I have extensions and people are shocked by how I wash my hair – it’s torture if I do it any other way
A HAIRDRESSER has shocked people with how she washes her hair – but assured it’s the easiest way for her to do it.
Emily Reeve has extensions in and only washes the top of her scalp when her hair is oily and she doesn’t have time to do a full wash.
The 20-year-old said: “Only my extension girlies will understand the pain of a full wash.”
She added that she has 150g of tape extensions in her hair.
Tapes are strips glued in place directly on the root of the hair and one of the most popular types of extensions on the market.
Leaning over a sink, Emily separated her hair into two sections of the top – or crown – and bottom of her scalp.
She tied the bottom half back before scrubbing the crown of her head.
Fellow extension wearers flocked to the comments to empathise with her struggle.
One penned: “The five hours it takes to hair dry, it then it turns into a massive frizz bomb.”
A second echoed: “Oh I know that pain for too long.
“After eight year of hair extensions I’ve given up and it all goes in purple shampoo now.”
A third said: “Same. I loathe hair wash day.
“Crown wash needed!”
Some people dubbed hair wash day “torture” when there are extensions involved.
Others were simply blown away by Emily’s revelation.
One woman said: “Oh my God, why have I never thought of washing my hair like this?!
“My top section is always so oily.
“I’m doing this tonight and using my purple shampoo.”
A second added: “This is so smart!
“How in all my years of extensions have I never thought of this?”
Emily’s video has amassed a whopping 1.7 million views, with almost 500 people taking to the comments to weigh in on her hack.
