My name is Vanessa, and today we're gon na be talking about how you can go from short hair to longer hair, with a balayage effect without actually having to dye. Your hair I'll also be sharing some tips and tricks with you on how to blend hair extensions. With shorter hair lengths and also everything, you need to know well balayage extensions, let's get started. So if you don't know a Bali ahsha's, it's actually a French colouring technique where color is hand painted into the hair rather than using foil or cap. Highlighting this creates a really soft, more natural, looking gradual, highlighted effect, so no harsh or obvious lines think sunkissed and multi-tonal. A lot of people ask what the differences between ombre and balayage ombre is when the hair cohesively and gradually goes from one color to another. Usually, darker to lighter you can see a gradual shift like a dip dye effect, I'm going to be showing you how I blend my 20 inch ash brown, balayage, luxy, hair extensions with my short hair. So, yes, you can 100 %. Add some kiss dimension to your hair without real dye damage or commitment. Let'S get into it. First up my balayage luxe C's are 180 grams, but I will be adding a balayage volumizer, because my hair is on the shorter side, so I'll need a little extra thickness to speed up the process. I usually like pre curling, my Lexi's on the deluxe styler. This way they're ready to go, and I can clip them in and not worry about, styling them because I have short hair. A great tip is to braid the bottom layer of your short hair to make it easier to blend. If your haircut is on the choppier side, this is really helpful. If you have a lot of layering, you may not need to do this. I just braid and then pin it up with bobby pins like this. Now we're ready to clip in our first weft. I usually start with a 3 clip twist another trick to blending short hair with long extensions is to stack your less that way. You'Re concentrating the thickness near the bottom of the hair, which is where you need to build up the thickness the most rather than layering. Wefts one by one on your head, I like to clip the for clipped wefts together like this and then clip the bottom one here like this. If you have a really blunt short cut or really thick hair, I need some extra thickness definitely grab a buck, see hair volumizer. This will add 45 grams of extra thickness. Once all my ruffs are clipped in I'll brush everything out and now I'm just going to touch up my waves with the curling wand, a great tip for short hair is to take a straightener and almost straighten your short ends into the long waves. Lastly, I'll finish the look off with a spritz of hairspray and set the look. That'S it if you have short hair and want to wear hair extensions using multi, tonal extensions like ombre, balayage or highlighted extensions, is a lot easier to blend than with a solid shade, because the color dimension can help conceal any choppy ends and make the blend more Seamless, looking another great tip for blending short hair with hair extensions is to ask your hairstylist to point cut your natural hair. This is when they use an upwards motion and cutting, and this softens your ends to help create a softer blend. I love being able to change my hair color and make it look like.
