we're gon na go in and start the application.. So we agreed on three different colors that are just kind of gon na blend in her hair.. We have a rooted extension because back here is so dark, and then we have two blonde ones: that'll just blend in with her blonde hair better and when she gets her highlights done. And I'm just sandwiching the rooted one and the blonde one together at the bottom. Just to blend in the darkness - and I'm also gon na use the rooted ones on top so that way when her roots do come in it blends really nice.. The placement technique that I use when I apply tape. Ins is basically going off the shape of the clients head and where they need their extensions to be installed., Also, depending on the client's density of their hair, will also determine how much I would put in and how close, I would put the extensions in the hair.. So I'm just going in and I'm bricklaying her extensions towards the bottom and I think towards the top I'm gon na kind of get them in there closer because she does have very thick hair and it is a very blunt cut.. So what I do is I place the tape on the hair and that determines how much hair the tape can hold. But then I go back in and I just make sure that this is a clean line and that no extra little hairs are in there, because if there's too much hair in between, like it could unstick.. So I'm just going in and kind of cleaning up that line.. What makes Bellami hair extensions different from other extension brands is that their extensions are like top quality.. They are human Remy, hair extensions., And what Remy hair extensions mean is that all the cuticles are laying in the same direction. So that makes the hair like super shiny, tangle, free and overall they'll last, a very long time.. So the hair itself can be used up into about a year, but you do definitely want to go to the salon and get them maintained every six to eight weeks.. So what we'll do now as we'll go in and we'll just blend your like top layer? A lot into it and then we'll give you like a pretty face frame so that way, that's all blends and then we'll cut some of the length.. I feel that you should leave them longer because you can always go shorter, like if it is too much so to get them a little bit longer than the length you want, because that way we can. We just go shorter if needed, but at least you have the length there. Because once they're in they're in., I'm not really cutting your length, I'm just going in and texturizing. It's like such a transition and it's so crazy that this is like possible. Yeah. And it's Not like you wouldn't even notice like if someone that didn't know me saw me, I just have like nice long, hair yeah., I love it.. I like I'm excited for the curls, but I feel like straight. I love it. Too. Yeah. It looks really good straight. Yeah.. So, in order to take care of your extensions at home, definitely brush your hair when it's dry, whether you're just gon na like rough dry, it with a blow dryer or wait for it to dry and maybe just sleeping in like a braid with it or on Some silk pillowcases and just being very gentle with your extensions., It's so pretty. People are not gon na recognize me., No, not at all.. I love it.. It looks like so good. And I gave you some long layers in there. I was blending. Yay, so cute. Oh, my God, thank you so much. You're, welcome., So cute. I knew my hair was gon na be good, but I am just so happy with it. I think it looks amazing and I'm just like so happy to have long hair. Again it's been awhile.. I had no idea what to expect when I came in today, but it was actually such a seamless process. It went a lot faster than I thought and everything turned out. Amazing so., I think her hair looks amazing, like bob, where There's no bob just long hair. It'S beautiful.. Obviously my hair is a lot different than what it was this morning.. It'S a lot fuller now. Obviously, it's a lot longer, even when my hair is naturally long. It doesn't look this full and doesn't have this much volume. So it's really nice to have this.
