I’m getting mine installed on January 22nd and have shorter fine hair. It would be awesome to see styling a client with shorter hair, especially how to blend the top and underneath sections where it can become obvious where your hair ends and the extensions begin.

[@InvisibleBeadExtensions]

Oh love this idea!!! Thank you

[@MercedesDoll2012]

Yes please!

[@amy109]

Make sure your clip the underneath part of your natural hair up, and in the middle too, to hide your natural hair. Hopefully that made sense 😬

[@dazzle3m]

I need this tutorial. I can't figure out how to curl my hair. My real hair is short like yours

[@MelissaFreeman]

This client is gorgeous

[@Lesliejordan100]

Can I ask what to toner you used on her? I love her soft honey blonde highlights!

[@megb1520]

I keep hearing/reading you have to brush your hair a lot with extensions so they don’t mat. How do you do that while keeping this wave for a week? Just at the wefts?

[@hannacastMAKEUP]

I have a question, is the marcel in the locked position or unlocked? In the video it looked like you had it locked and would use both hands to kind of unwind.

[@stevechristoff8645]

Gorgeous! What curling iron were you using??

[@kellybrinkerhoff5055]

I tried doing this technique on myself and it was way more confusing than I thought it would be! It looks so easy! Plus I’m not used to having long thick hair. Definitely takes longer to curl. I just started playing around with a curling wand instead of an iron. That seems easiest.

[@InvisibleBeadExtensions]

We definitely recommend an IBE certified stylist

[@WithKelsey]

Hi McKenzie! I love the videos! I’m a client of Cassadi and I’d love to see a video blending shorter hair. I’m wearing 3 rows of IBE 18” and my top hair is tough to blend when doing these waves. I’d love a tutorial!

[@InvisibleBeadExtensions]

Hey!! we love Cass! This is such a great idea, we have it on our list to shoot... thank you for your feedback. When you are curling just make sure to curl those top pieces in with your extensions. Also, don't leave the ends straight at the top like you would at the base, it needs to blend into the curl or wave pattern of the rest of your hair as well. But we will shoot a tutorial because this is a great idea.

[@MsShortskirts]

Odd question, how do you wear the hair when you sleep to keep these gorgeous curls for days? Fantastic tutorial, thank you!

[@InvisibleBeadExtensions]

We recommend doing a double French braid or a side braid for a looser curl.

Did you use a setting spray prior to curling the hair or anything on the hair to prep during the blowout? Thank you

We always use a heat protectant, I used Protect Me by Sexy Hair

Hello! Warm thanks for this excellent video. I might have missed it but what heat protectant products did you use? I have fine/thin hair and new to extensions. I’m going to be watching all of your videos. I’ve watched a few so far. Your videos are very informative, encouraging, and makes me feel that having beautiful, healthy hair is finally attainable. Is there a video for newbies on all the products and tools to get to set yourself up for success? Warm thanks for all of your help.

[@InvisibleBeadExtensions]

We have Goldie Locks blow dry spray! Goldie Locks is made with extensions in mind for all of your needs! 🙏🏻

[@PreetiSrivastav-zq2wg]

[@InvisibleBeadExtensions]

Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@laciem817]

I love this way to curl hair but every time I try it I always end up leaving crimps in hair from clamp. Maybe need a new curling iron? Thanks for sharing this video and tips.

[@ateramino]

That’s because your iron is too hot! Try turning it down a bit :)

[@coraldobie6978]

Hello :) I’ve had my extensions in for a week now. I washed them for the 1st day Wednesday and they have gone so frizzy and tangled, do you know what I may have done wrong? I used sulfate free and paraffin free shampoo/conditioner too. Also I’ve just purchased the curling tong you use. My hair is naturally short and frizzy! Hoping it’s not too difficult to curl your way 😬 x

[@lucygrace1193]

Hey girl! I’m certainly no expert, but my stylist had me pick up a leave in conditioner called Crackhead, it’s in a baby blue tube. It can also be used on dry hair. I also use an Argan oil leave in conditioner, especially on the ends, called Argan magic hair cream. I use Tweak’d hair cleanser that I get from QVC or HSN, I’m sorry, I can’t remember which one. When I don’t use the Tweak’d, I use Matrix Total Results length goals shampoo & conditioner. Sometimes I use Biolage sleek spray in a yellow bottle. I hope this helps! I do know that keeping extensions conditioned is a must so they don’t dry out & get fuzzy. 🙂

[@InvisibleBeadExtensions]

Hey!! It could be the quality of the hair extensions but here are some suggestions. Use a high quality shampoo conditioner, something designed for hair extensions. We suggest using a detangler and also using a leave in conditioner. You’ll want to use a clear oil, one that does not have a tint to it because that can alter the color of your hair extensions. You’ll want to apply 3-5 pumps of oils once a day to your hair extensions. We just launched our hair extensions safe hair care products if you want to take a look www.goldielocks.com

How long I have to Heat my hair for curl...

[@NS-tz3nt]

Hi , let me start off by saying how much I love your videos , you are my favourite hair stylist to watch .. my personal question is : should brand new hand tied 22” extensions have broken rough feeling hair all along the length? And should the ends be stringy , rough feeling with split ends and a micro amount of thickness compared to the top extension base ?

[@InvisibleBeadExtensions]

Thank you! As far as your extension hair, it depends on a lot of factors like products used, care and styling of the extensions. If you have further questions contact us at [e-mail]

[@user-yk1uf4uk8w]

Hello. What temperature should the curling iron or flat iron be set on? I think I scorched my ends.

[@InvisibleBeadExtensions]

Oh no! Be sure to use a heat protectant and use an iron that you can change the temperature, usually 300°-350°.

[@candicevisentin345]

New to the long extensions and wanted to know the best way to keep your crown from getting greasy while keeping these wicked styles ?

Dry shampoo is your new best friend 😀

[@mariapilarboylen2098]

Which dry shampoo do u recommend!

[@meganroxz18]

I wish you would’ve told us where you have separated your sections … did you take each row separately or include the natural hair above or below in the sections ? I have a hard time making mine look blended

[@InvisibleBeadExtensions]

See our latest video!!

[@michellerichter5217]

What heat do you recommend using for styling with curling irons or flat irons?

[@InvisibleBeadExtensions]

Usually a curling iron 1" to 1 1/4"

[@MsLipsxLikeSugar]

can you still sleep with braids on day 1 of that or will it destroy the style

[@user-jt3hy2pr3k]

What heat setting do u recommend and what size barrel are u using :-)

[@InvisibleBeadExtensions]

We recommend a 1inch barrel for this look. Heat settings are dependent on your current state of hair and it is best to ask your hair stylist 😊

[@TinkerBell-mr9qk]

Cool

[@InvisibleBeadExtensions]

Thank you!

[@SUPERJETSMITH]

I just got these extensions. Every time I use keying Murphy it makes my hair like crunchy What am I doing wrong ? I also watched your washing video and did that My hair never looks like this 😞.

[@InvisibleBeadExtensions]

Hey! Are you using any oil on your hair extensions? We recommend applying oil every single day. Are you using any clarification products? This can suck the moisture out of them hair as well.
