Wow this hit so hard for me 😭 I've never seen someone with hair so similar to my own and it's honestly so refreshing... I went through a very similar journey, except I did tape in extensions by MYSELF at home. The damage done in only 3 weeks was heartbreaking. It's been almost two years since taking them out and my hair is now thicker than it was before putting them in... Here's some of my biggest/best tips.
- Stop styling with heat. If your hair is this fine, it is not worth the damage.
- Get a scalp brush and rosemary oil. Make sure to dilute the rosemary oil with coconut oil (2-3 drops of rosemary to about a tbsp of coconut oil) and massage into scalp (I do mine in the shower) for about 5 minutes before you wash. Do this with the oil solution 2-4 times a week and use the scalp brush every day for 5-10 minutes. This stimulates your hair follicles and promotes hair growth.
- Shorter hair cuts are best for hair as fine/thin as shown in this video, most of our hair is much thinner at the ends so getting rid of that helps create an illusion that the hair is thicker than if you were to leave those frail ends there.
- Take pumpkin seed oil, there have been studies done showing this can help with strengthening the hair shaft because pumpkin seed oil is a great source of magnesium. It also helps with maintaining a healthy scalp due to the zinc in it as well as it promotes hair growth (growth rate and length of the hair) due to the abundance of nutrients in the oil. You can take this orally or apply it topically. I personally have been taking it orally!
- Don't be afraid to wash every day if you feel like it helps. It is not damaging contrary to popular belief. My hair is so fine that it gets greasy very quickly and that can make ANYONE'S hair look much thinner, but especially people with hair like ours. So don't be afraid to wash every day if it makes you feel better :)
Much luck to all of my fellow fine-haired beauties. It can be so hard on your confidence, but just know we could be dealt MUCH worse cards and everything will be okay. You're amazing with or without hair ❤️
Thank you
You should try arrow root powder in your hair over night (on the night of the day you washed your hair). This is the ONLY thing that has allowed me to go a day without having to wash my hair. I have tried everything, my hair is extremely fine, flat and sparse and gets greasy the same day I wash it (by evening time). Honestly it has been a game changer for my hair and my sanity. ❤
I am living in Austria and pumpkin seed oil is a national treasure here. We eat it every day in every form and my hair is still thin and little. But head stimulating with a good brush is very good 😉
Had to save up for a "year" just to get some hair extensions...then goes to Europe for three weeks. 🤔
When you do a bugdet, you consider every details of your life, right? Living, food, clothes, medical treatments, insurance, and among others, traveling. I can imagine, organising an Europe-trip is also not a question of a two months of saving. So i suppose, she had more pockets to fill at once @@jaimestl3609
One can tell how hard it was for you to talk about that topic. Thank you for still doing it and for making people feel less alone in their hair journey! You've shown big strength here which requires confidence (since you mentioned lacking it sometimes). Looking up to you!
❤
Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, you have such a gorgeous, pretty face that you look the best when your hair is pulled back, so it is a perfect scenario for you. Put in a beautiful clip and you don't have to go through a lot of the fuss that a lot of us have to go through with thicker hair.❤
First, THANK YOU for waiting, and sharing this entire journey in one video. My thin, fine hair has been my biggest hurdle my entire life. I appreciate you being vulnerable and sharing your entire experience.
I have gone through the hair extension journey over and over. I have tried several different types (bead, keratin, tape, clip) and each time, regardless of what I have used, there is obvious damage after. It is important to find a stylist that is educated, and can help you treat your hair right before, during, and after the extensions. Taking breaks and following good care definitely helps reduce the damage. I have learned that the more permanent extensions are great for an occasion that might last a couple of weeks (engagement, parties, weddings, vacations), but for day-to-day, clip-ins are a great alternative.
I wishhh people were just this honest. How pure. Thank you!
I cry every day because of my hair but now you help me really a lot. We are not alone in this...Thank you ❤
Im with you too girl.. Its hard, we arw bombardrd with huge heads of fabulous hair everyday. We are fab too!
I honestly can relate. I am depressed every day about having thin/fine hair. When I'm out and about, all I can think about is how much nicer everyone else's hair is and how they just get to walk through life with thick hair, not even realizing what a blessing it is.
The way your stylist cut your hair towards the end looks so magical like a Disney princess it looked so thick!
I had the same issues for a while. I tried fixing my own hair until I come to a conclusion I’m just getting tape in hair extensions. I actually do them myself they don’t damage the hair. I use alcohol it take them out and now I have the hair I have always wanted. I think you’re thinking about it too much .. go get your hair extensions and make them even longer and beautiful and just enjoy that we live in an era that we could get Hair Extentions. You’re adorable and Jesus loves you call on him.
Amen
I am losing my hair, I am on minoxidil + supplements now and I am wearing tape in hair extensions without any damage nor regrets! I am living my best life again!
I had to remove my tape in due to my hair loss to find out if it was the hair extensions and tried so many oil and serum. in fact I just needed a dermatologist and I asked her if hair extensions where the cause? it wasn't at ALL.
@@nat-in4svwhat did the dermatologist say?
She said that my hairloss was due to traumatic events that I went through last year. I had a deficit in vitamins D & B12. she said that my "balding spot" were not located where I had hair extensions, which is why I can still do them. she explained to me that when wearing hair extensions *the hair gets stuck inside the tape-in for ~ 1 months which and most of these hair would have felt because we are losing hair on a daily basis naturally. so when you remove the tape-in, you have shedding due to this.
she told me to keep wearing hair extensions if I wanted. Also, to stop these serum and hair oil, which promotes hair growth because it does suffocate my scalp.
she gives me vitamins D, B12, Dexpanthenol, biotin supplements, + minoxidil 2% for 3 months, then I see her again.
But if you have thin hair you can see the extensions peek through, especially when you're outside and there's wind etc
This made me feel so seen, best video on thin hair I’ve seen so far (such a lack of content on people embracing this hair type)! Thanks you, I really enjoyed watching this!
Had every kind of extensions over ten years and went to the top salons all I can say I lost so much hair when they came out ,my hair is very thin ,I did feel glamourise wearing them but had to say goodbye to them as it was destroying what hair I had left ,not to mention the cost .Your beautiful Taylor look gorgeous without them much love lovely lady xxx💕💕💕💕
Hello, I just came across your video. I too have similar hair but for the past 8 years I’ve been having flat I tip micro bead extensions put in. They are from Donna Bella. It does not hurt when laying down, and there is no damaging glue. I buy the hair and have it adjusted every 7-8 weeks, the hair lasts about 9 months and I do not lose any hair when they get adjusted!. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made with my hair. If you do decide to try extensions again I would seriously consider looking into that. Best of luck on your hair journey!
It’s very kind of you to share this very personal journey. I’m sure you’re helping many women.
Thank you for being so brave and vulnerable. I sincerely appreciate it. I needed an honest review. I learned so much
I appreciate you making this video so much I’ve been looking for one just like this. Your honesty means alot ❤
This is my favorite video you have ever done!! So open, honest and informative. You are beautiful no matter what but I definitely relate to the thin hair struggles and wanting to have naturally thicker hair that can be styled differently. It’s not even that really as much as how thicker hair feels. I used to love to braid my hair as a kid. Now I can’t do that. My naturally fine hair over time is not able to do the same styles. Extensions are damaging and I would rather see you do a fall occasionally. The cute cut does look lovely!!
You’re so genuine , I love your energy
I’m getting great length extensions this upcoming week. I’ve had hand tied extensions once and had them removed within 2 weeks. They hurt, there was so much damage. I’m apprehensive to try these but your video gave me so much information to learn from regarding damage and better options to consider in the care of them. Thank you so much for this video. It’s the most helpful one I’ve seen online.
If you're already experiencing hair thinning gluing anything on your natural hair is not really a good idea because no matter how careful the stylist is when removing adhesive from the hair it's going to cause more hair to come out. To get the adhesive off the hair you have to use a solvent to remove the bond which normally contain alcohol which also can be damaging to the hair.. Extensions are great for short term use but anybody that I've ever known that's had thin hair and worn extensions for long periods of time their hair ends up broken and thinner in the end. As a wig specialist I recommend using halos/toppers, not things that are glued onto your natural hair. If you have thick hair it's not so much a concern. Also braiding methods done too tightly can cause more hair to come out any excess tension onto your scalp if you're already experiencing hair loss or thinning can cause more hair to come out. Even though I've done every single extension method on my clients, the ones that are bonded or glued to the hair to me are the most damaging. To me it's the equivalent of getting a piece of gum in your hair and trying to remove it no matter how careful you are some of your natural hair is going to be pulled out. Often stylist that do not know how to braid(cornrow)will opt for gluing methods because they are easier/faster to do.
I have super thin hair too. I just wear it cut in a pixie and it looks like “normal” thickness. Any heat styling just breaks it right off. I thought about extensions but I don’t have the budget.
Thanks so much for sharing this! I agree with everyone who said they like your shorter hair. It suits you better and makes you look more mature and professional, and just pretty.
Thank you so much for sharing, Taylor. I have looked forward to this video since you mentioned doing it way back. My hair is fine, but worse, I have two hair loss conditions, as well, and therefore, extensions aren't for me. But I love to see others deal with disheartening hair issues with grace and honesty, so I commend you, this fine video, today, and your process, very, very much!!! Love to you, friend!!!
Great way to explain whole process and outcome....from start to finish. I have always had fine hair, went through perms to give volume, lots of teasing and just use volumizers and hairspray. You’re lovely regardless. Enjoyed your wedding dress shopping video! Good luck with the growth of your channel
Thank you so much!!
You are such a beautiful person, inside and outside Taylor. This video I can relate to in so many ways, as me and my mom and most of the women on my moms side struggle with hair on our chins. Its genetic and I feel so self conscious, especially my mom at times. Ive learned to personally live with it. By watching you, I can relate to the struggles with societys beauty standards and its not easy! Thank you for this video. I love your whimsical personality and this video has truly brighten my day.
Thank you for making this. I feel like I have precisely the same hair as you and the same length. I have felt exactly the same emotions as you explain and this video has helped me see I am not the only one. ❤
I went thru this as well. Similar story. Really a confidence boost. I had tape in and the glued in ones attached to a few strands with Keratin glue. They hurt my head for a good few weeks. You feel it's worth the pain. After spending $800, the strands were literally breaking off and only lasted about 6 to 8 weeks. I waited for my hair to heal, and pros told me tape ins would be better for me. They were not sliding out, but they caused mega damage as well. I had a mullet after I stopped doing them. I also tried a wig, and it looked so unnatural on me. I even got it from a pro. 8 years later, I gave my hair a long break on blond highlights. My hair is much better. I swear if you color your hair, K18 has been a miracle for my hair. Going to try clip ons again for special occasions. I am so glad you're sharing this with others to save someone else the misery. BTW it was primarily the hair extensions that cause the damage.
Taylor, you are such a beautiful young lady no matter what your hair looks like. Fine, thin hair is a real problem for many. I think you are on the right track in letting your hair reset & get healthier. I have the opposite problem with thick curly frizzy hair thanks to my Italian roots, but it is still a distress to me.
You are such a brave and sweet girl. I have similar hair and had a very similar extension story. I find that organic coconut oil has helped to stimulate growth as well as curb breakage. Also, you might want to consider instead of bleach highlights, asking for a high lift color on your highlights-so much less damaging. You are gorgeous and are blessed with a body ALL of us envy!
Although in theory a high lift color seems less damaging, it is not. Flash highlights are still the best bet and infrequent highlights is key.
omg I just cried! My hair is like yours!!! My hair always felt like a burden ! I Think people with "normal" hair could never understand this! Thank you for this video.
💝 this is an amazing video! Thank you for sharing! I don’t have fine and thin hair but you are so awesome for doing this! Your hair looks sooo good short!
thank you for speaking so honestly about this. i've had thin hair my entire life and it's one of my biggest insecurities. you look great, natural hair or extensions. also i love your voice it's so pleasant to listen to. edit: i think if you're worried about heat damage on your own hair in the future maybe try overnight no-heat curling methods? some of them are super easy (sock method, bathrobe tie method, scrunchie method) and look even better than heat curling imo and it would solve the problem of using too much heat on your natural hair.
Thank you so much for this video. Can't tell you how much this helped me in making a very tough decision
As always honest and real. Thankyou for being vulnerable on camera. I have the flip problem which means lots on your head but lots everywhere else so hair removal is my challenge. You are gorgeous xxx
Taylor this video is soo amazing!! I don’t have thin hair at all but I love the brake down and your experience…. You do look amazing with both long and short …. 💕💞
This is exactly what I was about to comment!
I could hear you talk about any subject... I love your content. Thank you for sharing your experience, Taylor!
I absolutely love your honest review. I also agree that your new short hair cut is totally you and let me say that what makes you beautiful is not just your hair ... you are honest and brave and so sweet and strong and yes beautiful ❤ as women we have many insecurities but we have to uplift each other and accept our individual beauty and what makes us unique and special.
Very well done. I am sure this will help a lot of girls. Keep up the good work. I respect your effort.
Love Love Love the short haircut...you are positively glowing 💖
You are so gorgeous with such a beautiful soul, you don't need any extra hair!!!!! I am going through this right now and I need to take them out!!!!! Thank you so much!
I have hair just like this, “baby fine” my whole life. So I definitely appreciate this! I was just considering extensions. So glad I came across your video❤
❤ we're not alone with it!
Thank you for sharing! I have short hair and I’ve been wearing halo extensions for volume and not length whenever I felt like it. And I’m loving it!
I have hair just like yours. Exactly. I recently got a halo hair extension. Look it up. No damage!! I take it out each night! I have one from Halo Couture and another from Sitting Pretty. The Sitting Pretty is my favorite because they make one specifically for thin hair and it blends better. Upkeep is minimal. You will be so happy!!!
Thank you so much for this video, I also have thin hair and wanted to know the process of hair extensions. 😊 so helpful 😊❤
Thank you. Thank you for your honesty. You're a good person. And Congratulations on your engagement. I hope he deserves you.
Thank you for making this. ❤
Thank you for sharing your journey Taylor, it wasn't easy I'm sure. Take care 💖
you are so sweet and honest person ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks 😊 so much for sharing this type of content I feel like hair is a very sensitive subject and I always wanted to know about the hair extensions 😊
Great, great video, Taylor❤❤ I have EXACTLY the same hair as yours. Hair is my constant goal, no matter how much my husband tells he loves it and it is beautiful. My routine is following, no coloring, I was doing highlights before but then even that was not good for my hair, topical minoxidil once a day, water filter on the shower head, laser therapy helmet, olaplex #3 and nutrafol vitamins. Everything else had zero results, not the most expensive shampoos, masks etc. Hope it would be helpful.
I just got extensions and I had the same emotional experience in the bathroom by myself just an awe of how great my hair looks and how long I waited to look this good only took me 30 years to figure out. I’m so confident with long hair. lol this video was so informative. I love it thank you new subscriber.❤
Thank you for all the info! I learned a lot!
Wow, thank you so so so much for making this video. This was so informative. I know it must be hard talking about it, but thank you for doing it anyway 💕 I got very emotional watching this. I think I will get extension now 😊
Sweet sweet Taylor. You are so beautiful but, no one can discount your feelings about your thin hair. What a powerful vlog. Your emotions brought me to tears. 🫶
Taylor, you are a beautiful person inside and out! Whatever kind of hair! I don’t have thin hair but I have thinning hair closer to my forehead. I sprinkle a keratin powder to my scalp in that area so it would look fuller. I totally get it. Thank you for this video. 🤗 hugs to you
Thank you for sharing! I’m working on getting my fascia and flow better to the head so my hair transforms
Omgosh I literally typed in the search bar “hair after hair extensions” and watched your whole video. First off, you’re adorable so keep shining! But oh boy I had sew ins for a year, and I just couldn’t afford them anymore honestly… so the day I got them out I was horrified how my hair looked. I feel like I have no hair anymore. So much falls out in the shower, it’s so thin, I wish I would have never got them to begin with. I’ve tried everything besides hair growth vitamins because I refuse to fall for that crap. My hair has to heal from the trama those extensions had on it. It’s sad women want beautiful thick long hair but don’t realize in the long run the extensions are gonna do more harm.
Taylor can you tell me where you got your clip in hair extensions from I have been looking for them. Love your vlogs ❤
Hi, Taylor. I wish I'd seen this video back in 2000, when I got my keratin bond extensions. But back then neither you nor RUclips were a thing! I have hair like yours, and the extensions gave me the butt-length hair I'd always wanted but could never grow. I loved it so much, but oh, the upkeep!
I was afraid to blow dry because I thought the heat would melt the bonds, and I didn't want to shower in the morning because it would take forever to air dry. So I would shower at night and go to bed with damp hair. I slept in braids, but because my hair was damp, it got matted around the bonds. I was always going back to the salon to get the mats undone and the damaged extensions replaced.
I am now 65 and have managed to grow my hair to my waist over the past 2 1/2 years by taking steps to reduce breakage. I quit coloring. I only wash every 6-8 days and use professional-grade products, a leave-in conditioner and oil on the ends on wash day. I detangle with my fingers, pulling knots out sideways instead of downward. I sleep in a silk bonnet and wear protective styles, especially in winter (coarse wool sweaters and jacket zippers are not my friends!)
Some people's hair is like a sturdy ceramic mug -- it can be neglected, even abused, and will resist breaking. Hair like ours is like a fine china teacup; we have to take extra care to keep it from breaking.
That said, you are a beautiful young woman and would look good bald! You do look lovely with shorter hair, but if you want growth, it is possible. Your fellow RUclipsrs Katherine Sewing and The Blowout Professor are great sources of advice, the former on finger detangling and protective styles, and the latter on all things hair care.
Best wishes on your upcoming wedding.
I’ve tried halo, clip in, and tape extensions. I didn’t have any issues, but they are costly and the tape in I didn’t like shampooing my scalp. I’ve been rethinking that i may want them again, but the upkeep is such a pain. I think a lot of women can relate to your video so thank you for sharing ❤
Your hair looks beautiful💗
Do you dye or highlight your hair today?
This was difficult for you to make, but I really appreciate your helpful knowledge. I've been considering extensions, but you brought up good points that I hadn't necessarily thought of.. You're beautiful with or without the extensions, but I know it really depends on what you personally think, and feel that is most important!
Amazing video! Thank you 💕
Such a useful video and insight. Thank you
Your hair will look good on your special day, please have no worries. You are so brave, I see so many girls with good and I only dream of having it, I’m going to try the clip inns. Stay beautiful as you are.
Great video 🙏. Did you try the halo extensions?
Hi girl, not sure if anyone else has recommended Ollaplex #3 , I noticed you had gotten the #5 conditioner and K18. You can also get professional ollaplex treatments at the salon and they can even add this to bleach when you get highlights to keep your hair from getting as damaged.
Hope that helps..I fell into the category of getting extensions and never going back to my natural hair, trying different types and now have wefts installed..for me, the ktips seemed like the most damaging of all especially as the hairdressers I had at the time did not cut the keratin bonds into smaller pieces to accommodate my hair texture.
Thanks for this video, I definitely identified with a lot of your emotions throughput!
I also agree, love the shorter length.
thanks for sharing this! i'm also considering KB extensions, and i didn't even think they would be uncomfortable while sleeping - that was enlightening 😅 i have a couple of follow-up questions:
1. how many strands did you put in? if it's your first time, hairdressers usually advise putting only a few strands in so you can get accustomed to having extensions and then gradually get more
2. did your scalp hurt, or did you have migraines the week after? the weight of the strands slightly pulls your hair, and that can cause your head to hurt until you get accustomed (that's why they advise you to increase the number of strands gradually)
Thank you for making this. I also have the diameter of 1/2 of a dime and its an isolating feeling.
Taylor I’ve had fine thin hair all my life and the way to make it look thicker and fuller is to use Pantene volumizing shampoo and conditioner and Pantene hair jel on wet hair. Hair jel being the key factor also to set the hair in rollers. This method will give you thick hair and no damage. People think that I have naturally thick hair.
Thank you for this video! Only one I found from someone with fine and thin hair!
Thank you for being vulnerable on this topic, making a lot of people in your same situation feel understood. Can I kindly ask which brand of clip in hair extensions are you using?
Hi! My clip ins are from the Hair Shop in New York 💗
That was so brave and I am happy you shared your journey
Thank you for your honesty. That was wonderful. I do want to recommend that you don't use the bonds. With your fineness, you want to go with a handtied weft method such as IBE or a sew in weave. You wont have those hard feeling bits to deal with. You will be so much happier with the install. It's also not as heavy feeling and the grow out looks much less noticeable. Just an idea to experiment.
I’d also recommend a halo hair extension if you’re ever feeling in the future like you want more length/thickness! It’s even less damaging than clip in hair extensions.
1st, you're beautiful. I had a similar experience with bead sewn in extensions. I wanted them for length and volume. They ended up matting in the back of my head. Before the extensions, my hair was down to my rear (all 7 strands). After their removal, it was just below my shoulders. Trying to regrow with baby steps
I used to make my own clip in extentions because I wanted different colours in my hair and didn't want to keep changing my hair colour because I know it damages it over time. Now I've figured out how to do my red without doing much damage because I've had stylists severely damage my hair with bleach in the past. Not sure if this would be helpful but I use Acure shampoo and conditioner and it doesn't strip all the natural oils out while I'm washing it. It's very gentle on my hair and scalp and my hair doesn't seem to really get oily or anything anymore. Most shampoos and conditioners strip too much from your hair. I started using it because of my scalp issues. Everything I tried even hypoallergenic cause my scalp to feel like it was on fire and severely itchy. None of that happens after switching 10 years ago. My stylist now says my hair is extremely healthy despite me colouring it and using my hair dryer and straightener. Not sure if Acure would be helpful for you since it's really gentle.
Thank you for sharing. I have thin hair and i Know how it feels. The research, de emotions. I decided tape in hair extensions but before i take care of my hair to make sure it was ready to hold them. I got very good results from the Ybera Paris Vello Treatment, serums and everything. I have a lot of new hair growing up and i took the decision to put on the tape in. They look amazing, its been just a week and i’m considering have them for just 2-3 month, and then take a break and start again and continue with the treatments to low as much as possible the damages. But thank you so much for this video.
Hi dear, I have thin hair and I did same kind of hair extensions few years ago. It is very damaging for the hair. Best solution is to keep our own hair as it is with care and a lot of love ❤️
I had the same issue, my hair looks just like yours and I actually had the ‘moved up’ at 6 weeks and the removed 6 weeks later. I continued this process for nearly a year. I then tried sewn in extensions and it was a little better, but I couldn’t have them sewn in near the front of my head. I now use a Halo and it sits on my head with a fish wire and I remove it at night. BEST decision ever
Taylor you’re gorgeous and thank you for sharing this 💖
Thanks for the video. I just got weft tie in extensions last week and I have hair like yours. It’s been crazy emotional as it’s a huge difference and not sure how to emotionally manage all this hair. I’m worried about damage and I also don’t have quite enough of my own hair that safely hides the weft tracks. I always am looking in the 3 way mirrors to make sure nothing is showing! It’s very stressful. I have ended up wearing it back a lot as I’m too worried the weft lines are going to show. Anyways thanks for your journey story. I can relate!!
Hi, I have hair just like yours. I am older and went through chemo and I am just glad that I have Hair, but it is very much like yours. Can you tell me what kind of clips that you use? I’ve never done it before but I’d like to try it because I love the pictures of you with your hair extension clips in!
Would you mind sharing what brand of clip-ins you use? I'm sorry if you've mentioned it, I didn't hear it and couldn't find it anywhere. You look absolutely gorgeous! ❤
Hi, have you ever looked into a clip in top piece? I wear clip in extensions but i'm thinking about just a top piece.
Hi Taylor - I wish I’d seen this just a bit earlier as I just got k-tips today for the first time. I’m 67 years old, and I was born this way, with the hair of a two year old. My hair is much thinner than yours on top so I had the ktips put in just the top of my head. I don’t think they should bother sleep at all. I did this so perhaps my scalp won’t show in the photos for my granddaughters college graduation. I am now a bit concerned for the removal. Thank you for sharing your journey.
After I had WLS, I lost a lot of hair. I had sew in extension applies and 7 months later, I took them out. There was So, so much hair in the tracks. I felt like I had less hair after vs. when I had them installed. I did go back every 6 weeks to have them moved up.
Thank you for sharing your journey!
so pretty before and after and "after after" :)
Awesome video! Maybe try heartless curling methods while ur giving ur hair a break?
Cashmere hair has a one pieces clip in volumizer that looks really good.
Thank you for sharing ❤ my advice to research scalp micro needling method and places that doing this types of procedures. I know a lot of women that really got a results after.
❤ I love this video. I am older and I have fine hair too. I also think you are a beautiful young woman. I am just too old to get into the extensions. not willing to damage what I have. Just not worth it for myself at this age. I considered the eyelashes at one time but read how your own eyelashes fall out and decided against it as well. I just make the best of what I have. ☺️
You are so sweet and unselfish to do this video. You are awesome ❤
I wear a mix of beaded hair wefts, I-tips and K-tips and my hair is definitely not thinner. In fact, it is growing and getting thicker each time. BUT...I will note that when I first take out my extensions, my hair 'seems' thinner. Not sure if it is all psychological or if more hairs shed than normal because of the trauma to the scalp, but in about a week, my hair feels back to normal. K18 and Olaplex are my best friends. I also bleach my hair every three months, so if my hair is getting thicker, extensions are not damaging. I will also say that I continue doing hair masks and treatments while I'm wearing extensions. Never stop. I care more about my own hair than the extension hair. I do notice that sometimes it is the natural hair left out of the bonds or wefts that gets damaged because of the styling. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Have you tried the Spoiled Child line? I’ve noticed a pretty big difference
Thank you for sharing.
❤ Great video. I dont mean to give unsolicited advice. This is my own experience i use ROOT brand collagen. I had thin hair and honestly just took it bc it was said to help with skin. I used to go 3 months before i needed a hair trim. Now, i need a cut every month. I tried other collagen and didn’t get these results. You are beautiful and dont worry.
Me. Same exact all…. I am now using Vegamore - oil etc…. It was a shock and really noticeable - sad and what do I do in the future . So preventative and repair -
Right there with ya sister! I’ve always had fine hair but lots of it. At 62 my hair has been thinning the last 3-4 years. I had Bellamy wefts professionally installed using the beads and hand tied method. My hair length was right above shoulder, extensions added length down to the top of my boobs. The wefts were very thick and heavy, I constantly felt the weight pulling on my own hair and didn’t know how to style it so I cut it just below shoulder level. I was advised not to wash/style extensions everyday and to condition them heavily which made my fine hair limp. My hair gets oily so I tried dry shampoo in between washes, UGH! Then I tried bending over the sink, washing just the top section of my hair on non-shampoo days after my shower (extra time and effort). My fine hair dried really fast but the wefts took forever to dry so I tended to leave them damp towards the root area. I also began to worry that I was not able to clean my scalp thoroughly under them. My scalp began to itch 2 weeks in and by 4 weeks it itched so badly that I had my husband remove the extensions. POST REMOVAL: itching continued until I began using anti fungal shampoos. My hair was in a weird state looking so much thinner and disfigured. After 1-2 weeks my hair began to style as usual and did not seem quite so thin. I couldn’t have grown new hair that fast ergo ‘disfigured’ hair, LOL.
I've always been lucky in the hair department (I have fine hair but a lot of it). However, as my hair never holds a curl using hot tools (I can get max 2 hours before they drop out) my best resort is going to sleep with wet hair in a set of foam rollers. However, that would give you the wet hair issue as opposed to the heat one, not sure which is the most damaging when having extensions in 🤔
But I'm sorry you feel so down about your hair some days, Taylor 💔 You're definitely helping out all the fine hair girlies out there with this video! ☺💕
As someone who's had spots since I was 12 (now 32), I can definitely relate to that blow to your confidence that those things can have. Man do I wish I could just use a moisturiser and call it a day, instead of the 10+ steps routine I have to do every night just to get decent skin, if I'm lucky the next day! 🙈
You're lovely. Thank you for sharing and being authentic.
