Hair Extension Basics for Beginners

I’ve always had good hair. It is the one physical trait I can count on. It’s thick, it’s long and I don’t need to do much to it, for it to look good.

That being said, the grass is always greener. I have often seen girls with extensions and wished I could play with them, do fun braids and ponytails and just have mermaid hair.

That became a reality when Irresisible Me asked me to try their clip in extensions. I happily excepted and what came next was kind of hilarious.

I had no idea how to put them in, so my first attempt was a complete disaster. Picture clips sticking out of my head and zigzag layers that looked like a really bad haircut!

It was then I realized if I wanted to tap into my inner Kardashian, I was going to need to call in some reinforcements.

I headed to Sally Hershberger LA where my stylist Nick Flores gave me a little extensions 101, if you will. Naturally I recorded the entire thing so I could share it with you guys! Scroll on down and press play to see the transformation and some amazing tips for beginners.

Nick mentions in the video, his thoughts on these extensions. When I brought them in, it was his first time seeing them, and he said they were amazing quality. I have to agree. They are voluminous, and blend with my real hair flawlessly. I went with Royal Chocolate Brown 22” 200g.
