Bellami Or Zala: Part 2 + Tips On Caring For Extensions

Hey everybody: what's up, it's audrey make sure to subscribe to my youtube channel, tik, tok, twitter and instagram um. Also, i have an only fans page at um audrey. So pretty i'm going to do my um like part two, my follow-up on my zala versus balmy extensions and the difference. I'Ve noticed in quality um since buying them. I bought my zelda extensions, which are right here about a month ago for my first set. I bought on the 30 inch chestnut brown like zola, hair extensions and it comes with nine like different wefts or whatever. Here is one of the five piece swepts i'm currently um, getting my glam on my hair and makeup, and i'm about to apply my hair extensions in so i thought it would be a great time to do a follow-up video, because a few people have been asking Me so um, the first thing um i'll say is you can see the difference right here holding this up from my unboxing video and you guys can see um how much hair it's like lost and thinned out this long. I want to show you guys so super long on my i've, worn, hair extensions for the past, like four or five years, i always apply like weft sealer that i pick up for like a dollar to um from a beauty supply store. I don't have like a specific favorite brand or even remember which one i use like quick seal or whatever, which works like pretty good, but um anyone will work, but so um. I had that in i just washed my extensions um yesterday, so a little bit of it came out when you wash your extensions. The weft sealer will like kind of come out since having my um zelda extensions. I'Ve never haven't dyed. These chemically dyed them. The last time that i washed these - i basically um deep conditioned them. I left the conditioner in for about an hour because they were getting so dry. I used my flat iron, which i love, titanium, baby, bliss flat iron. That works really good. I use it on number 40 heat setting and um. I just like re-straighten these out. I'Ve noticed the older that they get to the longer. I have them, the less they hold their like style or whatever like. If i curl it, the curls won't hold as long and if i flat iron it um and even just wear it for a few hours. It doesn't hold the next like it will get wavy or whatever um like the next day, which it didn't do. When i first bought them, when i first bought them, they already came straight but um. If i straighten them like it would hold a style for a while, but you can see how kind of like tangling just drying frizzy they are so it's constantly having to. It. Feels like hair straw, like you, can hear that constantly having to um try not much more. I can say um that but then they're dry, they thin out. You guys can see the before and after and um yeah. I think bellamy's um a little bit higher quality but um. They don't have the length and everything like that and follow me um, two or three months after bellamy and theirs are the same way. It'S pretty much all hair extensions, but especially from the huge um vendors that, like or brands that pay the influencers and stuff like that to go hype up their product, which is important for me to do like a real, honest, youtube, review, video and everything, because i Hate all that, like fake, false marketing but um yeah i'll, go ahead and apply this one and the clip on it is the exact same clip that they use on the regular bellamy's, the silk seam ones, the silk scene balmies. They have a little bit of like a thicker wider clip with some rubber on it to really hold its place, but the rubber at times can often pull out your natural hair in your real hair um. I considered doing micro clips at one point, but i work out a lot. So i don't like micro clips from having to um wash these dry them every single day, and these aren't good enough quality to even want to micro clip into your hair um or anything like that, because if you're going to do micro clips, you need a really High quality of hair that can take being washed and dried um every day, but a lot of people that do microclips. They don't sweat. That often i sweat when i work out and i work out almost every day so um you know i notice people who do microclips they're more of um, more sedentary lifestyles. I would say if you're looking for a longer length go with zollo, but if you're, okay, with a little bit of a shorter length and better quality um, go to bellamy, prefer the longer length as compared to the quality. I'M wearing extensions is never cheap, they're, expensive and um. It'S not cheap to look super cute and have 30 inch hair. They still just feel like really dry. The dryness is like similar to this. These ones aren't tangling as bad yet but um. I can definitely see them on their way or on the verge. These were, at one point, 24 inch, extensions, um, and i had them for only like two or three months, really like not that impressed. But i do think the length is beautiful and i do love the color of them, but um. They have thinned out a lot and lost a lot of hair and it's only been one month so further down the line at two or three months. I can only imagine how much more tangly and dry and like hair will be lost and for 500, which is a pretty good price, a pretty high price to pay for yeah. Just now they're like we see how they are so it's really annoying having a especially when they're so long brush it from you know in all the maintenance, but um still got flat ironing this got my little and they are dry and people do um say: oh A leave-in conditioner or leave-in moisturizer or whatever, but um, sometimes it does with the extensions more hard than good. I'Ve noticed that um. When you do especially like me, if you're a daily wearer of the extensions, even with a leave-in, moisturizer or conditioner on these um, they still end up very just dry and dehydrated feeling um, which leads to having to put more and more product in every day. And eventually leads to the extensions having a product build up and getting really greasy and all of that stuff and when they get greasy, that means you have to wash them more and more and um washing them is really what i would say it shouldn't, but it Does like damage the extensions um, i noticed, even after the first time, washing these it felt almost like. There was a gloss on the extension to keep it really soft and then the first time after washing it. The gloss came out and um. They got like this, and just after every time i washed them more and more. I noticed it's like it loses that you know a lot of people. I think are way too kind on their youtube reviews when they do comparisons like oh well, they're, both great or they're brands like bellamy and zola. They advertise that you get six to eight months out of the hair when that's not really true, i'm gon na do another review later on, but um. I do like the length and i do like the color, but the quality i'm just really unimpressed. I was also unimpressed with bellamy's quality. I would probably just buy from like a local hair, vendor um or a beauty supply store or whatever. I don't really trust the hair extension brands like bellamy, luxy hair, which i've never tried but um all of those zala because um a lot of it is just like hype, marketing and hype product. I think you're better off going to just like a beauty vendor to buy um your extensions or whatever or like a wholesale buyer for them. I'M actually looking for a wholesale buyer for this because um, it's just better quality. So i'm not a huge fan of these hair extensions, um and everything like that. To be honest, um i do like the length but, like i said, i would rather just go to a beauty supply store and get 30 inch extensions from there. I already thought when these first came for 500 and the length they weren't exactly super thick, like it felt like when you first got them like you needed two packs to get like the full feeling that you would feel from like one pack of bellamy's or whatever. But then um over time, seeing how they've lost hair so quickly and thinned out so quickly um, you know it's definitely like. I just don't think i'm worth the 500. I feel like you could get way better hair for on 500 or just a higher quality bundle. But then again you guys it depends on what you're looking for um i wear mine daily as a part of like my daily style. If you wear them less, it might be a little bit like, but that's my review and um yeah. You guys should check it out, but just like anything, you know just like lip filler botox, whatever maintenance being a girl and maintenance to be you know, bougie or whatever, never cheap um and everything like that. But i do like length so yeah. That'S my little review. You guys and hope you enjoyed and um. Let me know what type of video review style or what you guys want to see next and everything like that. Okay, bye love you and make sure to um like comment share, subscribe and follow me on old platforms at audrey. So pretty - and i am also on only fans now - and i do have an amazon page too, where i have all my favorite beauty, hair products and all of that stuff on um. I really like this. Someone recommend it it's a heat protectant, but it doesn't make your hair greasy um. You can do it every day. Almost before you apply your product and um. This was great recommended by my hair, stylist, so really cool all right, guys.
