Handtied Wefts Vs. Machine Wefts

We were taking my sister back wad the comments on the last video we're so incredible. Everyone left her grin hair. I love to regret hair everyone's obsessed then, but she does not feel like herself, so we were going to be going back just a little bit lighter, but we're not going back to her ice blonde. We'Re going to be doing a really pretty dimensional warp blonde. So in this video we are going to be talking about how we are going to pull this red out of her hair and give her a brighter appearance, and then we're also going to be talking about the difference between hand, tied and machine webbed extensions. So if you were interested in watching this stay tuned, okay, so step, one is going to be clarifying the hair. We are using Kevin, Murphy's maxi, wash the reason we are doing. This is because clarifying shampoo usually helps strip out the color a little bit. So we are going to be washing her hair, three or four times with this before we get going on the color. We just took all of her extensions out, and this is the result - crazy, crazy mess on the counter. So this is her before, as you can see, that clarifying wash really did help strip out the color she's left with like a golden blonde with a lot of red undertones. As you can see here in the front, it's still pretty red, but it did lift out really well just with that maxi wash now we are mixing up, switch cuffed blonde me, as you guys know. If you follow me on Instagram, this is my favorite Lightner. As of right now, it lifts so so well and it's such a gentle smooth, lift with usually no damage which is really really nice. I'M use it with 20 volume, and I am just mixing it up here with a whisk. So we get a nice smoother result and this Lightner actually has a bond enhancement built inside of it. So we actually don't need to add olaplex, which is really really nice, so we are going to be doing foils today we're going to be doing just a half highlight the reason we are doing this is I just want to see how her hair lifts out and Then we will do a full if it goes well. These are the extensions we are going to be using. I am so so excited on this video. We are going to be talking about the difference, machine webs and hand-tight west, so you guys will see me demoing. Those on her and I'm so excited to talk a little bit more about that. So we are just doing a very fine baby lie. As I said before, we are just doing a half head right now, but we are packing these foils and really really tightly. We are taking it all the way down, because we are trying to kick out most of that red. I just have to say you guys. I am so so impressed with red can shades eq. You guys know that I have used them for years and years and years, but I usually use them for toning, not for all-over colors and I just have to say we only touched up her color red once with the shade DQ it faded out. So so naturally, but it also held really well - and you guys will see here in a minute that I also lifted out really well with minimal damage and it also lifted out really evenly so I'm actually a big user of shades eq for all-over colors. Now, especially if it's someone just wanting a temporary change, look, I told you guys look how amazing this lifted out. It only been on the hair about 20 minutes at this point and it's white in the foil and it's such an even lift because we saturated really well and the baby lights just help it lift out so nicely. So now we were just doing a little bit of a route smudge and we are using gold well color, on seven and seven and a right here, and I just wanted to give her a little bit of a smudge that she has a natural shadow. Especially since we aren't going for a white blonde, we're going for more like a rooted, dimensional blonde. So that's what we are doing here. I am taking it down about a half inch to an inch just depending on this section, and then we are going to start toning. I always think it's really important to comb through your route smudges and your route shadows just so that it gives it a really natural blend. I do have a olaplex or a deep conditioner on my clients when I do this just so that there is no smudging and also gives them a treatment while their root is sitting. But this is like the most satisfying part just combing through and seeing it start to process and the blend. I love it so much it's like my favorite part. Ok! So now we are toning and I am using 9 v, 9 and B and I'm doing the V to help cancel out some of the yellow and then the NB, because it's a natural beige and I'm going for more like a natural, dimensional blond. As I told you guys - and I think this will really help complement some of the golden tones that are still in her hair from the leftover red, so I am just saturating this through and we left it on about 5 minutes in the bowl. Okay, the color is done, so we are just getting it dried before we start on the extensions, as you guys can see here she lifted so well, I'm so so happy with it. Obviously, we still have some red left throughout and luckily it just looks like a golden low light with the bright blonde that we achieved today. We'Re really really happy with the results and probably only one more session before she would be able to be white blonde again. Older she'd have to wait about six to eight weeks, but that's our next step. So here are the extensions we're going to be using on the Left. We have a machine left and on the right we have a hand tied weft. As you can see, the machine wave comes in one long, bundle and the hand tight comes in three or six separate bundles. If you guys follow me or my company on instagram, you know that we have full webs and half webs. These are both half west. So that's a half machine and a half hand tight and the reason we have half so so that you can add in a half a bag. If your client doesn't need to full bags or you can mix and match colors, okay. So, let's start the process of beaded West. This is a method that you can use to sew in hand tight or machine webs. It'S actually the same method, regardless of the hair. You use the only difference between machine and hand. Tied is machine er a little bit. Bull gear and they give more volume and hand tied, lay a little flatter to the head, and you don't feel them as much so just depending on what your client wants is what you would use. We are using machine webs on this first row down here to give her a little fullness underneath. So, as you can see here, I have her parted off in a clean, horseshoe section, and then I measure the section I want and I cut the hair. Then I'm going to start looping my beads on my tool right here and I am just doing little rectangular sections making sure my sections are really clean and really tight. The hairspray that I used earlier helps any baby hair stick down. So that's a really important part. As well because then you don't get those baby hairs trapped within your beads, so I am just clamping it together and then I am doing my next one, so my sections are actually really close together. I don't need any hair in between the beads, as you guys can see here and then I'm taking that bead tightening it not too tight to the scalp, but tight enough where it is going to be pretty secure. This is just something that takes practice. I do teach this method in my classes and I go over it in more depth. So if you were ever interested in any classes, there is a link below in the description box where you can sign up, but I am just taking that beaded method. All the way around the horseshoe and then we are going to be sewing the HERA. I just want to throw out there that there are actually so many different ways to do beaded web. I myself have learned about five or six different ways to do them, and this is just the way that I have tweaked a little bit to work for me and I feel like it works really well, so there is no right or wrong way unless you haven't Been certified and don't know what you're doing, but there are different kinds of ways - and this is just my way so keep in mind that everyone does it differently, and this is just how I like to do it. So those beads are all the way on and now we are going to start the selling process, so I am now positioning the hair and using these small metal clips to keep the hair in place. While I am sewing, this really helps keep your hair, nice and secure while you're sewing the track in this or having an assistant hold. The hair helps really well, while you are sewing, so we are taking a c-shaped needle. I doubled my thread and I am doing the first stitch. So, as you can see here, I am just leading a little tail at the end and then I tie it together twice to tighten it and then I'm gon na start stitching. The most important part about beaded webs, in my opinion, is getting that corner really tight. It'S hard to know whether it's going to lay flat or not, but you have to go over it a few times just to make sure that that corner is really flat. So I'm really really picky about my corners and I like to go over it a few times just to make sure that it's really secure. So I'm going over at about two or three times and as you can see here, I am letting that thread feed through my fingers so that I don't get don't get it caught in anything else and then I'm just going to continue my stitching pattern. I do a pattern of about three stitches per bead and it's a left middle right pattern. I know it's kind of hard to see here and it's kind of hard to explain just over a voiceover, but hopefully you can get the idea and then, like I said before, I do teach classes on this. If you would like to get certified and see a more in-depth process of it, my company has three different shades of beads. We have blonde caramel and dark brown, and the same goes for string. We have a blonde caramel and dark brown as well. Typically, since this is a rooted extension color, I would have done a caramel or dark brown bead and thread color, but we actually had just ran out of all of those and we only had blonde in stock. So that's why I'm using blonde on her, but she does want to be blonde. So it's totally fine, but just keep in mind that it's best to match your beads and thread to the extension color you are doing so. I am just finishing up this side. The same thing applies to this corner as well. You want really tight stitches and that way it will stay secure on both sides. This is the stitching when we are all done with it, so we are just tying up both corners and then we are going to be moving on to the next row. So on this day I was actually training one of my stylist on the beaded web. So that's what we are doing here, but I am now sectioning her next row off. The first row was dipped below underneath her nape a little bit and above her ears and the next one is just a little bit higher, but still in a horseshoe. So, as you can see here, we are doing a hand-tied weft. The only difference with hand tied webs besides them being a little bit flatter and thinner, is that they are actually a little more fragile. So, as you could see there, when I was cutting it, it started to shed a little bit and if you don't glue off the edges like I am doing here, you will have shedding. So this is a really important thing with hand tied webs. You have to have to glue them if you cut them and if you are too afraid to cut them, then it's best just to fold them over. I just like to use the brush on glue from Walmer and, as you can see here after about 10 to 20 seconds, it dries down and you'll be able to feel it because the glue hardens and then it is safe to put in your clients hair. So we are now placing our hand tied webs. We are using two bundles here and we layered them all on top of each other. You can layer anywhere from two to three bundles at a time and that would give you anywhere from four to six pieces of hair, it's hard to explain if you've never used a hand tied weft. But if you do, you know what I mean and I am just doing the exact same stitching pattern as I used for the Machine West. If you were new to hand tied West, keep in mind that the more hair you layered a little bit harder. It gets because you have to make sure that you are getting every single section of hair and that's where those clips are really important. Usually, if I layer even more hand tied wax, I will have silver Clips around the whole edge of it. Now we are getting close to the corner and I am doing the same thing, making sure those corners are really tight and secure. The nice thing about hand. Tides is, since they are thinner, they tend to lay a little bit flatter, especially in the corners, and it makes it really easy to get it nice tight and secure. I absolutely love doing beaded webs. It is one of my favorite techniques to do on my clients and if you ever have any questions about beaded webs in general, whether it's about machine webs or hand tied webs or just the beaded West method, you can feel free to DM me on Instagram or You can email our company if you have any questions about our hair or our methods. I also do teach these in classes like I have said before, and that is the best way to get certified and to see this in person and get some hands-on training. So if you ever have any questions you know there are so many different ways to do this, and I know some stylists have different preferences on the method and the hair they use. But I just wanted to show you guys what it's like to use both machine and hand tied with my beaded weft method. I think that there's no perfect method for everyone. I think everyone is individual and every client has different needs, so it is really good to be trained in all methods so that you can do what your client needs so now, since we just did those two rows, I am going to be. Moving on to tape ends the reason we are doing machine hand, tied and tapings on. Her is because I was training my stylist this day, and I thought it would also be a really good way to show you guys in a video all three methods. So since she has these tiny baby hairs underneath she likes to have T pins under here, just to give her a little bit of fullness, not every client is like that, but us around here we were extension addicts, and so we like to have the fuller, the Better, so I'm placing a few tapings under her first row of webs and then I'm also placing them up top and around the front of her hairline. I really hope you guys enjoyed this video. I miss making videos as often as I used to in the past. My life has been so so crazy, but I am making a new commitment. I will have one to two videos out a week: hair tutorials lifestyle. Anything you guys want to see. So, please let me know what you would like to see in the comments below.
