Tape Hair Extensions Update: What I Wish I Knew, Hair Loss & Pain| Bailey B.

Hey everyone welcome back to the channel. Thank you so much for tuning in today's video is going to be a hair extension update and talking about some things that I wish I would have known the first time I got them in as a little background. I'D probably have these in there more tape and extensions have them in for two, maybe two and a half years. I have a whole video talking in depth about the process of getting them, maintaining them every six to ten weeks. What it's like to have them in all of that kind of stuff that I will link to up here. This is really just going to go through some questions that you guys had for me as well as, like. I said those things that I have learned in having these for as long as I have in going to multiple different stylists and things that I've learned from them. So let's go ahead and dive in the number one question I get is about damaged and thinning hair. As a result of getting these put in and taken out for as much as I have - and I actually hadn't had them out for all that long until very recently, where I they were out for a good like week or week and a half but prior to That I really hadn't had a chance to kind of evaluate the health of my hair, because every time I would get an old set or just any time in general, I would get them removed. I get them immediately put back in in the same appointment, so I hadn't really been able to see how it's affected the health of my hair until very, very recently, like two weeks back and I'm kind of surprised to say it felt like my hair - is thicker. Now than it was before I got them put in, I think I mentioned this in the very first video I make, but you do feel like you lose a lot of hair every time you get them taken out and put back in, because any hair that you Would naturally shed on a daily weekly basis, whatever it gets stuck in the glue in your weft, and so it's not gon na come out until you get those wefts or mood as a result, you see a lot of hair shed when you go in for your Appointments, whereas you might not realize it, but you aren't shedding where you don't see what you're shedding quite as much as you normally would when you have them in. So you see a lot of hair, go whenever you get them taken out, but for the most part at least what they have they told me is that it's hair that you've already shed it's just coming out with your extensions, and I honestly do believe that, after Having them out for as long as I did, because this last time, when I had them out, I could actually go in and style and play with my hair. Like I said it, I really, it certainly hasn't hurt the health of my hair. My hair isn't anymore thin anymore damage anything like that. The one thing I did notice actually and it's I don't think it is maybe it could be, but I don't think it's related at all to wearing. My extensions is that my hair has become a little bit more textured. It used to be that my hair was very much like this naturally flat lifeless. I would have some curls or texture around the face of my baby hairs, but if I were to try and like scrunch or put any sort of texturizing spray in my hair, it would get crunchy sooner than it would get develop any kind of texture. But what I noticed in having them out this last time is that when going to the ocean went to the beach swam in the beach - and I didn't wash my hair afterwards - which is definitely a no-no with extensions - don't do that it will affect the texture. So I'm told so I just don't do it, but with my natural hair I decided to leave it in see what the texture did and holy curls. I mean I was so surprised at how much body my hair had would normally like. I said it would just kind of become this thin flat, looking like it like it wants to curl. It wants to do something, but it just can't, and so it I was pretty pleased to say it was actually doing something interesting, which I'm a fan of, but again have no idea. That is that all connected to the extensions in any way could just be how my hair has changed over the course of the last two and a half years, but it was a nice surprise. The other question that I have gotten is about any tenderness. Like does your head hurt when you get them taken in put out whatever the only time I experienced tenderness is if the hair or the weft is placed too close to my scalp, when they first apply them, and that's just because it doesn't give you the flexibility For your hair to like move up and down, and so my current stylist is really good about making sure he's super close, but not so close that it's gon na hurt to like have my hair move for the next few days until it grows out a little Bit that would be the number one source of any tenderness you might experience. Otherwise you really cannot feel them. Otherwise sleeping it's not like. When you lay down, you can really feel them against your scalp they're, so thin, undetectable yeah. The tenderness is really only if and when your stylist will get it too close to your scalp taking them out. I mean you are like trying to pull and remove glue from your head, so there will be some being there, but I haven't really experienced time with a stylist where it was like over-the-top painful and like I had to ask them to stop or change if they Were doing like all the Styles that I've had I've been really aware and conscious of making sure that they're putting enough solution to help dissolve the adhesive and then only when it's nice and dissolved pulling it away. So it really minimizes that kind of tension on your hair and your scalp. Now one of the things that I wish I would have known and the first one is a real money. Saver and I didn't learn it until I found my current most recent stylist, who was amazing. I will link his Instagram down in the description bar below, but when I first saw him, I was getting a new box or two. I have two boxes, so two new boxes of hair brand new hair and I had been told they would last three to four refreshes, basically three to four times getting them taken out and put back in before I had to be replaced and he looks shocked and He was like, if we don't make these last a year. We are doing something wrong, so I had always been under. The impression that I have to buy like the hair is most expensive part. It can be. You know five to six hundred bucks, depending on the length you get and the number of boxes you get, that's roughly where mine are and so ever since then I have gotten away and, and it doesn't affect the look of your hair like it still looks fantastic. You really can't go more than just those three to four reuses before meeting to repurchase, so I only recently like two weeks ago got the hair that I currently have in my head in and for the prep pet mmm past year I had had the same set Before that, I had been totally happy with them so yeah. That was one thing that I was really excited to learn. If you find yourself in the same boat, I would just maybe work for your stylist too, on that third or fourth time that, where you might typically replace them, just have a health check like look at the health of the hair and kind of decide together that It'S got to go or you need to be replaced and maybe ask them if you can go one more round without replacing them because again a year's worth of use - and it was only like the last time that I was like serious kind of on its last Legs, the actual left is thinning. The ends are very split and at that point it had been cut up to my hair's length, so we couldn't really go any shorter with it. That was when we had to replace, and then the other thing that I learned not knowing until I've gotten with my recent stylist about a year ago, is that there are different they're, like multifaceted shades, that you can get. So it's basically putting a high light or a low light in your hair without actually having to color your hair you're, just using extensions. Instead. Before that I had had single tone, I mean there were a little bit faceted, but it was, for the most part, a very monochromatic single tone, and this last are this. Most recent time getting and put in its, I actually have two tones. One is a pretty noticeable blonde. In fact, I hope you can see it here. It'S probably more noticeable. If I pull it up, see like right here, it's it's a blonde, but when my hair is over it, it blends totally into my hair and just gives it a little bit more of a natural like almost ombre or BA Leon's. Look to it, which I love. The idea I thought it was perfect for summer it blends so beautifully into my hair and I avoided having to bleach or dye my natural hair in any way. It was just all done with extensions, which I really appreciate it. So those are really the major things. Are the only things I could think of honestly that that I really wish I would have known going into it besides, that it really is a pretty smooth and straightforward process, especially if you and your stylists are on the same page, but I would be happy to Answer any other questions you guys might have just let me know down in the comments below besides that guys.
