X-Pression Outre Kinky Curly Crochet Hair! Install-Cut & Shape- Final Thoughts!

Hey guys welcome to my channel welcome back to my channel so today, I'm just gon na do a talk through on how I do my crochet braids using this hair that was sent to me from Sam's Beauty. It is the kinky curl, expression, 24 inch hair, and so all you see me right here doing is just laying my edges down and right there. I just showed you guys where I planned on doing my part. So if you are not a braid or like myself and don't have time for all those crisscross things, this is what I do. I simply just bright my hair straight back and then I take a piece of crochet here and I crochet two braids together, so that that gap kind of disappears, as you can see right there, if I'm not explaining it very well so then you have a part And then you, but you don't have a part, that's like all the way straight back, if that makes sense, so I planned on doing a middle part with this hair and also a side part, and so I'm doing the same thing right here. Just taking two braids mushing them together with a piece of crochet hair and tying them down, and getting rid of that that little section, of course, that butt gap, so all I'm doing here, is just simply adding in the crochet hair kind of sectioned by section. Of course, and then you see one half of my head done in this clip? Okay, so here I ended up splitting the hair, which was kind of difficult, because this hair is so long. I'M splitting this hair into four the front pieces was a. It was a bit of a challenge, but I I did the best. I could um also another trick that I'm doing right here. It'S the way I try and get my front to look a little bit more natural like right at the edges is the same thing. Just take two braids and smush them together with one piece of crochet here, so that that gap disappears. I don't like seeing you know the individual braids in the front of my hair with crochet here, what I'm doing crochet braids, so that's kind of how I get rid of it and it does not put a lot of tension either on your edges in here. I'M just taking a piece of crochet here and just cutting it through. That'S the best way to do it, so you don't get any tangles or anything like that. So this is the hair in all of its glory. Before I cut it and it's super super full. I just stopped adding some hair to see where I was at. So that's why you may see some gaps and here do not pull on curly hair, I'm about to get into cutting it for you guys, but what you don't want to do is pull on curly hair before cutting it. That'S gon na make your hair be even shorter, so what I try and do is give my hair kind of a heart shape and with that I just kind of style it the way as far as you know, middle part or whatever I'm gon na do and Then just kind of let the hair fall as natural as possible, and then I begin cutting. So if you see the difference here, you'll kind of see that layered look and I definitely wanted to keep this hair super super long. Well, that's super long, but as long as I can definitely keep it and once I kind of got that shape, I went in a little bit more and I sectioned the hair. Wahhhh split the hair in two on one side and I did a little bit more layering to give me a little bit more volume. And so that's what you see me doing right here and getting some hair out of my eyes and just cutting pieces being trying. My best not to pull as well on the hair, but of course I am pulling a little bit when I just say: don't pull a pool, it's kind of a hard thing to get to not do. But you know I try my best like I said to not do it because I know it's just gon na make my hair a lot shorter, so guys I love this hair when I was installing it like right. When I worried, I worried a family event and I got compliments on my hair and I worked out. I got compliments. I was really feeling this hair in the beginning and then it just kind of left me down. It'S the it just did not say like this, but i'ma. Let you guys enjoy this little section right here before y'all. Hear me talk so just stay tuned, finish, watch watching the cutting video and just stay tuned for my final review after it. Thank you. Alright, hey you guys welcome to my channel or welcome back to my channel, so today I just wanted to. Actually you saw the video on how I install this hair and how I cut it. Sorry, if I'm talking low again, you guys know that I film, when my baby is napping, so I get right into this review really quickly. The videos already I'm sure super long, so I'm not gon na make it any longer um. So the hair was sent to me by seems beauty. This is the expression kinky curly hair. It comes if you couldn't see it in the video. It comes in pieces that are easy for you, of course, to go ahead and crochet in your hair. The pieces are actually very, very soft and the hair is super super springy and bouncy. So I have a love-hate relationship with this here um. I love it simply for the fact that it resembles natural hair to a tee. In my opinion, when I see like big natural hair on Instagram and on YouTube, and everything like that, like this hair to me, it resembles it like, especially when it's kind of a little bit older and it's not so silky or anything like that. As you can see right now, I've had it in for a week and when you guys saw me, I was in Dallas visiting my parents, but now I am back at home for my natural girls or anyone who wants to try this. Let me go with the pros really quickly like if that resembles natural hair says he. It was very easy for me to put it in, and I like how long it came so that you're able to do cut it. However, you want it to and do different styles with it and make it as big as you wanted to, or not as big or full as you wanted to as well. So the reason why I have a hate relationship with his hair is because of everything else. Um it sheds like crazy. It tangles like crazy as well, and I don't know if that was simply because I put too much hair in I started off with. Actually, I put in, I ordered, I think, six packs of this hair and I only put in five packs and at first I was like I I could not stand this hair every single night I tied it up just like I normally would my own hair or My own, you know whatever I was wearing because I've worn kinky curly weave before so the the maintenance on that is a little bit more. So I know every single night I need to tie it up, put some braids in it. Everything like that, but every time I undid it each morning for the entire week y'all the hair was tangled and it was shedding. It was shedding and it was just bad. Like I said a just went by, and so I said well let me see, maybe if it's still just too long, because as you can see, I did cut it. I'Ve been cutting it shorter and shorter and shorter as the week went by, because it's been very very hard to deal with and maintain, and so I said well, let me also take some hair out because I didn't want to completely count this hair out, simply because I put too much here in it, I mean I installed too much hair, and so I wondered if that like made it a little bit too hard for me to manage - and I ended up taking hair out, maybe a whole like pack of hair, maybe more and It still was it's, it still did not help it. So I don't know, maybe I'm just not the best right now at installing crochet. Here I am learning. This is only my third install using crochet here, I'm gon na be completely honest with you. I feel like this hair would be great as like, if you're doing a big bun or you needed to add in more hair to your natural hair, I think the hair would be awesome. I don't think the hair would be super great ask shei here. If you did use the hair as crochet here, the 24 inches is more like 30 inches for one I'm 5/3 in this hair is super super long. I would definitely cut the hair before you even installed it, because splitting the hair and everything like that is just gon na cause more frizz, and it's just gon na be harder for you to to put in so I would definitely cut the hair some and then Install it, and only probably just use, maybe three packs, maybe three and a half and see where you're at undo it tease it a little bit because it's gon na happen anyways and then install some more as needed. If you need to as needed. If you need to that's the same thing, so that's where I'm at with this at this point, you guys I'm just ready to take it out. I think I would revisit this hair again in the future for like different styles, I'm really thinking maybe about doing um like feet and braids with this hair, or I don't know something not just a bun or like that, but actual you know a cute style or Something like that, I just had a really exhausting week. My braids are coming undone they're super loose up here. I just this hair cost me. It was just the Blues for me this week and I thought that it would be so much better and it was, it definitely was not and unfortunately it happens. Not everything is gon na be perfect, but I also don't want to come on here and tell you guys. Oh this is gray, it's so pretty and easy to manage and you guys are gon na love. It make sure you go buy this hair the little block, because it's not the case, I'm gon na tell you guys the truth and, like I said, the hair is pretty it's, so I do love it. I do love the texture and I think it's really pretty. If we, if I just get past the shedding and the tangling, maybe that's something I did. I think this hair will be yes, ma'am, yes idea, that's how I think this hair would be super super super cute. That'S really it for this review. You guys. I hope you guys enjoyed the how I styled and how I cut the hair. Like I said, just keep in mind if you choose to go ahead and buy this, keep in mind is gon na be some work. I also did try doing like using leave-in conditioner using mousse for this hair. I tried everything under the Sun to not get it to tangle or map or anything like that and reduce the shedding. But nothing worked for me, unfortunately, so yeah, so that's it. You guys.
