- Hey everyone, welcome to the channel.
Today I'm gonna share with you my top tips
on how to seamlessly blend your amazing Milk and Blush
hair extensions.
I always get so many questions on how I keep my extensions
looking really, really natural and blended with my own hair.
These tips are ones that I live by.
I use them every single time I clip
in my Milk and Blush hair extensions.
I'm sure you're gonna use them as well.
So, let's get straight into the video.
Tip number one is using your one clip hair extensions
that come in your classic or your seamless set.
They look just like this.
I love using this near the front of my hair
'cause they make your hair blend so seamlessly
with the extensions, especially if you've got shorter hair
like I have.
My hair comes to about there.
You kind of see that without the clip,
you get this kind of disconnect
but I'll pop the clip in and you can see how
easily it blends.
You can see, you've got a smoother blend there.
You can always take your extensions to your hair stylist
as well to get them trimmed to match your own hair.
But, I find that these one clip wefts
work amazingly well.
Tip number two from seamless blending
is using a root touch-up spray.
I've mentioned this in my videos before
but I thought it was worth mentioning again
because it's such a good hack for your hair extensions,
especially if you've got finer hair.
Or, you've got blonde hair and your roots
are coming through a bit more.
I use the L'Oreal Magic ReTouch spray.
You can get root touch-up sprays
from most drugstores.
You can get them online as well, quite inexpensively.
It basically means that your wefts
are much easier to disguise at the root.
I've got two of my wefts here from my triple weft set.
This is the weft without the root touch-up spray
and this is the weft with the root touch-up spray.
You can see that it gives much more of a natural look
as if your roots are growing out.
If I hold them up, yeah.
This one here is the one without the root touch-up spray
and this is with the root touch-up spray.
You can see that it's much closer to my natural colour.
So, you know, if I'm out and about
and the wind does blow and one of my wefts comes on show,
it's gonna be much less obvious
with the root touch-up spray.
My third tip for you guys is to blend your own hair
into your extensions using a flat iron.
I find that this is one of the best tips
for a seamless blend.
While I'm placing my wefts in,
I like to run the straightener through the weft
and through my own hair kind of when I'm putting
each weft in.
So, I go step by step.
I find the easiest way to do this is
you're using your straightener or your flat iron
and using a loop brush as well.
I like to take the hair, my own hair and the extension,
start to brush them together,
and then I place my flat iron on top like this.
Then you run them both down
really slowly.
That way you get a really smooth, seamless blend
and your own hair goes into the extensions as well.
While we're on the subject of styling,
I think that it's so important to match your extensions
to the own natural texture of your hair.
So, take into account your own texture.
If you have naturally curly hair,
you're gonna want to curl your extensions as well.
If you have smooth sleek hair,
you're gonna want to straighten them.
If you have Afro hair, maybe crimp the extensions
just so they blend and they look really, really natural.
Tip number four is choosing the right length for you.
Here at Milk and Blush,
the best lengths for me, personally,
are 12 to 14 inch and 16 to 18.
This is because my hair is quite short to begin with.
If you're not sure what length you want to go for,
then we recommend taking a tape measure
and measuring from the middle of your ear downwards.
You can run your fingers down the tape measure
until you meet the place where you'd want your hair to end.
Then, you can get a rough idea of what length to go for.
Tip number five is to take your extensions
to your hair stylist and ask them to blend them
with your own hair.
I did mention this briefly when I talked
about the one clip weft.
I think it's really, really important.
If you want that gorgeous, natural look
then it's a really good idea to take your extensions
to your hair stylist and they can advise you
on the right shape to go for.
They can trim them and add layers to make them look
even more natural.
Lastly, tip number six is probably my favourite
and I do this literally every time
I put my extensions in.
It's clipping up your short hairs
at the nape of your neck.
If you've seen my Five Tips and Tricks for Fine Hair video,
then you'll know I love this one.
Basically, all I do before I put any of my extensions in
I run my fingers, kind of,
halfway between my ears, back, and I clip all this hair up.
You can twist this and bobby pin it
or you can braid it and bobby pin it up.
It's completely up to you.
But just so it's out of the way.
Then I clip more of my extensions in.
You'll find that you won't get those really annoying
short hairs poking out here,
which is, let's face it, a big giveaway
that you're wearing hair extensions.
We want them to look completely natural.
So, there you have it, guys.
That's how you get a seamless blend
with your Milk and Blush hair extensions.
