Hey guys, how are you it's Leila here and today's tutorial will be perfectly appropriate for spring and summer and I know being a girl. I love to experiment with my hair makeup and stuff like that, but when it comes to coloring my hair um, you know I learned my lessons when I was younger, because I used to kind of experiment with different colors and highlights, and things like that and in The process have really damaged my hair, so I've learned to not experiment with color so much, but I've came up with a really cool, simple way to add something different to your hair, as you can tell it looks like I have highlights, but you don't have to Damage your hair whatsoever, you know, you probably guess what I'm wearing I'm wearing luxy hair extensions and I'm wearing them in in a highlight color, I'm wearing them in a bleach blonde color, and I'm going to be showing you guys how to quickly and easily and with No damage create these super cute highlights for spring and summer, and you can, you know, clip them in when you want to take it out when you don't want to, and they're really really awesome, and I really love it and it's not. It looks great straight, but it also looks amazing in hairstyles like braids and ponytails, and when you curl your hair, it looks even more beautiful because it blends better because, as you can tell, I have small shorter layers. So sometimes it's harder to blend. But even though I think it looks very natural, it looks gorgeous and I just love it so much. I had to share it with you guys. So if you want to know how to do this, stay tuned and I'll show you exactly what to do and before I get into the tutorial, I should actually mention that I'm going to show you the results with two different colors right now, I'm wearing number two Dark brown for the dark, color and number six one three bleach blonde for the blonde color, I'm actually going to show you guys the end result, not a pot not how to do it, but the end result with bleach blonde as well. So, just for some contrast and just different colors that you can play with so, let's get into the tutorial and also to create the highlighter. You obviously are going to need two contrasting colors of extensions. Today, I'm going to use number two dark brown to match. My dark color, so a few weft from the dark realm and then a few EFTS from the bleach blonde. For that really high contrast in highlights, and I'm going to actually show you guys results for two different colors, so one will be bleach blonde and then another color will be dirty blonde for a less dramatic effect and I'll only show you the process with just the Bleach blonde because the process is the same and then the end results with both colors. So if you other things that you're going to need is clips to hold your hair and just a few different brushes this one I'll just brush through my hair, so just a regular paddle brush and then I find it's easier to kind of straighten and blend the Two with a round brush like this, and you might need a rat tail comb as well and then also a straightener, and today I'm using this one right here by Rowenta. It'S a really really good straightener. You guys have seen me curl my hair with this of straightener flat iron, and it works really really well. I usually just put it on the highest setting, which is 450 Fahrenheit and yeah. I highly recommend this both for straightening and Carlee, because the sides are curled in kind of curvy, so it's it works for both and definitely I've already sprayed both my hair and the extensions with a heat protectant spray. This is Tresemme heat, tamer spray, our favourite. So that's it, let's get started, and basically the process is exactly the same as if you would normally be clipping in you know your normal extensions, except for alternating the weft and I'll show you guys what I mean, and the first thing you want to do is Separate your section of hair at the bottom at the very bottom and I'm going to turn it around and do this the other way, so you guys can see what I'm doing so, basically, is what you want to do just separate a small section in the back And I'm going to start off with the bleach blonde color, and this is the three clip 12, so open up the clips and we're going to go in and just start clipping this in so once you've clipped in the bleach-blonde on the very bottom you're going to Alternate and go to the dark brown or whatever colors you're choosing for me, that's what it's going to be and the next weft out would be the four clipped weft, the smallest one of the two that would be in your 160 grams set. So this is the weft so for clipped worth so I'm going to open up the clips and then separate my hair and just clip it in exactly the same spot as you normally would so we're going to go in from about the back of the ears separate A section of hair clip it up and just go back and clip in the accessions. So now we have 2x in the next. One up is going to be a blood color, and this is the biggest forklift weft out of the 160 grams set. So again, I'm just going to open them up and you see the wets. Then the the numbering of the weft is going the same. So it's three clipped waft forklift weft, the smallest one forklift weft, the largest one and then a three clip weft in the back and we're just alternating the colors. So we're going to separate the hair above you ear, is kind of like around the temples and just clip it up, and then I'm going to turn around and just demonstrate where you would clip these in all right. So the last word is going to go above the web that you just placed and it's going to be a dark brown color for me - and this is a three clip weft so again we're just going to separate a section at the temple or that's helpful. Sorry I separate a section above kind of like your crown area, leave just enough hair for the weft. You don't need to leave a lot. This will be enough and then just clip it and then make sure your clips are open. We'Re going to go in the back okay, so all the wets in the back have been clipped in and now we're going to do the sides. So again, the process is exactly the same: we're going to separate the hair at the temples and just clip it up. I'M going to grab my darker color, so the dark brown and the two clip weft open up the clips and just clip it in the same spot that you normally would so just a little bit away from the temple. I mean the hairline and then pick up the hair up here and just clip that in alright, just like this and then we're gon na go with a separate one clip twice for the blonde for the sides and I'm going to go in with this one and Kind of apply it in the back of the ear somewhere around here, so just find a spot and just clip that in so once, you've clipped in your one blonde wept behind the ear you're going to kind of want to see where you want. The other highlight to be so for me, it's totally up to you wherever you want to place it for me. I think I'm just gon na do it somewhere around here, so I'm going to just find a spot where I want to clip it in and just go in and clip it in like this, and then you can always move it around. If you feel like it's not a very natural effect, you know it's totally up to you where you want to place it. I think I'm happy with it right here so then I want extra volume up up here at the front, so I'm going to just add a couple of the one clipped wax from the darker color and I'm going to go in above the two clip weft and Just add a few darker weft right here and then I'll add another one, because I'm just looking for extra volume on this somewhere around here I'll the darker one clipped worked like that and now this side is finished and it's so beautiful. I just love it and now we're going to tackle the other side so um. The process is exactly the same. You so now that we have them clipped in I'm, going to separate the hair into two sections and try to blend the hair and even more than it is right now which, for me, it's pretty blended already. But I want to just blend them in a little bit more. So what I do is you can try sectioning your hair, but for me I'm just gon na randomly pick out some sections um brush the hair first actually yeah always brush the hair, because you want to get rid of any tangles if they are now, I'm going To be using a brush to kind of brush and guide, so what I do is I just kind of put the hair over the brush grab my straightener and wherever your hair meets the extensions you're going to kind of start blending over there at that point. So for me, my layers and here so that's where I started and you're just going to go ahead and do that all the way around you all right so now that we're all done clipping in all of the extensions. This is what you are going to kind of end up with, depending on the colors you choose and the placement of your weft. I honestly love it. It just looks super natural and so thick and so beautiful and I just love how there's absolutely no damage to my hair. But now I have highlighted I'll show you guys quickly what it looks like I'll. Just show you the length. So this is what the ends of the hair looks like. I hope you guys enjoyed this I'll insert once I take these down I'll, do the other color and then I'll show you guys I'll insert it probably right now to show you what it looks like with the dirty blinds here are my highlights with a dirty blonde And you can tell it's definitely a lot more subtle and it's definitely, I think, a lot. It looks a lot better. I think, with my hair color, because it just looks more natural, because the highlights are kind of mixed in with the dark brown. They look sort of, like you, know, honey, golden kind of tonal. This darker color definitely blends better and definitely looks more natural, so I'll show you the back as well. It'S just really fun and you know really fast, so yeah. I hope you guys found this tutorial helpful and give it a try for spring and summer. It'S really fun. It'S really. You know awesome to change up your look without absolutely zero damage they own here, which is amazing, so yeah. Thank you so much for watching, and I will see you guys in the next tutorial Chad

I have been doing a lot of thinking on color and researching hair extensions. And this is perfect! I can do something different with my hair/ extensions and not have to worry so much about colors and dyes!! Thanks again!! This is awesome!

Andrea Jimenez: Hi girlys, quick question When ordering, am I able to mix colors so that I can have "extension highlights" like Leyla? Or do I have to order a separate set, other than the one that matches my hair color? Just like how Leyla did in this video.
Yvonne: I LOVE this idea! I'm going to try this look but with black hair to look like low lights.
Find Inner Peace: Some people may like it, some will not. I personally love this look. It'll look even better curled, I think lol. I've always wanted to get highlights in my hair but also do not want to damage it and this is a perfect alternative. I just might have to order myself some Luxy Hair! Anyway Leyla I love it you rocked this look. Gorgeous! xoxo
Lindsey Lockwood: Love the matching colors of you and your room!
LindaDulcinea: Your natural hair looks so beautiful and not damaged at all!
Blasian Butterfly: Love those blonde highlights with the extensions I will be trying that with mine.
Oh_ Hello: The brown looks great on you. I like to play with my colors too. After so many failed attempts at blonde; you learn to appreciate your natural color.

Ghostiiie kun: I know this is a very old video but if she were to show how to color them ombre and then put them in that would've been wonderful

Luxy Hair: @SweetSuenos21 Hey hun, since we sell 100% Remy Human Hair, there is only one texture available, which is straight with a slight wave. If you want permanently curled extensions, it's better to go with the synthetic kind :)
lailah420: Love it with dirty blonde, you should try it out with a red. I think that would look amazing with your hair/complexion
kshap1231: Hi Leyla, Love your videos. I had a question. Can you tell what colour is your natural hair? I just love how it looks. You have beautiful hair even without the extensions.:)
Green Gold: you look gorgeous and elegent without extensions
April Yson: it feels so heavy to wear all of those extension.. but it looks really great on you :)
Cynthia Law: Does it hurt when you clip the extensions in?

Emma Burns: Wow!! Thats so pretty! I love it
92ShaylA92: i love it! beautiful! <3
dancing1133: did you colour your hair? looks very nice!! ps. you look beautiful
Jessica Kerwin: I would dye the beach blonde bright pink or something fun, and I would never wear it straight because it doesn't blend with my hair very well for some reason but I personally LOVE them curled, I'm going to get a second pack to dye bright pink :) btw I have dark brown hair :P
Sh: i love your makeup would you plz make a tutorial on it plzz :)

Roxana URitescu: thank u so much for this video. I`ve got the same colour and hair length like u and have the same extensions(brown and bleach blonde), therefore this video suits me the best. was just looking for a video to find a better way to put them on and mix them, as when it`s straightened it looks a bit too fake and not blended enough, and like u said when it`s curled its better. thanks xx
Sky _: i love this hairstyle so kool and awesome i simply love ittttttttttttt!!
Marlon Berfelo: Can you do a video doing the same thing, but then with 1 shade darker and 1 shade lighter? Would love to see how that looks. xo
Alien: How do you set up your lighting and camera for your videos? It's so clear and gorgeous!
AroraRaunaq: i used to have your extensions and i still use the off black shade to match my natural hair and by mistake i ordered 2 sets of dirty blonde extensions for the highlights . then i wore one of the blonde sets and went to my hair dresser . i got them cut to my hair length and it looked amazing . i hope u try it and contact me soon :)
AroraRaunaq: hi leyla !!! it might sound wierd but when i saw the harsh comments , i was literaly in tears !!! i thought how could a person be so rude .... i agree the dirty blonde was so much better for you but the bleach blonde was also not bad at all !!! please don't stop wearing highlights ..... a lot of us wanna see u doing tutoriasl wearing highlights !!!!! please do some tutorials with highlights ... please please please please ,,, PRETTY PLEAASSEE !!!
meep1eats1sheep: I love you Leyla, your videos are amazing! xoxoxo from your Turkish viewer <3
Danni4skittlez: love it!
20MadeMoiselle: Hi Leyla! This is the first time I see comment that aren't very nice.. :/ Please don't get down because of those comments, Leyla and Mimi, cause you are amazing!! Thank you for yet another very cool vid. ;) Love you, xoxo
adi: simply amazing idea.....i always wanted to get highlight but i dont wnt to color ...thanks a ton ..:)
Lia Atkins: Omg i LOVE it!!!
julie g: Awesome !!! You have some very good idea ! You inspired me !
Zoë W: Can you do a tutorial on how to clean and remove hair from different types of brushes please? I'm not very good at it... :)
Kaitlyn Vile: i am having some trouble covering up the wefts in the back near the top (the 3 inch weft towards the top) of my head. does anyone have any suggestions on how to cover it better?
Luxy Hair: @ThePorcelainPiggy Thank you darling :) I think the dirty blonde would look fab if your hair is kinda golden chestnut brown :) But I'm sure black would look cool as well ;)
Jill4685: I would like to see this look with a less dramatic change in color..like dark and light browns. That must look really pretty
ThePorcelainPiggy: i LOVE this. for those of you who are not a fan, she did state at the beginning that this look is not for everyone. i have light/golden chestnut hair... i'm wondering if i should go with the dirty blonde (to make it look more caramel) or should i go black? my hair is much lighter than Leylas so the black would stand out more. PS: for those of you who would like to acheive this look but do not want to purchase a new set of extensions, sally's has options that may be cheeper.
sarah osh: can u do a tutorial on it curled with the highlights??? please!!
glitterqueen95: can you dye the hair extensions ? :S or would that just damage them?
xEveryxGirlx: How much do the extentions cost?
Jordan Earley: I really like this! I know some people think it looks fake, but I don't think it was intended to look natural. It's an edgy style that you can wear one day and not the next. And besides, most people's highlights look far from natural even when done at salon. Every time I've gotten my hair highlighted I ended up toning them at home because it was just so obvious I got my hair highlighted!
benemanoo: @yoitsjools Because it is better to dye light hair darker, than dark hair lighter. Most extension hair doesn't act great to bleaching. If you want ombre hair I recommend getting bleach blonde hair(basically the color that you want your ends to be,) and dye the top part darker to the shade of your own hair. This way you will not end up with badly damaged hair. Just healthy perfectly color-matched extensions to your own. I hope I could explain it well:)
disneychick62: Just beautiful!! U make it look so easy....LOL
Luxy Hair: @idalyz2sexy I used the lighter colors for the purpose of the video, so it would be more contrasting & visible :)
yaya s: I am loving your new hair color I love how the light hits it and you see the red in it what color is it ?
Gia Kashyap: @SweetSuenos21 ah well! :) i totally agree with you!! I just got their extensions and i tried merging it with my curly hair and its sort of tough.But i think i can't be blow drying my hair everyday by damaging it just to get beautiful unhealthy hair :) So what i do is -I leave my hair naturally curly and i curl my extensions.So it mixes perfectly with my curly hair! Hope you try it! [it depends on how curly your hair is too :) ]
Liyah: I wish I saw this video before I got my hair highlighted because thats exactly how I wanted my hair done, the highlights damaged my hair and it didn't even come out even...arg!
trueheartedbeauty: I think that's her personal preference, but if you wanted them more towards the top, move the wefts higher up - which will show more blonde :)
Madison Chase: I am planning on purchasing my own set of extensions. Did you dye your dark brown ones to match your hair color? They look red to me and I was wondering so I know what to expect
vyktorya: i love this look i find that alot of younger people like this look (teens) but i still like it :P (im 22)
msmysterygirl64: I realllllly wish I could afford them!!
PMSSweetKisses: i love it!!!
nifcloverfergie: I LOVE your hair shorter,i think it looks better and neater(:
poumayerling: Love it
Jana Elisa: i think it would look awesome with chestnut brown or chocolate brown either ;) But in my opinion it looks too fake with the bleach blond, the dirty blond blends - like you said - a lot better
karinamr: i think it would be nice with strawberry blonde too ;)
Lisa Soares: Thats a great tip indeed! Hugzz, Lisa
ch el: that is BEYOND GORGEOUS loooove the idea
benemanoo: You should do a diy tutorial on how to make ombre extensions! Just simlpy dye the top half, and add 1 inch to it after like 7 minutes, do it 3 times, And your short hairs blend, because you own brown colour would be on top, and at the ends the blonde would show. That would be so cute:)
Anne Calayag: So we have to buy 3 whole sets for this look? That's a bummer. I wish you guys would sell individual wefts for people who just want couple of highlights.
