[@MsKizilay]

Another tip to hide your extensions better, is to dye the roots in the color of your own roots i always do that and its a lot more invisible, its really a must i think iff you wear extensions, or you can buy rooted and ombre extensions in your color, teasing is another option yes , following you from the beginning love your vids i always watch them always good tips loves xoxo Silvia.

[@mizzmanatee]

With her being a professional, I am surprised that she didn't mention that or follow that practice since her own roots are so dark!

[@ellebelle6439]

That's a bad idea it'll be more obvious

[@deannelanoue6105]

Brilliant Sylvie. Thanks so much. My hair is super fine (hence the reason for extensions!) and it's a challenge to hide a single weft. 😘

[@SoCalRegisteredNurse]

I have the flat clip ins where the clip part is the same color as the hair. But, I have some low lights with a shadow root. So I took some root cover up and sprayed that band part and brought the spray down about a quarter inch from the band so it blends better. I use two 3 clefts and two one clefts on the sides.

[@HairExtensionsJarne]

The best way of hiding extensions is adding roots like your own hair then you dont need to do so much teasing

[@NevynNoir]

+tw@t ??

[@basirahmad2537]

[@Golds174]

Salon U - that's actually a really good suggestion, as too much teasing can break the hair. Thank you x

[@marybright4020]

In a pinch eye shadow does the trick

[@nancygurishbehindthescenes8621]

Ooo I love this video - extension hair makes ordinary hair - pop! Thanks Silvia! Love your help and your channel! ~~~Nancy

[@MollySkupine]

Your videos are always so helpful! I love it. I remember when I was little, I wanted long hair so bad and my mom was a hairdresser so she was the one who cut my hair and I remember asking her to "cut my hair long" because I really wanted long hair, and I remember throwing a fit because she couldnt "cut my hair long" LOL

[@Ellebangs]

Aw that's adorable.

[@IloveSituandbob]

Very late to this video but your story was the cherry on top. Such a precious memory.

[@Christine0310]

7:04 "it should definitely hide it" ... *sees the entire extension*

[@CuteMeSizzle]

Christine M crying 😂😂😂🤣😭

[@azzwipe8672]

yes when you put down the rest of your hair it wont show

[@plasticbag9006]

@tanamongeau

[@janessavalenti2331]

@petty

[@lyneaizjhiahcooke9411]

Or you could just get the right amount of extensions to cover your whole head because that looks bad

[@joannamoon9888]

Come on people don't clip you're hair extensions that far from the roots 🚫 little bit of wind and they will show! She probably thinks it doesn't because it's at the back of her head and she can't see during the day. If you've been wearing hair extensions then you know this is the worst tip ever.

[@EmilyRad]

can you do an extension placement for updos-specifically braids.

[@kelleybelly4538]

Your hair is beautiful with and without extensions! Do you have any advice for super fine thin hair? I have always wanted to try extensions...but my hair is baby fine and there is not a lot of it. I also have oily hair....dry shampoo just makes my hair look dirty....I would love to get some volume with extensions😊

[@edanluna9896]

I would have loved to hear her response to this question!

[@noiachalom6205]

Strongly do not recommend hair clip extensions if you have thinning hair or very fine/thin hair, unless your planning on only wearing them on special occasions

[@jemmaj2919]

maybe the contrasting colour of ur hair and the extension plays a role? it wouldnt b so bad in the colours matched never the less, great tips

[@christinemott8799]

Thnx! Just got mine.im.afraid. but im gona try thwn

[@monikastephens7619]

Great video!

[@lindaholm2503]

Great tips, I enjoyed your video as I am considering hair extensions and this info will be helpful in their care. I've just subscribed to your channel too!!

[@marybird6062]

thank you for this clever tip, would have never thought to do this !

[@lechantier74]

if you get extentions that MATCH your hair color, your accidental 'shows' won't reveal anything! I'm not trying to sound mean, but I have VERY thin, fine hair and I wear TWENTY tape-ins at 110g. They're carefully taped in brick layering pattern allowing me to safely wear high ponytails or headbands. I've done this since 2009 and LOVE it! I get mine from 'The Hair Shoppe' in surgery Seattle or California. I order two colors and they ship it express and are incredibly helpful. When pricing, pay attention to comparing not only the cost, but the weight as well.if your buying 10 weft for only $50,but they're only 25g, you'll end up with more tape and less hair. Mine are $15/weft at 110g! I have yet to find a distributor or company who carries comparable weight or better. If you know of one, please let me know. Obviously, it MUST be human REMY hair that's NOT asian. Anyhow, thanks for the video

[@Jason49877]

Victoria LeChantier can you do a video demonstrating this? I'd love to see it

[@rinbooolbeauty7697]

Victoria LeChantier We are provide natural virgin remy human hair for tape in hair extensions.seach us on amazon shop name TOFAFA. Or whatapp [phone]. Thanks very much.

[@SheCitrine]

You are selling a product here👍

[@sam12333333]

have you ever tried dying your extension's roots to the same color as your roots, i recently did that and it hides your extensions so much better!!!

[@Ellebangs]

Yes of course that is the best way, but I was asked to show hiding ones that were a little more difficult to hide :) thanks for watching

[@deboraht5079]

ellebangs -- Will you show us how to dye roots into extensions? I've tried before and they turned from a #613 color to a muddy ugly color.

[@LindaengelustrupBlogspot]

@ellebangs can you make videoes about how to wear a bading cap in a stylish way with extensions and about hair and personality type? 🙂

[@brandy_lish]

also if your root isn't the right color on your extensions, just get a root spray!

[@VICTORIAMAKESYOULAUGH]

great tips! Thanks for sharing!

[@ladygaynise]

I love that you clipped the extensions in the hair rather than right in the root. At first I thought it was just weird but I tried it and it's so comfortable! You changed my extension and comfort game! Thank you so much for another fabulous video!

[@taylorpannier3331]

I agree! She's always a life saver

[@CuteMeSizzle]

Basically, everything she does *avoid doing it*

[@kaymyers6667]

What?

[@emilyand_coffee331]

Why?

[@gerrieshapiro2147]

😂😂😂

[@amandareed1871]

I have a really bad cowlick at the back of my head I’ve tried to back comb the cow lick then put the clip on in it didn’t work so I don’t put the extension there up high on the left hand side anymore instead I lower the extension.

[@ivydavis5835]

I've never seen anyone tease hair with a brush

[@k.l.3194]

Many many thanks! That helps a lot :) now I think I will give it a try. Do you have any extensions-favs?

[@Ellebangs]

+Trochili Dae foxy locks and bellami are still my favs!

[@brandy_lish]

I just started wearing clip in extensions,ive worn halos before, i just don't want to tease my hair at allots already fine, one way I seen that I like is TWISTING the hair wear your gonna put the clip on, but mine stay fine without any of that, my issue is hiding the clips that end up in the back of my head, my hair is blonde an thing have to keep messing with them

[@bethwoods6005]

I have an issue cos my hair is sooooo thin so I want extensions but I don't think I have enough of my own hair to hide them

[@tammymatuszczak4804]

Me too, I watch all these videos but my hair is so thin, texture is very fine, I cant see how my real hair could hide the clip in, or tape ins.

[@mtz6198]

Try using a fiber building powder like Toppik to your root area, really helps!

[@katavelino8439]

u can see the first weft u put because the blonde don't match the roots, ur roots r dark so it stands out.

[@sunnydaygina]

I'm so happy to have found your channel! You're so pretty, great personality, lovely style and a joy to watch...oh and you make me laugh at times! :)

[@media3group]

[@ashe3945]

Well I just enjoyed listening to you speak because you are very professional and clear. Dont wear extensions but you are a great teacher!

[@Dr.Zhivago]

omg I saw so many women with extensions exposed at the mall and I feel bad for them. Super helpful.

[@princessl.d.g.]

I made a wig with a bundle and half(26") and a 20" 4x4 closure. Normally people would use 4 bundles, but I use less for a natural look. I spaced the wefts 2 inches apart. Could I tease the hair to hide the tracks from showing?

[@radbaby3]

great tip! thanks

[@debbiebea56]

have you ever tried the halo they are the ones with the band around the hair and you put them on your hair and around they look so beautiful and they're so easy you can just pop them on .them right off

[@monkeynumbernine]

Goodness, I have thin hair and I always go 6 months between between new applications. Also, I use great lengths.

[@MissTronik]

I am deciding right now whether to or not buy Clip in Extensions. Your video was really helpful. I agree that you don’t need more than 2-4 pieces. So great video. 😘😊

[@bekahybarra403]

I have a question my natural hair usually stops at my shoulders and doesn't grow at all after that. I have tried clip in extensions and they are a pain... I was thinking of tape in extensions but don't know where to apply them and how to blend it in to my natural hair i want really long hair. I'm a hairdresser too.. I just have never tried tape in before. So I'm tried to get all of the information before I get them... I just need help on them. And suggestions would be great.

[@Samantha12109]

What brand is your tape in extensions? I've been wanting just a couple towards my face as well but nervous to buy them online

[@tararae8]

I love your placement of your balyage! How would I explain this to my hair dresser??

[@island661]

I wish you would tell us the products you used. Brand of extension, and brush.

[@rinbooolbeauty7697]

Listy TOFAFA on amazon .waiting for beauty!

[@loobsy1]

[@hazeltropix1170]

[@ednafutz6606]

[@gracefulbarbie]

[@christinemott8799]

[@lisadigiacomo9989]

Hello, I just found your page and I have questions about Hair Extensions I do wear clippings do you know anything about tape and extensions or hand sewn extensions in which one is better for your hair? Clippings are something I just put in before going to dinner but I want something as a more permanent situationand I’m having some confusion to which one is better for my hair!? Ty!

[@pippikelvie5097]

It drives me f icken crazy how she keeps looking to the left at NOTHING. It's so distracting. Why does she look to the left literally every four seconds the whole time.

[@dianebaum4682]

Pippi Kelvie the her right, our left . Thanks for pointing that out, now I see it all the time!

[@geosky4708]

Having extensions colored to match hair rooted in this case makes a huge difference to not detect.

[@ticheandora503]

The makeup really suits you. I watched your later videos, but this makeup makes you look much younger. You are beautiful :)

[@marandahenderson4776]

Thank you so much i have really thin hair. Gonna try this!!!! 😉

[@lenaal-yousaif7038]

the problem i have is that i have short hair in the crown area... short to cover all the teasing and extensions put low...😔😔😔

[@kristinabarkovic4525]

Get a topper extension. its a 1 piece extension that covers ur whole head and much less work to put it in. they are expensive tho, its like a half wig sort of

[@itsmememe3489]

Should’ve used ombré extensions. The blonde stands out against darker roots

[@dvalerio2412]

Happy 2022. I just watched this tutorial 😳😍

[@samanthastrietbeck7422]

What brand extensions do you use?

[@modelformodels]

Your natural hair color and style is perfect. You dont need those at all you are gorgeous with medium feathery hair

[@1heartmakeups]

Can we take a moment to talk about your beautiful base color? 👌🏼

[@sharonmoney935]

What vendor do you like to buy your clip in extensions? Please give us who we can buy wavy, 16 to 18 inch jet black hair extensions that are thick from top to ends and really makes your hair full. Thanks!

[@Ellebangs]

Glam seamless makes really good quality extensions. Best I’ve tried. They’re fairly pricy though. I have a discount code on ellebangs.com

[@SuzyQ056]

Great video ! Could you do a video on how to dye your extensions to match your own hair colour? Happy 2016 to you x

[@xxriotgirlxx]

My hair feels so thin I just can’t figure out how to hide them n my hair cut doesn’t work well for them blending in 🥺

[@Helilicious101]

really helpful :) you have awesome hair

[@francesgaxiola4127]

What brand of extensions do you recommend?? Anyone? 😍 Thank you 💜💜

[@amandareed1871]

I will try back brushing instead of back combing Thankyou for teaching me

[@Lyndy914]

Sorry but you really need to tone all that orangey hair

[@PineGeri]

Make sure the top of extension matches root.

[@brunad7775]

Hey , I naturally have dark Brown hair, around a 4 maybe i would love if you could tell me how to get to a level 6 without orangy tones, help me please!!

[@cmarie5355]

You look so much like Shakira!

[@greenred2121]

I just wanted to let U know u did a video a while back On how to chelate your hair and I did it last night and let me tell u my hair needed it! After I was done my hair felt lighter and felt thicker! Thanks for that video!

[@Ellebangs]

That's one of my favorite little tips. Glad you liked the result! :)

[@cgirl905]

Can you out the link in? I went down and couldn't locate that video.

[@kanikajohnson4533]

I tape mine on an angle at the front looks like one length and the wind blows you cant see them lol

[@carasirman1756]

Thank you! I have wanted to hair spray the hair over my extensions but I didn't quite know how to do it. This is just what I was looking for.

[@AlissaWithAnI]

Thank you for some great tips! I've had the hardest time trying to hide them in my thin hair. Hope you have a great 2016!💕

[@Ellebangs]

+AlissaErinBeauty Thanks for watching! and best of luck with ur extensions :) happy 2016! xo

[@delaneylucas6010]

The thumbnail sucks u didn’t blend them whatsoever

[@jeanetteharvey8834]

so basically everyone has ripped me for a year...... and just basically what not to do yep..........awesome

[@reegr1]

how can i pick the correct color? i feel like i am in between two colors do you send out samples?

[@alexandramartin7026]

Great tips! Question:Do you think clip in's can eventually tug and make your hair follicle loose to the point of falling out? Meaning over time can it thin out your hair.

[@leah_desha]

alexandra martin I think these are really bad for your hair personally! I've worn this brand for the past few years but my hair seems to be getting thinner and refuses to grow ...I was hoping just to wear these until my hair grew back out...but looks like I'm a "lifer" lol

[@tracey1157]

Exactly what I needed to see! You have gorgeous hair...Thanks for doing this ❤

[@salleven]

Can't wait for a beauty/filming room tour!

[@winnieholtermann-jensen58]

It could also help if the extentions was custom colored😌 to mach your owen hair

[@marrz5266]

I wanted to use hair extensions to completely cover my hair from root to tip. How would I do that?

[@fragilendfrantic]

If I ever dare tease my thing overly bleached hair like that i'd be bald

[@jklingelhoefer1]

Can you do a full info video on extensions? Brands you prefer, lengths and color matching? I have a pair that no longer match and resisted lightening through bleaching so looking to reorder. Thanks!

[@lorithompson9166]

Get ombré color extensions

[@jmjpmc]

THANK YOU!!!♥️ from Chicago

[@gracelotz8525]

My hair is a pixie bob but wear a full head of extensions that look super natural because my hair is so dense. I am lucky I can go 1 inch from where my part is and tease the extension for volume. Complete look change haha. But I have to say your balayage in this video is stunning!!! The melt is perfect

[@manda1561]

What color are your roots? I'm salivating. Perfect dark with the blonde. 😋

[@victoriad1127]

Great video, I have been wearing extensions for awhile now and need to re-do the placement of them I, think I am wearing them too high ! Thank you so much, I hope you have a great day!

[@AL-on3zp]

This was super helpful, thank you! What type of hairbrush are you using for teasing? I feel like I have tried to tease my hair so many times and I can never do it properly! Maybe its the brush I am using?

[@candacecola6295]

we're was this when i wore them

[@Ellebangs]

+Candace Cola hahaha time to give them a second chance :) thanks for watching xoxo

[@candacecola6295]

No problem i always watch your videos i love them ♡xoxo

[@AnitaKumari-pe1qc]

You're very pretty ♥️

[@HeidiSvenson]

I wish I would've known about you when I sill lived in SF....(who am I kidding, I wish I never left SF!! But I digress....:( ...I love your videos. Two quick questions (I hope you can answer): I bought some extensions that arrived much more golden toned and warm/orangey or brassy tone than I want. They are supposed to be 100% human hair so my question is - can I bleach them to lift the gold out and reach a more ash tone/ light blonde that will match my own hair? I want to do low-lights too, (like about a level 6 or so) not sure if I should do it in two steps or a foil weave all at once...but not as worried about that. Any suggestions you have are greatly appreciated. Also - on a totally separate subject - what eye shadows (company/shade) are you wearing ? I love it! Thx!

[@jessicajobin1572]

Heidi Svenson hey from experience don't bleach extensions use purple shampoo instead it will tone them

[@EricaRodriguezOMG]

Yes to pull out the brassy and lift 1 - shades. Use a 20 vol developer and Wella T18. Make sure to use foil or use a hair dryer to warm them up while it processes

[@angeliquecombs9249]

ZALA customer service is so genuine, they always are so helpful and accomodating!! I've asked such stupid questions and there always so sweet!!

[@mmckinney1070]

Is there any extension company that can tell you exactly where the hair comes from and collects it ethically?

[@darlenerushton946]

Thanks for the video. You are so cute and very talented. How do you clean synthetic hair extensions such as the hair u wear from Christie Brinkley? love you too❣✌👍

[@charlottetheartist327]

Darlene Rushton I think mostly you do the washing gental and by hand using a wig shampoo or even suave but different people do differently. I try to let my synthetic hair, air dry flat after wash and condition, on a towel. and natural hair can be more easily blown dry with out too much damage or tangles.

[@siobhanquinn4635]

Dang this looks hard

[@goodcanadia]

great video! Can you do one on the other type of extensions that go on with a fishline kinda headband? I got pulled in to buy one of these extensions in Vegas last May.. I find it's maybe set to high and so heavy and hot especially in the summer, yet so beautiful and cost $150!!

[@goodcanadia]

+April Good oya and i can't wear a ponytail with it like the first salesgirl showed me!
