This whole video had me crying. I just got my extensions out and I felt everything you did. And now I’m going to start a new hair journey but I was feeling so bad. Thank you for sharing!
I’m really nervous to take my extensions out .. I have sewn in ones. My last appointment to get them reinstalled I was just going to leave them out but I couldn’t stand looking at myself without them.. so I put them back in. I’ll have them for another 6 weeks but after that they’ll stay out. My hair is so brittle and thin. My hairdresser says that it only feels that way because I’m not used to having no extensions but I tried putting it in a bun and I have the smallest little ponytail, I wouldn’t even consider it a bun. I used to have a full head with long hair and now I’ll have to cut it shorter than it was a year ago. I looked at photos of myself from 1-3 years ago and it just makes me sad. I don’t know how to get my hair back. I definitely took my natural hair for granted
@Blessedbeyondmeasure23 You are serious, yes? Is it a cautionary tale warning of the perils of vanity, I wonder? I'm trying to think of the reasoning that led to that proclamation of sin... and if it being a sin for the wearer, is the person who put the extensions in a temptor- in league with Satan? Very fascinating! And if SO... would it mean condemnation for the actual hair styling profession and the manufacturers of extensions and tools as well..? I'm just trying to follow the progression here.... Thank you for sharing!!!
@dawnfunck8928 vanity is a sin. If you think about it, the whole beauty industry works to make ppl feel bad about themselves, it generates insecurities, anxieties, etc...some ppl really get depressed and even kill themselves for the way they look. And vanity is bad, there's more to ppl than the way they look.
I’m in my late 40’s and I’ve stopped worrying about what people think of me. (Not 100% but more like 75%) I’ve learned so much how to be grateful for who I am, for my family, for my job ( legally blind & still working-so stoked about that 😉). I really enjoyed this video! You are very easy to watch & listen to. Plus I love the editing on this video, it cracks me up 😆
This was me, i loved, loved my extensions, but once i removed them my hair was soooo much thinner and just damaged. I did feel more beautiful with the long hair and instantly frumpy once i removed them. It is true, that long hair, being thin etc does not change the person you are. We need to realize that we are all beautiful in the body we are given. (easier said than done) I love you hair in the video! FYI i now have some clip in hair extensions for those days i want fuller hair and love those (but constantyly worrry that others can see them)
Thank you for sharing your experiences with hair extensions. I was on the fence about getting them and now I know hair extensions are not for me! You are such a beautiful person
I'm sorry you went through this. You are a pretty lady. A lot of women can't pull off short hair, but you can. At least you learned something from this. We shouldn't need fake hair or fake nails to make us feel beautiful, but sadly it's the world we live in.
Thanks for sharing your story. I started using hair extension about four months ago. It was great at first. Then it had typed to hurt my scalp and so I’ve decided to take them out because I don’t want traction alopecia. Now I’m going on a hair journey to recover from heat damage and hair extension damage.
Thank you for this 😢 I also put a lot of my self-worth and having longer hair. My extensions were starting to hurt I was using clip ins, that I got after my hair got cut too short. It has been almost 6 months and my hair has grown a lot. I don’t get why I still feel so insecure for not having hair super long. I am washing and putting the extensions away after watching your video. I’m not gonna wear them until my friends wedding in late May. I feel like I stopped the madness just in the nick of time. Thank you for giving me my life back! And I think you are absolutely gorgeous just the way you are.
Relatable! I’ve been losing my hair for over a year now and it’s devastating. I attach my femininity to my hair length ;-( Thank you so much for this video and your story…it truly lessens my fear. You’re gorgeous & amazing. Luv u💜
It took a lot of courage to make this video. You are right, no one talks about the down side of hair extensions. You look absolutely beautiful with your current beautiful, luscious locks! ❤
I really enjoyed listening to your story and how you changed your perspective on whats important (and you're funny😅) Your hair looks beautiful and the short cut looks great💕
So many good points!!! ❤ I’ve thought about getting extensions but after watching your video I am definitely NOT!!! Thank so much for your honesty!!! And you look great!😉
Great video and great personality so real you are so pretty and your natural hair suits you sista 😍🥰🥰you saved me from going in to get tap in extensions, j have fine hair too red wavy and some damage because I try to straighten it, now after listening tu you I am going to leave my hair alone and embrace my natural hair and just relax let it grow. I relate to you Thank you so much Again your hair is beautiful and you are beautiful, so happy for you it turns out good. I have had damage happened after over processed hair 😔and I lost sleep and got so depressed, and it’s true having long hair doesn’t mean everything
Love this! I can definitely relate to feeling insecure about hair since mine has also thinned and changed texture over the last couple years. This video was a great reminder to not sweat it too much. 💛
I realize this is an older video but I think it's great that you appreciate your natural hair because you have a great head of it! I know a few people that wear extensions, and I think in both cases it's ruined their hair but they keep using them as I don't think they want to or don't know how to break away from them if that makes sense. Good video.
I was going to an hair extension appointment tomorrow…. I’ve changed my mind now ❤️ Deep down l know it will damage my hair because my hair is very thin. Better to look after what l have left Thanks for this video
Rachel, thank you for sharing your journey, I’ve literally had the worst 2 weeks of my life and some how I thought taking out my hair extensions that I had in for 2 years was appropriate to do while I was coping with a lot of emotional distress. When I took them out earlier today I felt an immediate feeling of hopelessness. I’m literally bald and have been crying since I’ve taken them out for about 6 hrs now. I have my haircut appt on Thursday and I really hope my haircut will turn out as great as yours. My only prayer is that my hair grows back. 😢
You look amazing with your short hair. I used to have a haircut like yours and always felt confident even then. I have been on my hair extensions for almost 2 years now and planning to take a break since I’m starting to feel that it was more work and needed to come back to tighten up and all that. Also, it cost me so much money 💰 that money could go to my stocks and vacation. I didn’t feel ugly when my hair was short nor my confidence was not low either. It just feels good to have that extra volume and length as well..but at the same time same time it doesn’t feel real, need to always be cautious of brushing it so yea im removing it soon
Love the hair cut and I love the lesson or outlook that you came out of this with. Tells a lot about who you are 💖 Allie picked a good winner and I’m very grateful I found your channel! I’m turning 37 soon and much of what you said speaks to me. Keep being amazing Rachel 😘
Hi Rachel! So agree with you about self love. It’s ALL about who you are & not what you look like. As long as a person is healthy, self acceptance of all our flaws and positive aspects is what will take us to the next level. Life is a journey of living, learning & loving. You do a fabulous job of opening your heart to share and inspire others to consider changes that will take them higher. 👏👏👏Bravo! PS. Your hair looks gorgeous!!
Not gonna lie! I was shocked and I’m sorry you had a bad experience with the extensions! But girl!!!! You’re rocking that bob! You look BEAUTIFUL!!!! 🤩
My sister and I are planning to add ring hair extensions for length. I'm doing some research before we do as we are unsure and dont want to ruin our hair 🥲 Thank you for sharing your experience.
I cannot imagine how you felt throughout all of this. I was sick late in 2019 and in early 2020, more than half my hair fell out. I believe from the trauma. My hair grows fast and is usually very long so it was almost "who I was" even though I wasn't super attached to it. Once it was gone, it was very very traumatic as dumb as it sounds. Girl let me tell you, THIS hair, is THE hair for you. Your jaw line, your neck, it looks so full, healthy and amazing. Your loss will grow back and it will be even fuller. Love your content and you ❤❤❤
I haven't gotten extensions, but I went through period of trying to "fix" my hair, going to different stylist, ect. It has been 4 month struggle. Your video has really help put things into perspective for me.
The same thing happened to me with tape ins. I had to regrow my hair. I also have not bleached my hair too much since. I just wear clip ins i find then to be safer
Rachel, your hair looks great compared to mine after removing my Keralinks. My hair is so damaged I think I'm going to need a pixie cut and just wear a hair piece. My dog just died, my hair is a mess and I feel at a low point. I know, first world problems, but I feel so terrible.
@ thank you. I did end up with a pixie and my hair finally looks healthy again. Now it will grow out healthy and I just have to talk myself out of getting extensions again!
I had the same experience 😭😭😭 I had a bob and my extensions went to my butt and basically I kept them on for so long because made me feel beautiful but when I took them out I lost half of the hair on my head 😭never again !!!! Tape ins are just not good for fine hair I love clip ons from insert name here they feel so good and look natural and I only need like 4 in to make my hair look thicker
I’ve been using easi hair pro tape ins for three years and go to a professional. It’s an expense I justify. My hair always has had volume on top and thinner at the bottom. Hair extensions haven’t changed my actual hair. What impacts my hair the most is diet, stress and vitamin D levels. Also covid was bad. I’ve actually improved my ferritin levels and my hair has finally grown. I’ve only had 2-3 extensions rip out of my head during accidental scenarios.
I've been doing tape ins at home for 2 years now and my hair is still just as full as it's always been. I think the reason that so many people experience thinning is because of the way that hairstylists go crazy with the scissors when they go to blend your real hair into the extensions to make the extensions look more "seamless". The blending that they do actually cuts off and thins so much of your real hair from the bottom while leaving your hair really thick at the top. I do mine at home so I have control over how much of my actual hair is being cut
This is actually really true! Your hair sheds everyday so it’s normal’ when they remove the extensions to see a lot of hair coming off with them because the hair that shedd off when you are wearing them gets trapped in the glue! But yes hairstylist do cut a lot of your hair to blend it with your real hair!
Thank you this was so helpful I did every extension you could think of My last one was a weave however they said two would make it look fuller Now I have a completely bald on my left side by my ear They were too heavy for my thin hair I am wearing a topper but put in combs instead of clips 🙏my left side will grow back and wear a cap because I don't think in my mind the topper looks real So I guess I'm staying in a lot Waiting for a halo so I can let me own hair a rest
I also love that you have faith in your stylist and his approach to caring for you and your hair throughout the process. I think if he had been more reactive to it, you may have felt differently as well. Kudos to him!
I had nanos for a year and I experienced the exact same thing, such a mentally hard thing to overcome once you've had them out and trying to feel confident
@@danaelnwhe9914 oh my gosh so badly, these aren't good for your hair, they were constantly pulling on the roots of my hair which led a lot of it to break off, my hair was half way down my back now its just below my shoulders, its so thin and damaged and takes years to fix, please don't do it, if you ever see videos of girls getting theyre extensions taken out and refitted, have a close look and the length of the natural hair when the extensions are out(mega short usually) it feels amazing at first having all that hair but your poor hair is suffering badly 💔
I just got my sew in extensions out and I'm in the FREAKING TF OUT stage 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩. I'm so mad I got them in the first place. Your new haircut looks beautiful. I just don't think short hair will suit me 😢. And I'm going on vacation soon...
I can relate, I just got weft extensions out too.. had them for 4 months .. 2 reinstalls .. feel lied to as they said that it would not make my hair thinner .. it definitely has and now my hair is just thin and short and I have to start again. Wish I just left my natural hair tbh.
I have naturally very thick coily curly hair, and I relate .. aaaaalways wanted thinner, straight hair, or big beach waves, and in the process ruined my hair texture.. I’ve been wearing clip ins for like 3 years at this point, and it add sooooo much confidence, but my hair is definitely thinning out and breaking off a bunch .. 😢
I’m getting my extensions removed in two days and I am getting my haircut very very short I feel better now after watching your video thank you cause I am scared 😟
This just happened to me i feel like can't go on like this but you made me feel better because i know im not the only one , should i actually cut my hair , i lost some hair , i have hair little bit falling , and i have breakage some of the hair are short please reply 😭 and thank you for sharing your journey
I know how you feel. It is DEVASTATING having hair loss... I felt so much better when I cut my hair. It felt much fuller. I'm so sorry this happened to you.
Why did I do this EXACT same thing?! 😭 currently trying to grow my hair. I have a third of the hair that she has in this video post tape-ins. It’s so hard not to run out and get new extensions! A different method of course but I know there will still be significant damage. I have clip ins that I try to use only twice a week and I am really focused on hair health. My hair is so thin and uneven that a cut would not make it better. Unless I had a pixie and I CANT. Love your bob!!! It definitely suits you! Maybe I will cut it in a year or two when it evens out enough for a shoulder bob
Yeah, 40 pieces is too much for fine hair. I just had mine done for the first time and she put in 18, they were too heavy for my hair which is thin fine hair. I had them in for 2 days and took them out myself with the remover. I could feel my natural hair ripping all throughout the day. I should have had half sandwich because my hair is baby fine and could not handle the weight. 16" and 18" my natural hair is around 16". I appreciate my hair and regret wasting money for 2 days of longer thicker hair. Minixidol and semaine vitamins are my hair support system to still achieve some more hair. I have faith.
Never, ever lose your hair dresser. He can't be duplicated and he did an absolutely prodessional job on bringing your hair back. If only ALL of us had him, right?!!! 😊
It sounds like the HAIR was the issue, and likely the hair company sold you bunk bundles. It needs to be CUTICLE hair- strands are actually formed like a Christmas tree, with sheaths of keratin. PREMIUM quality hair companies collect the hair for their wefts in a way that ensures the cuticles ALLL run the same direction which avoids tangling and matting. When a cheap hair company buys bulk hair and colours it …. And the cuticles are all running in different directions from strand to strand…… it’s going to tangle matt and knot immediately…… immediately. BUY CUTICLE HAIR. It’s more expensive but …..
This recently happened to me. I'm Licensed hair stylist. I had put in tape in extensions myself, and not did not maintain them properly, it ended up getting matted at my roots so when I took the hair extensions out my entire head was one huge knot. I ended up getting it untangled at a salon and they ended up having to cut a lot of my hair off. The whole experience for me was traumatic. This video definitely makes me feel better ❤ thank you
I take off my keratin hair extensions after 2 months and lost half of my hair. It's a terrible feeling. You want to improve your appearance and extensions will only make it worse😞👎🏼
Tape extension are known to cause damage because once you remove the glue ,it can pull out the hair .Best to use sew in or micro beads and make sure they don't use to much hair on hair.Make sure your stylist knows about hair extensions
@@Layla-hg4ux No glue extensions are known to cause more damage.Its done by many hairdressers who don't know how to do sew in or microbeads .Or like it because it's quicker to put in then other methods.But all extensions can damage the hair.Your stylist has to make sure your hair can support the extra weight of the hair extensions and make sure you do the upkeep to stop you losing hair.
@@BettysCloset you're right! I had microbeads and sew in but removed both times after 1 month. I didn't wanna take a chance to lose more hair. Too bad I really like them! I'm gonna use clips in for now.
You and I are so much alike!!! Wow!! You instantly inspired me!! You reached out to me!!! I wear halo extensions! No clips, no glue!! Notta thing!!! But the problem with them is I feel because I have very fine hair as well, they don’t look right! Most extensions are like Indian hair, very thick, course hair! I wished my hair was that beautiful but it’s not! I have a wavy curly hair pattern and it’s very fine like I said. Another thing with halo extensions is like all extensions they still drive me crazy. They itch and it drives me crazy, and when you want to pull your hair in a ponytail, it’s very intimidating because you have this gob of whatever sitting bunched up closes to where your ponytail is secure but the halo extension rides up and it’s annoying. It’s just so much easier and better to feel your hands running through your hair! I feel the same way though. I’m always concerned and concentrating on what and how long my hair should look because of tv, celebrities etc, your right!! Does it matter what guys or anyone thinks about your hair. I mean am I supposed to look like this or that to have someone special in my life. I have a beautiful heart and mindset. I’m caring, compassionate, strong and help others. Just like you beautiful lady!! I hope you get this and thank you for your video I came across today of you!! You have a new subscriber here!!!!!!❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH! you made me tear hearing your story. Im currently going through this now. Im ready to let go of my 2yr hair extension journey and im feeling just like you. You helped me realize that it wont matter if i cut it. Whats important is my character as a person and who i am inside. Thank u so much for sharing this
My hair gal always told me that so much hair comes out bc you don't do the normal "shedding" because the hair is stuck in the extension sandwich and you don't wash it as much! I think I just wanted to believe that😅 But I def think there are better ways to care for your hair with extensions!
No actually your hair gal is right! Humans shed about 100 to 200 hair a day but when you put hair extensions the shedding get stuck in the glue so when you remove them it’s normal to have a lot of hair fall! But here I think this girl just didn’t take the proper care and didn’t buy the best hair type for her hair! No shade but it’s very important to let a professional remove them and to not do it by yourself (which she didn’t do) I have been using hair extensions for 4 years now and I do remove them every three month and put them back 2 weeks after but my hair haven’t been damaged because I always buy the best hair and let the pro put them in and remove them! ❤
I Let a pro do my hair and I only had the beaded sew in wefts for about a year and my hair was more then 50% gone. 😢. They do def take a toll on your hair
Hi. Well in beauty school in 1989 a girl corn rowed my hair and super glued wefts on the rows. She said that was how you did the hair extensions and she did it a lot and very experienced. Well it’s 2022 and my hair is fianlly awesome it literally took more than 30 years to get my scalp back from the glue damage etc. i still have nightmares my hair is coming out etc it’s crazy. I did make a halo hair for when it’s really windy on the beach I can throw that on and do a side braid to protect my hair but I got done breakage as well on the top when I take it out my hair gets tangled on the wire. No more the clips and tape ins no good for me either the clips hurt , just what I’ve done to get my hair to grow fast and thick I take a dht blocker hair vitamin 3 a day and I also use bondi boost scalp spray and I take brewed coffee and spray it daily and don’t wash it out, it makes your hair really thick too, just a few tips. Your lucky your hair looks great! It looks really thick too!! And yes. I love how they look too!!
I'm now 67 and my hair started thinning in my early twenties. My mother had this problem so I guess it's genetic, also I suffered bulimia in my twenties which did,nt help. Over the years the condition of my hair grew much worse. This problem really effected my mental health eventually stopped going out socially. About 8 years ago I started wearing hair pieces, they were good but I would,nt let anyone see me without my hair piece A few days ago I took the leap to have a mesh put in to the tune of £600 sterling!!! I absolutely hate it it's uncomfortable and after a few days it already looks like crap, can't wait to get it out. Anyone ant tips on how I could attempt to grow back my own hair bearing in mind it's thinned a long time. God bless❤
I ruined my hair to. Actually my scalp! I have traction alopecia in little spots from the clip ins. Never ever again!! Do the halo extensions!! There is no damage!! I wish these came out years ago
This video inspired me to do the big CHOP and remove my extensions. Feels so much lighter and looks more modern imo. Thanks the inspo and keep up the amazing vids!
Hi-Well watching you I was thinking... you have a beautiful face and hair -enjoyed your thoughts...I thought-Wow-Molly you need to start wearing some MAKEUP!!!.. You must never of had bad skin, but it took a long time for me to just get a really clear face and people complement my skin but my main way of keeping good skin has been not putting anything on except well. I only this year started putting some sunscreen but I really research the heck out of it so as much as I would love to know how to do make up the way you do with all the brushes and everything I'm wondering did you ever have trouble with your skin?... I'd love to know the brushes you use in the eye make up and I'm impressed with the fact that you teach ballroom dancing I wish you were nearby so I could take it you must be in LA cause when you mentioned the flight I'm from the Brentwood area last time I remember flies being around was I lived in LA? I live in Haverford Pennsylvania now and I don't really see flies around here the way I didn't LA maybe it's the weather.:) anyway, you're right it's always good to get some perspective as you said there's no one in my life that I would love better because they had better hair better anything to do with their parents? It's how you feel when you're with them I will say at the same time somewhere there's a balance, because I do know when I a certain amount of oh taking care of your healthy your skin and your make up and your hair does give you confidence but I think it's gone overboard I mean I was commenting to some youngsters I saw and I said oh my gosh you girls have such beautiful hair and oh my goodness look at those lashes and all of them laughed and said MOLLY it's her extensions and lash extensions I was completely shocked here are 20-year-old girls who are beautiful as they are it's one thing when you get older do you wanna kind of improve your look that you see fading but at 20 it's just sad it's tragic I even look back at myself and realize how beautiful I was at that age just as I was and I see that in all of them but what's the point if you are so busy being self-conscious, but there's nowhere around us with a daily input of as you said thinking about what you care about another people and what makes you feel good and what makes other people feel good and it's that person it's the beauty of that person so keep up the good work I enjoyed the time I spent with you today
Okay, here is the truth. If you don't take care of your extensions, yes it can ruin your hair. However, if you are good and take care of it, NO it will not ruin your hair. I know a few with very thin hair and they were fine after years. Beaded extensions are less damaging than tape-in ones, and highly recommended.
What a great video! You sure haven't aged. I thought this was current, then I saw it was 2 years ago! In the long run, I don't really think anything fake is good for you - yet we all do it. Wait until you hit 60, you'll 100% not care what people think of you or how you look compared to them. 😁
Soo the title is abit misleading then as you weren’t following the aftercare which played a massive part in it . But it’s quite common for people with extensions to forget to still care for there natural hair underneath 😔 But Love the short hair on you xx
Thinking about getting human hair extensions, they last about 3 months, then I have to redo, aftercare should I be doing when I get them? I have thinner hair now because of thyroid, I don’t want to go bald 🥹
I used to legit have hair like Merida from Brave (my natural hair is v thick, big, curly and ginger) but after I wanted tape in and the c chape (or whatever they're called) extensions, my hair got rlly messed up. It was thin, ripped out a LOT of my hair, and I regret it sm. My hair finally got almost past my boobs for the first time since I was 14 (22 now), I had half black, half silver/white hair and I would wear clip in extensions. After a month or two, since my hair was so damaged and brittle on the silver/white side, the whole back section of that half broke to my shoulders and I was DEVASTATED. I had to cut my hair all back to my shoulders and I'm so upset. It legit takes YEARS to even grow 2 or 3 inches bc my hair grows rlly slow. I regret wearing my extensions so much, I should've never done it. Yes, my confidence was OUT THE ROOF, just like you said. It felt like a legit high wearing them. I finally got my hair back to a ginger rlly close to my natural red and I'm gonna leave her be. I still wear clip ins but I try to be as gentle as possible with my clip ins now.
Me too! I’m a natural ginger and completely ruined my hair with extensions and dying it blonde. I miss being ginger so much but it takes SO LONG to grow.🥲
This whole video had me crying. I just got my extensions out and I felt everything you did. And now I’m going to start a new hair journey but I was feeling so bad. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching ❤️❤️ I’m glad this helped.
I’m really nervous to take my extensions out .. I have sewn in ones. My last appointment to get them reinstalled I was just going to leave them out but I couldn’t stand looking at myself without them.. so I put them back in. I’ll have them for another 6 weeks but after that they’ll stay out. My hair is so brittle and thin. My hairdresser says that it only feels that way because I’m not used to having no extensions but I tried putting it in a bun and I have the smallest little ponytail, I wouldn’t even consider it a bun. I used to have a full head with long hair and now I’ll have to cut it shorter than it was a year ago. I looked at photos of myself from 1-3 years ago and it just makes me sad. I don’t know how to get my hair back. I definitely took my natural hair for granted
Look up some of the Christian videos about the hair extensions and weaves. Interesting at the least. Search : is wearing a weave a sin.
@Blessedbeyondmeasure23
You are serious, yes? Is it a cautionary tale warning of the perils of vanity, I wonder? I'm trying to think of the reasoning that led to that proclamation of sin... and if it being a sin for the wearer, is the person who put the extensions in a temptor- in league with Satan? Very fascinating! And if SO... would it mean condemnation for the actual hair styling profession and the manufacturers of extensions and tools as well..? I'm just trying to follow the progression here....

Thank you for sharing your experience, too. We all need more self-love ❤️ and clip ins are definitely nice for some extra volume when you want it.
Don’t worry about what people think!! You do you
Thank you for sharing your experiences with hair extensions. I was on the fence about getting them and now I know hair extensions are not for me! You are such a beautiful person
I'm sorry you went through this. You are a pretty lady. A lot of women can't pull off short hair, but you can. At least you learned something from this. We shouldn't need fake hair or fake nails to make us feel beautiful, but sadly it's the world we live in.

For real
Love that!
Thank you for this 😢 I also put a lot of my self-worth and having longer hair. My extensions were starting to hurt I was using clip ins, that I got after my hair got cut too short. It has been almost 6 months and my hair has grown a lot. I don’t get why I still feel so insecure for not having hair super long. I am washing and putting the extensions away after watching your video. I’m not gonna wear them until my friends wedding in late May. I feel like I stopped the madness just in the nick of time. Thank you for giving me my life back! And I think you are absolutely gorgeous just the way you are.
Relatable! I’ve been losing my hair for over a year now and it’s devastating. I attach my femininity to my hair length ;-(
Thank you so much for this video and your story…it truly lessens my fear. You’re gorgeous & amazing. Luv u💜
I’m glad this helped ❤️ you’re not alone!!! Thank you
Make sure to get iron and b12! Vit D as well! B12 is HUGE. Gut issues addressed etc. Xx
It took a lot of courage to make this video. You are right, no one talks about the down side of hair extensions. You look absolutely beautiful with your current beautiful, luscious locks! ❤
Thank you so much!
Omg! Thank you! I’m experiencing the same thing!! I feel so not pretty without them!! I want them out so bad!! I want to just get over it!!
I really enjoyed listening to your story and how you changed your perspective on whats important (and you're funny😅) Your hair looks beautiful and the short cut looks great💕
Thank you so much!!
So many good points!!! ❤ I’ve thought about getting extensions but after watching your video I am definitely NOT!!! Thank so much for your honesty!!! And you look great!😉
You are so welcome! And thank you! ❤️
Great video and great personality so real you are so pretty and your natural hair suits you sista 😍🥰🥰you saved me from going in to get tap in extensions, j have fine hair too red wavy and some damage because I try to straighten it, now after listening tu you I am going to leave my hair alone and embrace my natural hair and just relax let it grow. I relate to you
Thank you so much
Again your hair is beautiful and you are beautiful, so happy for you it turns out good. I have had damage happened after over processed hair 😔and I lost sleep and got so depressed, and it’s true having long hair doesn’t mean everything
Thank you for making this video! 🙏 Your new hair looks great
Thank you!! 😊
Love this! I can definitely relate to feeling insecure about hair since mine has also thinned and changed texture over the last couple years. This video was a great reminder to not sweat it too much. 💛
So glad you enjoyed this and got that message ❤️❤️
@@rachelapalmieri also your hair looks awesome!! 😍
I realize this is an older video but I think it's great that you appreciate your natural hair because you have a great head of it! I know a few people that wear extensions, and I think in both cases it's ruined their hair but they keep using them as I don't think they want to or don't know how to break away from them if that makes sense. Good video.
Thank you so much!!☺️
I was going to an hair extension appointment tomorrow…. I’ve changed my mind now ❤️
Deep down l know it will damage my hair because my hair is very thin. Better to look after what l have left
Thanks for this video
I’m glad this helped! ❤️
Same!!
Rachel, thank you for sharing your journey, I’ve literally had the worst 2 weeks of my life and some how I thought taking out my hair extensions that I had in for 2 years was appropriate to do while I was coping with a lot of emotional distress. When I took them out earlier today I felt an immediate feeling of hopelessness. I’m literally bald and have been crying since I’ve taken them out for about 6 hrs now. I have my haircut appt on Thursday and I really hope my haircut will turn out as great as yours. My only prayer is that my hair grows back. 😢
It will!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
You look amazing with your short hair. I used to have a haircut like yours and always felt confident even then. I have been on my hair extensions for almost 2 years now and planning to take a break since I’m starting to feel that it was more work and needed to come back to tighten up and all that. Also, it cost me so much money 💰 that money could go to my stocks and vacation. I didn’t feel ugly when my hair was short nor my confidence was not low either. It just feels good to have that extra volume and length as well..but at the same time same time it doesn’t feel real, need to always be cautious of brushing it so yea im removing it soon
Love the hair cut and I love the lesson or outlook that you came out of this with. Tells a lot about who you are 💖 Allie picked a good winner and I’m very grateful I found your channel! I’m turning 37 soon and much of what you said speaks to me. Keep being amazing Rachel 😘
Thank you so much 🥺 that is so sweet of you to say. I’m grateful you found my channel too 🥰
Thank you so this. I was considering extensions. I lost a lot during menopause. But I’ll pass and just try to eat better and use red light.
I had tape in for 3 weeks, lost alot of hair. Never again !!!!!! Im sick about it !! Thanks for sharing! Wish i saw this video prior 😒
❤️❤️❤️
For only 3 weeks and you lost a lot of hair? 😮
I was considering having them for two weeks to avoid losing hair.
Thank you for sharing. First time I've watched something yours and I really loved getting to know you through this story. Sending love💛
Guuuurl your hair looks gorgeous!!!! Looks really beautiful and classy !
Thank you !! ❤️
Had the same experience .Thank you you.you made me feel I am not the only one
Hi Rachel!
So agree with you about self love. It’s ALL about who you are & not what you look like. As long as a person is healthy, self acceptance of all our flaws and positive aspects is what will take us to the next level. Life is a journey of living, learning & loving. You do a fabulous job of opening your heart to share and inspire others to consider changes that will take them higher. 👏👏👏Bravo!
PS. Your hair looks gorgeous!!
Thanks Linda for your wise words and also the compliment. ❤️❤️❤️
Not gonna lie! I was shocked and I’m sorry you had a bad experience with the extensions! But girl!!!! You’re rocking that bob! You look BEAUTIFUL!!!! 🤩
Thank you so much! 😄
My sister and I are planning to add ring hair extensions for length. I'm doing some research before we do as we are unsure and dont want to ruin our hair 🥲
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I cannot imagine how you felt throughout all of this. I was sick late in 2019 and in early 2020, more than half my hair fell out. I believe from the trauma. My hair grows fast and is usually very long so it was almost "who I was" even though I wasn't super attached to it. Once it was gone, it was very very traumatic as dumb as it sounds. Girl let me tell you, THIS hair, is THE hair for you. Your jaw line, your neck, it looks so full, healthy and amazing. Your loss will grow back and it will be even fuller. Love your content and you ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing your story, too!!! ❤️❤️
I'm going through what you went through, so how long did it take until your hair grows again? @rosemarygodwin
I haven't gotten extensions, but I went through period of trying to "fix" my hair, going to different stylist, ect. It has been 4 month struggle. Your video has really help put things into perspective for me.
watched the entire video and it's very clear that *you* ruined your hair, not the extensions?
Click bait 🙄🙄🙄
Watched the whole video and missed the whole point. 😂😂😂
Thank you for the warning. My hair is already thin and somewhat a little damage. Was considering getting tape in extensions. Changed my mind...
The same thing happened to me with tape ins. I had to regrow my hair. I also have not bleached my hair too much since. I just wear clip ins i find then to be safer
Rachel, your hair looks great compared to mine after removing my Keralinks. My hair is so damaged I think I'm going to need a pixie cut and just wear a hair piece. My dog just died, my hair is a mess and I feel at a low point. I know, first world problems, but I feel so terrible.
Sending you lots of love! ❤️
@ thank you. I did end up with a pixie and my hair finally looks healthy again. Now it will grow out healthy and I just have to talk myself out of getting extensions again!
I had the same experience 😭😭😭 I had a bob and my extensions went to my butt and basically I kept them on for so long because made me feel beautiful but when I took them out I lost half of the hair on my head 😭never again !!!! Tape ins are just not good for fine hair I love clip ons from insert name here they feel so good and look natural and I only need like 4 in to make my hair look thicker
😩😩😩 ughhhhh it totally sucks!!! Thanks for your recommendation 🙂
I’ve been using easi hair pro tape ins for three years and go to a professional. It’s an expense I justify. My hair always has had volume on top and thinner at the bottom. Hair extensions haven’t changed my actual hair. What impacts my hair the most is diet, stress and vitamin D levels. Also covid was bad. I’ve actually improved my ferritin levels and my hair has finally grown. I’ve only had 2-3 extensions rip out of my head during accidental scenarios.
I've been doing tape ins at home for 2 years now and my hair is still just as full as it's always been. I think the reason that so many people experience thinning is because of the way that hairstylists go crazy with the scissors when they go to blend your real hair into the extensions to make the extensions look more "seamless". The blending that they do actually cuts off and thins so much of your real hair from the bottom while leaving your hair really thick at the top. I do mine at home so I have control over how much of my actual hair is being cut
This is actually really true! Your hair sheds everyday so it’s normal’ when they remove the extensions to see a lot of hair coming off with them because the hair that shedd off when you are wearing them gets trapped in the glue! But yes hairstylist do cut a lot of your hair to blend it with your real hair!
Thank you this was so helpful I did every extension you could think of My last one was a weave however they said two would make it look fuller Now I have a completely bald on my left side by my ear They were too heavy for my thin hair I am wearing a topper but put in combs instead of clips 🙏my left side will grow back and wear a cap because I don't think in my mind the topper looks real So I guess I'm staying in a lot Waiting for a halo so I can let me own hair a rest
I also love that you have faith in your stylist and his approach to caring for you and your hair throughout the process. I think if he had been more reactive to it, you may have felt differently as well. Kudos to him!
I’ll share that with him 😊 he is wonderful.
I had nanos for a year and I experienced the exact same thing, such a mentally hard thing to overcome once you've had them out and trying to feel confident
Did they damage your hair? Like did you lose much of your hair?
@@danaelnwhe9914 oh my gosh so badly, these aren't good for your hair, they were constantly pulling on the roots of my hair which led a lot of it to break off, my hair was half way down my back now its just below my shoulders, its so thin and damaged and takes years to fix, please don't do it, if you ever see videos of girls getting theyre extensions taken out and refitted, have a close look and the length of the natural hair when the extensions are out(mega short usually) it feels amazing at first having all that hair but your poor hair is suffering badly 💔
I just got my sew in extensions out and I'm in the FREAKING TF OUT stage 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩. I'm so mad I got them in the first place. Your new haircut looks beautiful. I just don't think short hair will suit me 😢. And I'm going on vacation soon...
Oh no! Everything will work out! This is so many years ago and I love my short hair now!!
I can relate, I just got weft extensions out too.. had them for 4 months .. 2 reinstalls .. feel lied to as they said that it would not make my hair thinner .. it definitely has and now my hair is just thin and short and I have to start again. Wish I just left my natural hair tbh.
I have naturally very thick coily curly hair, and I relate .. aaaaalways wanted thinner, straight hair, or big beach waves, and in the process ruined my hair texture.. I’ve been wearing clip ins for like 3 years at this point, and it add sooooo much confidence, but my hair is definitely thinning out and breaking off a bunch .. 😢
I’m getting my extensions removed in two days and I am getting my haircut very very short I feel better now after watching your video thank you cause I am scared 😟
This just happened to me i feel like can't go on like this but you made me feel better because i know im not the only one , should i actually cut my hair , i lost some hair , i have hair little bit falling , and i have breakage some of the hair are short please reply 😭 and thank you for sharing your journey
I know how you feel. It is DEVASTATING having hair loss... I felt so much better when I cut my hair. It felt much fuller. I'm so sorry this happened to you.
Why did I do this EXACT same thing?! 😭 currently trying to grow my hair. I have a third of the hair that she has in this video post tape-ins. It’s so hard not to run out and get new extensions! A different method of course but I know there will still be significant damage. I have clip ins that I try to use only twice a week and I am really focused on hair health. My hair is so thin and uneven that a cut would not make it better. Unless I had a pixie and I CANT. Love your bob!!! It definitely suits you! Maybe I will cut it in a year or two when it evens out enough for a shoulder bob
Yeah, 40 pieces is too much for fine hair. I just had mine done for the first time and she put in 18, they were too heavy for my hair which is thin fine hair. I had them in for 2 days and took them out myself with the remover. I could feel my natural hair ripping all throughout the day. I should have had half sandwich because my hair is baby fine and could not handle the weight. 16" and 18" my natural hair is around 16". I appreciate my hair and regret wasting money for 2 days of longer thicker hair. Minixidol and semaine vitamins are my hair support system to still achieve some more hair. I have faith.
Never, ever lose your hair dresser. He can't be duplicated and he did an absolutely prodessional job on bringing your hair back.
If only ALL of us had him, right?!!! 😊
I’m so lucky to have him!
@rachelapalmieri I think so, too!!!
It sounds like the HAIR was the issue, and likely the hair company sold you bunk bundles. It needs to be CUTICLE hair- strands are actually formed like a Christmas tree, with sheaths of keratin. PREMIUM quality hair companies collect the hair for their wefts in a way that ensures the cuticles ALLL run the same direction which avoids tangling and matting. When a cheap hair company buys bulk hair and colours it …. And the cuticles are all running in different directions from strand to strand…… it’s going to tangle matt and knot immediately…… immediately. BUY CUTICLE HAIR. It’s more expensive but …..
👏YOUR 👏 HAIR 👏IS 👏FABULOUS 👏
Wow this was a great story ! Kudos to you 😊
This recently happened to me. I'm Licensed hair stylist. I had put in tape in extensions myself, and not did not maintain them properly, it ended up getting matted at my roots so when I took the hair extensions out my entire head was one huge knot. I ended up getting it untangled at a salon and they ended up having to cut a lot of my hair off. The whole experience for me was traumatic. This video definitely makes me feel better ❤ thank you
Um YEAH. Your hair looks so good short!! 😍
Thank you! ☺️🥰
I got keratin glue hair extensions 4 months back nd after taking them out i’ve lost 60% of my natural hair! I am crying!
This is totally making want to cancel my ktip appointment 😢
I take off my keratin hair extensions after 2 months and lost half of my hair. It's a terrible feeling. You want to improve your appearance and extensions will only make it worse😞👎🏼
Tape extension are known to cause damage because once you remove the glue ,it can pull out the hair .Best to use sew in or micro beads and make sure they don't use to much hair on hair.Make sure your stylist knows about hair extensions
Really? I thought tape in was the least damage that's what I saw on UA-cam.
@@Layla-hg4ux No glue extensions are known to cause more damage.Its done by many hairdressers who don't know how to do sew in or microbeads .Or like it because it's quicker to put in then other methods.But all extensions can damage the hair.Your stylist has to make sure your hair can support the extra weight of the hair extensions and make sure you do the upkeep to stop you losing hair.
@@BettysCloset you're right! I had microbeads and sew in but removed both times after 1 month. I didn't wanna take a chance to lose more hair. Too bad I really like them! I'm gonna use clips in for now.
@@BettysCloset thanks for your response ❤️
Thank you for being such a lovely person, I allowed my hair loss to completely rule and RUIN my life.
I just got my tape ins off......and am almost bald. Thanks to the top of my head that wasn't touched, that covers the back of my head.
You look beautiful!!!! 😍
Loving this cut!! 👍🏻
Thank youuuu 😊
Love your short hair in my opinion you look younger 💁♀️🌷
Thank you! I’ve been getting that a lot!
Did you use tape ins?
You and I are so much alike!!! Wow!! You instantly inspired me!! You reached out to me!!! I wear halo extensions! No clips, no glue!! Notta thing!!! But the problem with them is I feel because I have very fine hair as well, they don’t look right! Most extensions are like Indian hair, very thick, course hair! I wished my hair was that beautiful but it’s not! I have a wavy curly hair pattern and it’s very fine like I said. Another thing with halo extensions is like all extensions they still drive me crazy. They itch and it drives me crazy, and when you want to pull your hair in a ponytail, it’s very intimidating because you have this gob of whatever sitting bunched up closes to where your ponytail is secure but the halo extension rides up and it’s annoying. It’s just so much easier and better to feel your hands running through your hair! I feel the same way though. I’m always concerned and concentrating on what and how long my hair should look because of tv, celebrities etc, your right!! Does it matter what guys or anyone thinks about your hair. I mean am I supposed to look like this or that to have someone special in my life. I have a beautiful heart and mindset. I’m caring, compassionate, strong and help others. Just like you beautiful lady!! I hope you get this and thank you for your video I came across today of you!! You have a new subscriber here!!!!!!❤
I am so happy this helped you ❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! you made me tear hearing your story. Im currently going through this now. Im ready to let go of my 2yr hair extension journey and im feeling just like you. You helped me realize that it wont matter if i cut it. Whats important is my character as a person and who i am inside. Thank u so much for sharing this
You are so welcome!
I had also! Never more extensions!!!!!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯
My hair gal always told me that so much hair comes out bc you don't do the normal "shedding" because the hair is stuck in the extension sandwich and you don't wash it as much! I think I just wanted to believe that😅 But I def think there are better ways to care for your hair with extensions!
No actually your hair gal is right! Humans shed about 100 to 200 hair a day but when you put hair extensions the shedding get stuck in the glue so when you remove them it’s normal to have a lot of hair fall! But here I think this girl just didn’t take the proper care and didn’t buy the best hair type for her hair! No shade but it’s very important to let a professional remove them and to not do it by yourself (which she didn’t do) I have been using hair extensions for 4 years now and I do remove them every three month and put them back 2 weeks after but my hair haven’t been damaged because I always buy the best hair and let the pro put them in and remove them! ❤
I
Let a pro do my hair and I only had the beaded sew in wefts for about a year and my hair was more then 50% gone. 😢. They do def take a toll on your hair
I'm unsure now about getting them x ty not risking it xx
Zala does get matted. Years ago they used to be better but they are processed. They break easy as well.
Literally me rn after taking out my itip extensions 🥺💔 thought I was going crazy trying to compare my hair before and after
Have you tried anything to grow your hair back? Currently going through it☹️
@@Slowfiaaaa my hair is healthy again!! I tried not to put heat or wash it daily!! And I’ve noticed like two inches of growth!!
Hi. Well in beauty school in 1989 a girl corn rowed my hair and super glued wefts on the rows. She said that was how you did the hair extensions and she did it a lot and very experienced. Well it’s 2022 and my hair is fianlly awesome it literally took more than 30 years to get my scalp back from the glue damage etc. i still have nightmares my hair is coming out etc it’s crazy. I did make a halo hair for when it’s really windy on the beach I can throw that on and do a side braid to protect my hair but I got done breakage as well on the top when I take it out my hair gets tangled on the wire. No more the clips and tape ins no good for me either the clips hurt , just what I’ve done to get my hair to grow fast and thick I take a dht blocker hair vitamin 3 a day and I also use bondi boost scalp spray and I take brewed coffee and spray it daily and don’t wash it out, it makes your hair really thick too, just a few tips. Your lucky your hair looks great! It looks really thick too!! And yes. I love how they look too!!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience Pam!!! ❤️
Thanks for sharing!!!
Strong hair is
Shampooed no more than nessary
Conditioner
A weekly mask
Leave in light conditioner
And hair oil daily especially winter
I love your hair this length! It fits you well!!! Also, can i ask where you got your shelving in the background? I love them!
Thank you!!! I got the shelving from Wayfair! It’s called the Cifuentes 63'' H x 60'' W Metal Library Bookcase
Micro bead is the way to go. Also dont get lazy with caring for them! ❤️ thank you for sharing your experience!
Consider yourself lucky. I lost all my hair and u can see my scalp all over now.
I'm now 67 and my hair started thinning in my early twenties. My mother had this problem so I guess it's genetic, also I suffered bulimia in my twenties which did,nt help. Over the years the condition of my hair grew much worse.
This problem really effected my mental health eventually stopped going out socially.
About 8 years ago I started wearing hair pieces, they were good but I would,nt let anyone see me without my hair piece
A few days ago I took the leap to have a mesh put in to the tune of £600 sterling!!! I absolutely hate it it's uncomfortable and after a few days it already looks like crap, can't wait to get it out.
Anyone ant tips on how I could attempt to grow back my own hair bearing in mind it's thinned a long time.
God bless❤
I ruined my hair to. Actually my scalp! I have traction alopecia in little spots from the clip ins. Never ever again!! Do the halo extensions!! There is no damage!! I wish these came out years ago
You go girl!
😘
I tried clip-on and finally sew in...it was ALOT of work! Ended with dreadlock starter kit.
Your hair looks super cute short. I like it better than your long hair.
Same! Thanks!
This video inspired me to do the big CHOP and remove my extensions. Feels so much lighter and looks more modern imo. Thanks the inspo and keep up the amazing vids!
Have to always nourish and refresh your natural hair daily/ x2
I wear clip ins and have fooled cosmetologists if it’s real or not.
Hi-Well watching you I was thinking... you have a beautiful face and hair -enjoyed your thoughts...I thought-Wow-Molly you need to start wearing some MAKEUP!!!.. You must never of had bad skin, but it took a long time for me to just get a really clear face and people complement my skin but my main way of keeping good skin has been not putting anything on except well. I only this year started putting some sunscreen but I really research the heck out of it so as much as I would love to know how to do make up the way you do with all the brushes and everything I'm wondering did you ever have trouble with your skin?... I'd love to know the brushes you use in the eye make up and I'm impressed with the fact that you teach ballroom dancing I wish you were nearby so I could take it you must be in LA cause when you mentioned the flight I'm from the Brentwood area last time I remember flies being around was I lived in LA? I live in Haverford Pennsylvania now and I don't really see flies around here the way I didn't LA maybe it's the weather.:) anyway, you're right it's always good to get some perspective as you said there's no one in my life that I would love better because they had better hair better anything to do with their parents? It's how you feel when you're with them I will say at the same time somewhere there's a balance, because I do know when I a certain amount of oh taking care of your healthy your skin and your make up and your hair does give you confidence but I think it's gone overboard I mean I was commenting to some youngsters I saw and I said oh my gosh you girls have such beautiful hair and oh my goodness look at those lashes and all of them laughed and said MOLLY it's her extensions and lash extensions I was completely shocked here are 20-year-old girls who are beautiful as they are it's one thing when you get older do you wanna kind of improve your look that you see fading but at 20 it's just sad it's tragic I even look back at myself and realize how beautiful I was at that age just as I was and I see that in all of them but what's the point if you are so busy being self-conscious, but there's nowhere around us with a daily input of as you said thinking about what you care about another people and what makes you feel good and what makes other people feel good and it's that person it's the beauty of that person so keep up the good work I enjoyed the time I spent with you today
Okay, here is the truth. If you don't take care of your extensions, yes it can ruin your hair. However, if you are good and take care of it, NO it will not ruin your hair. I know a few with very thin hair and they were fine after years. Beaded extensions are less damaging than tape-in ones, and highly recommended.
Get halo hair extensions
What a great video! You sure haven't aged. I thought this was current, then I saw it was 2 years ago! In the long run, I don't really think anything fake is good for you - yet we all do it. Wait until you hit 60, you'll 100% not care what people think of you or how you look compared to them. 😁
Better quality hair would serve you better. Good quality hair can last years. Your Bob is beautiful.
Soo the title is abit misleading then as you weren’t following the aftercare which played a massive part in it . But it’s quite common for people with extensions to forget to still care for there natural hair underneath 😔
But Love the short hair on you xx
Thinking about getting human hair extensions, they last about 3 months, then I have to redo, aftercare should I be doing when I get them? I have thinner hair now because of thyroid, I don’t want to go bald 🥹
There is no perfect people
U stunning
I love your hair now the long hair didn’t suit you as much also I think in a way you look like Monica geller from friends 😬😊
Yes it's your fault you totally abused them
people in the world have real problems and yet here you are with first world problem saying, "i can't go on". 🙄
lol your story is like mine... i lost SO MUCH hair when i removed the extensions :((( now i feel bad without extensions... its a devil circle
I used to legit have hair like Merida from Brave (my natural hair is v thick, big, curly and ginger) but after I wanted tape in and the c chape (or whatever they're called) extensions, my hair got rlly messed up. It was thin, ripped out a LOT of my hair, and I regret it sm. My hair finally got almost past my boobs for the first time since I was 14 (22 now), I had half black, half silver/white hair and I would wear clip in extensions. After a month or two, since my hair was so damaged and brittle on the silver/white side, the whole back section of that half broke to my shoulders and I was DEVASTATED. I had to cut my hair all back to my shoulders and I'm so upset. It legit takes YEARS to even grow 2 or 3 inches bc my hair grows rlly slow. I regret wearing my extensions so much, I should've never done it. Yes, my confidence was OUT THE ROOF, just like you said. It felt like a legit high wearing them. I finally got my hair back to a ginger rlly close to my natural red and I'm gonna leave her be. I still wear clip ins but I try to be as gentle as possible with my clip ins now.
Me too! I’m a natural ginger and completely ruined my hair with extensions and dying it blonde. I miss being ginger so much but it takes SO LONG to grow.🥲
Halo extensions are amazing and dont damage just fyi
