Hello there! Oh my what a compliment that is! I am so glad to have re-inspired you in some way! I fully know what you are describing- I also became very bored with doing hair as well (I hated doing haircuts, blowouts) and struggled to find what it was I loved about hair again. I feel like extensions are so rewarding, to be able to help someone feel their best. And it’s a fun process too where you can get very creative! Let me know if you have any other questions, and best of luck! 💖💇🏼‍♀️

@@thegirlnextdoord I do have a question: where can I learn? I am feeling i tip and nano ring is up my alley...precice, cost effective, least damaging to the hair, repetitive and satisfying.

Hair bored me to death too and I’ve just enrolled to refresh all things extensions

I would love to offer this to my clients This method looks like it would last the longest with the least amount of damage.But I would also incorporate a small dab of hair glue inside the microlink before securing the bead.Many people complain that they slip out and this seems like an answer to that 🥰❤️👍💯

Where is your salaon located​@@thegirlnextdoord

Hello hun! Wow, thank you so much for your comment, that means a ton! I wish you the best of luck with your diagnosis, I know how incredibly hard a health condition can be. I think you would be an amazing candidate for these extensions, it can give you length and some extra thickness as well! They will not damage your natural hair at all which is why I swear by them. And believe it or not, hair only grows a half inch a month so you might be right on target with your hair growth! I know how it feels though when you are trying to grow it but it feels as if it’s taking forever. Extensions are a great gift in this situation. You must have talent if you are the family hairdresser♥️ Thank you again for tuning in love! Xoxox

@@thegirlnextdoord I loved this video. It's going to make it much easier when I decide to do this, since I will probably try on my own...with help from my sister in law. I got a really bad "pixie cut" from a mall when I was 15. I wanted it short, but idk WHAT that lady was doing, thinking, smoking, or going for. She hacked my hair off so weirdly that I've never went back to a stylist, except to highlight more than one color. I've trimmed my own since then after I had to fix a haircut the day I got it. I cried for three days after that. I cut almost all of mine and my husband's family's hair, including our two kids.. My son rocks a frequent Mohawk at 6, andy daughter has an a line lob,lol. We have 17 siblings between us. He has 7, I have 10. So I get plenty of practice, and one of my sister in laws only comes to me now after I fixed a hack job she endured. She has waist length hair, and it devastated her, so we let it grow and layered it along the way. My hair is my passion, and making someone else feel that about themselves means a lot. Luckily I'm on a shot once a month for the PSA, so it is manageable, and I consider myself lucky since many others don't get the same😢. Thanks for the response. It's hard to find people who are genuine, and as beautiful inside as they are out.

Heya! How’s your hair now? On a “normal” head of hair, 1/2” a month is normal. So 6” a year is pretty normal. An inch every 2 months. How much does your stylist cut when you get it done? Does she cut more than what has grown? I do “hair dusting” or “just the sawdust” when cutting my clients hair.

Average rate hair grows is about 6 inches per year 😂 Some people just have hair that seems to grow a lot faster than that. Usually it's something internal, not external that is off. Vitamin D deficiency can cause hair loss or slowed growth, vit D, Biotin, Collagen, Saw Palmetto, these things will help your hair grow longer, thicker and healthier 😊 Hope this helps

Hello love! You are the sweetest, I truly appreciate the nice words! ♥️ Makes me so happy to hear. I try to help in any way I can! I hope you are staying safe and thank you again 😀Xoxo

Hi Amanda! Aww♥️ Thank you SO much! Just made my day. Xoxo 😄

I definitely agree! Super simple

Hello Brandi! Thank you SO MUCH! That is so kind of you! I am so glad you found this video helpful ☺️ I have always wanted to try Dreamcatchers, they have such GORGEOUS hair! Best of luck in the extension field, they are so much fun! ♥️Truly my favorite! Xoxo

Hello Alayna! 💖 Thank you so much, your comments have made my day! I am so sorry it took me some time to respond. Oh 80’s hair was the BEST, I am sure you rocked it back then! You are so sweet, thank you for such compliments. They truly mean so much! Especially the voice for tv one, totally made my day lol 💖

Hello Rebecca! Wow, you are so incredibly kind, I cannot thank you enough for saying that💗 Yes I definitely will make another video with a close up of taking them out! I did make another video which shows some of that process but it’s not super close up, check it out if you’d like! I have 3 extension videos total ♥️🙂Xoxo

So I've found as long as you're careful brushing them they're fine, but they don't end to get caught.

Thank you so much Nancy! I appreciate the kind comment! ♥️🤗 Extensions are my absolute favorite, you’d never know it wasn’t her real hair! Xoxo

Thank you so much Stevie! ♥️

Hi Tamela!! 💖 Thank you so much for the kind comment, truly appreciate it! Thanks for checking out my page as well! Xoxo☺️☺️

hi

Lpg 8 Thank you so much! I am glad you found this video informational 😊 I am the same way! Any kind of extension definitely takes some getting used to- some are more uncomfortable than others but I find this to be the most comfy in my opinion!

Hello love! ♥️ So the client I did extensions on in my video had the exact same concerns! She would wash her hair every day (before extensions). I advised her that in a perfect world, try to wash every other day if possible. But- You definitely can wash every day- but it may lessen the life of how long the extensions stay in if you aren’t careful. As long as you are very careful, you can wash every day. #1 tip is avoid getting conditioner on the beads/bonds, and only put conditioner on the mid shaft/ends. Also, avoid pulling and tugging on the hair when shampooing. Try more of a gentle lather and let the shampoo sit for a few moments before washing. My client is proof that you can wash often! They lasted her 4 months which is a super long time. As far as the beads poking, after the first week they begin to settle and you don’t really feel them any more! The first week is the hardest but once the hair begins to grow and the extensions settle- it’s like they’re not even there! ♥️

Thank you so much for the kind words Faith! 😀❤️♥️

Hi hun! Absolutely, that will be one of the next videos I post, promise! 💖😘

@@thegirlnextdoord please 🙏🏼 i would like to see a video too 💜

Hello! So sorry, the video wound up coming a bit darker than I would have liked. I will be filming a new video soon where I’ll be sure to show up close and very detailed how to apply the bead!

Hello TJ! 🧡 Best of luck and I hope you absolutely love them! As long as they are put in correctly by the hairdresser, you should not see them at all. ☺️ They are places far enough away from the hairline so they should not pop through- if they do, just tease your hair a little bit and that should help!

Danielle Lisa thank you!!!

Hell Kimi! Thanks so much for your comment! 💖 Funny enough I actually just posted a video recently where I remove the extensions and redo them (all in the same video! The link is: m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oqubgq2orZnblKs.html Of course! “Moving the extensions up” means we have to loosen the bead that holds the extension onto the hair, and slide the bead and extension back up toward the root (Since the hair grows and a root forms). After you have extensions put in, they have to be redone in a few months and moved back up closer to the root. Some people reuse the same bead and slide the bead and extensions back up- but I like to use new beads every time (so technically I’m fully removing the bead and extensions and replacing, some people use move the beads up and reuse them.) I hope this makes sense! Please let me know your thoughts and any other questions you have! 😘 the video link above may help show the process of removing and redoing them!

Hi Nicole! That’s where it gets a little tricky. I’ve found everyone charges different prices for extension services. I personally charge differently for every client but try to stick with around $50-100 hour without the cost of hair. My prices are very low compared to others. I know several other hairdressers who charge between $500-3000. My best advice is to call various salons and get a quote before hand until you find a place that matches your price point!

Danielle Lisa omg can u come Do my hair !

Where are you Located

Nicole jaycox did u mean u charge $50-100 per hour?

Its usually $1500

Thank you so much Iliana! You are so sweet! 💖☺️

Thanks so much Jo! ☺️☺️ It does take a very long time but it’s so awesome to see how much of a difference it makes!

Hello Kiersten! Thank you so much for your comment, it was so sweet! 💕 Yes, you are definitely not the first to say that they can be itchy! 😔 I find the reason for the itch is sometimes if the weight of the extensions is too heavy, they tend to pull down on your natural hair,which causes itch and discomfort. Would you happen to know the weight of your extensions?! These are .7 grams, so they’re not all too heavy. Also the longer the extension, the more pull you’ll get sometimes. Keep me posted love! Also, You have such a pretty name, I love it! -Danielle ❤️

cut ur hair..dont use extension..waste money

Could have been a metal allergy to the rings. You can get shrink wrap style connectors made of rubber stuff.

@@jillsmith8914 thx for the tip. Do the shrink wrap ones make it so I’ll still be able to use conditioner on my scalp? I need it to battle dry scalp.

you can re-use the strands of extensions that are added to the hair. Every 2-3 months you should have the ring removed and move the extensions up toward your scalp as your natural hair grows.

Hello Marylynn! ♥️ Pixie cuts are gorgeous, but can be tricky when it comes to extensions! Sometimes it’s a bit difficult to hide the extension and bead of the hair is too short. I’d say extensions may be possible if the hair is at least 3/4 inches. If you’d like, send me some photos of your hair and I can take a look and let you know! My email is thegirlnextdoord@gmail.com 💗😘

Hi Dominique! Thank you so much! ☺️ We used a tad less than 4 packs on this client, and each pack has 25 pieces so around I’d say around 85 pieces in total! ♥️

Hello Veronica! Thank you so much love! Means SO much to hear! ☺️ I bought this flat iron from Salon Centric, it was actually a few years ago though! It is the Keratin Complex Flat Iron, you can purchase it at Ulta or online! ❤️

minnue Awh Thank you SO much love! Your positivity truly means so much! ♥️ I would suggest 4 packs, you may not need to use the forth pack but it’s always great to have as a reserve. Let me know how it turns out if you decide to go ahead and go the extensions! Xoxo ♥️

Hello love! Thank you so much for the kind words! 😘 As far as proper maintenance, a few very simple things to mention are: 1. Do not put conditioner on the top of the bonds, as this will lubricate them and cause the beads to lose traction (and they will slide). Conditioner on the hair and extensions are fine, just not up top where the beads are! 2. No scrubbing when applying shampoo, rather mildly rub the shampoo and let it sit on the hair. 3. Comb below the bead/bond gently when brushing hair. Sometimes I advise my clients to hold the top of the extension taught and brush the length of the hair so you’re not pulling at the hair. Also a side note- you can style normally, and applying hair oils below the bond/bead is no issue. And that’s about it! ☺️ Let me know if you have any other questions!💗

Hello love! So it seems everyone has a different opinion, some clients say they feel pain for a few days and others say they don’t feel them at all! I know personally from when I do them to myself, the first few days I definitely know they’re in. A half head usually isnt as bothersome as a full head, but I definitely do feel them. After a week or so they usually stop being uncomfortable and I don’t even realize they’re in anymore. ♥️

They sell them on Walmart.com for about $40 for 100 strands

Really..o no

Hello Jennifer! Sorry to hear they were bothering you a bit!! That is normal though, the first few nights can be uncomfortable for some, plus having the extra weight on your hair makes your scalp a little sore as well. Have you noticed it got any better? After a week or so, a lot of people say you don’t feel them in anymore. Hopefully that was the case for you and they got a little more comfortable after a few days! ♥️

Hi Katsem! ☺️ Yes, that is all correct! Moving them up every 3 months is a bit quicker than the initial installation. I’d say moving them up takes about 2.5 hours. I’d say the initial installation averages at 3.5 hours (with cutting included). And yes, I’d say every 2 years is when we need to order new hair. It lasts a long time, definitely get great usage out of it!

Danielle Lisa Thanks so much. They do look beautiful!

Hello Hillary! Thank you so much for the kind words! ♥️ Actually, it’s funny you asked- that was going to be my next video! It is possible, but certainly not easy and you get quite an arm workout! I set up 2 mirrors (one in front and one angled behind me) and that’s how I am able to see! It does take some time but it’s so worth it ☺️

@@thegirlnextdoord I love this ur vedio I love go get mine done how much u charge to do people hair

Hello Sarah! The key to having these extensions is placement. Sometimes if a hairdresser places them too close to the hairline, you will see the beads. An alternative extension method is the Keratin bond extensions, which are more of a permanent extensions which is fused to the hair with heat. The bonds are a lot less noticeable especially on darker hair!

Desssy Bee Just to let u know extension makes the hair thinner and eventually it will start to make it fall out.. U shouldn't put extension all the time. My daughter is half mexican half puerto rican. And she had long hair upto to her butt, she wanted to have thicker hair. She added 2 extra lines of extension. Now her hair is weak and thinner. She's buying shampoo to give her back the strong hair she had You need to go to a doctor and ask how long can you keep the extension in before u go bald from weak hair...

Cookie Ponce thank you !! I have heard that they affect some people that way unfortunately , like a lot of hairstyles there are a lot of variables that decide how the style affects each individual . Did she have any luck with the shampoo? adding some tea tree or peppermint oil to her regular oils may help. I’m actually a hairstylist they just didn’t teach this at my school so I was curious about the style & if I should add it to my services.

@@l.ponce1960 that’s because of poor maintenance and/or installation. I have been using micro links and clip ins since I was 16 for volume and my hair grows fine

@@se7064 thanks for the info. My hair is thin and when I wash it I loss a lot of it so I was wondering if with this extensions the problem gets worse

Hello Perla! I purchase my extensions from Donna Bella hair. They have several different types/colors/length of extensions including the I-Link!

Have your ever tried any from a professional only store? Such as CosmoProf...

Sheen Hunter Actually I haven’t but I will definitely look into it! I’d love to see what brands they sell.

There is a video that shows you how to make the extension. Their called i tip extensions.

Hello Levi! ☺️ Ah thank you so much, I truly appreciate it! ✨Yes I do have great advice on how to hide the extensions! A huge part of wearing extensions is discussing your lifestyle/daily activities in the consultation with your hairdresser. If you wear your hair up and braided often, your hairdresser will be sure to leave ample space around your hairline so they aren’t noticeable. ☺️When the extensions are being applied, your hairdresser should fasten them an inch up from your nape (so it’s hidden when you pull your hair up) and also an inch inward on the sides of your hair as well (also to help hide them if hair is braided/in pony). I hope this makes sense and helps! Hope you love your extensions 🎉

@@thegirlnextdoord Thank you so much !! I'm actually thinking on putting them myself so I'll look into that :) thank you!!

Start brushing gently from the ends upwards.

Hello love! Yes they can be used, companies make extensions now for all different types of hair textures! Donna Bella Hair (where I purchase mine from) sells both wavy and curly extensions. If you have a stylist who does extensions, she would be able to match your color and texture to what would be best for you. Since you feel that your hair is a bit thin, proper placement of the extensions is key! This can help add volume for you. I hope this helps! ♥️ I would suggest calling some local salons and asking if they do I Link individual hair extensions with silicone bead application. Also ask if they include the hair in their price, and go in for a consultation! The link to Donna Bella curly extensions is: donnabellahair.com/collections/22-i-link-curly Best of luck love! Xoxo

Hello Madison! Thanks so much for your comment! 💗 A shampoo that helps add moisture to the hair is ideal, since the extensions tend to become dry over time. As far as care for the extensions, a few easy tips! 1. Shampooing and conditioning: No hard scrubbing up at the root (to avoid matting the natural hair and extension), and no conditioner up at the root of the extension (this will make the beads slide). 2. Brushing: You can brush beneath the bead, I usually tell my clients to use a paddle brush because the bristles are far apart which will lessen pull on the extensions. Also, I tell my clients to place their hand on the extensions and hold them against the head while brushing to avoid any pulling at the beads! 3. A good quality hair oil works WONDERS! My favorite is Moroccan oil! It gives the hair extensions the moisture they need (just be sure to have them apply below the extension beads). Otherwise it’s styling as usual! Hope this helps love!😘

Hello Ashley! 😘 I purchase my hair from Donna Bella Hair. All the items I use are also from their site as well, they are a one stop shop! The hair is great quality and their prices are extremely reasonable! 💖

Danielle Lisa! Thanks so much, appreciate the instant response🙌🏽 on my way to site right now. Thx again!

Hello love! Thank you so much for the kind words, means a lot! 🥰💗 All products from this video is from Donna Bella Hair Extensions! You can find everything on their site. The tools I used are the “The Luxe” and “The Loop” tool under hair extensions tools. The extensions are the “I Link”. The beads are the “silicone beads”. I hope this helps!! Any other questions let me know! 😘😘

britney my advice: don’t do it by yourself. it’s not gonna turn out great

Hello Britney! Thank you so much for your question ☺️ So my best tip of advice, especially since you have short hair (which is the most tricky for extensions!). If you already have purchased the hair, I would go to your local salon and ask them what they would change for installation only (since this will save your some $). A lot of hairdressers are familiar with this type of extension so The changes of finding someone who can put them in are high. It’s going to be challenging to put them in yourself. 😣 Short hair requires a lot of blending and strategic placement (especially in the back where it gets a bit tricky and hard to see!). I even struggle installing them in my hair at times, and I do get quite an arm workout! I am located in NJ! If you are local I can suggest some places local to you!

Danielle Lisa i actually do live in new jersey :)) i’m only 15 years old but my dads fine with me doing whatever with my hair. however, my hairs damaged from dyeing it so much but i reallyyyy want more length because i felt i looked so much better with longer hair :( should i wait a little longer and try to take better care of my hair or just try it anyway? if it turns out bad i won’t be too upset since it was my decision :)

Hello there! Ugh man I am sorry to hear your course has been canceled 😞 I make sure to leave at least 1/4 inch in between rows! The reason is, if you put one row directly on top of the one under it, they sit too closely and bunch up over the row underneath it. This causes the extensions to pop outward from the head. It creates sort of a “shelf” and the extensions bulge outward. By leaving just a 1/4 inch it takes care of that and it leaves room for them to rest naturally on the scalp 😊

Hello Kate! Thank you SO much for the kind words! 💗 😘 The tools I bought are from Donna Bella Hair (the ones in the video I’ve had for years but they have nicer newer tools now on their site!) I used the Loop Tool and the Luxe Tool, along with the silicone beads. The link for the tools is: donnabellahair.com/collections/hair-extensions-catalog-tools-and-accessories-4-1-html I place the extension above the piece of hair, try and make the extension flush with the top of the bead so that it doesn’t poke the clients head! I didn’t show this in the video but I clip the top of the extension so it doesn’t stick past the top of the bead. Let me know if you have any more questions love! 💗 Xoxo

Hello Genevieve! Oh my goodness I am so sorry to hear you had a poor experience! You poor thing! Sometimes where the hair extension is too heavy in weight, it pulls at your real hair which can cause discomfort. You may like a different type of extension better, maybe the tape ins which pull on the hair less. Have you ever tried them before?! Please let me know if you have any questions! 💖

Thank you so much, that just made my day ❤️

Jenny Zen I thought it was meant to be placed behind the natural hair strand.

Hello Sammie! ♥️ I usually try and leave two inches between where the clients top part is. It also depends on whether the hair is thick or thin, as thicker hair gives me a little more leeway. ☺️ I always want to make sure the client can move their hair/run her fingers through the top without the beads sticking out. Hope this helps!

You are so sweet, thanks so much Maddie! ♥️☺️

Hello Alisha! ABSOLUTELY YES! 😘 I have done so many extensions jobs where my clients are absolutely shocked with how healthy their hair is after having them in! I always say, the extensions give you hair hair you wish to have, so you are able to stop messing with your real hair so much and give it the chance to grow and get your hair into a healthier state. They do not damage the natural hair at all, which is why I use this method!! 🥰 I highly suggest these to my blonde clients for this reason. They help to brighten the hair /add blonde without highlighting your real hair.

@@thegirlnextdoord do you think this method is less damaging then the clip in extensions?

Hi Priscilla! I am planning to make another video this week to really show up close and in detail. ♥️

Yes! 💗 It all comes down to proper placement of the extensions and making sure they aren’t placed too superficial to the hairline!

Hello Vera! Yes you can absolutely get them for bleached hair! ☺️ They make them in all hair colors, and they come in balayage, ombré, natural, so many to pick from that’ll match every hair color!

Hello love! ♥️ Wow 400!! Hmm....Would you happen to know the brand, and the weight of the hair you bought?! To give you something to reference, here I used about 70 pieces of of .7gram weight extensions. My client has a ton of hair, and 70 did the trick. Also, do you have very short or thick hair?!

Wow

Hello Diana! 🤗 In all honesty, I never have experienced hair loss from these extensions! The reason I use/love these extensions so much is because I feel they actually help reduce hair loss! The extension is fastened so high up on the head, where your natural hair is strongest. The extensions are pretty lightweight and wouldn’t have enough weight to pull out your real hair. ☺️ The only time when you notice hair fallout is when you are having them redone- reason for that is, you naturally she’d 50-100 strands of your real hair a day. Since your real hair is also clamped taught under the bead, once the bead is removed you are combing out hair you already shed. It looks like it may be a lot, but it’s really 3 months of hair you shed all being combed out at once! Hope that makes sense! ♥️

@@thegirlnextdoord Thank you so much for your message. I appreciate the great explanation you have given me. Greetings from Houston, TX.

Hello Leticia! 💖 Salons typically charge anywhere between $300-$2000 for this service (without hair included), it is whatever you feel comfortable with! I charge by the hour because a lot of factors can vary (thickness of hair, length of hair, desired look, etc) so each client will be different. A typical job runs between 3-4 hours, so just be sure that at the end of the day you are happy with the amount of payment you receive for half a days hard work! ☺️

Danielle Lisa Hey how much do you charge per hour? Thanks.

Thank you for your kind words and support love! 💖

Hi Jasmine and Emmy! 1 bundle for the I-Link starts at $50. 5 bundles will run you around $250, but they are reusable and you can use them multiples times. Mine last years!

@@thegirlnextdoord yeah I emailed a hair stylist that does the same type. And she said it would be 2500.....? For 5 bundles. She works from home so idk if she was over charging I've never spent that much for extensions. And all I needed was 4 bundles

Hi! Do you know if the $2500 include the service of installing the extensions as well? Or was that jus for the bundles? While that is in the high side, there are hair extensions that do have a higher cost than the hair I use so the hair can be very expensive. I do know a lot of salons who charge that price. Unfortunately it has become pretty standard since this process does take a very long time. My best suggestion is to ask around a bit more! See if you can find a different stylist and compare the prices. Im sure you’ll find someone closer to the cost you’re comfortable paying. 🙂

They are 15 at Sally's it depends how long they r.

@@jasmine__1111 over price. Go to Sally's and buy them yourself. Micro links, and the extension. You can run the beads on a double string to loop them into the hair if you don't have a hook.

Awww thank you so much Sophia! That means so much 💕 Awww!! I always second guess myself after I make a big cut to my hair as well, but I am sure you look beautiful just as you are with your new haircut! ♥️

Hello Elizabeth! I usually leave no less that 1/4 inch. If you stack the rows any closer, they will sit on top of each other and cause thickness. 1/4 does the trick perfectly! 🤍

Hello Sarah! The Micro links are the only method of extensions I do because there is zero damage to the natural hair. Typically the beads need to me moved up after 3 months. 💕

They are wonderful and bring such a nice change! ☺️

Hi love! So many people have different opinions on this, I know when I have had them I definitely felt them for the first week when laying down trying to sleep. It was painful at times but after the first week- I did not feel them at all. It takes some time for them to “settle in” and for your scalp to adjust to the weight of the hair. You can always start with a half head to test them out and see! 💖

Hi Olivia! Great question...Yes you absolutely can! This was the first time we did extensions on my client (I always have my clients order the extension and bead color they think is best). When we did Megan’s hair, we both agreed we could go a shade darker on the bead next time, so we bought the darkest brown bead. It looked so much better the next time we did her extensions, it blended to perfection 🙂

Thank you!

Her hair looked amazing!!!! Wish you lived closer, I’d go to you! Great job 👍🏼

Hello Selena! ♥️ Yes absolutely it will be possible! Hair extensions come in all different colors and textures, so you can definitely find very close to what you’re looking for! The Donna Bella Hair website has a ton of different types if you’d like to take a look!

Thank you for replying, I appreciate it (:

Hello Tiffany! ♥️ Unfortunately I do not have a link where you can purchase from, but I can link the site I use. It is Donna Bella Hair Extensions and the type is iLink! You can find them here: donnabellahair.com/products/18-i-link-pro-straight-rooted-ombre-1b-60

That is so kind...Thank you so much love!! 💖

@@thegirlnextdoord your Welcome, keep up the amazing job.

Hello! This can be tricky. Are you looking g to change your entire hair color? If so, then no. The hair dye won’t color the pieces of hair under the bead, and will result in tons of spotting when taking them onto. However- If you’re just looking to dye your roots/new growth, it shouldn’t be an issue since the beads aren’t on your new growth.
