Pick up truck driver here- lol. I back into spots so it makes it easier to pull out when I leave. Cars think they can fly by us at the last second when we backup and we can't always see them when they're so low. So that's why I do it!
Totally agree...im a new Asian 5"2 woman driving a new tundra its insane. Parking is no joke, inorder for me to see the car passing behind me it's a must to back parking. But love my truck 😜🥰
I constantly back into spits in my husbands truck. The front end is so big to me it would take me 20 min to pull in to a spot or back up and not hit anyone with my front. 😞🤦♂️
The reason that your hair feels thinner is bc the extensions kept your normal hair - as in the normal amount of hair that you naturally lose in a day, didn’t fall out due to the extensions being attached to your head. You aren’t going bald, you just had so much hair (the extensions and the hair that would’ve naturally fallen out) on your head. It’s just an adjustment feeling all that hair to then having all of it out. ☺️☺️
I always thought this since every time I have extensions in A LOT fall out when they’re taken out and my hair is super thin after. Even though it is the normal amount of hair coming out I think the extensions are also weighing the hair down kind of pulling at them also making them fall out? Based on my experience anyways and the cycle of growth isn’t normal anymore since more are falling out. Idk if I’m making any sense lol but yea
Paula Miquiabas - Paula I 100% understand what you’re saying and you’re correct. I wore 20 inch keratin U-Tip Remy fusion extensions steadily from age 16 until I turned 22 last year, and I for sure have thinner hair at the root - I especially notice it on the side part of my hair that had the most tips. I’m slowly healing whatever damage I caused with castor oil on my roots and coconut oil mid-shaft to end every single night. Surprisingly, my hair is easily 8-10 inches longer now than it ever was with extensions. If anyone is experiencing what I consider mild tension alopecia (I know, it blows) castor oil has literally saved my scalp - highly recommend ladies ! And Steph, you’ve been one of my fav gurus ever since your Q&A where you let us know your ethnicity and I was so stoked to find a fellow Filipina. Damn that was years ago 😂 Anywhoo, stay gorgeous lady 😘
Briana Wood I have castor oil! But never have used it on my actual hair just lashes I’ll try it out! My hair is fine now but it’ll for sure make it better 💕
I had tape in extensions and everyone swore they wouldn’t damage my hair but I’m telling you I lost hair! I already have fine hair so I cried for months
Steph not to make matters worst but i thought u had gorgeous hair to start with so when u decided to put those extentions in i didnt think it was nescessary. Oh well lesson learned. Thanks for sharing what it can do to those who still is considering having it done.
You’ve always been so beautiful inside and out! I’ve been watching you from the beginning and now you are an inch away from a million! That is so awesome and amazing Steph and well deserved! 👏 I’ll still be here when you hit that jaw dropping mile stone! Keep rocking it!
Coconut oil treatments!! And leave it overnight, also Argon oil helps hair growth, rub it into your scalp and massage it for a few min before bed, and put some on strands to prevent breakage. This def helped me! I think you’re beautiful and you don’t need extensions! Hope this helps
I know extensions look.fake to me ..and as you get older you cant wear your hair like super long ..but to each their own I guess ..not like shes old lol.....but we all will be old some day lol
Omg girl. I just got mine out not long ago as well and I was hysterical too. I got in the car from the salon, called my bf and started balling. This was about 2 months ago. And here is my update.. my hair has grown in A LOT fuller now that I have also given my hair time to adjust and I'm starting to really love my natural hair again. It's so light and can always throw it up and not worried about anything. Your hair will start to become fuller trust me! Give it some time. Lots of love !
Hi!! Omg this is old! And this is hilarious because as I'm typing this I have my extensions back hahaah but only for extra length! I will say without them, it took about 3 months to get it back to fullness. Using a scalp scrubber and a stimulating shampoo made such a huge difference! Those 2 and necessities! @@draculena

Hey Steph! I had my extensions in for a little over a year. When I had them removed I was completely devastated because my hair felt so thin- to the point that I was crying (very dramatic). However I realized that it really wasn’t thinning- it was just the change of how it felt. When you take extensions out it seems like a lot of your hair comes out with it but it’s just the natural shedding that would have happened Day to Day. **I started using the caviar shampoo and conditioner as well as the elixir. I also took prenatal gummies ( 2 each morning). This was a total game changer for me. Hope this helps! 💞
The extensions get you SO used to having hair so when they’re gone you FEEL like it’s thinner than before but I promise those extensions are the least damaging possible! I hope it all works out but it’s definitely just in your head!
I'm glad you are taking a break from using extensions. Pantene damaged my hair & it fell out recently. I took a lot of pics of the damage. I fixed it in 3 months by: 1. Throwing away all my pantene 😤 2. Deep conditioning with Devacurl Deep Sea Strengthening Mask using a microwaved Heat Cap from Amazon ($14.95: manufacturer Tifara Beauty). I let it sit on my head for 30 min. If it gets cool I microwave the heat cap again. Then I rinse the conditioner out. 3. Next I shampoo my hair with Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Shampoo by Shea Moisture 4. Applying Tropic Isle Living Strong Roots Red Pimento Hair Growth Oil ($10.95 on Amazon) and then using the inversion method, bending over and massaging that oil in for as long as I can. After my scalp massage I blow dry and flat iron my hair. 5. Due to split ends I get a trim at the salon every 6-8 weeks. I do my hair routine every Sunday, and it has thickened up my hair. My hair has never been this thick before. I have new pictures and the side by side comparison is incredible. You can do it. Growing your hair will take time. Good luck!
Thanks for sharing your feedback on your experience & journey with your extensions! If it’s any consolation my youngest daughter had extensions years ago for 6 months. After removing them she felt her hair did get thinner through time but using her Aveda products & masks she did regain her volume & fullness. She added leave in conditioners & avoid blowing out her hair & letting it air dry as much as possible. I have faith your hair will restore itself! You’re so beautiful Steph! I love watching all your makeup & cooking videos! 🙌🏼❤️
I got extensions, both tape and beaded and was left with bald patches and had to pay a small fortune to a hair specialist to fix my hair. I was hoping this method might work on my hair.. it's extremely fine and breaks easily but think I'll give it a pass and stick to the clip extensions. Thanks for the video!
I hope you see this comment!!! I went through the same thing - had clip in then I went to tape ins for about 2 years STRAIGHT!! No breaks - I’m finally in a better “hair place.” I did a big chop and started using Olaplex. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! It works miracles!!
That happened to me with tape-in extensions. I had them in for about the same amount of time. I use Olaplex and it’s a God send. It took me about a couple of months to get my hair back to healthy. You’ll be fine!
I love this honest video about your extensions! I have psoriasis too and it sucks, but it’s just a scalp issue. You can buy expensive shampoo or treatments, but it doesn’t solve the issue 100 percent. I love you hair natural!! It is still so beautiful and longgggg 😍
I wouldn’t freak out about your hair. I had my extensions in for 2 years and took them out 4 months ago and I freaked out because I seriously thought my hair changed. It’s currently back to normal. I’m putting my extensions back in after summer is over. I use olaplex shampoo, conditioner and hair mask and it’s completely changed my hair for the better.
So I did some research on thinning hair after extensions because a friend of mine went through the same thing. Everything I read said your hair actually isn’t thinner. It’s just real. When you live with extensions for a long period of time, you start getting used to the thickness. So once they’re gone, you forget what real hair feels like. So you think it’s thinner or have bald spots but you actually don’t! Your hair is fine. Maybe find a friend who also has no extensions and just feel her scalp? Sounds weird but once you see that her head feels the same, you’ll realize your hair isn’t thin 💕
You recommended Paula's choice bha liquid to me last week and i just wanted to say thank you...i feel like the texture on my skin is already improving. It's so nice of you to really respond to your followers and to just have fun in your responses. Thanks again!
Hi Steph!!! I’m from Az and have the Habit Beauty hand tied extensions for a year now!! I’ve had them moved up 5 times through out this year. Once out yes my hair feels like I’m bald without them! It’s just the difference of how our real fair feels to permanent hair extensions and the weight it’s gives it! It’s definitely has not damaged my hair follicle but has def Improved my hair growth. Hope this gives you some peace ♥️
Unfortunately that hasn’t been the case for me! My hair has actually thinned out a ton comparing my original hair in videos and photos it’s insane! But we all have different experiences 💜🤷🏻♀️
Girl I wanna give you a hug so bad! Your natural hair still looks so bomb and I hope you just need some more time to adjust ❤️ Because I personally looove the more natural look for summer on you! Zinc helped me after pregnancy-related hair loss but I'm sure that's in your hair vitamins already. Hope someone else has a better suggestion so you can feel better soon 🥰
Stephanie, I think your hair looks fine. Nice and healthy and Its always good to take a break and change things up. Your hair is still long and as a hairdresser myself,I didn’t see any breakage or holes that you seemed concerned with. All a good sign. 🙂 Dinner looked yummy. I cook for my family but I’m starting to rethink “Hello Fresh” 😂 Everyone here is fussy so I doubt I could, but if I were single that’s the way I’d go. I also liked that Tommy got in that 5 second shot to taste the quesadillas. Looks like he approved too. Really appreciated this video.
I stopped wearing "permanent" extensions because they definitely thinned my hair out as well. I've been trying to gracefully grow it back out after having to do a huge chop, it takes so much time but it'll get there. Your hair still looks gorgeous as it is, and you can always wear your clip in wefts for special occasions here and there :)
Melonie Mac what kind of hair extensions have you tried? I had tape ins and definitely lost half my hair I couldn’t even do a braid there wasn’t enough hair. No I tried these infused extensions cause my new stylist said they’d protect my hair so we will see it’s been 6 weeks and he said I could keep them in for 6 months
My daughter has scalp psoriasis and the briogeo serum works amazing and the ordinary hair density serum is awesome for making hair thicker. Love you and your videos don’t get down on yourself you’re an amazing human 🤩
Dont feel bad steph! You're not losing hair...its just that feeling after u take off your extensions that u feel u lost a lot of hair but u aren't. Just keep on taking hair vitamins and give your hair and scalp a break from the tugging, chemicals etc...get some good chemical free hair spa love you ❤peachy
Lifted truck driver here / some trucks turn too wide to comfortably turn the front end into a parking spot. Easier to back in since the truck cuts sharper & easier to pull straight out of the spot vs trying to maneuver the front end out, especially when other cars park close. :)
Stephanie, thanks for being honest! Castor oil helped me a lot. I rubbed it into the scalp, waited about eight hours and then washed it off with shampoo. I don't like going to bed with an oil head so I didn’t leave it for the whole night. I spend a lot of time at home, so it was easy for me to apply early in the morning, wait all day and wash my hair in the evening. I'm sure, your hair will be restored!
I’ve left a message for you before. I’ve been doing hair extensions since 2002 and even my clients don’t listen to me they are addicted I have to force them to take breaks I refuse to do them. Just say No Stephanie don’t do them again and your hair will fill out Take biotin every day it’s vegan at Whole Foods And eat 7 to 8 cups of greens a day to get the required amount of potassium! You can make green smoothie and 1 large salad should do it!
I’m glad I took a break! I felt like I needed it but can’t imagine how bad it is for people who keep them in for even longer. I will def be trying that tho thank you!
@Anonymous Fashion yes but not every day. Even women with black hair need to take breaks and its just something that was never meant for Caucasian non black women and there is a reason for this. So buy some clip ins and wear them once a week or once a month for fun!
Theres no scientific evidence that biotin even works ...I actually loved her hair when she had it cut a little shorter...it looked so thick and healthy....
Don't worry Stephanie, I know how you feel. I had the same experience but with the glue in's. After getting them removed, I went to my regular salon to find out all my hair follicles were broken. I had to cut my hair in a long bob. They finally repaired themselves after much time of no coloring and regular trims. You look great and don't worry, it may take so time, but it is an adjustment and your hair will regain it's normal texture and thickness 😊
SuperRoxanne27 I don’t do videos, but if you want to heal your psoriasis once and for all, you should avoid all additives in food, it get your scalp to itch and avoid all shampoo with sodium lauryl sulfate which literally strips the scalp and use only natural shampoos. And finally after you washed your hair, use a little bit of apple cider vinegar in the last rinse with the water still running. It gives you extra shiny hair and it’s good for the scalp and psoriasis. I used to have psoriasis since I was a child, and since doing that, I have no more except when I go to the salon and they wash my hair with tradition shampoo. Wish you the best. 💆🏻♀️
I too have psoriasis on my scalp and had thinning from bleaching my hair two years ago. If you mix olive oil with peppermint oil or tea tree oil (both work) and leave it on your scalp and hair for like 15 minutes before you wash it, it will make a WORLD of a difference! Also try the Moisture Healing Mask by Nelson J Beverly Hills. It saved my hair and made it super silky. It will go back to normal in no time! ❤️
❤️ you Stephanie for keeping it real. I feel like not enough talk about hair loss. I’m two years older than you and I naturally felt my hair getting thinner and just really thought about my genetics and how I remember my moms hair thinning out. IMO it’s just natural and we have to remind ourselves of that.
Also truck owner here... we back in because you have more room from the back tires to the tailgate to sit over the curb and then you’re not sticking out front blocking traffic. 🤣
I had the exact same extensions for 6 months and my hair was very damaged and thin after taking them out. I purchased Biotin shampoo and conditioner on amazon and that helped my hair get back to normal. You have beautiful hair so don't stress too much!
You look amazing! And don't ever be sorry for your stresses. I hate when people say there are people out there going through worse things. We are all allowed to have our stresses! Don't worry about it girl and don't apologise either!
Girl I can totally relate. My extensions have changed the texture of my hair. I have thinning hair in the first place because of medications that I take. But whenever I take the extensions out, I feel that it somehow changed my natural hair.
You were just probably so used to having so much hair with them in that without them it feels so different! Your hair looks good, don’t stress! Also, now I want a marg! #forkmargs 💜
Does she not know the definition of long hair ? She should be ashamed of herself their are people who have cancer and have no hair god what a diva.....
Your hair will strengthen with time, don’t worry! Do some warm oil treatments-organic coconut oil or organic almond oil really helps with damaged hair. Leave it in for a few hours or overnight and you’ll really see a difference
I had sew in extensions for 2 years then took them out and my hair has never been more healthy. It was definitely a shock when I took them out and I thought my hair was thinner. But in reality your just so used to grabbing so much hair with the extensions. The extensions really helped my hair grow longer since I was really only putting heat on them and not my real hair. Now im happy with my hair extension free.
I loooove this! I use it on my brows too. The day I’m gonna wash my hair I slap some oil on my roots and massage it in and leave it for as long as possible.
Thanks for your honest opinion on hair extensions! Makes me think twice because my hair is thin and falls off easily, so I will stay far away from sewn in extensions ♥️ always appreciate your honest reviews on all beauty and fashion products
You are soo lucky nothing too bad happened with your hair! 5 years ago I got tape in extensions and by the time I got them out I had horrible dreads on my scalp, where my real hair met the tape ins and literally had to cut out sooo much of my hair because of them! It was awful, I lost so much hair. Extensions have to be done so perfectly and taken care of so right and even then they can mess up the best of hair! I would never get them again. Your real hair is beautiful though and so are you! 💕
If you don't have a lemon/lime squeezer (they sell them at grocery stores where the sell like can openers), use tongs to squeeze the lime. Put the lime at top? of the tongs (not on the bottom where you toss/move your food around)
I have psoriasis too, could you do a video on how u maintain extensions with psoriasis? There isn't any videos on that info and I'd like to get some too
You’ve honestly become one of my new favorite youtubers. I love how NORMAL you are and not over the top and just a real human lol thank you for that! Also! I now want quesadillas and margaritas for dinner tonight 😜
Your hair will bounce back!!! I feel like it's the same when people have lash extensions, some regular lashes come out but they grow back! It always feels like a shock though. Also, I have a hard time squeezing out enough juice from lemons or limes so what I do is cut it into multiple wedges instead of in half, and by squeezing each wedge I feel like I can get more out!
TAKE BIOTIN 10,000 MG I cannot stress this enough as to how much it helps and how long my hair has grown.... I’ve been taking them for almost 3 years every single day and my hair is so healthy... the hard part is only remembering to take them... I PROMISE YOU ❤️
Glynis R I have dry flaky patches around my nose between my eyebrows and the sides of my hairline and I used have bad red skin and when I started taking biotin I saw an improvement... the patches are still there but not as bad as before
I have been wearing extensions for many years and have tried all the methods . In my opinon, the best hands down method for hair extensions that do no, absolutely do not damage your hair at all are tape in hair extensions. I have been wearing them for 3 yrs and my hair is actually better when I put them in. Just my opinion they def. work for me.
Hi Steph! Get a big aloe leaf from the grocery store. Cut the ends off and then cut into pieces. Once you have them cut, slice them down the middle and scoop the aloe gel out. Blend it in a blender and put all over your hair. I sleep with it in my hair and then shampoo out the next morning. My hair feels thicker and helped with it thinning out due to stress.
It's all good, our hair goes through natural call out and regrowth all the time. Hair vitamins and taking care of yourself are so important, so you're on the right track. I just made an appointment for a cut and plan on chopping off about 8 inches I've been putting it off and it's time. Wish me luck!
Hi Steph!!!! I totally understand what you’re going through!! I wore extensions for 5 years! Even during pregnancy and the whole first year postpartum! I also bleached my hair the whole time! 🤦🏼♀️ talk about a hot mess when I took those things out! My hair was PAPER thin and was falling out in chunks (this was due to postpartum hormones, not the extensions) I stopped coloring my hair and didn’t use heat for 6 months! Also, take biotin and vitamin C. One year later, and my hair has never been thicker! You will be okay. I promise! 😘😘😘
Stress can make your hair thin. I’ve experienced this before and I didn’t have super thick hair to begin with. Totally get how you feel. For me, washing less, blow drying less and taking collagen worked wonders. 💕 Your hair honestly doesn’t look bad though!
melissajkxoxo I use an Herbalife produce called “beauty booster”. It’s a strawberry lemon powder you mix with water l, delicious! My nails and hair grow like crazy and it helps my thighs look less lumpy from cellulite 😍
Try castor oil, either Jamaican or Haitian castor oil and massage it into your scalp and you can leave it in over night. It helps to help your hair grow also can thicken too.
Honest opinion, your hair looks loads better. I personally think its like having gel nails it weakens them, but don't worry as worrying will eventually make your hair fall out. Just use lots of treatment and you'll get it feeling better, plus of course you need to get used to it without the extensions.
your feelings of your hair are valid. you can be upset as long as you need to. give it some time and you will find something else to worry about! thats the way it works
Biotin has made my hair grow 3 inches in 3 months. Idk about thickness but it helped it grow so maybe it can help any patches that were damaged start to grow back for you!
Had tape ins for about 9 months and half of my hair was literally gone so I feel ya . I started using castor oil as well as collagen powder by neocell and my hair has been growing really great ! I highly recommend!
I had tape in extensions in for almost 6 months. I know your extensions were different but I def felt the same after I got mine out. I felt like I lost so much hair but now that I’ve had them out for like 6 months I realized it was just me feeling the difference from having A LOT of hair with the extensions to my normal amount which is still a good amount. I didn’t actually loose any hair because of the extensions. I think you’ll feel different in a few weeks when the initial shock wears off but I do know what you’re feeling!

I drive a pretty huge truck and don’t back in ...but that’s because I suck at it 😂
I constantly back into spits in my husbands truck. The front end is so big to me it would take me 20 min to pull in to a spot or back up and not hit anyone with my front. 😞🤦♂️

Because it's easier to pull straight out of the parking space than trying to back out. It's hard to see sometimes when backing out.
You still look beautiful! I’ve heard that it can stress out your hair but once out your scalp will adapt. I appreciate your honesty
I’m glad you posted this, I’ve always wanted to get extensions but I’ve never heard about the aftermath...
Yes! I’m not sure how other people’s experience are but hoping this helps someone!

I was hoping this method might work on my hair.. it's extremely fine and breaks easily but think I'll give it a pass and stick to the clip extensions. Thanks for the video!
Omg your natural hair without extensions and no make up you look perfect 💙💙💙
Almost 1 one million subscribers! You deserve it girl! 💗
I hope you see this comment!!! I went through the same thing - had clip in then I went to tape ins for about 2 years STRAIGHT!! No breaks - I’m finally in a better “hair place.” I did a big chop and started using Olaplex. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! It works miracles!!
That happened to me with tape-in extensions. I had them in for about the same amount of time. I use Olaplex and it’s a God send. It took me about a couple of months to get my hair back to healthy. You’ll be fine!
Yes I just picked up the Olaplex #3!! Hope it helps!
Tape ins ruined my hair 😭 I really need to try olaplex
Krystyna Salinas Olaplex is a life saver ❤️❤️
I love this honest video about your extensions! I have psoriasis too and it sucks, but it’s just a scalp issue. You can buy expensive shampoo or treatments, but it doesn’t solve the issue 100 percent.
I love you hair natural!! It is still so beautiful and longgggg 😍
Awe it'll get easier about your hair 😥💕 coconut oil treatments always get my hair back to feeling healthy. Love ya girl!!
Thanks girl! Im sure ina month I’ll be feeling fine about it! Lol
I wouldn’t freak out about your hair. I had my extensions in for 2 years and took them out 4 months ago and I freaked out because I seriously thought my hair changed. It’s currently back to normal. I’m putting my extensions back in after summer is over. I use olaplex shampoo, conditioner and hair mask and it’s completely changed my hair for the better.
You should try hidden crown halo hair extensions. They are 🙌 so good!
So I did some research on thinning hair after extensions because a friend of mine went through the same thing. Everything I read said your hair actually isn’t thinner. It’s just real. When you live with extensions for a long period of time, you start getting used to the thickness. So once they’re gone, you forget what real hair feels like. So you think it’s thinner or have bald spots but you actually don’t! Your hair is fine. Maybe find a friend who also has no extensions and just feel her scalp? Sounds weird but once you see that her head feels the same, you’ll realize your hair isn’t thin 💕
Only use the clips for special occasions....don't stress your hair out further.
Good idea!!
You recommended Paula's choice bha liquid to me last week and i just wanted to say thank you...i feel like the texture on my skin is already improving. It's so nice of you to really respond to your followers and to just have fun in your responses. Thanks again!
Aw yay!! It’s one of my holy grails! Def keep with it! Thank you 🥰
I love your t-shirt and the songs you jam to! We need your playlist!
BeccaMarie Yes
BeccaMarie yes please 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Steph!!! I’m from Az and have the Habit Beauty hand tied extensions for a year now!! I’ve had them moved up 5 times through out this year. Once out yes my hair feels like I’m bald without them! It’s just the difference of how our real fair feels to permanent hair extensions and the weight it’s gives it! It’s definitely has not damaged my hair follicle but has def Improved my hair growth. Hope this gives you some peace ♥️
Unfortunately that hasn’t been the case for me! My hair has actually thinned out a ton comparing my original hair in videos and photos it’s insane! But we all have different experiences 💜🤷🏻♀️
Girl I wanna give you a hug so bad! Your natural hair still looks so bomb and I hope you just need some more time to adjust ❤️ Because I personally looove the more natural look for summer on you! Zinc helped me after pregnancy-related hair loss but I'm sure that's in your hair vitamins already. Hope someone else has a better suggestion so you can feel better soon 🥰
Yes I’ve seen zinc in a lot of the vitamins so that’s good to know! Thank you! You’re sweet!
Stephanie, I think your hair looks fine. Nice and healthy and Its always good to take a break and change things up. Your hair is still long and as a hairdresser myself,I didn’t see any breakage or holes that you seemed concerned with. All a good sign. 🙂 Dinner looked yummy. I cook for my family but I’m starting to rethink “Hello Fresh” 😂 Everyone here is fussy so I doubt I could, but if I were single that’s the way I’d go. I also liked that Tommy got in that 5 second shot to taste the quesadillas. Looks like he approved too. Really appreciated this video.
I stopped wearing "permanent" extensions because they definitely thinned my hair out as well. I've been trying to gracefully grow it back out after having to do a huge chop, it takes so much time but it'll get there. Your hair still looks gorgeous as it is, and you can always wear your clip in wefts for special occasions here and there :)
Melonie Mac what kind of hair extensions have you tried? I had tape ins and definitely lost half my hair I couldn’t even do a braid there wasn’t enough hair. No I tried these infused extensions cause my new stylist said they’d protect my hair so we will see it’s been 6 weeks and he said I could keep them in for 6 months
My daughter has scalp psoriasis and the briogeo serum works amazing and the ordinary hair density serum is awesome for making hair thicker. Love you and your videos don’t get down on yourself you’re an amazing human 🤩
Dont feel bad steph! You're not losing hair...its just that feeling after u take off your extensions that u feel u lost a lot of hair but u aren't. Just keep on taking hair vitamins and give your hair and scalp a break from the tugging, chemicals etc...get some good chemical free hair spa love you ❤peachy
Lifted truck driver here / some trucks turn too wide to comfortably turn the front end into a parking spot. Easier to back in since the truck cuts sharper & easier to pull straight out of the spot vs trying to maneuver the front end out, especially when other cars park close. :)
“this is the diced & chopped & screwed section.” OMGGGG lmao I love you 😂
Stephanie, thanks for being honest! Castor oil helped me a lot. I rubbed it into the scalp, waited about eight hours and then washed it off with shampoo. I don't like going to bed with an oil head so I didn’t leave it for the whole night. I spend a lot of time at home, so it was easy for me to apply early in the morning, wait all day and wash my hair in the evening. I'm sure, your hair will be restored!
Thank you for the suggestion
💜🙌🏼
I’ve left a message for you before. I’ve been doing hair extensions since 2002 and even my clients don’t listen to me they are addicted
I have to force them to take breaks I refuse to do them. Just say No Stephanie don’t do them again and your hair will fill out
Take biotin every day it’s vegan at Whole Foods
And eat 7 to 8 cups of greens a day to get the required amount of potassium!
You can make green smoothie and 1 large salad should do it!
I’m glad I took a break! I felt like I needed it but can’t imagine how bad it is for people who keep them in for even longer. I will def be trying that tho thank you!
@Anonymous Fashion yes but not every day. Even women with black hair need to take breaks and its just something that was never meant for Caucasian non black women and there is a reason for this. So buy some clip ins and wear them once a week or once a month for fun!
Theres no scientific evidence that biotin even works ...I actually loved her hair when she had it cut a little shorter...it looked so thick and healthy....
Don't worry Stephanie, I know how you feel. I had the same experience but with the glue in's. After getting them removed, I went to my regular salon to find out all my hair follicles were broken. I had to cut my hair in a long bob. They finally repaired themselves after much time of no coloring and regular trims. You look great and don't worry, it may take so time, but it is an adjustment and your hair will regain it's normal texture and thickness 😊
I used to have psoriasis and it stopped when I started using natural shampoos, you should try Avalon Organics shampoos, it’s very good. 💖
Can you please do a video on how you treat your hair for Psoriasis
SuperRoxanne27 I don’t do videos, but if you want to heal your psoriasis once and for all, you should avoid all additives in food, it get your scalp to itch and avoid all shampoo with sodium lauryl sulfate which literally strips the scalp and use only natural shampoos. And finally after you washed your hair, use a little bit of apple cider vinegar in the last rinse with the water still running. It gives you extra shiny hair and it’s good for the scalp and psoriasis. I used to have psoriasis since I was a child, and since doing that, I have no more except when I go to the salon and they wash my hair with tradition shampoo. Wish you the best. 💆🏻♀️
This is good information! I'm going to look into that brand, 75% of my scalp is psoriasis 🥺
I too have psoriasis on my scalp and had thinning from bleaching my hair two years ago. If you mix olive oil with peppermint oil or tea tree oil (both work) and leave it on your scalp and hair for like 15 minutes before you wash it, it will make a WORLD of a difference! Also try the Moisture Healing Mask by Nelson J Beverly Hills. It saved my hair and made it super silky. It will go back to normal in no time! ❤️
Your hair looks gorgeous with and without extensions.
❤️ you Stephanie for keeping it real. I feel like not enough talk about hair loss. I’m two years older than you and I naturally felt my hair getting thinner and just really thought about my genetics and how I remember my moms hair thinning out. IMO it’s just natural and we have to remind ourselves of that.
Also truck owner here... we back in because you have more room from the back tires to the tailgate to sit over the curb and then you’re not sticking out front blocking traffic. 🤣
I had the exact same extensions for 6 months and my hair was very damaged and thin after taking them out. I purchased Biotin shampoo and conditioner on amazon and that helped my hair get back to normal. You have beautiful hair so don't stress too much!
Use mane n tails it thickens your hair and helps grow it out!
Yes🙌 I was using it for months and stopped but just bought some a couple days ago because omg it WORKS
Is it a shampoo and or conditioner?
Lois Thompson I use both the deep conditioning one
Ana elizaveth I know. My hair was breaking so bad because I went blonde and this helped save it
@@little_cee21 Thank you! Can I buy it at Target and or Walmart?
Your hair is so perfect! Literally if I had your hair I would never get extensions or want them you’re blessed with good hair
Your natural hair looks soo nice! I was cracking up at the hair extension on the debit card!
🙈😂😂
You look amazing! And don't ever be sorry for your stresses. I hate when people say there are people out there going through worse things. We are all allowed to have our stresses! Don't worry about it girl and don't apologise either!
True!!
You are gorgeous and your hair looks gorgeous as always!
Girl I can totally relate. My extensions have changed the texture of my hair. I have thinning hair in the first place because of medications that I take. But whenever I take the extensions out, I feel that it somehow changed my natural hair.
You were just probably so used to having so much hair with them in that without them it feels so different! Your hair looks good, don’t stress! Also, now I want a marg! #forkmargs 💜
Does she not know the definition of long hair ? She should be ashamed of herself their are people who have cancer and have no hair god what a diva.....
Your hair will strengthen with time, don’t worry! Do some warm oil treatments-organic coconut oil or organic almond oil really helps with damaged hair. Leave it in for a few hours or overnight and you’ll really see a difference
honestly your hair was amazing and I was shocked when you added the extensions bcs you didn't really need it !
See where being so vain get you ....awww to.bad for her it does look thin and stringy
@@leighannmcgowan5239 it doesn’t even look thin or stringy . Jealous much !
I had sew in extensions for 2 years then took them out and my hair has never been more healthy. It was definitely a shock when I took them out and I thought my hair was thinner. But in reality your just so used to grabbing so much hair with the extensions. The extensions really helped my hair grow longer since I was really only putting heat on them and not my real hair. Now im happy with my hair extension free.
Use caster oil it thickens and grows hair i swear by it !!!
Lexi Audette how do you use it? Like what’s your routine with it?
I see that it’s an ingredient in a lot of hair serums so I will have to look into ! 😊
I loooove this! I use it on my brows too. The day I’m gonna wash my hair I slap some oil on my roots and massage it in and leave it for as long as possible.
@Chinziia S Many real people have tried it on UA-cam and online and it does work for many. Plus it's not harmful to try.
it grows eyelashes and eyebrows
Thanks for your honest opinion on hair extensions! Makes me think twice because my hair is thin and falls off easily, so I will stay far away from sewn in extensions ♥️ always appreciate your honest reviews on all beauty and fashion products
Roll the uncut lime on the counter before cutting it open, and you'll get so much more juice and it wont be so tough to squeeze :)
You are soo lucky nothing too bad happened with your hair! 5 years ago I got tape in extensions and by the time I got them out I had horrible dreads on my scalp, where my real hair met the tape ins and literally had to cut out sooo much of my hair because of them! It was awful, I lost so much hair. Extensions have to be done so perfectly and taken care of so right and even then they can mess up the best of hair! I would never get them again. Your real hair is beautiful though and so are you! 💕
Lmaooo why did u have to pause when his face was like that though 🤣🤣🤣 it was so funny!!!
Lmao it seemed like the only time he will never watch it 😂🤷🏻♀️
I appreciate your honesty bc I understand how that can affect maybe your self esteem, but it’s okay Your hair will grow back!
Love this video! Your hair looks great without the extensions. 😌
If you don't have a lemon/lime squeezer (they sell them at grocery stores where the sell like can openers), use tongs to squeeze the lime. Put the lime at top? of the tongs (not on the bottom where you toss/move your food around)
I have psoriasis too, could you do a video on how u maintain extensions with psoriasis? There isn't any videos on that info and I'd like to get some too
She just finished telling us she thinks they ruined her hair and now you want extensions?????
@@loisthompson5625 everyone's experience is different and it ain't your hair
I didn’t do anything differently than I did without the extensions. Honestly I think diet and using the right shampoos will help most!
You’ve honestly become one of my new favorite youtubers. I love how NORMAL you are and not over the top and just a real human lol thank you for that! Also! I now want quesadillas and margaritas for dinner tonight 😜
Aw thanks girl!!
Yay! Hi Tommy! Watching you drink margs is making me crave one (or 5) so badly 😩
Your hair will bounce back!!! I feel like it's the same when people have lash extensions, some regular lashes come out but they grow back! It always feels like a shock though. Also, I have a hard time squeezing out enough juice from lemons or limes so what I do is cut it into multiple wedges instead of in half, and by squeezing each wedge I feel like I can get more out!
TAKE BIOTIN 10,000 MG I cannot stress this enough as to how much it helps and how long my hair has grown.... I’ve been taking them for almost 3 years every single day and my hair is so healthy... the hard part is only remembering to take them... I PROMISE YOU ❤️
Do you have psoriasis?
Glynis R I have dry flaky patches around my nose between my eyebrows and the sides of my hairline and I used have bad red skin and when I started taking biotin I saw an improvement... the patches are still there but not as bad as before
@@ayepes2009 Hi Adriana thanks very much for your information. Psoriasis is one horrible disease. Sending you love from South Africa, Cape Town 🇿🇦💖
@@ayepes2009 the other thing which helps for dryness on my face is "The Ordinary" AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling solution.
Glynis R 😁❤️ hello and peace and love from Miami Florida!
You are so transparent...i admire you! ❤ your videos!
It looks thinner but you still beautiful 😊 just concentrate in nourishing your hair & don’t put any attachment on it at all 👍🏼🙂
I have been wearing extensions for many years and have tried all the methods . In my opinon, the best hands down method for hair extensions that do no, absolutely do not damage your hair at all are tape in hair extensions. I have been wearing them for 3 yrs and my hair is actually better when I put them in. Just my opinion they def. work for me.
Omg you are so beautiful without make up 😍 absolutely stunning girl!! Great video!! Your hair looks gorgeous!! 💖🥰 love from Ireland 🇮🇪🍀xxxx
Your natural hair looks great!
Omg the men in trucks backing up is SUCH a thing!
Hi Steph! Get a big aloe leaf from the grocery store. Cut the ends off and then cut into pieces. Once you have them cut, slice them down the middle and scoop the aloe gel out. Blend it in a blender and put all over your hair. I sleep with it in my hair and then shampoo out the next morning. My hair feels thicker and helped with it thinning out due to stress.
I have psoriasis on my scalp too I feel your pain.
Take Biotin! I lost a lot of hair after I had my baby. I noticed results in about 2 months! I get biotin at Target 2500 mcg. Hope this helps!
I love your vlogs and makeup tutorials♥️♥️
Thank you!!
It's all good, our hair goes through natural call out and regrowth all the time. Hair vitamins and taking care of yourself are so important, so you're on the right track. I just made an appointment for a cut and plan on chopping off about 8 inches I've been putting it off and it's time. Wish me luck!
OMG fall out, not call out
*Hello Fresh Chef Steph. Say that 3 times fast. 🤭 lol 🤣*
*Diced chopped and screwed. DJ Chef Steph on the ones and twos. 😂 too funny!*
😂😂
Your hair is always gorgeous with or without extensions! You look every bit as beautiful without them!
The chicken pineapple quesadillas are one of my favorites!!
So good! Can’t believe I never tried them!
Absolutely the best. I love them
Hi Steph!!!! I totally understand what you’re going through!! I wore extensions for 5 years! Even during pregnancy and the whole first year postpartum! I also bleached my hair the whole time! 🤦🏼♀️ talk about a hot mess when I took those things out! My hair was PAPER thin and was falling out in chunks (this was due to postpartum hormones, not the extensions) I stopped coloring my hair and didn’t use heat for 6 months! Also, take biotin and vitamin C. One year later, and my hair has never been thicker! You will be okay. I promise! 😘😘😘
Ugh that’s awful! But glad to hear it came back for you! Def going to baby it all summer!
You don't even need hair extensions in your hair. Leave your hair alone, it's beautiful as is.
Stress can make your hair thin. I’ve experienced this before and I didn’t have super thick hair to begin with. Totally get how you feel. For me, washing less, blow drying less and taking collagen worked wonders. 💕 Your hair honestly doesn’t look bad though!
What collagen do you take? Just bought jeunora and it's kinda expensive but I got 2 months worth
melissajkxoxo I use an Herbalife produce called “beauty booster”. It’s a strawberry lemon powder you mix with water l, delicious! My nails and hair grow like crazy and it helps my thighs look less lumpy from cellulite 😍
Nice to see Tommy in the vlogs! Yay for the tequila for the Margaritas! 🎉
Try castor oil, either Jamaican or Haitian castor oil and massage it into your scalp and you can leave it in over night. It helps to help your hair grow also can thicken too.
Hopefully I'm not disgracing anyone's culture here. Lol. You crack me up.
Honest opinion, your hair looks loads better. I personally think its like having gel nails it weakens them, but don't worry as worrying will eventually make your hair fall out. Just use lots of treatment and you'll get it feeling better, plus of course you need to get used to it without the extensions.
Loveee you love this video allready!! 😍😍😍😍💞
your feelings of your hair are valid. you can be upset as long as you need to. give it some time and you will find something else to worry about! thats the way it works
Try the Olly women’s multivitamin, game changer, my hair won’t stop growing!
Biotin has made my hair grow 3 inches in 3 months. Idk about thickness but it helped it grow so maybe it can help any patches that were damaged start to grow back for you!
Roll your lime hard on the counter before you cut it 👍🏼
Randi Huckabee And your lemons 🍋 too!
Had tape ins for about 9 months and half of my hair was literally gone so I feel ya . I started using castor oil as well as collagen powder by neocell and my hair has been growing really great ! I highly recommend!
Inspiring me to cook, but I can't part with my extensions yet lol. Hair looks great tho!!!
I had tape in extensions in for almost 6 months. I know your extensions were different but I def felt the same after I got mine out. I felt like I lost so much hair but now that I’ve had them out for like 6 months I realized it was just me feeling the difference from having A LOT of hair with the extensions to my normal amount which is still a good amount. I didn’t actually loose any hair because of the extensions. I think you’ll feel different in a few weeks when the initial shock wears off but I do know what you’re feeling!
