    blonde hair extensions usually come very brassy  like this these are full shine extensions these
  • 00:00:06
    are tapin which is what I would recommend if  you're doing hair extensions on yourself by
  • 00:00:10
    yourself for full transparency this brand is not  the best it's not the worst you're going to get
  • 00:00:14
    about a month out of these you can maybe get two  by redoing the tape I'll show you how to do that
  • 00:00:19
    at the end but you're definitely not getting  6 months out of these when I wear extensions
  • 00:00:23
    this is the brand I always use to get this yellow  out we're going back to the color wheel we talked
  • 00:00:28
    about a few weeks ago I have yellow directly  across from yellow is violet or purple when they
  • 00:00:34
    Collide or meet in the middle it neutralizes the  yellow out it gives you a nice neutral tone that's
  • 00:00:39
    what we're going to do today we're going to tone  these we're not using an actual hair color toner
  • 00:00:44
    like we talked about last week with the color  the developer the wet hair 15 minutes you want
  • 00:00:48
    to avoid any kind of bleach real colors or toners  on hair extensions hair extensions have already
  • 00:00:54
    been processed very aggressively so the cuticle  is inflamed out of whack it's not good the last
  • 00:01:01
    thing you want to do is to slap some color on  here bleach lightener whatever you want to call
  • 00:01:06
    it and ruin the hair so this is the safest way  you're going to need a bowl plastic Bowl I like
  • 00:01:11
    to use this one it's from the Chinese restaurant  I love egg drop soup lukewarm water in here now
  • 00:01:16
    we're going to add purple shampoo doesn't have  to be this brand this is just what I have put
  • 00:01:20
    some purple shampoo in here add more water you'll  have something like this you're going to wet these
  • 00:01:27
    like this very important to wet these before you  dunk them in here if you just dunk them with dry
  • 00:01:33
    hair it's going to be a splotchy result you're  going to have patches of purple gray areas it's
  • 00:01:37
    not going to look great in the dunking booth goes  the hair you want to leave the taped ends out or
  • 00:01:44
    fusions whatever extensions you're using leave the  bond out we don't want to get this wet before we
  • 00:01:49
    actually apply them the timing on this is just a  couple minutes you can see it's working super fast
  • 00:01:55
    you'll want to rinse these with cool water until  the water runs clear you can shampoo them if you
  • 00:01:59
    want I usually don't also you'll want to do small  batches like this this is about seven pieces you
  • 00:02:05
    don't want to dip the whole bundle in there it's  going to be hard for it to all penetrate through
  • 00:02:09
    so you just want to do little batches at a time  remember take your time girl you're wearing this
  • 00:02:13
    take your time if you dunk these and they're way  too Violet you can take a clarifying shampoo and
  • 00:02:18
    shampoo these to get that Violet tint out dandruff  shampoo will also work really well if you don't
  • 00:02:23
    have any of that just use any shampoo shampoo  it a couple times it will come out it's just
  • 00:02:28
    a temporary shampoo the reasoning we tone these  first before we put them in our head and then just
  • 00:02:33
    shampoo it is because our real hair is going to  take longer to accept this color this works really
  • 00:02:39
    fast this was about a minute where my real hair  I could leave it on for 5 minutes and maybe get
  • 00:02:44
    this result maybe not I'll probably have to use a  color toner especially me cuz my hair is golden to
  • 00:02:50
    dry these you're not remember this isn't the best  quality of hair so we can't be taking blow dryers
  • 00:02:56
    curling irons every day to it you can't well you  can't but it's not going to last long the ends are
  • 00:03:02
    going to start getting Puffy you're going to start  getting Rat's Nest Matty it's not going to be good
  • 00:03:06
    look the easiest way to dry these is on a hanger  you can fold it over the hanger like this but
  • 00:03:10
    you're going to have a crease just know that take  this with a clothes pin I just hang mine on the
  • 00:03:16
    door seal door frame what is that crown molding  I don't know and turn the fan on you do not want
  • 00:03:21
    to put these outside if it's sunny outside the  less heat the better now when they're actually
  • 00:03:26
    in your hair you've got all the tapes in here  here and it's shampoo day you're going to shampoo
  • 00:03:32
    everything really well you want to blow dry this  part the we the bond whatever you want to call it
  • 00:03:37
    you want to blow dry that part but let the ends  air dry if you don't blow dry the bond it's going
  • 00:03:43
    to make it come out faster eventually it will turn  to this gummy like gooey texture and they'll just
  • 00:03:49
    slide apart so you do want to blow dry the bonds  blow dry the top of your hair to style it but let
  • 00:03:54
    the rest of this the bottom that needs to air dry  also a heat protectant is recommended I'll usually
  • 00:04:00
    do this process the day before I'm actually  going to put them in so they can just dry while
  • 00:04:05
    I'm sleeping and the next day we'll pop them in so  here's what it looks like on the hanger I just did
  • 00:04:09
    eight pieces of hair you're going to have multiple  hangers or you can get those pants hangers that
  • 00:04:13
    have multiple tear to them I used to do it that  way but I like to use a single hanger now because
  • 00:04:18
    they don't overlap each other and they can get  full maximum air flow for reference I use two
  • 00:04:23
    full packs of hair so two of these which would be  100 G or 40 pieces if you're doing the full head
  • 00:04:29
    you do need at least two packs of these one is  definitely not enough for any type of hair unless
  • 00:04:34
    you're just doing a few front pieces sometimes  I'll just wear them in the front definitely would
  • 00:04:37
    recommend at least having two here they are dry  the yellow's gone it's a nice ashy silvery tint
  • 00:04:45
    tone platinum blonde could have dipped it closer  to the top because this is still yellow that's
  • 00:04:51
    okay here's another set of extensions I've colored  with different shampoos and actually this is the
  • 00:04:55
    pants hanger I was talking about you can hang  them all on this so you're just using one this
  • 00:05:00
    is from at home it's an overwhelming store filled  with things to decorate your home these extensions
  • 00:05:06
    are also full shine they're just clip-ins I toned  these with blue shampoo and put a drop of pink
  • 00:05:12
    hair color in them the same method I don't know  if this will pick it up on camera but they have
  • 00:05:16
    a little bit of a rose tint to them this is a you  part wig is it no it's a hair piece it Clips in
  • 00:05:24
    the back and you cover the top with your real  hair this needs some maintenance it is Frizzy
  • 00:05:29
    but it is toned with blue shampoo you can tone  them in this egg drop soup bowl any kind of way
  • 00:05:34
    you want to with any kind of color you customize  it to match your hair for your real hair I would
  • 00:05:40
    recommend using an actual toner the color the  developer wet hair 15 minutes if you're wanting
  • 00:05:45
    to change the tape on these this sticky part let's  say you wore them for a month and you took really
  • 00:05:50
    great care of them you can take this tape off and  apply new tape so you can get another wear out of
  • 00:05:55
    these just trim the ends put a deep mask on it  a deep mask a conditioning mask you want to stay
  • 00:06:01
    away from oils though because you don't want oil  to get on the weft or your scalp because it makes
  • 00:06:07
    these loosen up this is a timec consuming thing I  don't really have any fingernails or well I don't
  • 00:06:12
    look at them you're just going to try to get  a piece of this see that and tear this off you
  • 00:06:17
    do have to be careful because if you do this too  hard it will Rip this in half which by the way I'm
  • 00:06:22
    thinking about this if you have super fine thin  hair you can cut these and make micro extensions
  • 00:06:27
    here it goes who rubbing alcohol on a paper towel  and wipe this if you use a cotton ball and there's
  • 00:06:32
    sticky residue the cotton ball falls apart and it  makes a mess there's cotton everywhere just use a
  • 00:06:36
    paper towel this is the brand I would recommend  the packaging on this always looks different but
  • 00:06:41
    it is Walker tape no shine Bond oh it says  packaging may vary okay this is the best one
  • 00:06:46
    and I'm only going through this with you because  sometimes especially this company which they have
  • 00:06:53
    improved on it recently I've noticed the tape is  awful you'll put all these in spending an hour
  • 00:06:58
    putting it in your head shampoo your hair and  they'll all fall out it's nothing you did wrong
  • 00:07:03
    it's just sometimes the tape is not good to give  them credit the last four or five times I ordered
  • 00:07:09
    them the tape was fine in case that happens  you'll know what to do looks like this peel this
  • 00:07:16
    off okay that didn't line up as well as I  would have liked it to you'll just reapply
  • 00:07:24
    it here and then you have a new piece of tape  also make sure your hands are clean and you've
  • 00:07:28
    washed them with soap our hands have a lot of  oil on them and you don't want oil ever near
  • 00:07:33
    these you want to avoid hair oils I would even  avoid them on your real hair just use a cream
  • 00:07:38
    based treatment like this it's a 10 Miracle  leave-in that wraps up our hair extension
