Transcript
00:00As a beauty editor, I've always been game to try anything.
00:04I've chopped my hair a bunch of times.
00:06I've donated it, grown it really long,
00:08dyed it, bleached it, all the things.
00:10But I feel most like myself when my hair is long,
00:14and so that's why I'm a little bit struggling
00:17with this awkward mid-length,
00:20and I'm really excited to try the Invisible Bead extensions.
00:27Hi, I'm Chaide Jesus.
00:29I'm a hairstylist and co-founder of Onyxon Madison,
00:33and I'm also an IBE extension specialist.
00:36I just actually got certified with IBE.
00:39I have been doing hair for 10 years,
00:42and I've never liked doing extensions until I found IBE.
00:46IBE is the only patented extensions method in the world,
00:50and I know IBE can not only give you just long hair,
00:55it will actually make your hair healthier.
00:57Hi, Sarah.
00:59Are you excited for your IBE extensions?
01:01I'm so excited.
01:02I can't wait to have long hair like you.
01:05Girl, let's do it!
01:07First, I love just taking care of everyone's scalp,
01:11so I'll spray Milbond, my favorite scalp soothing treatment.
01:16Next, I'll brush her hair out,
01:18making sure it's nice and clean, no tangles.
01:22I'll make sure all the extensions, of course, match her hair color.
01:27I will then section her hair where I am going to place my rose,
01:32and make sure the placement of the IBE extensions fit her head perfectly.
01:38I'll put the extensions when her hair is dry,
01:41but I'll constantly re-wet it,
01:44just so every little hair is not on the extensions,
01:49so the natural hair won't affect her regrowth.
01:54So I typically wear my hair long.
01:56As you can see, I'm in this sort of, in my opinion, awkward length.
02:02I cut my hair a few months ago, and I loved, you know, the short bob moment,
02:07but this in-between phase, for me, is really hard.
02:12And another thing is, I'm actually six months pregnant,
02:16so I want to feel my most beautiful self,
02:19and that's when I have long hair.
02:21I'm also getting invisible bead extensions
02:23because they are super, super healthy
02:26and will encourage my natural hair growth,
02:28and it's really just going to help
02:30to get me to my goal length
02:32without damaging what I already have.
02:34This is the only extension method
02:36that I recommend to my clients
02:38because I know it will never damage your hair.
02:42And to be honest, I have it on
02:44just to see how I feel
02:46and how it will affect my hair.
02:49And honestly, I am obsessed with it.
02:53So now, we want the extensions to look real, of course,
02:57so I'm going to cut her hair to the length that she wants
03:01and then blend it all in, just so it looks real.
03:05This is one of my favorite parts
03:07because I'm a haircutting specialist.
03:11And then after, of course, we're going to style it.
03:14I am a very big fan of the GHD Max Styler.
03:20I am obsessed with it.
03:22This is my go-to, and this is the only tool that I use
03:26that won't damage anyone's hair, especially extensions.
03:30So I really love the GHD.
03:32One of my favorite styling products is Milbond.
03:35The dry texture spray is phenomenal,
03:37especially for fine hair,
03:40and it just gives that beachy, sexy look,
03:43which is very much my vibe.
03:45And now, it's time for Sarah to see the final look.
03:53So, we are all done. What do you think?
03:55Oh, my God. It looks so good.
03:57Like, better than I expected.
03:59It feels like my hair.
04:02It feels so good.
04:04So, what do I need to know?
04:05How do I take care of my new hair?
04:07So, make sure you always dry it before you go to bed.
04:11Okay.
04:11Always put oil. Goldilocks is great.
04:14You can either braid it so it doesn't get matted.
04:17Uh-huh.
04:18So, you don't want that when you go to bed.
04:21Okay. And let's say if you want to go swimming,
04:24make sure you rinse your hair first with water.
04:28Okay.
04:28Then you can go to the pool.
04:29Sounds good.
04:30But other than that,
04:31you just take care of it
04:32like how you take care of your natural hair,
04:34but even better,
04:35because you want the hair to wax.
04:37Hey, thank you.
04:38You're welcome.
04:39It looks so good.
04:40And it feels like my own hair.
04:43It looks like it, most importantly.
04:46You don't have to style it
04:47because it just blends in your natural hair.
04:49Yeah.
04:49No exposed tracks.
04:51If you want to wear it up, you can.
04:54Thank you, Char.
04:55You're welcome.
04:56My pleasure, okay?
04:57Cool.
04:58We could cut you off,
04:58or whatever I want to call the chelぶit.
04:58Yeah, I'll take you off.
04:58We're done, but I'll take you off.
04:58I move you to make it.
04:58I hold raise your hand like this,
04:59I see you next week.
