- Hi guys.
Welcome to the channel.
Today's video is going to be all about how to use
your Milk and Blush hair extensions,
if, like me,
you've got fine or thin hair.
I know from experience that it can be really irritating
if you've got hair like mine
to put the hair extensions in,
and conceal the wefts
and making sure that they look flawless.
But I'm going to show you some really, really clever tips
on how to conceal the wefts
and make sure your hair looks amazing all the time.
Okay, straight into tip number one.
If, like me, you've got fine hair,
sometimes these bits of hair at the bottom can poke
out of your extensions.
I mean, that can happen anyway,
whether you've got thick hair or thin hair.
But I find with my hair it looks especially bad,
because they're wispy,
so what you can do for this,
is if you're putting your wefts in as normal,
just gonna pin my hair up so you can see,
you're gonna take this bit of hair,
and just twist it around,
and kind of pop it up like that.
It doesn't have to be neat
because you're not going to see it,
and then you just pop in some bobby pins to secure it.
So, if you can see that,
you've got a nice little base there.
And then you just put your first weft on top of that.
So as well as hiding those little bits of hair
at the bottom,
you're also giving the wefts
something to cling onto as well.
I mean, you can do this whether you've got thick hair
or fine hair.
It's a good tip to use
whenever you're using hair extensions.
Right, top tip number two.
When you've got fine hair like me,
or it's thinner,
don't feel like you need to use all of the wefts
to make your hair look thicker.
For example,
there are all the ones I use and you can see that's plenty.
The nice thing about Milk and Blush hair extensions
is that they're so thick.
You don't actually have to use all of them so you can judge
what style you're doing or what look you want to go for,
and see how many you're happy with.
On to tip number three,
if you've got fine hair and it's quite soft naturally,
you might worry that the wefts will slip a little bit
when you're wearing them throughout the course of the day.
If you put a little bit of product in the root,
it will give something for the weft to grip on
so you've got that extra bit of security.
I like to use a little bit of dry shampoo.
You can get so many different dry shampoos now.
It's not just for kind of greasy hair days.
This one is actually a volumizing one
which is really nice for fine or thin hair.
So I'll show you how I do it.
Pull a section of my hair where I need to put the weft,
and just clip that out of the way.
And then just pop a little bit of the dry shampoo
right in the root.
And you'll feel already that your hair has got that little
bit extra texture.
And then you just pop your weft on top of that.
And just clip that in as normal.
And then you've just got that extra bit of hold,
extra bit of security for your wefts.
So, on to tip number four.
This is similar to the dry shampoo in that this tip
gives you a little bit of security blanket
when you're wearing hair extensions.
It stops you worrying about your hair extensions
slipping out or falling out,
and it's back combing.
So I like to use a couple of different things
when I'm back combing.
I either use a simple comb like this
or a back combing brush.
I'd really recommend getting one of these.
They're really good for back combing,
really good for different styles and updos
and everything like that.
So I'll show you how I do it.
Just gonna pop that out of the way.
And take your backcombing tool,
and just gently backcomb the root.
So it'll stop your wefts from slipping,
and look.
It doesn't slip at all.
Tip five.
Crimping.
Don't panic.
Trust me, it works.
If you don't like backcombing,
I know some people don't like the knots that it leaves,
or find it hard to wash out or brush out,
get yourself one of these little crimpers.
These give you instant root lift,
and they're really, really handy
for putting your extensions in,
and not having to put extra product or anything like that
in your hair.
They're also good for different volume of styles as well.
So I'll show you how I do it.
Just grab the piece of hair that your weft
is going to clip onto,
and go as close to the root as your can,
and just hold that for a couple of seconds.
As you can see,
that's given me root lift.
And then you just clip the weft on top of that,
flip your hair over,
and you've got pretty much effortless volume.
So I've utilised my top tips to put
my hair extensions in.
As you can see,
my hair looks far from fine.
It looks really thick,
really volumous.
And I find it really helps as well to pop in a nice curl
in your hair as well
to make it look that bit bigger.
I've used a larger barrel tong,
and curled away from my face.
This gives you more volume.
And just brushed it out slightly.
And, as you can see,
it looks lovely and thick.
So that's the finished look.
