How To ~ Hair Extensions For Short Hair

Hi guys so today, this video is about hair extensions. It'S been a really long time since my last hair extension video. I was looking at a few yesterday that I've made in the past and well basically, I've been growing. My hair I've slightly curled, it's it's quite wavy today and yeah. Well, you can see where it is now and yeah. So I'm going to put some extension, so I'm going to show you how you can take your half and being this short to way longer. These extensions, I think, are 16 or 15 inches I'll. Just show you the link here. So you know quite long really um I'll. Just tell you a little bit about these extensions. There'S loads of hair here, there's actually three packs. You probably wouldn't need this much, but because I have really short hair yeah I needed more, so there's a lot of hair here I mean it's way thicker than I remember my foxy locks. Being these were sent to me by a company we called hair extension sale. Calm they contacted me because obviously, I've made a hair extension videos. In the past, I've mentioned how I've wanted to grow. My hair out I've been dying to try some extensions, but I was like Alex: don't buy any yet just wait until your hair's like at least that this length or something but they contact me and of course, I'm not going to say no. So you know these extensions are actually really nice. I'M not just saying that I haven't had them for a really long time, so I'm not going to give you like a full time review. You know of what they're going to be like in 3 months time, because I don't actually know - and I have dyed these - they were really really light blonde, but now they're more of kind of a light golden blonde they're, not the perfect colors. So I do actually have a really yellowy kind of blonde, so they're just off being perfect, but it's kind of one of the things that, like you'd notice, only if you were really looking for it. People haven't said that they've noticed that my mum said you, you wouldn't even tell but there's loads of extenders here yeah so considering having died and I've died. Other extensions in the past and they've literally just failed as soon as the dye hits them. These still feel really soft, so I've trimmed the ends like they just because they're a bit too long and also the you know, extensions, take her out, there's a new hose of hair here, so I've dyed them. I'Ve also double wefted, quite a few of them, because, instead of having lots and lots and lots of hair in my head, you know separate different wefts. I'Ve actually sewn a few of them together, because I have so many pieces of hair because they sent me they were absolutely brilliant company. Their customer service was incredible. They sent me the products. I got them within like two days of them asking me if they could send them, but yeah, as you can see, I've sewn them here and I've made them just double wefted, so the hair is a bit thicker on the weft. Otherwise, it's more like this thickness and if you have hair, looks like a bit longer here, that's absolutely fine, but for me we've really short hair. I need it to be. You know as realistic as possible, but because I'm really oversensitive about it anyway. Yes, so I've double wefted, quite a few of these in one pack of hair you'll, get 1/4 inch weft. This isn't doubled up. I didn't double up this one, because I wanted it a bit thinner, two packs of three. These are double wefted now so, and there won't be as thick as this, so you get two threes, you get one two and you get two ones so that comes on to my next point of blending. The easiest and best way to blend hair extensions is to curl them, so my hands a bit cold anyway, but I normally only call the extensions anyway. It just makes them blend in a bit more. If you add your hair into the curl, I also find you know pinning parts of your hair up. I find it it blends it better if you pin this up here, yeah so anyway enough blabbering about nothing. I am going to actually apply these extensions. You can see what it's like to do them I'll speed up the process. I won't take too long, hopefully, but I'll just explain each one I put in I've got so much hair here front of me. It'S craziness! Yes! So let's get on so, as you can see, I'm just going to part my hair. I recommend parting about an inch apart so that there has equally distributed throughout your whole head. You can see. I have some roots by being using a lightening spray and it's been happening a bit that is it a bit more. So this is a trick. I have a really short hair if you just twist either half of the back and lift that up and then use two bobby pins to clip it in and that helps the extensions blend in, because you don't have that really short layer. That'S sticking through! So, as you can see, I'm just pinning that up now it gets a bit complicated because I have a hair sticking out and I'm trying to like put the extensions in in the minute. You'Ll see I'm just popping some hair spray on so that it stays in place really so, first of all, I'm gon na use the two clip that way. This fits really well at the bottom, so you can see now I'm a bit like. Where do I put the hair sorry about the first thing that you're gon na get on this microphone? It'S just my built-in laptop nothing. I can do so. You just want to make sure that your clips are really secured. As you can see, that looks really cool. That'S me just saying that you need it about an inch apart. The way I recommend you're applying the clips is I like to get their hair, I'm applying it to and lift it up slightly so that the clip gets all the way through because for me with quite fine hair or my hands quite silky. So the clips pull out easily that's the best way to keep it in. You can back home, but I find that's just a lot of hard work, so this is a three-piece wet. Sorry, as you can see, I just find the best way to find extension sisters to make sure they're really well filtered through the hair, so that you don't get any. You know really obvious and pieces layers even and also try and keep your sections as straight as possible. So this is the second three three thick weft see what I'm doing now, I'm just lifting the hair up. I'M missing that woman in properly there we go. So it's looking better already! Well, not what I do that. Let me just scooting down for you, so you can see the top of my head and then that's a problem of having short hair. It'S really hard to get it all up. So now we're moving on to the double wefted for clique pete's. I wouldn't mind a few more of these. If I made my own extensions, I would have it so that they were just I don't like having the small pieces. I like having big pieces that run through the whole hand anyway. It basically just carries on like this. I'M gon na stop talking now and speed this up, even more you, okay, so all the hair is in, I actually managed to get all in. I don't normally get to do that, so I have I've. I think this is like the second time I've put them in since I've done the weft, so this is like the fourth time put them in. I think the biggest thing with extensions is making sure all of the clips are undetectable. Sorry and obviously my hair isn't held with the extension. So it looks quite obvious at the moment I mean when you look at the back, you can see they're going one way. The extensions are going another, but you can't actually see any of the clips if you can there's no problem with just back combing a little bit, I'm going to do that. So now you can see my roots have a bit more lift. I always thought I feel really strange having a long hair again, I feel like it doesn't look right, but it's just because I'm so used to having short hair. So, look you can see that the hairs here I've actually put extensions just behind my ears to help blend that in a bit once that has all curling in the same direction. This will be much less noticeable. So just turned my PhD you I just finished caroling guys. I absolutely love it. This is definitely the best. It'S been so far out about all the times. I'Ve applied them. You can see the hair here, there's loads of it, especially curled, just bring it all to the front, and then you know normal locust half so at the front sent at the back. So you can see where the layers are, but it's just like normal hairy. Everyone has layers, so I would recommend cutting these to your actual hair shape. But for me I haven't been applying them enough times or I haven't applied them enough to know exactly where I'm gon na be keeping certain clips. So I don't wanna cut it yet and then find out. I want to put the shorter side here at the back, so what I'm gon na do now is just put some well: can oil on the ends just to soften them up a bit? This stuff is an absolute dream. My best friend bought it for me for my birthday and I've been using it on my own hair since, and I can't live answer it now, because I bleached my hair. Obviously, it needs an extra bit of care and it's not heavy. It'S not greasy your hair, just absorbs it and literally just drinks it in, and what I find is your hair feels so good afterwards, especially if it's wet. So I just wanted to put that in to give a bit of nourishment. Oh, this feels crazy. Something you can do, which I do like to do, is just to twist the front piece of hair that you have make sure you don't get too much in there and just to pin that to the side, and I find that that um, I don't know, I Hate having her in my face, so that kind of helps me out a bit, but look you can see how well the hair is actually covered. Yes, I really like these. The company were brilliant. Yes, they sent them to me, but I was you know. I genuinely wanted to myself. I was just telling myself no, because I wanted my hair to grow some more, but this has been a perfect demonstration on how your hair doesn't actually need to be that long to be wearing extensions. Honest never thought that they blend in with my length hair. This piece of hair is being really awkward yeah, so I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. I hope it was helpful. I I will be once I'm completely confident with where I'm placing my extensions. I will be cutting them so giving them some layers, so they will be even more blended. The great thing about these particular extensions is they've. Just they've done really well. They'Ve been dyed, they've been I've soaked them differently. The clips are brilliant yeah and I really really like the effect. I hope you do too. I hope you agree with me on. You know that they're quite well hidden and not too obvious. Tell me if you like my hair this length, I mean I don't know how I feel about it. I feel kind of, like I don't know strange, I'm so used to having short hair now so guys. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed I'll link the website down below I'm not getting conversation or anything just if you are interested because they do do like all different types, just normal Wes, clippings micro and Link things which I'm desperate to try - and I want to do, though, myself, I'M sure I could do it, I've researched it so much. I really really want to do that because that would blend in even more maybe when my hairs about the hairs here now I got my hairs about here. I'D say in like 3 or 4 months time. Maybe once I finished my placement, I really want to try that yeah. So thank you so much for watching. It means a lot and I'll speak. You'Ll, see right.
