    Synthetic hair is basically plastic strips so its best not to use actual human hair scissors as it will destroy the blue very quickly. I use a pair of titanium blade craft scissors for synthetic hair exclusively because it will stay sharp for longer and the blade wont get destroyed. You can also use safety razors to great effect. Also, low heat hairs like jumbo braid or expression kanekalon hairs heat style very nicely at around 270 degrees F without burning, so use flat irons and curling irons that can go down to that temperature and you can make the hair look like whatever you want. Steaming and boiled water are easier for setting it in rollers to mimic natural waves, curls and coils. The style looks great and so undetectable!

    Beautiful! I used to do this all the time, a razor comb and thinning shears makes the ends look even more natural!!! also cutting while the ends are still in a slight kinky state will help to give a less blunt finish when you do fully blow it out.

    I remember you did this look using color #2 and I tried it and got so many compliments! Then I curled it and it looked divine! This is my all time favorite go to look when I want inches! Thank you for showing us what the ombré looks like because it’s fun to have variety! Also thank you for recommending that revlon brush dryer! It’s the only thing I use on my crochet now! You’re awesome☺️

    I had quite a few questions plz:
    1) does wearing this hair hurt your actual hair in the long run? As in does it make you have loss of hair or baldspots?
    2) how difficult is it to take the crochet's off and how long does it take?
    3) where in the US are you, and do you do other people's hair?
    And finally, and definitely not least, this was Very Beautiful! Very well done! 💗

    • @KearraNicole
      @KearraNicole  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thank you! No it don't believe so. The style is very low tension and not tight at all. Its very easy to take out. You just cut the length of the hair and then just pull the knots out. I'm in NY but i dont do other people's hair 😕. Hope this helps!
