00:00Hey guys, I'm Hannah.
00:01And I'm Ryan.
00:02And today...
00:03We are...
00:04Trying out...
00:05Extinction.
00:09How are you feeling?
00:10So I'm feeling a little nervous.
00:13You know, there are all these thoughts going through my mind, is it going to look right?
00:16Like I've had short hair for so long and I love it.
00:19So I'm just a little nervous right now, but I can give someone a little Solange nose,
00:24a little Zendaya, a little Beyonce.
00:27Yes, you can.
00:28I'm excited.
00:29Yeah.
00:29Let's do it.
00:30Let's do it.
00:32All right, guys.
00:33I'm about to go into the studio and get this hair to eat.
00:36Okay.
00:37I'm really nervous.
00:39I'm not going to lie, but I'm also really excited.
00:42I might never want to take it out.
00:44I might want to get it again.
00:45Who knows?
00:46So I am just about to go meet my friend, Andrea.
00:51She is the best ever.
00:53So I'm definitely a little bit nervous about how the hair is going to look.
00:56I really want it to look natural.
00:58And like my hair just magically grew.
01:00Are you going to teach me how to use all of this?
01:01Because I have no idea.
01:02Yeah, I'm going to have to because you don't know anything about anything.
01:16Oh, man.
01:17So the first one is about to get patched on.
01:21So the cool thing about tape and extensions is they don't require any type of heat whatsoever.
01:28You're actually just basically looking at a piece of extension with the top that is
01:36going to have almost like a double-sided tape and what you're going to do is section out
01:42thin slices of your natural hair and kind of sandwich that hair in between two pieces of
01:50extensions.
01:50So now Simone is sewing the extensions into my head.
01:59And this is your little seamless smart tab sandwich.
02:05Hmm.
02:07Okay.
02:07So we're stitching it in right now and we're using nylon thread with a curve needle.
02:15And this is called a blanket stitch.
02:16I know it's called a sew-in, but it's like literally a sew-in, but it doesn't feel like,
02:22because it's like on my braid, it doesn't hurt and it doesn't pull my hair, which is cool.
02:29You are putting the hair at different parts of my head so that it blends naturally with
02:35my actual hair because my actual hair, the length of your hair, is only about to my shoulders.
02:41Simone is now just shaping my hair up with the razor.
02:48She just said that I am prettier than salon.
02:53I meant it.
02:54I meant it.
02:56Wow.
02:57Oh my God.
03:00I'm obsessed with it.
03:02Oh my God, we did it.
03:04Look at, look at, I look like a lion.
03:07It is my first official day with my new hair.
03:13I'm loving it.
03:14I curled it this morning.
03:15Nothing to complain about.
03:17Uh, I got great compliments from my roommate.
03:20Okay.
03:21So it's day one and I'm realizing for the first time that maybe I should have asked how to wrap
03:28this up at night.
03:29All I have is a scarf.
03:30So what I'm going to do is just wrap this around my edges and hope for the best tomorrow morning.
03:37So it's day two with my hair and this morning I woke up.
03:42Usually I shower every single day and I did not get to wash my hair today, which is very strange
03:48for me.
03:48So I put a little baby powder in on the top.
03:51Probably didn't rub it in all the way.
03:52Um, and I decided to straighten because curling takes a little longer and I was running a little late for
03:59work.
03:59But I'm still loving it.
04:01Today's the color, color day.
04:04I'm going to get a ombre blonde.
04:06It'll be a nice summer color.
04:09Okay.
04:09I just washed the hair for the first time.
04:12Definitely not easy.
04:14Very different.
04:15It felt heavy.
04:16So as I was washing it, the water would like, it would pull my head backwards.
04:22That's going to be the hardest part about the summer is not being able to wash my hair whenever it
04:26starts to feel gross.
04:27So tonight I have to stay over at my boyfriend's house because the water isn't working and I need to
04:32take a shower and get ready and all of that good stuff.
04:35I'm trying to figure out how to put his long sleeve black shirt on my head as a hair wrap.
04:43Literally every time I say I'm going to take my hair out, I always get like hella compliments the same
04:48day or like minutes later.
04:49I'm like, maybe I should keep it.
04:51So I've got to admit, I've been pretty rough on my hair.
04:54Um, I'm on vacation.
04:56So I was in the ocean today and was swimming and one piece came out and was just floating next
05:03to me.
05:03And since then, a few others have definitely come loose.
05:08And I'm now back au naturel at my awkwardly medium length hair and I'm not too mad about it.
05:16I mean, I had an incredible time.
05:18I would definitely do this again.
05:20I definitely am now more eager and determined to grow my hair out to that length because it was just
05:27easy and it was fun to do hairstyles with and to play around with.
05:30Um, and I really miss that about having that really long luscious mermaid hair.
05:35I highly recommend that you have multiple scarves.
05:40You have a bottle of spray or a little bottle that, you know, you can put water in to spray
05:47and spritz your hair.
05:49That's like a weave starter pack, so.
05:52With the extensions in, I felt like I was expressing myself in a completely new way, carrying myself a little
05:59bit differently.
05:59And I liked that.
06:01Thanks so much for watching.
