Hair Extension At Home Care & How To Wave Your Hair

Hey guys so today, I'm filming this quick little video kind of how to take care of your hair extensions at home, so this video can really be for any type of hair extensions. Obviously I have hand tied hair extensions, but for all of them the goal is kind of the same you're trying to keep your hair as healthy as you can for as long as you can, so you don't have to buy new hair and you're. Also, just kind of trying to make sure that nothing's too naughty because it's hard to get the knots out. So what I've already done today is wash my hair and I've already sprayed it with a detangler put some blowout balm in it brushed everything out. There'S heat protectant in it, but this is just air drying. Since this morning I probably took a shower a couple hours ago, so it's basically already kind of dry, and this is usually when I'll go in with the blow-dryer, just kind of like section everything out and round brush it. That way, I know there are no knots anywhere and everything can lay where it needs to be, so I'm going to go ahead and start round brushing, so I like to get it basically all the way dried before I ever put a brush in it a round Brush at least because a round brush on wet hair is not a good idea. You'Re just gon na get your hair really naughty and a hairbrush stuck inside of your hair. So let's go ahead and start. I always blow dried down, because I want my cuticle to be laying flat. I never liked blow-drying it up like that, at least in the beginning, especially not where like my West are. I definitely don't want to get a bunch of hair knotted up at the top of my left. Okay, so I feel like my hair is pretty much dry. I just wanted to get it in there and make sure like at the top, where my wefts are. That'S kind of where the moisture stays, so I just wanted to kind of make sure that they're mostly dry. So now, I'm just gon na kind of brush my hair out with a wet brush and then suction it off. So what I always kind of part it down the middle in the bag. That way all my hair is to the front, and I can see it all always start at the bottom. You definitely never want to be like rushing straight down when you have hair extensions. That'S gon na put a lot of tension on your extensions and potentially rip them out, so you always start at the bottom and work your way to the top and then, if I ever do have a knot. I support where my extensions are attached to my real hair that way, I'm not pulling on my real hair. I can just brush right through and then for the top. It'S pretty much artis, but I'll, just I'll just pick it up and brush right through it. I'Ll work, my way to the top, I like hold it like your real hair. You just want to treat it really. Well, you just make sure I'm never brushing straight down. Okay, so I'll go ahead and just kind of I usually take up kind of like where my top left is. I have two websit my two rows, so we're might wear my top row is the kind of section here out there and do that as a separate section, yeah lots of hair yeah that looks about right, all righty and then this part I'll just get up out Of my face as much as possible, good enough, okay! So now I'm gon na brush this part again - and I still always put like so I have no hair in the back right now. I parted right down the middle, all the hair to the front. That way, I can see what I'm doing and see the hair that I'm working with in the mirror. I'Ve been here right here in case you guys weren't sure where I was looking, but I always do it in front of the mirror. That way, I can see what I'm doing and I'm sure you guys are at home as well. Okay, so then, I'm gon na take my round brush and pointing the concentrator down. So you always kind of want to be going down with your round brush smoothing your cuticle out and I'm just gon na work with this hair until everything is dry and then move on hey good enough. So now that everything is smoothed out and completely dry, I'm gon na move on to this top section. I'M just do a quick little brush. Everything should still be pretty all right now. My hair is all blown out and completely dry. So I probably you I usually wear my hair like this for like a day or two and then I'll put some waves in it or obviously, if I'm going to something, I always wave my hair. But for the sake of this video, I'm gon na go ahead and show you how I like to put my messy waves in. So let's do that all right, I'm back so now I got my curling iron plugged in and it's heating up. So I use this is a Bay bliss ceramic iron, it's 1 in 1/4 inches, I feel like the this size of the curling iron is really important. The smaller the barrel, the more curly it'll look and the larger the barrel, the more like kind of wavy. It'S gon na look, I feel like 1 in 1/4, it's like the perfect length for a lot of different styles of hair. So if you're gon na buy a curling iron, I definitely recommend that and I do really love to Bay Plus as well. So I'm just gon na go ahead and kind of section out my hair, so you I mean probably a lot of the time. I don't even actually section my own hair, but since I'm doing a video, I'm gon na, do it or maybe I won't know well. Okay, I'm just gon na like it. So once again, I'm getting like my top row of hair in the hair above that and I'm sectioning the bat up out of the way I'm just gon na swirl. It hmm probably gon na, take one more because I have a lot of hair there. That'S really good and attractive all right. So once again, I'm just sectioning my hair right down the middle in the back, I'm pulling all my hair to my front. That way, when I'm looking in the mirror, I can kind of see exactly what I'm doing so. You'Re always gon na want to go away from your face and take large sections for sure. So I'm probably taking like my first section is from the front of my head to the back of where, like my ear, is it's about like a pretty large piece and I'm going to put always have the clip facing the front of facing the mirror. And then I'm gon na return away from my face so clip on the front of the section kind of roll it down twist and I'm just kind of like opening the clip and scooting it. And I always leave like a good inch to two inches. Probably probably closer to two we usually out - and I don't hold it very long at all, so just leave that so now I have like all of this hair left. I'M probably just gon na split this into two sections and that's it because I definitely like more wavy and not so curly clip on the front run it down twist away from my face and just keep scooting it down until there's like a couple inches left out At the bottom, by leaving that couple inches out, that's definitely how you get more of the wavy look. If you want to curl it all the way down and don't leave any hair out, it'll be more curled kind of more formal. Looking, I would say, and then this big section I'm gon na do is my last away from my face in the back. You can rotate like you can kind of like. Maybe this back one, I would turn the opposite direction, but I don't really you know, carry that much. I just try to make my look super natural and I'm gon na pull all these out at the end. So you're not gon na, really see the individual curls so much anyway, so it probably doesn't matter a whole lot. I would say the main thing when you're trying to do this look is like: don't try to make it so perfect, because that's not the point anyway and you're gon na mess it all up at the end. So don't think too much about it so clip on the front away from my face and that's like I'm leaving all that out at the bottom cuz they like it to look super messy. So while I'm finishing this section, I'm gon na talk about like how I like to sleep with my hair, so I feel like sleeping, is when your extensions will get the most knotted or matted up so you'll, always always brush your hair out before you go to Bed make sure there's no knots and then you can either braid it or you can put it up in like a bun on the top of your head and that's probably what I do the most just because I'm a crazy sleeper and I feel like sometimes even With a braid it'll get kind of naughty like not in the braided part, but just like where it's gathered in the back, so I put a ponytail up on the tip tip top of my head. It'S definitely not like the most attractive look ever, but it serves a purpose and then, when I take it down in the morning, all the curls are basically still there, which is really helpful for like the next day. So you don't have to keep restyling your hair. I tell my clients to only wash their hair one to two times a week that way you're not having to put a whole lot of heat on it and it's just easier for you, but other than that. It'S really just like your own hair. So I'm gon na take this section for my first one, that's probably like two inches wide and away from my face clip on the front turn back and I just kind of as I'm pulling it out. What I'm doing is I'm just like opening and closing this a little bit, so I can like slowly pull it out. It'S super simple away from my face once in a minute and then pull it out and I still have all of my hair in the front that way, I can see it in my mirror, make sure I'm getting every little piece so in each section. So I do like the bottom section in the top section in each one, you'll probably have like five curls. That'S it so, like maybe two on each side and then one in that middle or maybe like six like two on each side. I don't know three or four in the back: I'm not good with math, but you definitely, I feel like where people mess up the most is they're taking super super tiny sections, and then they end up with a really curly hair, which is not the look that They'Re wanting so either taking doing too many curls in general is really where I think also people use a super, tiny curling iron and then that's really gon na change. The look it'll just be really curly, but just fine, if that's like what you wanted so clip on the front just away from my face: scoot it down and twist also the other great thing about hair extensions. Is your extensions hold these curls really? Well, I don't know why that is, but definitely my hair is sinking the whole before also much better than my natural hair used to. So I'm doing this now, I'm just getting this tiny little piece just because I forgot it so I'll. Do this look now. I work out in this hair in a ponytail on in a bun on the top of my head, and then I just take it right back down and the curls just bounce right back after you brush it. They just come right back and then I'll usually just add, like two curls to the front like these pieces. I'M doing right now like this one in this one on each side of my face and then comb those out and that's what I wear all week long. It'S so easy people are always like nervous about getting extensions thinking. It'S gon na, be like so much harder and so much more work, and really, I feel like it's the opposite. It'S like it makes your life so much easier, because your hair looks so much better. All the time you do it once and it's good for like a whole week, awesome okay! So now I'm gon na! Let everything sit and just leave it like this for a minute like uh. If you feel your hair and it's so hot, it needs to sit a minute. Obviously like this sides, pretty cool. So I'm just gon na run my fingers through all of this and then now this is cool, so I'm just gon na run my fingers through and I you can use a brush also. I just prefer to just use my fingers some easier. That'S why that's what I'm about? I mean it's kind of like fluff it then you have your hairs all done, so this is kind of how I wear my hair. All week, long I'll usually put like a little texture spray in the top. Just to give me like a little bit more lift. This is really how I wear my hair all week, long and so after I work out I'll just put like two curls right here in the front and that's it so super easy. I hope this helped. I hope this will be a tool for you guys to use at home when you're, you know trying to style your extensions they're, trying to figure out how to dry them and section them in all those things. So I hope this helps. Let me know if you like it thanks.
