Okay, this is look at that. Look at that. Okay, that's here! I'Ve been natural for about four years. I'Ve been natural on and off for, like the past six years, I got my first. We when I was in seventh grade. I think I would have a weave and then I have my natural hair as a leave out and that whole period of time I was like straightening, my hair. This area is has been through so much I felt like the hair is never like truly matched well with mine extensions that match my hair. Texture aren't as popular because that's not the type of hair that people want to have in their head Malaysian or some other type of long Kim, Kardashian, esque hair. The reason I enjoy being natural is because there's so much versatility that my hair can do and I enjoy length. You know everybody wanna stiff where you feel me. So we found a company called curly Clips, which offers extensions for a wide range of natural hair textures. It'S nice to just like be able to throw in a clip and not have to like cut your hair bone straight to match. Like this straight. We have extensions that you see everywhere else. I'Ve had such a journey with extensions, clip-ins, sew ins, glue ins. It'S been rough, so I would like something that works and that looks good on everybody. I think we can all agree with that. All right, he can't leave. I can't oh, this is nice Carlos. It smells good, and I can already tell that this is like very close to my hair texture like you, can see that the spirals at the end matches my curls pretty damn well, so I'm gon na take these smaller, shorter clips and put them in the front And then these longer ones I'm gon na put around the bag. I didn't want to try a ponytail. Lord knows when I put my hair in a ponytail, I've got the little Boop. It'S like one little bite-sized, cinnamon bun. So hopefully this can help with that. I'M gon na section it off first clip in that was okay, acceptable wow. That feels so secure. I'Ve never done clippings because I was afraid, like you end up with a track on the floor, and then you got explain everybody what a track is it ain't? Nobody got time for that. Yes, so honestly, this did not take as much work as I was expecting when blending it. My whole head is pretty much color and I was able to pull in this very well, but I love this. I think I'm kind of pumping - I think I did it. It came out pretty good. It'S easy to just pop in it's gon na be easy to take out when I don't no longer want them. I'M about this life. Now I'm never taking these out. This isn't a new thing. I just looked at myself and yes, I look fantastic. This is like so fun and I feel like it's basically something that you could do really quick for an event now that I know this is possible. I think that I would be looking for something like this again rather than going for something straight. I just don't think this I've seen anything that looks this close to my hair texture. I actually think that using these would shorten the amount of time that I spend with my hair. Something like this is great because you can stay natural and Chinese style and get those extra inches it'll be fun to have something that is my hair texture that I don't have to worry about blending my leave out or frying my hair with all the straightening. You want something: that's low, manipulation and you're, not damaging your real hair. Okay, we're done
Comments
Nae West: I'm glad they showed all black girl hair textures I'm tired of 4C getting left out all the time
Ky: MOOD. “There’s a trac on the floor and then you gotta explain to everybody why there’s a trac on the floor.” I felt that.
Victoria Mensah: You need to add product or water to blend the curl patterns better
Betty Ayala: They should’ve been able to take it home with them that way they could’ve worked with the extension to make it look the best they could
Elaina Smith: Uh we need Selorm back.
Leslie: This video makes me so happy! I'm obviously not a black woman, but it makes me happy when I see a woman who is confident enough to wear her hair natural. And this is a great product for those ladies!
Kola : this couldve been a great way for the company to show a variety of textures and colors to actually match the ladies hair... y'all had sis with with bleached ends looking foolish :/
echo?: Where are my kinky/curly haired queens at?!
Jeannie Thompson: Selorm need to get two pony tails and do cute space buns!!
Ariane Martins: this is such an interesting episode because damn... i’m natural and i prefer to rock natural bundles. it looks more realistic and i get so many compliments when i wear my hair that way. but it kinda sucks that black women don’t enjoy it.
B.Sam69: Wish these existed back in the day when my mom decided to do The Big Chop on me a quarter way through my freakin' senior year. Would have saved me a lot of tears... and painful hair tracks.
Roshawnah Forde: I need to express how much I have enjoyed these black inspired videos with black women. I hope to see more of these types of videos and/ or a specific channel devoted to them
Iruka: Yay! I always happy to witness Black women offered hair care methods that encourage natural hair acceptance! You all are are truly beauty! Every coil and curl! ❤️
PikaWolf: I'm really impressed with how this turned out!! Definitely gonna share this with some friends! Great job, As/Is! This is totally a company I'd love to support!!
Sarah B: Please show a week of the ladies wearing their Kurly Klips! I’d love to see what they think of taking them in and out over the course of a week, or what their friends, family, and coworkers think. They look amazing!!!
Cristina Alvarez: y'all should try this for a week like you do with other trends.
Mercedes Angel Elzbieta: this is amazing, I love how there's more options for this type of hair now! I dont know much about extensions or hair growth but I have very fine hair and a far set back hairline, so when I put my hair in a ponytail i look almost bald all around my forehead, hairline behind my ears and the hairline at the neck. To compensate I have bangs starting from the middle top of my head that sort of swoop to the side and only works if I keep my hair in an organized bun for days so its curly enough to hold the shape with some extra hairspray. But im constantly having to put it back in place and i get really subconscious when Im outside and the wind keep blowing it upwards to reveal my large forehead. These days I just sport a bun and use a curly hair elastic band the same shade as my hair, to make it look like Ive got some more hair at least, but it doesnt help the hairline issue. Would extensions help for volumne appearance or is there something out there for this sort of thing?
Julian Felix: I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing those look! Those are THE BEST natural black hair extensions I have ever seen! The diverse in textures is beyond! Wow
SK: I love their hair, I wish my hair had volume, it's just really plain and flat
Syd the dog lover :D: I personally love darker skin tones and curly hair y'all girls are beautiful!!!!!!
Kailee Palardy: I have so much respect for them and their hair
Cat Cruickshank: I really like cute laughs. Selorm has that. Also, Destinee looks perfect with that shorter style. Wish I could pull a style like hers off.
ohmnamast3: Watching this video with my Kurly Klips in! If you watch some of her tutorials, it will help you blend the hair with yours a lot better.
lesleyisawildchild: Clip ins can actually pull your hair out. I used them daily a couple years ago and ended up with bald spots where the slips were placed. They definitely aren’t meant to be worn all the time. Be careful, ladies!
Nathália Góis: So nice that the brands are finally thinking about different ethnicities. You girls look absolutely gorgeous in anyway! You rock!
bowsuphigh: what an amazing company. such an untapped market and such a needed product.
Brookexx: I would've LOVED this when i was growing my hair out years ago!
silver070: They looked really realistic. Love it!
Julie M: I actually enjoyed this video very much... Finally clip-ins for kinky hair that looks like kinky hair. I personally liked the way that the clip-ins looked on the third girl with the camo shirt, butI just think that her hair was better prepped than the other girls because it was wet and was able to dry with the clip-ins instead of the other girls having already dried hair. Nonetheless I think I'm going to check out their site, thanks!
simplybri: So glad a black owned brand was used
James R: They are beautiful. I love the curls. A neat option.
Sophia Jones: I have Kurly Klip ins! Best clip ins ever! They blend so well with my kinky hair
ladyydyonne: This was disrespectful. Lol. Their hair is beautiful to begin with! But, they needed a professional or some type of hair stylist that's familiar with hair extensions to install the hair for them to get a better result. ❤️❤️
Philippa Till: Selorm! Your natural hair is amazing. keep keep!
Isabelle B: im no hair expert but i thought all of these looked really good!!
Christina: The girl at the end flipping her pony tail.. that was so cute. Her smile at the end, she looked so happy
Eris Lin: I love your vids Keep doing what your doing I love their hair!!
faginator 3000: We need more variety in extensions
Fianna Miller: Wow! They all look amazing and gorgeous with and without them! Like, how?!
Luana Ferrari: I had so little faith in them but they actually look so good
Catherine Baron: This is awesome! Lookin' good, ladies!
Diana Reyes: OMG! They look so good with that hair extensions!!
Max: I looooooooooove their *natural* hair!
BunnyFett: I love this because curly haired people don't get a lot of things made for them.
mellydoeslife: Hashtags black history month but BuzzFeed layed off a ton of POF including Selorm from this video. Priceless.
Chloe 😋: Anyone else hate it when people have a slight curl and are like OmG tHe CuRlY hAiR sTrUgGlEs

Tala Majali: This looks so gooooodd!!!
Lizzy Morang: These are gorgeous!!
DJ Shock Africa: As/Is thank you for thinking of us black ladies. If I may, there is a company called #KRSHair , they do #knatural #knappyhair extensions that are much more realistic and easy for ladies to put on themselves on their own. I don't work with the company or have any affiliation, I just think that what they are doing for us women is impressive!
chair 2: they all look so pretty omg
Kolor: Can you dye them? I cut my hair off about a year ago and growing out my top but recently I colored it blue. Is is possible to safely bleach and color the clip ins?
Chael: I wished they showed or listed what each girl ordered. Deciding between sizes is confusing on the website.
That Thing You See At The Corner Of Your Eye: The clip-ins could stand to be a bit more kinky though. They still look kinda lose to me.
Mary Alexandria Ingram: I kind of really want to try these
MILIAN MOLLISON: This actually very helpful.
Mahina: OMG YAAAL LOOOOK SOOOO MUCH BETTER WITH LONG HAIR(no affence)❤️❤️❤️❤️
sicc Fang: Omg they look so stunning
taeluvr i: Love ur vids!❤️
Kenny Akinola: I like how y'all are trying to pour out all the black history month videos at the end of the month....smh
BFspider: I got my first weave done in 4th grade and my mom does it but my first was only 2 braids my second and from there on out it’s been box braids but sometimes 2 braids or straight (or my poof/puff)
Lindsay Emerson: I thought they looked good! And as long as the girls are happy who cares? Why all the hate?
Lily Raimey: I usually don’t touch BuzzFeed with a ten-foot pole, but I see natural hair, I click.
Anita Krapivsky: NATURAL BEAUTIES ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tyler: The hair isn’t prepared. You can’t just take it out the bag and throw it in. It needs to be washed, conditioned, and detangled. But this is good representation and i love it
Lauren S: lets be real this looks like braiding hair
A.B.: I know they aren’t hair stylist but did they even try
Mary McKenzie: I'm now thinking of getting kinky clip ins
crystalabprice: Bring back Selorm!!
Sydni A Underwood: Guess whose bout to spend her whole paycheck ♀️
Dakota C: Why didn't they get them a stylist? Great idea though give love to our 4C people.
Tamara Young: I love it!!!
I'm Ginny: The woman wearing the Adidas hoodie has the most perfect face ever
En Vagyok: Come ooooooon, this is made of indian hair too...you see the roots, they are just made to look kinky, but it s not naturally kinky hair
ashley rivera: They need some boho exotic studio extensions
Jacinta If: I love Selorm sooooo much
Hey, it's Kimberlee!: Am I crazy? This doesn’t look like it turned out well at all...how come it looks like they all got the same texture instead of different types? Or why didn’t they separate some of the curls so it wasn’t such a drastic difference? Also, the color of the hair didn’t really match. When I got my clip ins in the past, I’ve always learned to get a 1b off black, I don’t think anyone’s hair was full black unless it was dyed. So many questions lol I’m just genuinely confused ♀️ They should do a video going to their local beauty supply store and picking out the correct clips ins.
Cocoa Pacific: Kinky hair is not like straight hair when it comes to clip ins you can’t just clip in and go. You have to blend the hair with yours and style it. These would have looked descent if they would have did a little more to make it look believable.
Savannah Peaches: oh gurl no they need HELP blending them in they don’t look good i’m sorry ♀️
Mimi's Craft: I can dig it!
clubwine: broo the second girl looked sooooooooo good with long hair
Paris Roam: 3c is like the new perm, and im quite tired of it.
Julissa Andrew: LOVE YOU SELORM
Paris Roam: @2:19 we call it a paint brush
Derrick Reviews: Ammmmazing!!!
spilling the tea: I'm kinky and I have extensions with plaits
Victoria’s Universe: What brand are these clip-ins?!
Near: Hey love you all SOOOO much!
Haechaniedays: THATS SO COOL AND PRETTY
exo x: Tragic. Washing or at least wetting the hair would have made a difference.
Not the Doctor: The girl with the hoops looks like an even prettier Alicia Keys
Ishan Ali: What’s so kinky about hair extensions?
OHSNAHPZ: Can I get some advice on how to comb through my hair more easily? I have 3c to 4a hair and it is hard to maintain and comb through. And since I’m a guy, my hair care come second in the daily routines please please please help.
cathode xuxi nayu: I thought they fired Selorm Didn't they?
LaBrittany Deshae: I like the hair but i didn’t really see Afro texture 4c ♀️ looked nice though
