All About: Keratin Bonded Hair Extensions

[@SharonBrendan]

When you blink, there's that really pretty flash of blue liner and WOW it is soo pretty!

[@TheOneSpurs]

I think that's a lesson i needed to learn so i respect you for showing me that. It's a very touchy subject with the females and requires a very subtle approach on the subject.Please don't get addicted to the surgeries though, you don't know how blessed you are to be so naturally beautiful.Also remember you're influence/responsibility on the little girls who look up to you around the world! Have a great day, take care! x

[@sugarylimesbeauty]

iv had extensions for two years and they were always good but nothing amazing but since watching your blonde hair care routine and these extension videos its helped so much and really opened my eyes, now my hair condition is amazing and so much better, thank you so much xxxx

[@clauhyde]

the color and the volume of your hair and your extensions are really pretty, and they look healthy.

[@HardcoreGlamour01]

6 years have gone by and wow Karissa, what a journey you've been on! It's amazing to see you grow over the last 5+ years and how you've changed and grown. ❤❤❤

[@KarissaPukas]

Hey Sarah! OH no! Feel better :( Take your time, no stress- Hope you feel better soon! xx

[@Msagainstthemall]

i totally love her haircolor. Many girls want blonde hair like shes got. I think it looks gorgeous on her.

[@jocelyndun]

The blue on your eyes really pops when you blink! It looks amazing!

[@taaylorallan1]

When I'm bored I literally go through all you're videos and watch them, you're probably my all time favourite KZbinr :) never change xo

[@marceamarable9021]

I respect that you stand up for yourself. The Internet gives people the idea that they can judge others. Share your opinion but don't belittle someone because they are different from you it 2013 I shouldn't even have to say things like this.

[@judifer]

I'd never put any thought into keratin bonded hair extensions before..but I've always found your videos to be so well-organized, thoughtful, and informative (hey, to be inundated with similar questions and to make a comprehensive FAQ to address everything is tough stuff!) so this was very interesting to watch haha. :)

[@littlegreenapple]

Great to see you back with a new video after your recovery! :) I'm envious of your hair! And I love your eyeliner here, you look great.

[@meleahopelyn]

Where I live in the states is $425 for just the full head application and not including the hair. I can just assume that the hair would be anywhere from $250-400, which is just an estimation depending on how much hair you have or want to use. The cost is heavy but that's what you pay for convenience. Also you pay for the hair stylist's service. I would definitely do this myself one day! Thanks for all of the info!

[@Marcella8691]

Oh my god.......your eyeliner I cannot stop looking at it. It looks so beautiful!!!!!!

[@BeautyAriana1208]

I've been watching your videos on this and your vlog channel for 4 hours now and I just can't stop lol I love you, you're my fav youtuber and soo gorgeous!

[@KarissaPukas]

I don't remember, but I can check in the morning and list it in the info box :)

[@KarissaPukas]

Amen ;) Thanks Hannah! It's so funny that my accent changed- I don't notice it until I go back and watch older videos- it's insane!! xx

[@gracejeong9689]

i just love the beginnings of all the videos!!

[@mariisboring]

Ahh this is making me want permanent extensions more than ever! I have a full head of clip-ins and they are great, but most of the times I'm just way too lazy to put it all in at 8am in the morning before work.. Thanks for the great video, K! You never disappoint me (:

[@KarissaPukas]

No worries- just remember, especially with females- keep it to yourself ;) If the woman you date is natural- praise her on it- but you don't have to put down others that choose differently- it makes them no better or worse for having a different opinion. Like I said, my boobs (nor haircolour) do not define me as a person. Take care! xx

[@unicornskickass9842]

Karissa! I'm like obsessed with your channel and videos, hope you're feeling well! :) xx

[@fortheloveofcolor1]

im loving ur vids so much. also love that u love star wars as much if not more than i do. ur vids r great. u present urself well &seem very friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable so glad i found u through shaanon cuz you both rock :-)

[@KarissaPukas]

I guess more than anything- I made the choice to be OPEN about this- I know TONS of people on youtube who've recently gotten boobs, or work done and they didn't share it- I didn't HAVE to share it, I chose to be open and help other women who were interested in the procedure as there's not much information out there about this. It's unfair that I get shit on by bad comments when I chose to be open about it to HELP other women.

[@TiffanysBunnyGang]

If you want to dye them to color match, dye them before installation. And only dye darker, no bleach. Use Demi permanent color with no ammonia.

[@caitlinlowes9834]

i just had new 30" prebonds in.. finally someone whos knowlegeable on extentions! they dont damage your hair unless you dont take care of them :) within a year of wearing these my hair has grown so long, thick and healthy. its the best thing ibe ever done ! i cant attack all my roots with heat tools no more :)

[@KarissaPukas]

Having Bonded extensions was the best thing I ever did :) muahahaha. I just got them out after 5 years because I decided to chop xx

[@KarissaPukas]

You do realize that I've had extensions far longer than Shannon...? lol People choosing to alter their appearance don't do it because of what Shan's doing ;) xx

[@KarissaPukas]

Thank you :) I appreciate it! I'm never concerned with what anyone negatively says- they make assumptions about my life, having never met me. If you personally know me and think negatively that- fine- but if you've never met me in your life and you think negatively about me based on a video that shows such a small part of who I am- then I think that's pretty presumptuous and shallow and I don't want people like that in my life anyways :) xx

[@KarissaPukas]

I try and keep commenting on the prior 2 videos :) and I keep up with the current video as much as I can! xx

[@BarbarellaBunnyMarie]

Yes, I should have waited to comment till I watched the whole video. Just love this make-up look! :)

[@KarissaPukas]

You realise that youtube is SUCH a small part of my life. 99% of the people on here I haven't met, and they have nothing to do with my personal life- it's just coincidence that on their path, they have wanted to get that surgery, & would have done it regardless of if they had a youtube channel or not- but since they have a channel, it's something they inevitably have to share with people. I would have had this done regardless of being on youtube or not, it's something I've wanted for years.

[@lisabellerussell9536]

I put tape extensions on my friend's thin, short, fragile hair. They were undetectable, comfortable, and she could wear it up.

[@cali4jeans18]

you look so pretty... and your "girls" look great too! So happy for you!

[@soccerluvaa]

Who said that she did it for "society?" She did it for herself, to please herself, no one else. If you don't agree with her decisions then deal with it or don't watch her videos. Worry about yourself and leave her alone. Don't worry Karissa, I'm here for your

[@lalaleenalove]

Youre beautiful and I love your tutorials dont listen to haters(: keep doing what youre doing!

[@AnimalLove1906]

but I personnally will probably never do that. but if you want to, that's fine. if it makes you happy, than go for it!!! don't worry about what other people say or think about you, I did that when I was younger and it made me very unhappy. because they said a lot of rude things and because what they said was kinda true. so it's a lot easier and better to just keep your ears shut for negative things and don't let those things influence your life. hoping you'll be alright!! stay strong! xx

[@KarissaPukas]

I've had up to a month and a half break, and I've also gotten them applied the same day I got them out :) I don't find any difference xx

[@KarissaPukas]

Thanks Amalie!

[@KarissaPukas]

I'm happy with what I have now! :) Remember these are practically up in my throat at the moment, as I'm only 11 days out of surgery. They are going to drop and change shape becoming more natural over the next year! I have a lot of change ahead of me.

[@KarissaPukas]

I think it's sad that you automatically think I am not comfortable with myself because I choose to look a certain way- if you took the time to watch my channel (or vlog channel) you'd know I rarely wear makeup unless I'm filming- and that I have no issue with anything about myself (why should I..?) I think it's a woman's right to look like the best version of herself- and THIS to me, is MY best version. You don't have to agree- maybe I don't like how you're presenting YOUR best version of you.

[@KarissaPukas]

Thanks Nicole, but I wouldn't ever stray from Keratin bonds :) I love getting fresh new hair every 7 months- it always feels amazing! xx

[@Sarahholly88]

love love love your videos , i'm getting my keratin bond extensions on friday i can't wait... Love all the way from Galway Ireland ;)

[@KarissaPukas]

Hey! That makes me glad to hear! :D Thanks for watching - as far as I know, yes you can get curly ones- but I know nothing about it, so I'd recommend researching it and calling into a salon for a consult prior to committing :)

[@KarissaPukas]

Thanks Holly!

[@bridgettejohnson8480]

Did you know you were the one I watched before getting my breast augmentation? So glad I did it. you are beautiful!

[@KarissaPukas]

+Bridgette Johnson That's awesome that you're happy :D I am too. Congrats :P and thanks for watching xx

[@KarissaPukas]

I haven't tanned for ages, I'm naturally blonde, and have been lightening it since before I started my channel- if other people on youtube choose to do that, that' their choice- I was already doing that. I've always wore a HUGE push up bra- so what's the difference? Now it's NOT false advertising- they just are that big to begin with. It doesn't hurt, nor effect anyone, nor does it define me as a person- so what's the issue? xx

[@KarissaPukas]

I'm sorry, are you a shrink...? Stop making assumptions about someone else's life that you are not involved in lol. If you don't agree- don't do it yourself- simple as that. Just because I chose to improve something does not mean that I don't accept my faults- I have plenty of faults that I can't change and I'm fine with that. Choosing to look a certain way does not change or define me as a human being. Unfortunate that you think it does.

[@KarissaPukas]

[@KarissaPukas]

And for the record, if you unsubscribed to me... why not stop watching my videos...? You realise that watching my video gives me more support than subscribing ever would... ? I don't get why you think blonde hair and wickedly awesome boobs=fake barbie wannabe. Change the norm. Break the stupid stereotype. People like you thinking that a woman is 'fake' because of how she looks is what ruins society- not a woman choosing to look how she does.

[@KarissaPukas]

I appreciate that you have that view- many others support that as well- but clearly I disagree (so do many others) & I think it's rude to leave a comment like you did. Leaving a comment like the chick above- saying "I think they look good but I preferred what you looked like before not trying to be critical or anything!! I just prefer a natural/real look and I think that "smaller" breasts look cuter haha I don't know each to their own tho" THAT is having an opinion yet being respectful of mine

[@KarissaPukas]

Unfortunate that you think KZbin had anything to do with this. Watch my videos. If you were a genuine person who subscribed and watched my videos regularly, you'd realize how silly you sound. A person who is willing to be open and document her experience (that many see taboo like yourself) and gives more information to other interested women is not 'insecure''. If I hid the fact that I got them done or lied- sure that could be a sign of insecurity- but being open & proud that I did it? No

[@KarissaPukas]

Pretty sure if my audience is watching me, it's for some form of makeup or hair, or fashion tip- which in turn, is a false representation of their natural selves. If you cut to the chase, wearing heals is 'fake' because you're faking height. The user asked a question, but the way it was asked was condescending and rude- which is unneeded.

[@KarissaPukas]

Thanks for your opinion! :) Kindly go find a KZbinr you do want to watch. I honestly can't believe you'd spend the time of your day to leave comments like that on a strangers videos. Do you feel better about yourself for projecting on to me? Please leave- I don't need your ignorant, generalizing loudmouthed opinion.

[@KarissaPukas]

What I am saying, is it's ignorant to think there is an 'old' me in that way. I am the same me- just with more boobs. That doesn't change or define me as a women. Maybe you should watch my vlog channel and realize how much I'm NOT the person you've described.

[@KarissaPukas]

Not really unless I'm super sloppy putting it up- and like I said anyways, it doesn't realllly matter because it's the same colour as your real hair and you'd have to be super close up to notice. Even then- it's a discrete bond- not a huge weft- you know? xx

[@KarissaPukas]

They are real hair- but it's not hair that YOU have grown. You could get a synthetic extension, but they would be horrible, and you wouldn't be able to use heat tools on them or do anything with them really- they would be like barbie hair.

[@KarissaPukas]

You clearly haven't watched ANY of my videos- nor heard me speak about that subject. Don't push your opinion and 'holier than thou' attitude on me. Like I previously said - if you don't like it- don't do it yourself.

[@KarissaPukas]

Because some people's hair just doesn't grow that long :( Mine for example has never reached past my boobs- no matter what I do. Also, they are great for people with fine/thin hair, or hair that has no bulk at the ends :)

[@KarissaPukas]

How is that related in the slightest...? That's like saying people who use makeup or dye their hair can't eat healthy. It's sad that you're being judgemental about a personal choice that MANY people make.

[@KarissaPukas]

Shame you're so extremely shallow :) Who judges someone they don't even know personally about something that doesnt involve them :/ logic. If you're not a fan- don't do it yourself :) xx

[@nakedfatty69]

Wow the extensions look fab! I got keratin bond extensions a few years ago, and they were fine at first but the hairdresser I went to didn't give me any info on how to care for them (useless!! :P), so after a few weeks I had to wear a hat because they got so knotty and kept falling out. Would love to get them again now that I know a bit more about how to care for them.

[@noddyfry]

I'm too lazy to do extensions but I still love this video :) they look great, if you didn't tell us I wouldn't even know you had them!

[@KarissaPukas]

Washing shouldn't be an issue- but you'd have to consult a salon about the availability of different curl sizes and what they could get.

[@KarissaPukas]

Because people have nothing better to do :) How sad their life is THAT boring that they go onto the internet to comment about mine ;)

[@KarissaPukas]

Thanks Alice!

[@KarissaPukas]

Thanks Grace!

[@KarissaPukas]

I'm not sure! I doubt it, as your hair is made up of the same protein that the bond is- and you're not allergic to hair :) xx

[@KarissaPukas]

Hahaha don't most girls?! ;) I'll be updating boob info on my vlog channel- subscribe there and I talk about that kinda stuff xx

[@KarissaPukas]

ummm because my hair doesn't grow that long or thick? Everyone and their Mom has extensions now a-days.. calm thyself.

[@KarissaPukas]

I am building my portfolio- but I do it more for fun than for a job (at least for now! :) Thanks for your support! xx

[@Livelaughtouchgrass]

im so glad you made this video ive been trying to research keratin extentions!

[@KarissaPukas]

You can get different textures- but you'd have to speak with your salon about what they can get :)

[@KarissaPukas]

Unfortunately people don't get that :/ It's easy to sit behind a keyboard and hate someone xx

[@KarissaPukas]

Yup!

[@Huitasunna]

So weird watching this in 2019 :D

[@Rebecca-qw3pq]

wegergqegethzth why?

[@mosveensilje]

I got tape extentions a couple of days ago, and i love them!

[@KarissaPukas]

I don't remember, but I can check in the morning and list it in the info box :)

[@carynlangdon779]

well I'm really happy for you all but I'm not one bit happy. my natural hair WAS 26 inches long.. then in very back I lost about 5 inches just in the middle of very back. soooo my hubby found someone.. Toronto hair extensions is the name of the place.. I bought my own hair $400 n brought it with me then she charged me another $440 to put in just 1 pkg ( 6 bundles) she caused me as of this past Thursday to have hair only to my ears!!!!! which has freaked me out sooooo badly I'm devastated. literally drvistated so much so that I'm now in hospital bcuz I had a frikken heart attach... rather than her properly removing the keratin glue. she turned the chair away from mirror and just ripped them all off.. hencehence why I'm freaked out.. I'm sure most women can understand going from natural 26 inches down to less than 5 inches.. it doesn't even touch my ears now and I wanna be dead!!!! can you plssssss help me not feel this way.. please somebody, anybody!!!! wouldn't be soooo bad if my hair still grew.. me n hubby both have beautiful Harleys that not a chance I'll be sitting my ass on ever again... if you've NVR had breakage its bcuz ur best friend is doing a wonderful job bcuz my girl DESTROYED NOT JUST MY HEAD BUT ME AS A PERSON TOO.. bcuz of health my hair doesn't grow. only havta shave once a yr just to give you an idea.. I'll NVR ever be wearing fusions ever again for rest of my life!!!!!!!!! pls help

[@KarissaPukas]

Exactly :) Fake is your personality- not what you choose to look like ;)

[@KarissaPukas]

Thanks! It was the first time I had tried it! :)

[@KarissaPukas]

Hey Judith! It's actually a dress from Bebe :) My friend gave it to me

[@taintedmoon14]

How can you afford all this stuff..?

[@bbierie1]

Love the double eyeliner!

[@KarissaPukas]

What I eat, has nothing to do with what I choose to look like...?

[@KarissaPukas]

Far from! But thank you :) I appreciate you watching my video! xx

[@bphelps2399]

They turned out great you look beautiful!!!

[@KarissaPukas]

More than anything- I'm excited about having it done, I've wanted it for years and I did something that made me happy- Even if you don't agree with it- why burst my bubble? It's a BIG thing for me that I finally got this procedure. Put yourself in my shoes- would you feel comfortable with a complete stranger leaving a comment like you did? I'm only just a 22 year old woman at the end of the day. It's unnecessary and tactless to leave that type of comment.

[@KarissaPukas]

I am not offended- if I was, I wouldn't have responded to your comment and just deleted it and blocked you. I just honestly think it's ridiculous that a complete stranger is speaking about me and my life when they have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. You have every right to an opinion- but why do you feel inclined to share it? If you have something nasty to say, don't say it at all and move on to shit you DO like.

[@KarissaPukas]

Did you watch until the end of the video? Part two has that ;)

[@KarissaPukas]

Not only that, you're pretty much calling EVERYONE who watches my videos 'uncomfortable' with themselves- because they are watching makeup/fashion videos about how to wear makeup, do their hair and look a certain way. I think your comment was ill mannered and more 'fake' than I'd ever be. Think about what you're posting before you post it.

[@KarissaPukas]

Not in the slightest :) I just choose to add to it- why not?

[@CaliLove604]

Get em Karissa! I love your look, and more importantly you personality!:)

[@hisabel20]

Just Subscribed! Your so down to earth and I appreciate people who are real, I look forward to watching more of your videos! :)

[@KarissaPukas]

oh no! I've never heard of that! :( That would have sucked!

[@avacrowl4080]

Finally lol this is the first video that talks about prices! But what I want to know is if my hair is about collarbone length and i don't really care about the volume i just want length. How many strands would you think would be enough to just get length and my parents said I have to pay for them myself and I really don't want to have to pay $900 I kind of want my limit at around $200 - $300 so what do you think. :)

[@KarissaPukas]

I actually read this comment out to Glen because I was so stoked about it. I am so glad you liked the video and watched it, even though you are not interested in the topic- that's very kind of you to take the time to message me. I appreciate your support- thanks for making me smile! xx

[@KarissaPukas]

I do in part two, as well as my blonde hair care video :)

[@KarissaPukas]

Hey! Thank you! :) Send me a photo of the coral look! Ingrid on youtube has that issue too, and always recommends some products- check out her channel?! xx

[@PaigeyOsy92]

I actually can not believe how rude people are .. I am so disgusted, people are awful ! .. I would really like extensions :) so this was a really helpful video ! I have really long hair, it is about your length with your extensions but its extremely thin so I really want it for thicker hair :)

[@DernGoodBeauty]

Looking good! I had keratin bonded extensions last year but the quality was shit :( great video with tons of detail!

[@KarissaPukas]

Thanks Marie! That is SO COOL! I wish I had a second language! :)
