Omg why does the model look like her whole life is flashing before her eyes...she is overwhelmed by the enormity of her experiences. Don't cry queen
What a weird thing to say..
😂😂😂😂😂 she does not!
She really doesn't at all. Are you smoking crack?
I’m getting my IBE Friday. I’ve been watching ALL of the videos so that I can take the best possible care of my hair that I can
I got my IBE set 2 days ago for the very first time and I am absolutely obsessed!! I had tension alopecia from i-tip extensions 😞 After having some treatments done, my hair started growing back and I decided to get these to help me feel prettier in the mean time ❤️
Aw YESSSSSS we love hearing this
How are you growing your hair back? I have bald spots from wefts
Wow this is such a beneficial video! I wish my hairdresser had bothered with this level information. I LOVE your videos! Thank you so much
So happy this helped you!
Thank you For explaining everything so throughly! 🥰
You are so welcome!
I love her hair color!
Same! Thank you ❤️
What can we do for dry, frizzy ends? I just had mine installed a week ago. I have only washed once and the ends are dry and gross in my opinion. I use salon products, have used oils and have only applied heat once. Help!
Me too. It’s terrible
If you’re still having dramas, I find the Ghd split end therapy works really well on the ends of my hair before heat styling
We recommend using a clear oil. We just launched our high quality hair care products. Check it out www.goldielocks.com
I've had extensions for over 9 months now... and I've had the same problem... it's terrible. I also find that I get ALOT of breakage and lose length over time.... I've learnt along the way... silk is a massive help. Silk pillow case and silk turban. Also learning how to put your hair up in it... but ALL of your hair needs to be hidden under the silk or you'll get frizzy dead ends... I've been hunting high and low for a silk wrap like a microfibre hair twist... but can't....
Mine is awful!!! I feel like my hair is like straw, and I have every single product suggested to me by professionals. For what I pay for these, I would love to have shiny smooth hair. Help!!
Oh my god, your technique is so amazing, i met you by Lorrayne Mavromatis, i loved your technique so much, it is something very innovative and amazing, kisses from Brazil 💚💛🇧🇷
Wow!!! Thank you so much!!
how often should you wash your sew in extensions if you workout daily?
Very, very informative!!! Thanks so much, y’all are awesome! 💕🙌🏼
You’re so welcome, thank you for watching
What a stellar kick ass job of explaining! Thank you! I'm getting extensions tomorrow and I'm 10 percent nervous, 90 percent excited!. I'm an Esthetician so I'm familiar with hair color just from talking to co workers and school but was nervous with this because it's so costly. I've done my research of course but thanks for the stuff I didn't know! I heard the Moroccan oil is good on the extensions too. Should this be an everyday thing or only when they are washed? Also, I'm glad you mentioned not using Olaplex. Any Shampoo suggestions? Thanks gorgeous!
How exciting!! I hope it went well ☺️
What leave in conditioner/detangler do you recommend? Also what heat protectant do you recommend? I get my first ever IBE set tomorrow at 1 o’clock and could not be more excited but also nervous as I am new to the world of hand tied extensions 😬😅❤
That is so exciting! Goldie Locks has an amazing leave in conditioner and mask

Thanks for information, this video was very helpful! I’m getting microchip extensions on Friday and have been stressing about maintaining them. Any recommendations?
Glad it was helpful!
We recommend it is best to speak to your stylist about that method specifically
This is sincerely helpful. Thank you.
Thank you for watching
Hi!!!! Any recommendations for sewn in wefts for active women like myself that get their hair sweaty from cardio. I feel like I need to wash my hair/wefts every 1-2 days minimum.
Air dry after workout with brush and dry shampoo? Any other tips or suggestions to help hair as clean and well cared for?
Thankyou, loved this educational video!
Girl, you aren't kidding! My sew-ins itch, itch ITCH when I sweat. When I do yard work, boy oh boy!! I wind up washing mine every 2-3 days. My hairdresser told me to get a rat tooth comb, and gently scratch, poke at the itch with it. She also said to tap wore head where you itch. Otherwise, following suggestions!
This is exactly the question I was wanting to ask. I'm a runner and I sweat.....im so itchy.... how often can you wash and keep tip top....
Should my IBE EXTENSIONS be washed after a sweaty workout? Rinsed with water and then use conditioner? Or leave them be and use dry shampoos?
Update: had them in for 5 weeks and had them removed! Not for me. Clip-ins it is!
Thank you so much for this informative video. So it is no problem to let my hair air dry 100%? I thought it was important to use heat, but sounds in the video like it is okay not to?
We recommend drying most of the root of your extensions and then you can leave the mid length and ends to air dry!
Very informative video, thank you!!! What are some detangle sprays you would recommend? Also recommendations for oils?
The palms coconut spray is what my hairdresser recommends x
That model is stunning, great video! :-)
Isn’t she?! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
When I shampoo should I scrub my scalp like normal ? Also what about shampoo bars ! Are those safe too use ? What do you recommend as the best shampoo and conditioner! Also what will my natural hair be like .. will the extensions be a beautiful distraction as my hair actually grows ?
Hey!! You can massage your shampoo into your scalp as you typically would, you just want to make sure to really get in between the wefts. We love Kevin Murphy Hydrate for shampoo and conditioner. Your natural hair will grow out smoothly and remain healthy.
I'm from Wisconsin I'm wondering where u get these specific ones

So can I put moose on the top of my scalp to help with volume? I have finer hair.
I love this....thank you!
Thank you!
I had sewn-in wefts a month ago that were awful. Color and texture totally didn't match, she didn't blend my hair well. Disaster. Anywho, I also had olaplexed my hair (before the extensions) - and it made my actual hair fall out and break. In order to try and get my confidence back again - I am going to probably be getting IBE next week. I have a consult Friday. Since I have curly hair (VERY THING NOW, THOUGH), would you suggest getting wavy vs. straight? I wore it straight every day of my life until I had the sewn-in extensions taken out.
We are so sorry this happened! I hope your experience with IBE® was better ❤️
Wowzers!🤓
☺️☺️
I washed my extension for the first time and now they feel like horse hair. I’m trying to keep my spirit high about it. Super sad. Will they go back soft with the right product? I ordered a line off Olaplex. Shampoo conditioner leave in conditioner oil and a serum. Is this OK?
Olaplex is not good for your extensions. We would recommend shampoo and conditioner that is safe for extensions. Goldie Locks is a great option and the hydrating mask will help! ☺️
What shampoo and conditioner do you recommend?
We recommend Goldie Locks®, made with extensions in mind! goldielocks.com
I’ve heard you shouldn’t use shampoo on the actual extensions themselves and focus on your scalp/in-between. But if they feel like there’s buildup from styling products, can you shampoo them?
We do recommend you focus on the scalp and especially in between the wefts, then yes just a little amount towards the ends. Because extensions don't produce any natural oils, if you over shampoo the ends it will actually dry them out!
@@InvisibleBeadExtensions can we conditioner the ends?
Is this the same information for Russian nano rings extensions xx
I understand IBE is a method of extensions, but do you have brands of hand tied hair that you recommend?
Hey! Yes, we actually have The Reserve and Kitsune HandTied hair that we sell to IBE stylist! You can see more on our website
www.invisible bead extensions.com
so ur not suppose to use olaplex?
Can you recommend some brands or types of oils to use daily?
We are so excited we just launched Goldilocks! I highly recommend these products for hair extensions. www.goldielocks.com
Thanks for replying. The link goes to a food website.
@@Critical.Thinker Try it now
Can i use my revlon brush w these
If you are using your brush after drying 80 to 90% of your hair. Also, using a heat protectant and on lower heat
Is it okay to get them wet at the beach or the pool, even when we don't have access to a blow dryer?
Hey I'm no expert but I read that putting leave in conditioner in before swimming helps with tangles and protects the hair!
@@ameliacrisp8482 Thanks Amelia! I was bummed I didn't get a response from the creator. This is helpful!
This is exactly what I came here for too. I’m thinking about extensions. But I really love swimming for fitness and go every week
@@pareaphotography7587 I'm still bummed the creator never responded to the question. Would be helpful in the decision making
It is best to blow dry them after or avoid getting them wet if you cannot dry them. The weight of wet hair for a long period of time is not great for your scalp, even for any method. You can tie your hair in a high pony tail and then wrap your hair around into a bun with another elastic around that. Hope this helps!
What oil are you recommending

I noticed when you are brushing the top of her hair, you seem to be giving over the top wefts just like you would with regular non-extension hair? Are you able to essentially brush your hair as normal? My wife has keritin (??) extensions, but any time I try to be nice and brush her hair, it is a full on ordeal trying to avoid these numerous metal clips
Yes you can brush your natural hair as normal. The wefts are easy to divide and brush around them!
Is it safe to use purple shampoo with blonde IBE?
sherrydopwell Yes, totally safe.
I heard you can't use coconut oil is that true? And also
thank you for the video you guys are gorgeous 😍
We strongly recommend using a clear oil designed for hair extensions. And thank you for you kind comment ❤️❤️
Cat brush. Got it!
What brand of extensions do you use/recommend?
We recommend Everything HandTied!
I can’t make it three days without my hair looking like a wet mop or having my curls last. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I can’t try to wash the top of my hair only, because it’s my whole head. 😢
Oh no! What products have you tried?
Thaaaaaanks!!!
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey there so I just got 9 wefts of the loose wave installed and they looked lovely at first but now they are tangling literally INSTANTLY when they dry fully. I brush my hair twice a day with Davines oil on the ends. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I need help
Here is a couple suggestions, try using a detangler after you wash, and invest in a high quality leave in conditioner. Another solution would be to braid your hair before going to sleep. Also reach out to your stylist and express your concerns so he/she can provide additional solutions.
I want extentions but it seems like too much maintenance 😕
We find at first it can feel like a little bit more work, but you can go longer in between washing and styling because extensions hold the style longer! The routine of maintaining them with products should only be a little bit more than usual, not by much though! 😊
🌿✨ I'ma do my hair ✨
🙌🙌🙌
So is it ok to wash with Olapex shampoo and conditioner?
Mari Brazovan We don’t recommend using Olapex on hair extensions, it actually will dry them out.
@@InvisibleBeadExtensions all olaplex products? I have the hair mask and #6 leave in
Quick question- I love my extensions !!! They are amazing but I’m noticing that the color is different it got a little brassy can i use purple shampoo on them /?? I love how natural they look but the color needs a little bit of help now, not sure it its water or product that is causing the color to change??
Hey!! Ok so extensions can go brassy for a couple of reasons, are you using a clear oil? If the oil has a tint it can alter the color of your extensions. Have you recently gotten sunscreen in them? But also product makes a huge difference in keeping the tone true and lasting longer. I wouldn’t recommend a purple shampoo, I would see if your stylist can tone your hair for you and then invest in a good quality extension safe product for your hair care routine.
We just launched our hair care products that are extension safe, check out goldielocks.com
What brushes do you recommend for ibe
We love our Sam Villa brushes and the comb we use is by Kevin Murphy
How long can I keep the extensions in ?
We recommend getting a move up every 6-9 weeks.
🤦🏼♀️ I over proteined my extension. Is there anyway to fix them. I had no idea it would do that. I thought the more the better. Uhhhh these was the most exspensive ones iv ever bought.
Oh no!!!! Unfortunately there isn't a way to fix the damage on the actual hair extensions, but you have to avoid products like olaplex so it doesn't deposit too much protein and suck the extension hair dry!
@@InvisibleBeadExtensions yeah, i gave up on them and just got more... the next ones did so much better
Idk how you can see the back of your head to separate it properly it looks like you need help to maintain them with help from someone else
It can be hard to see the back of your head!
I didn’t get to see the video. Total black screen on my iPhone.
I thought it's bad to brush while wet
No, it's never bad to brush the hair while it's wet but it is important to use the correct brush and technique so you aren't stretching the extensions.
The more I brush the more hair I loss 🤦🏼♀️😭😭😭😭😭
THIS! I was always told not to brush my (actual) hair - wet or dry - as you lose hair! and I have curly hair/wavy
It could be your natural hair shedding, if it seems more than usual, see and consult with your stylist!
Do not let your extensions air dry. This is the worst advise. Do not let your extension stay wet for more than 30 mins or they swell.
We recommend letting it air dry to not start the blow drying process on sopping wet hair, like towel drying BUT you do need to blow dry the top (at the root) of your wefts to minimize the swelling in hand tied wefts. Micro wefts are made for clients who would like to let their hair air dry completely! 😉
the hair model ruined her face, yikes. so distracting
Let's not say such hurtful things especially about someone who you are assuming would've felt insecure enough about themselves to feel the need to change their appearance. If she feels more confident the way she looks now good for her, some people like that look.
