All About: Keratin Bonded Hair Extensions

[@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]

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

[@arrrvba]

Wow. Karissa. You look STUNNING. That top, the make-up, that HAIR and ofc... the obvious. Great result!!

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@coraliereef13]

Also I admire you standing up for yourself. Don't let anybody bring you down, you look great!

[@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 :)

[@SharonBrendan]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@pinknails517]

i wanted my hair cut so bad but the lady i wanted to go to was booked...so just cut my own hair (im fine cutting my bangs nicely)and i just started going...turns out i did the slide cut! thanks for telling me what its called... i never wouldve known! i did that throughout my whole head and i love how it turned out!

[@lisabellerussell9536]

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

[@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

[@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. :)

[@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!

[@KarissaPukas]

It depends on where in the world you are, and the salon :) I think it's cheaper in Australia too, as everyone has them

[@emmaelizabeth2033]

Tits and hair are looking fabulous, and you look really really well! My best friend has keratin extensions ad she loves them! Like everything, you get out what you put in! Look after something and they won't get damaged as quick or even at all. If you,don't look after something, then it's going to get ruined! Thanks for such a helpful, honest ad insightful video x

[@jaymejamjar]

I really appreciate all this info! I thought about getting hair extensions awhile ago. I have CRAZY thick hair so I don't think it's really something I should do, but I would love for it to be longer! Anyways, I watched the whole thing because I love listening to you! You're so down to earth and real:D Moving on to part two now!

[@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]

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

[@clauhyde]

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

[@pmcampbell3212]

Will you please do a makeup tutorial of the makeup you're wearing in this video? I love it and would love to know exactly what you did...is it a double winged eyeliner or are your eyelashes just that long? It's beautiful!!

[@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.

[@msbeautyontheinside]

love how honest you are, and not just raving about it

[@KarissaPukas]

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

[@diannahGentle1]

She does an amazing job on your extensions, they look completely natural! Hope your recovery is going well. Love from Ontario, Canada!!

[@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

[@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!

[@TheKristinjackson]

a lot of times people think that they are allergic to extensions or something because their scalp gets bumpy and irritated, but a lot of times it is because the extensions aren't put in properly and they are tugging on your hair unevenly.... with that said, since you used micro rings, are you sensitive to nickel?

[@AnimalLove1906]

Hey Karissa, I just wanted to tell you that you're beautiful. No matter what people say, I think you're an amazing person and you inspire me with every single video you make. I appreciate how much time and effort you put in your videos. They always make my day!! xx

[@KarissaPukas]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy watching :)

[@jocelyndun]

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

[@XheatherybooX]

Personally I love your hair and I love that you had the guts to be completely honest about your procedures and what not, because as you said most people aren't, I'm just sorry you have to put up with all these negative comments saying that it's wrong when it's not at all!! That being said I had no idea you even had extensions before last week so they really look natural!! :D xx

[@laurenalexc]

i've been subscribed for about 6 months now and LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos! such a well spoken girl! keep it up :)

[@KarissaPukas]

I couldn't grow it that long :( lol some people just can't! Even if I could, I'd use extensions for volume xx

[@yagmuryaras1582]

i really want to do that but my hair is so so thin so im scared that will damage my actual hair

[@ROS3tYL3R]

Hope ur recovery is going well!!!! Thanks for the video it was sooo helpful, pretty much covered everything I wanted to know about them. I was wandering, when ur natural hair gets as long as ur extensions, are u gonna keep going with them or leave them out??? Xx

[@Shawnice024]

hey Karissa, hope your well. i am thinking about getting these extensions, my hair colour is pretty much the same as yours, i was wondering what you do when your roots come through with these extensions do you dye your roots or not ?

[@MonikaRabea]

You mentioned so many products which you use for your hair. Can you please do a haircare routine and how you protect your hairs from the sun? Thank you xoxo

[@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

[@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

[@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 (:

[@xSBQ]

This isn't an extension comment, but it's still about your hair. When you bleached it, do you get highlights or do you get a full head of bleach? Also, did Brooke tone it really ashy? None of my hair dressers have made my hair ashy and it's probably why I end up going back to brunette. Do you think I need to bleach more?

[@marleylovesbeauty]

ive had both keratin and microring I look after my extensions really well and use almost all the aftercare tjings my keratin ones.. when the bonds grew out my real hair began to mat together, thats why I prefer microring. have you had them and why dont you like them as much?

[@annaalbright427]

is there a special brush you use for your extensions? I'm getting them put in, in a couple of weeks and want to make them last for a long time for the price I'm paying! thank you! :)

[@bridgettejohnson8480]

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

[@ElEazee]

Awesome video! And sort of irrelevant to this video but I was in the grocery store yesterday and I found those Sweet Potato chips you had been looking for & remembered you had asked where to find them, unfortunately I'm in Canada but I'm sure you could stock up if you visited, they're at Loblaws/Independent/Superstore etc. in all the organic sections, hopefully that helps!

[@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 :-)

[@mandiemyatt3769]

can you please tell me if the itching is normal?? mine are driving me crazy!! I've had 20" keratin bond extensions for almost 8 weeks & I cannot stop the itching!! it keeps me awake its so bad!

[@aycabiskin3580]

It could be product n dead skin build up. You should get them fixed every 6 weeks or so anyways.

[@felishasb22]

are you going to grow your hair out and sooner or later stop getting the extensions or keep getting the extensions? it looks like they have given a good amount of volume to your hair in a really nice way. just wondering :)

[@lauracatalinasandoval6481]

Love it, I really want to try Extensions and this give me some answers that I had ir about it..!! Please make a tutorial for the make up you're using in this vid..!!

[@CaitlinEngel]

hi I'm really interested in getting these extensions but i was just wondering how long they lasted for you and where did u get them put in??? and i loved this video its very informational and i like it :)

[@OSCARLIVESINABIN]

I really wan extensions but not sure with what type to go with your hair looks amazing I'm just worried about the glue ruining my hair

[@taintedmoon14]

How can you afford all this stuff..?

[@bridgethillick2603]

You're gorgeous ! & I totally agree about the tape ins !!! I hated them , my hair felt so heavy and they did not blend at all ! However sew in ones were my favorite and I didn't experience breakage but my hair isn't fragile. Wish I could afford the keratin because it looks great :)

[@alisonnhall]

Keratin bonds gave me headaches, but I really enjoyed tape in extensions. You should look in to them, they give you WAY more thickness and volume.

[@LisaDAmmirati]

My stylist also said I would need to go back in 2-4 months to have my bonds "tightened"...what exactly does that mean?

[@LmfaoGIDjo]

I really want keratin extensions but can you use the hair set again when you get them out ? I wouldnt do it if there ugly but if they are still nice can you replace them again so you dont have to buy a whole new set ?

[@valeriapena437]

What shampoo and conditioner do you recommend for keratin extensions? I'm burnet and also what products aftercare? Daily products

[@the2facesinatoken]

love the makeup look tutorial maybe? or what liner are you using?

[@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

[@krysti1na]

I have a question for you. My hair is the same color as yours and i've been buying hair clips but the results doesn't really suit me. How do you bleach your hair roots with those keratin extensions ? I've actually had "cold" ones (with a ring) but i didn't keep them for long so i don't really know...

[@mandrakewassel]

Thanks so much for this informative video! Just a quick question, if you managed to grow your natural hair to the length you get your extensions, would you still put extensions in for the volume?

[@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]

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.

[@miragegaleb5370]

You look AMAZING really,and I love how you took the time and effort to answer all those questions..

[@reabilandzic]

what are you wearing on your nails? i checked the description box, but it isnt there. looks awesome!

[@sungjigloriakim6999]

I've been thinking about getting them, thank you sooo much for the thorough review love it on you, hope it suites me as well! Please please don't stop with the fantastic videos!!

[@scarlettperkins2339]

I love your makeup in this video, do you have a tutorial for it?

[@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. :)

[@dancechick11223344]

I got my Keratin Extensions put in two days ago and i love them. I have really fine hair and they blend in perfectly. I got about 70 put in. My only question is how to you do an updo with them? Like a top knot or a high pony without people noticing?

[@thenascentdentist7435]

Yes we can do.. got about 160 strands and loving the length and volume!

[@marina2921]

By the way the blue eyeliner really makes your eyes pop! what eyeliner are you wearing? I LOVE IT!!

[@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

[@haleyschmalstig2574]

Is there any way you would make a video about doing up dos or pony tails? The reason I ask is because I am thinking about getting them but at my job I have to wear my hair up all the time and I don't want to get them and have them look like crap when I put my hair up

[@crissy2411]

How do you get your roots touched up with the keratin bonds in? Thanks for the video! Your hair looks awesome :)

[@MarquieshaH1]

Do you ever get it tightened...? How long has it been since you first got it done...? How often do you have to get it redone...? What's the average cost for it...?

[@shelbybrowning7353]

I typically only wash my scalp, would that like tug at the extensions? Also I have pretty curly hair...is it harder to get extensions that match your type of curl (example first day or second day hair) or would I have to style my hair more often to get the extensions to math my natural curl?

[@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.

[@nicoledoll8347]

Just an idea for you, you should try micro link or stick tip hair extensions. They are reusable obviously depending on how well you take care of them, and they are put into the hair with a copper link instead of glued in so they won't pull at your hair as much. I can reuse the hair I purchase about 3 times ! They're amazing if you ever wanted to try something new =) you look amazzzzing btw xxo

[@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

[@hannahkelley2299]

Okay so, what products do you use to keep your hair so healthy? I looked though your videos for one on hair care but couldn't find!

[@kirstenkitty]

I need to know what blue eyeliner this is!! It looks amazing!

[@tayxox7]

you should look into I-tip extensions they are very similar but re useable and there is no glue. i had them and i used the same extensions 5 times! they are also around the same price

[@Missfoxtooyou]

What blue eyeliner are you wearing? So pretty, thank you for being so informative in this video.

[@wonkylauren]

I've got keratin bonds which I love and have had for 6 months now. I'm having them removed this weekend and wondered how long of a break you have before getting new ones?

[@moomarkle8033]

Thanks so much for making this video! I was wondering, do you know of a specific type of hair for the extension that I might want to specifically ask for, if I'm looking to have them blend with my thick hair? I usually leave my hair natural or with curls that i brushed over. I wouldn't look good with thinner extensions, so would you know what I' have to do lengthen my hair with the extensions while keeping the thickness of my hair with the length of the extensions as well?

[@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.

[@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

[@mpavlusik]

Can you get your roots bleached for tough ups? I have platinum hair like you and I really want these extensions but I am worried about what the touch ups look like

[@Marcella8691]

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

[@N94JBlover]

Hi Karissa! I just recently started watching your videos, I love them so much! Your style tips are amazing and I love your personality! Keep it up girl! :)) xo

[@courtneyelliceclarke]

I also have these extensions, took mine 4 hours to put in the full head. Ive had them for about 3 months now. I just wanted to ask, can you take the extensions out yourself or do you have to have them professionally removed?

[@lonimoo985]

Came on to this video knowing notbhing about keratin extentions and now i feel as if i have a good idea about them and am considering getting these myself. Can you get curly textured ones? xx

[@cece.diamond801]

Hi Karissa, i just got keratin hair extensions done and i'm not satisfied with the color that the hairdresser chose for me. So thank you first for being on youtube because im gonna be able to show my hairdresser that my extensions are way to yellow for me. And i'll show him a pic of ur hair, because thats def what im looking for. Can they bleach extensions though? :s

[@sdiggz3618]

hey Karissa! I'm sooo glad I found you on youtube!! You're channel is amazing! I absolutely love all your videos! I'm using the quick and easy bright coral eye look for prom :) anyway I have a question for you. I have oily skin specifically on my eyelids and my eyeshadow never stays on especially after using a primer, so I was just wondering if you have any suggestions on anything that can help me with my oily skin issue and a new primer?

[@aliesaurusrexx]

Does your real hair snag where the extension is attached when you brush it? Awesome video btw:)

[@EmpriseGirl]

Thanks so much for this video girl! It's nice to know that someone else has the exact same type of hair as myself! I am really considering investing in these! Thanks!! xx

[@TutiFruity7103]

This may be a dumb question, but if you get these"permanent extensions", can you still wear clip ins you might own?
