I love your personality. I love that you aren't forcing yourself to try and be Quirky & funny, it's so annoying when girl's on YT try and act quirky. Stay the way you are : )

[@Barbielena]

Dont leave them damp. It will start smelling bad from developing mold. And never sleep on them when they havent fully dried. Best is to at least blow dry the weave where they are sewed in.

[@nancysalas2163]

Your natural hair was fine I didn't see it so thin but those extensions are really nice and they compliment you congrats

[@cluelessvalleygirl735]

I live in imperial California & I paid $662 for 18 inch hair & my stylist charged me $180 for installation. It would have been $740 for 22 inches but I didn’t want my hair too long. I’m not sure what brand they are tho. Also I believe blond extensions cost more! So that’s the price for dark hair but for blond 22 inches it would have been $920. I hope this helps anyone looking into getting these ☺️

[@rachelhunka5379]

@Hailea Whitson yup! I paid about $700 plus services in Canada.

[@erikabeckerr]

I was told to absolutely never put olaplex on hair extensions bc its a protein bond builder and it will make ur extensions elasticity & will ruin them!

[@TheAlfaAesthetician]

Even the olaplex bonding oil too?

[@Katielomax7]

@@TheAlfaAesthetician no.7 bonding oil is amazing for extensions. Also olaplex in general doesn’t contain protein and is safe to use on them 🤍

[@SerenaPleskach]

Adding onto the comments for people looking for pricing! I’m in the Atlanta area and paid $580 for my 20 inch hair, $250 for install! I paid close to $1000 total because I also color matched and recolored my actual hair back to my natural color because my hair was balayaged pink!

[@Jeremiah13tears]

You can’t feel it but it’s a little tight to wear a bun? It does look gorgeous. And it’s so true they get way shorter in about a month. Seriously like can end up 2 inches shorter! The lighter it is the more it breaks. And shit gets dry seriously. You have to use the whole Olaplex line. Especially # 6 and the oil on the ends. I’ve been doing extensions 23 years. That’s literally the only product that slows the breakage. You look Gorgeous all and all. 😉

[@britneyhoch3473]

Hi Amy! I am 4 months post op and the hair loss is really, really bad😞. Do you think it’s too early for me to get extensions like these? Should I wait longer?

Way off subject, but where did you get your black top that you are wearing in the beginning of your video when you get your extensions in?

So for that method can they do a move up? Or dot hey have to be completely removed to move them up?

[@mercijoli]

Not sure if you were still needing an answer but they recommend getting them moved up every 2 months and they last about 9-12 months if you choose to keep maintaining them.

[@margie1830]

I’m spending 1500$ for 20 inch 😳 maybe I should explore some options 😅

[@michaelakennedy8464]

Are they supposed to feel loose or tight I just got mine and mine are already feeling loose . Also there’s no way mine could go in a bun it feels weird to be put up lol

[@dnllmaurer1]

Best to research, know what's involved & plan your budget. Learn about types of hair products, how they're made, pro's vs con's & costs. Machine sewn wefts are less expensive than hand tied. If your hair is thin or fine you may want to add single sided tape ins, I-tips, or keratin tips at sides. Keratin tips can be spit in half for temple areas. Watch several stylists do the install process to see variations. Understand required maintenance, proper care & potential problems. Prices vary depending on location, like any beauty service. Chose an experienced stylist or see their work. In consultation discuss your expectations, hair texture & specific color preferences. Best wishes to you & abundant Blessings!
