@@oceans4739 sure did! When I flip up the first “half” the adhesive on it holds on to a layer of my hair that I then place the second half on top of. Make sense?
I am a licensed cosmetologist here in California and I find it absolutely necessary to tell you that your DIY video has taught me more in one viewing than any professional video or industry video I have watched! I love the confident way that you give instruction and how honest-to-God easy it becomes with your step by step instruction. Thank you thank you thank you!!
What a wonderful comment to wake up to! Especially when it’s “y’all” that made me most terrified to post this 😂 I really appreciate the time you took to leave this positive message. Thank you ❤️
I loved this too and have paid big money for hotheads but what I found out was the tape loved my hair like a lot! And the extension would separate from the tape and no amount of oils or remover got the tape out easily it was awful. Anyone else ever had that happen or offer up better extension ideas ?
Yea she really heloed so much need i say thats the problem in the salons they want you to think it's so hard that you can't do it yourself and need to spend a grand to put them in ( my personal experience) I will never go back to a salon now that I found my own groove and do them hate to say it ( even better then the salon did ) . .. thank you girly for showing other women they can do it themselves and smash it !!!! ❤
I’ve been wearing tape in extensions since 2011. My stylist did them for until 2017 when I moved. My usual routine with her took 3-4 hours. This was her removing, coloring my own hair, cleaning and applying new tape to the extensions while my color processed, reapplying the extensions and styling. She became a dear friend and we both looked forward to my appointments which, of course, added to the time my appointments lasted. When I moved out of state I tried to find a new stylist but, I was blown away by what they were going to charge me. Plus, they would not use extensions that I would bring in, they would only use what they ordered and insisted on a new set each time. So, I’ve been doing my own since 2017. I buy my extensions and tape from Sally’s. I take an evening and a morning to do my hair. I start by removing the extensions the night before. The next day I start by coloring my hair and giving it a long wash, really giving the roots and scalp a good scrub. I do not use any conditioner. Then I put my extensions in almost exactly how you do yours, only I start at the bottom and work my way up. As long as I take my time and rush myself, they’ll be good for 8-10 weeks. I might have to retape one from time to time but that just takes a few minutes. I use 22” and 18” to give the layers and volume I want. I love my extensions!! They give me the hair I dreamed of having when I was a teenager. I haven’t been able to wear them for over a year now. In 2019 I was diagnosed with stage four cancer. I’m in remission now and I never lost my hair but the treatment did change the texture of my hair and gave it a very funny feel and I just couldn’t get the tape to stick. I started taking biotin with coconut oil and my hair has actually grown out almost to the length of the extensions. I still miss them though and I’m thinking of putting them back in soon. They gave me confidence and I could use some of that now. Great video!!!! I wouldn’t change a thing!!! ☺️
Thank you! And thank you for sharing your story! There’s just something about a glorious head of hair that can make me feel so much better. I’m glad to know I’m not alone. I’d love to see you on my page on Facebook! Your kind of story sharing is exactly the kind of thing that fits well with my group!
Awww God Bless you with his healing power in Jesus Name 🙏🏿♥️✝️ and thanks 😊 for your great tips too! It will be my first time trying it at home! Praying 🙏🏿 for you Ms. T.
@@lawandalh2387 Sally’s sells an adhesive remover that I use. A few drops on a cotton ball or cloth dabbed on the tape end of the extensions helps them slip right off. Stubborn ones might take more than a dab. Wash your hair well and don’t use conditioner before putting them or new ones back in.
Credit where Credit is due lovely lady! - I have attempted to put in tape in extensions 3 times over the last fortnight only to crack it and give up every time. Today i followed this tutorial and saved myself $130 for my hairdresser doing it. Bless your cotton socks, i cannot thank you enough xx
You rock for leaving this comment because It totally just made my day! I’m so glad it worked for you! I tried a million ways at first, too! This was by far the easiest for me! I hope they wear well for you!
I'm a stylist in Ohio and found this video accidentally and can I say you were awesome and very informative a great teacher. Im inspired keep doing what your doing♥️♥️
For whatever reason, being told I’m a “great teacher” is received as one of the best compliments I could get. Thank you, so very much! It means a lot coming from someone with knowledge 💗💗
I’m a licensed cosmetologist and I hate bothering people at work to put my hair extensions on thank you I’m going to do it myself you’re awesome incredible teacher🙌🙌
Awesome video !! Only thing I learned being raised by a hairstylist that I noticed you don't do, between each layers/row of extensions, leave a layer of hair with no extensions, way more comfy and less chances to have mini matte going on between each extrnsions! But I love your method and I'm going to try it tonight :)
This is such a great video! I’m licensed and first had extensions done by a hairdresser friend. After only two fill appointments, I had to move away. Not wanting to fork over the $1500 at a salon in my new city (not that it’s not worth it…hairdressers absolutely deserve that for their time and expertise, just not an amount I could cough up every 6 weeks) and with my license, I’m able to buy the same brand that I started with. I started doing them myself…bottom-up, since that’s how my friend did it. But this looks so much easier when you’re working on yourself. I’ll be trying this when I do my next fill. Just want to park a little tip here too, in case anyone is like me-and can’t get anything through my hair without conditioner from roots to ends. A shampoo and conditioner without sulfate and sodium/salt, will allow full conditioning without losing too much stickiness on your adhesive tabs. My favorite is Paul Mitchel awapuhi wild ginger moisturizing lather shampoo and keratin cream rinse. Recommended by the friend who does extensions professionally. And a plus, for me is, since I had my first set installed right before a vacay, and washed for the first time at the resort, this shampoo and conditioner reminds me of vacation every time I use it 😉 Thanks for the great video…your instruction is detailed and easy to follow ❤
I just did my very first tape in extensions and thanks to you is a success!!! Everything you said it's true! Starting with the most difficult part of the process is the initial division of the hair. Why do others make it soooooo complicated! I'm looking forward to healthier hair while looking good and of course will search for your how to take them down in about six weeks. You saved me TONS OF $$$$$ THANK YOU!! ❤
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you coming back and telling me this! 💗💗💗. Come find my FB group (its in the description above). I’d love to have you there!
This is the best DIY on tape ins that I have seen. Thank you!! I always get caught up in the "tape sandwich" process but doing the top part first seems a lot easier
please come find me on Facebook!!!! I see all these kind comments but never get to see your hair!!!! I have an amazing beauty group there with over 1,200 incredible women! facebook.com/groups/255254002155503/
Hi. I am wanting to do my own tape in's. You say you get yours on Amazon. How did you know what colour to purchase without physically seeing them first.? I worry that I will purchase the wrong colour and it will be a complete waste of money before I've even started.
I've been using extensions for about three years and I have never tried the method you just showed. Now I can't wait to try it, next time I put them back. Thank you!
You are ADORABLE!!! I just ordered two packages and I am very excited to try them for my first time. I will definitely watch this video again completely before I begin. Thank you for being so informative much more than a lot of the other videos I have watched. I think I’m actually brave enough to try it now cannot thank you enough!!!!! 😘
I'm about to try my hand at tape ins today, and this is the only video I made it all the way through. So informative and gave me the confidence to try it out myself!
Ah!!!! Good luck!!! I hope it goes well for you! The first couple days you’ll REALLY notice them at night but I promise you get used to that fast! Thank you for the kind comment!
The most helpful video I've watched so far, to the point, without drowning out the vowels in the last word of every sentence. 🤦♀️ Nails on a chalk board. Thank you!
I have been doing my own tape in hair extensions for only about a year now. Your video waa the easiest I have ever done it and it looks the best it's ever looked ❤️❤️ thank you so much
SO glad I watched this before trying a first DIY install. Other videos had great hacks but started working at the nape; with your method, the first row is the easiest to place instead of the hardest. You instantly see the extensions’ color and position, mistakes are easier to fix. Thanks for a huge help.
Ok so back in April I got tape ins at a salon it was my first time and I thought I had done enough research but I was way wrong. I paid $600 for 3 packs I’d hair which is absolutely a lot and I would normally never pay for but my hair is soooo thin and I was in a wedding so I used my stimulus. Couldn’t get an appointment until 2 days before the wedding and was told $250 to get them in and paid $375. They used all 3 packs and it was just way to much for me and my thin hair because yes you could see them once my hair grew out. However, when you go from like no hair to 3 packs of hair it’s a total self esteem builder. I was told it would be close to $450 to get them back in. No way I could afford that, getting them out was an ordeal in itself and then to not have long think hair was heartbreaking, but then I saw your video so yesterday was my first attempt at doing them myself. Yes I had a few minor issues but that was from inexperience but I will never pay for a salon to do them again. I know I’ll will get better with time and I’m honestly happier with the way I put them in with your help, and I can actually put my hair up. You seriously will never understand how much this video has helped me . Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Wow! Thank you for this because it’s nice to know it HELPED someone! I’m so glad because I 💯 am like you, where a good bit of my confidence comes from a great head of hair. Silly to some, I’m sure, but it is what it is! I did a video on removal too. Hopefully you’ll find some ways there to make them come out easier AND be able to reuse them. Good luck!
A woman's hair is her crown, what a lovely way that you are helping so many women out there in need, or that just want to feel great about themselves, may karma bless you in many ways, 💯🌼
Hi Brooke, again I want to thank you for your great video on tips when installing tape extensions. After watching these dozens of times, I placed a full head with tape extensions on myself. Your tips have helped me a lot with this. The result is astonishing. Have a nice weekend to you and your family. Love from Belgium, Suzanne
Hello!!!! So glad you came back to report! I’m thrilled it worked well for you!!! Come on over to my Facebook Group! I’m a lot more active over there and I really think you’d like it, PLUS…. I’m certain you’d be the first from Belgium in my group 💗
Best DIY tape in extension video I have watched and I have watched a lot. Love how you start from the top instead of bottom. So much easier. Thank you!!!
I love this video! It’s the best DIY tape in video I’ve seen. I usually have mine professionally done, and during the stay at home order I attempted to do it myself. Wish I had seen this video then, my results would have been a lot better and the process much easier.
From one lover of long hair-(who had the "Warlock" method done in the New Orleans salon for years$$$) to another-excellent video! I used to use a low-temp glue gun, light-brown glue sticks and methodically apply the extensions myself. Took me about 6-8 hours and soo tedious, but the results were so good. But now that I know we can do these ourselves-I will never go back to doing it that old way. I can NOT WAIT to try this! Thank you for providing every little tid-bit of info needed to make an informed decision. Yes!
I wish I had a different way of thanking each one of you who takes the time to comment so nicely! THANK YOU! YT was TERRIFYING to this old lady and women like you have worked hard to prove me wrong.
This was the second video I found with tape in extensions and let me tell you, it's the only one I need. You are amazing and I am so grateful that I found this, thank you so much!
I’m considering extensions for the first time and your video offered excellent guidance in helping me decide. Thanks for a very informative and honest portrayal of the application and process. You’re very personable which makes for an ultra enjoyable viewing experience.
Personable; one of the best compliments I think I’ve been given in here. Thank you! Good luck with your extensions!!!! Consider checking out my Facebook group! It’s a great place with a whole bunch of positive women! facebook.com/groups/255254002155503/
You’re a genius!!! My biggest problem was figuring out how much hair to sandwich in between. This method is so easy 😍 Thank you for all the tips! I am a mortician and have to wear my hair up and it gets yanked on by the respirator, so your tip on the diagonal placement of the lower tapes is life changing! THANK YOU 🙏🏻🤍💫☺️🤩
I have been doing my tape ins for about a year now an always started at the bottom. I followed your instructions for a change and it was so much easier! Thank you, i will be doing it this way from now on! 😊
I had a falling out with the cosmetologist who purchased and installed my first set of extensions, and I attempted to do my second round by myself. I wish I had seen this video before that. 😅 Thank you so much for this! I anticipate it getting easier and easier moving forward.
I have watched dozens of videos all pretty good, but your perspective of diying hit me the best. Parting off your own hair is hard. I'm licensed and I still have to be careful when sectioning my hair. Your updoing each section.....perfect for diy. I just paid aboue 500.00 for hair....it hasn't come in mail yet, but I'm anxious to see how it is. Ive done clip ins...not sure they are for me. I felt like I had a helmet on, so tape ins are my next effort. THanks for taking time to do this.....really good.
Thank you for the information in your video. It’s exactly what I was looking for! My hair has been thinning for years now and I just ordered my first set of tape in extensions and I had no idea how to put them in. I think now after watching your video I am ready to try it. So thank you!!!!!!!
I would kill for a “Widows Peak” like yours…I have coveted one my entire life❤❤❤❤❤I just LOVE how they look and give your (or anyone with one) that little ‘extra’ !!!! ❤❤❤❤
Ah…. My widows peak! Would you laugh if you knew it made me so self conscious when I was young!!!? I never understood why I was the only one with the “Dracula” “v” 😂😂
I used your method last night , thank gawd I found your video!!! Super helpful my first time applying myself and wow! Best method for sure I was gonna do it totally different, this saves me time and many cuss words lol !
You are the VERY FIRST PERSON to report back after almost 2 years of this video being up and I am SO HAPPY to hear it actually worked for someone! Thank you so much for taking the time to come back!
@@BrookieRush I will use the method every time now , it made the whole process so much easier! I’ll be sure to check out your other videos, thanks again🕉☮️☯️
Wow!! You did a great job explaining exactly how to install the extensions!! Best video I've seen so far and I've been watching many videos! I'm so happy to have found your channel. I will be definitely giving this a try very soon. I am going to have to sort out how to remove them once they're installed. I don't think you mentioned it. But maybe someone has a video about the removal process. Thank you so much! Your hair is gorgeous!!
Thank you so much! I’m excited for you to try! Check the description box and linked here at the top of the comments is the link to the tips on taking them out! It takes patience and by far is the worst part of having them but I always found that part worth it! Good luck!
Thanks, your video was just what I needed and far more useful than the other thousands I have watched. And Ps - not only are your hair extensions gorgeous, but you are absolutely stunning as well! Just had to say it! Thanks for the video hun!
So I have had my extensions professionally done and iv tried always to do them myself and watched video after video your by far has been the best I love the way you do this !! Im doing ije today and I feel so much more confident in doing them !!! Thank you
I totally would but I have grown my hair so much and it's so much thicker than it used to be that I don't have to use extensions anymore! They do sell remover, but I hated it. The remover made them much more of a pain when you go to reuse them. I usually used melted (but cool) coconut oil and massaged it into my scalp and waited about an hour. Then just pry apart! I hope that helps!
Also they sell stuff that sprays in to take out taped or cold fusion extentions, ask a stylist at a salon (act like ur interested in having it done & ur worried, then she will tell u what it's called lol I forget! It might be on the Dream Catcher extension site.
Can't wait to try my tape in extentions now! I've had them for what seems like forever and had just been scared to put them in myself. Ever since watching this I have built up my confidence in the process. Here I go, wish me luck! :)
Amazing video ! I’m so excited to try now ! Love the layers with various lengths; that’s kind of what I was thinking too. Thanks for doing this and sharing !
Just tried doing myself a few where hair broke off from a motorcycle wreck 6 mo ago.i had long hair but lost alot when that happened due to injury.finallhave a little to work with on that side. Tried them but color didn't match good enough. Glad my color comes this week. Also a cosmetologist and barber yrs ago. I have saved thousands over30 yrs doing my own everything. Anyway after viewing your video now I see how I did it was not working as well. Gonna try this way. Thank you sooooo much
Do you have any idea how much easier you just made my life!! With me being new to the world of extensions because of chemical burn/breakage to my own (used to be!) waist length hair, now at my jaw line...I LOVE YOU!! And I'm pretty sure you just literally saved my fiance's life as well!! Lol So, THANK YOU LIFESAVER!!💋
Thank so much options I've been doing my extensions by myself and been trying to find the perfect video for good example to see if I'm doing everything right and so far so good I was but I was missing a few littl examples here and you gave them to me so now this shows me to do a little bit better on my extensions on my own this helped so much thank you so much appreciated.❤️
I ordered mine a week ago and I’ve been dying to do them and haven’t been able to find anyone to help me I watched 1 million videos but yours is the first one that I’ve come across and found your technique that would actually work doing it yourself I’m going to do them tonight and I’ll let you know how it turns out I only want it for length and I got two packs of 50 g each 20 pieces each I hope that’ll be enough how many packs did you use
If I remember I used about 2.5 packs BUT if you’re just needing length you can probably get away with 2 easily! I’m so happy you think this’ll work for you! Tip for a first timer: make sure you leave a little space between the tape and your scalp instead of right up at the root! You want to be able to comfortably “flip” them up and down (like if you were pulling your hair up in a pony tail). If you put them too close to the root they are painful to flip until they grow out a bit. Good luck!
Bless you! I bought tape ins I've put them in twice following the professional placement patterns and I hate it. I have very thin fine hair and I could see them when I pulled my hair up. This week sometime I'm going to color my hair and the extensions put new tapes on them and do what you did here. Pray for me lol thank you for this video.
@@mermaidglow6998 I got everything in and I have to say i love this so much more. Its comfortable and looks good, I cant see any of the tapes with my hair up or when it's down. just need to go get a hair cut to get everything blended together. I say this is a win!
It is almost 1am and I just finished with my tapes watching your video and thanks to you I did it well!! You motivated me and gave me confidence to do it myself😊😚 Thanks a lot!
@@Rousalka1 well you are the very first person I’ve ever met from Belgium! How nice to meet you! You should look up my group on Facebook! I’d love to have you there! It’s called MakeupB-rush
This is the best video for DIY hair extensions! Thank you, thank you! I am just about to buy my first set and I was going to get Full Shine. I also wondered about layering different lengths, so thanks for showing how to do that! And I loved the video "meltdowns"! Too funny
I just watched your video on your personal story of your dealings with imposter syndrome. All I can say is thank you. I've struggled with it as well, and self-diagnosed myself with it after doing my own research on why I don't feel good about myself despite the amazing accomplishments in my life. As a high-level professional in a competitive field, and with no college degree, I have consistently doubted my worthiness and my talent over the years, and as a single mama, always waiting for my life to crash down around me when people figure out that I'm not "all that." But here's the deal. Every single day I show up in my life and at my job and for myself and my kids, and I go out and kill it. It's taken me years to feel as though I actually deserve the job/career I have, and at 55 years old, I finally feel like I deserve it as much as anyone who has worked as hard as I have to get where I am. As far as politics, I feel exactly as you do, and I am no longer ashamed to admit it. Thank you for being you. Thank you for sharing this situation in your life that I would never myself dare speak about to anyone for fear of judgment. You are brave, you are real, and you are amazing. And I am at a point in my life where I can recognize that in you, because I also recognize it in myself. Much love and many blessings to you, fabulous girl❤️❤️❤️
@@angel-mq2mo it’s brave of you to even admit it here. 💗 Thank you for this. Even though you’re a stranger, I’m proud. Imposter Syndrome is something I battle every day but now that I identified it, like you, it’s a battle I win.
Great video. The only tips I'd add are to use a pin comb to make the hair partings cleaner plus leave a thin layer of hair out between each row of extensions.
You are so stunning. Love your hair. You did an amazing job applying those hair extensions. They look like your own hair. Also love your hair colour it’s gorgeous 💖💖💖
Your meltdowns are hilarious 🤣 I feel connected to you 🤗 And yes, good job on the tapes. I prefer I tips, but when I put tape ends on myself it takes me 2 to 3 hours lol. You for sure have a tried and true method!
Great video! I have everything I need; going to tone a weft of platinum blonde to match mine. My hair is over processed, over bleached until it started breaking off in the back. (My bad-overlapped and didn’t time it. I know better!) I found something called K18, which actually stopped all Hair breakage and my bleached hair now feels like it did BEFORE I ruined it! It’s amazing stuff-better than Olaplex. Anyway, I’m getting ready to see if I can apply some tape ins, then use a halo extension to gather volume…will keep you posted. I LOVE your technique.
@@BrookieRush K18 is every woman’s best friend! It is state-of-the-art technology at its best to save your hair from all the mistakes one can make when we, who are not trained cosmetologists, like to play, “Hairdresser !“ You can get it on Amazon, Ulta, Sephora, etc. It’s been sold-out everywhere but finally my BF snagged some at the mall. I bleached my hair WHITE. It was an accident, but still had to fix it. I found K18; wash your hair and get it good and clean. Use NO CONDITIONER, lightly towel dry. Then use a couple pumps for short hair, 3 or 4 pumps for longer hair. Leave on 4 minutes and voila! Your hair is amazingly healed! What prompted me to mention it here is when you mentioned how the extensions (I believe it must be real human hair) start to get split ends, etc. after about 6 mos. Surely this will help that too, thereby saving you money. It works on wigs, hairpieces, extensions, anything human hair-as it works at the core. Let me know if you decide to try it! Thanks again Jacqueline
I love my tape in extensions and I’ve been wanting to try to put them in myself especially now being home so much thank you for that informative video I would like to see one how you remove them and what do you recommend for removal I only use three on each side just to give me some volume for my shoulder length hair which is very fine. I want to try longer like yours they look so pretty.
That’s the sweetest compliment! Thank you so much! I have the most fun in my beauty group on Facebook! I’d love to add more positive women like you to our group! facebook.com/groups/255254002155503/
Love love love your hair. Your video is awesome. I go to a salon to have my extensions put it and it's very expensive. I want to do my own and your video helps me to understand how to do it myself.
I’m sorry I’m just now seeing these comments! Thank you for the kind words! As far as feeing them, you do FOR SURE. It took me a while to get used to them, especially at night!
Thank you; thank you.. You've inspired me to go ahead with my decision to purchase the tape-ins. I've been looking at Irresistible Me products, but will look at the ones that you're using, now that I've discovered and subscribe to you!
You’re SO WELCOME! Thank YOU for taking the time to write such a nice message and GOOD LUCK! Feel free to look me up on FB if you have any questions. I have an amazing beauty group over there with so many supportive, uplifting women! Link is in the description box!
I don't really like people knowing my business so, I'm really happy I saw this one video, it's super easy plus it will save me lots of money doing it at home instead of going to a salon❤️
Dang I didn't get the shorter length to use but will have to cut them and I did get my clarifying shampoo. Thanks you really helped since I done see all types of videos you really make it seem effortless. Glad you shared about the foil tip and the angles for pony tails and buns. YIPPIE Ok will have you on while I put mine in when I get my last pack adding some color for highlights. You can get a color and add one that matches your hair color and then add another tape in on top of another color along the edges/outsides (so when pulled up your color matches). LOVE THE WAY YOU PUT THEM IN... BLESS YOU!!!
I put them in with your method. I used the same brand. It was way harder than I thought it would be. I started too high, so I have to take those out and put more on the bottom. Plus trying to get them to match my hair has been a nightmare (super blonde). But thank you for your video, it was the easiest I’vei found.
I’m glad you aren’t giving up!! It took me a long time to gather these tips because it took me a LOT of trial an error to get them just right! Those little tweaks like leaving enough hair to cover at the top and other things like making sure the tape isn’t TOO close to the scalp so you are more comfortable we’re things I learned the hard way, at first.
I just start using tape in hair about 6 weeks now , my hair dresser put it in and I love them it looks like my own hair my hair is long but I need them for more body in my hair my own hair is starting to tin out so this is perfect for me, I will like to watch u more so I can do them for myself, thank u so much I’m going to learn from u💕😀
I love them even more for the volume than I do the length! It’s adds so much! My hair was thinning too, but I made a few changes to get it healthier and haven’t needed extensions now for a few months!
How long do you keep them in before taking them out? How do you get them out without wrecking the hairs surrounding the tape? Does the hair surrounding the tape end up getting connected to the tape and become removed? Sorry if these are dumb questions....I'm a noob at this.
Not dumb questions at all but a lot to explain in text! Check the description box for the link to a removal video I did where I talk ALL that stuff. As far as how often you need to replace, that all depends on YOU; growth rate, “wear n tear” and how well you take care of them play a huge part! I usually got about 6 weeks from each install. ❤️
Thank you! My goal with leaving some space (about 2” from my hairline in the front) is to hide them, yes! Also, I need that hair left out to cover the tapes when I put it up into a pony tail!
What shampoo and conditioner do you use? As well as what dry shampoo and heat protector do you use? Watching your video inspired me to buy them and this is my first time EVER putting tape in extension. I want to make sure I don't ruin them
Goodness! I’m sorry I didn’t see this until now! I actually used suave believe it or not! Their line that is sulfate free. The key is no oils or sulfates at the tapes to help them last longer and only condition mid-shaft down. I hope that helps! Don’t spend crazy money on name brand shampoos!! Good luck!!!
This comment made my day because while I want to share what has worked for me I am NO EXPERT and don't want to lead anyone down the wrong path! Thank you, truly.
OFFICIALLY my very first comment from the Netherlands!!! So very cool!!!! I’d love for you to join my group on Facebook!!!! If you do decide to, let me know you’re there! The link is in the description box! Thank you for such a nice comment! 💗
Oh my gosh....your "melt downs" made my day. IM NOT ALONE!!! I have to ask what foundation you use? Your skin looks so beautiful!!! Thank you for this video!

Hi..Ive been studying these videos n yours is the best!!!did u not sandwich your own hair with them?
@@oceans4739 sure did! When I flip up the first “half” the adhesive on it holds on to a layer of my hair that I then place the second half on top of. Make sense?
@@BrookieRush yes completely makes sense ..didnt realize u needed your own hair lol..ty for responding so quickly ♥️🤗
Hi..Do u HAVE to wash them before installing ?TY
@@oceans4739 sorry! Just saw this. I NEVER washed them before putting them in the first time! I DO wash them before reusing them though.
I am a licensed cosmetologist here in California and I find it absolutely necessary to tell you that your DIY video has taught me more in one viewing than any professional video or industry video I have watched! I love the confident way that you give instruction and how honest-to-God easy it becomes with your step by step instruction. Thank you thank you thank you!!
What a wonderful comment to wake up to! Especially when it’s “y’all” that made me most terrified to post this 😂 I really appreciate the time you took to leave this positive message. Thank you ❤️
I loved this too and have paid big money for hotheads but what I found out was the tape loved my hair like a lot! And the extension would separate from the tape and no amount of oils or remover got the tape out easily it was awful. Anyone else ever had that happen or offer up better extension ideas ?
Wow
Thank you! Great teaching moment! I to am a licensed cosmetologist, very valuable info 😊
Yea she really heloed so much need i say thats the problem in the salons they want you to think it's so hard that you can't do it yourself and need to spend a grand to put them in ( my personal experience) I will never go back to a salon now that I found my own groove and do them hate to say it ( even better then the salon did ) . .. thank you girly for showing other women they can do it themselves and smash it !!!! ❤
I’ve been wearing tape in extensions since 2011. My stylist did them for until 2017 when I moved. My usual routine with her took 3-4 hours. This was her removing, coloring my own hair, cleaning and applying new tape to the extensions while my color processed, reapplying the extensions and styling. She became a dear friend and we both looked forward to my appointments which, of course, added to the time my appointments lasted.
When I moved out of state I tried to find a new stylist but, I was blown away by what they were going to charge me. Plus, they would not use extensions that I would bring in, they would only use what they ordered and insisted on a new set each time.
So, I’ve been doing my own since 2017. I buy my extensions and tape from Sally’s. I take an evening and a morning to do my hair. I start by removing the extensions the night before. The next day I start by coloring my hair and giving it a long wash, really giving the roots and scalp a good scrub. I do not use any conditioner.
Then I put my extensions in almost exactly how you do yours, only I start at the bottom and work my way up. As long as I take my time and rush myself, they’ll be good for 8-10 weeks. I might have to retape one from time to time but that just takes a few minutes.
I use 22” and 18” to give the layers and volume I want.
I love my extensions!! They give me the hair I dreamed of having when I was a teenager.
I haven’t been able to wear them for over a year now. In 2019 I was diagnosed with stage four cancer. I’m in remission now and I never lost my hair but the treatment did change the texture of my hair and gave it a very funny feel and I just couldn’t get the tape to stick.
I started taking biotin with coconut oil and my hair has actually grown out almost to the length of the extensions. I still miss them though and I’m thinking of putting them back in soon. They gave me confidence and I could use some of that now.
Great video!!!! I wouldn’t change a thing!!! ☺️
Thank you! And thank you for sharing your story! There’s just something about a glorious head of hair that can make me feel so much better. I’m glad to know I’m not alone. I’d love to see you on my page on Facebook! Your kind of story sharing is exactly the kind of thing that fits well with my group!

Awww God Bless you with his healing power in Jesus Name 🙏🏿♥️✝️ and thanks 😊 for your great tips too! It will be my first time trying it at home! Praying 🙏🏿 for you Ms. T.
How do you remove them without pulling out your hair
@@lawandalh2387 Sally’s sells an adhesive remover that I use. A few drops on a cotton ball or cloth dabbed on the tape end of the extensions helps them slip right off. Stubborn ones might take more than a dab. Wash your hair well and don’t use conditioner before putting them or new ones back in.
Credit where Credit is due lovely lady!
- I have attempted to put in tape in extensions 3 times over the last fortnight only to crack it and give up every time. Today i followed this tutorial and saved myself $130 for my hairdresser doing it.
Bless your cotton socks, i cannot thank you enough xx
You rock for leaving this comment because It totally just made my day! I’m so glad it worked for you! I tried a million ways at first, too! This was by far the easiest for me! I hope they wear well for you!
Your defo a British lass like myself with the bless your cotton socks 😂
I'm a stylist in Ohio and found this video accidentally and can I say you were awesome and very informative a great teacher. Im inspired keep doing what your doing♥️♥️
For whatever reason, being told I’m a “great teacher” is received as one of the best compliments I could get. Thank you, so very much! It means a lot coming from someone with knowledge 💗💗
This is the best diy installation video Ive found thank you
You are so kind to say that! Thank you!
Agree
I’m a licensed cosmetologist and I hate bothering people at work to put my hair extensions on thank you I’m going to do it myself you’re awesome incredible teacher🙌🙌
That’s my favorite kind of comment, thank you!
Thank you for the video. It gives me the confidence to do my own extensions now since my hairdresser has bailed on me I really appreciate it.
I just wanted to say thank you, so very much! You have made this so much easier and faster to get these done.
You speak so well! Super clear, informative video, no extra unnecessary babble.. This was perfect! Thank you!
Well this comment made my day! Thank you!
Awesome video !! Only thing I learned being raised by a hairstylist that I noticed you don't do, between each layers/row of extensions, leave a layer of hair with no extensions, way more comfy and less chances to have mini matte going on between each extrnsions! But I love your method and I'm going to try it tonight :)
This is such a great video! I’m licensed and first had extensions done by a hairdresser friend. After only two fill appointments, I had to move away. Not wanting to fork over the $1500 at a salon in my new city (not that it’s not worth it…hairdressers absolutely deserve that for their time and expertise, just not an amount I could cough up every 6 weeks) and with my license, I’m able to buy the same brand that I started with. I started doing them myself…bottom-up, since that’s how my friend did it. But this looks so much easier when you’re working on yourself. I’ll be trying this when I do my next fill. Just want to park a little tip here too, in case anyone is like me-and can’t get anything through my hair without conditioner from roots to ends. A shampoo and conditioner without sulfate and sodium/salt, will allow full conditioning without losing too much stickiness on your adhesive tabs. My favorite is Paul Mitchel awapuhi wild ginger moisturizing lather shampoo and keratin cream rinse. Recommended by the friend who does extensions professionally. And a plus, for me is, since I had my first set installed right before a vacay, and washed for the first time at the resort, this shampoo and conditioner reminds me of vacation every time I use it 😉 Thanks for the great video…your instruction is detailed and easy to follow ❤
What an incredible compliment and comment! I really appreciate the added info, too!!! 💗💗💗
I just did my very first tape in extensions and thanks to you is a success!!! Everything you said it's true! Starting with the most difficult part of the process is the initial division of the hair. Why do others make it soooooo complicated!
I'm looking forward to healthier hair while looking good and of course will search for your how to take them down in about six weeks. You saved me TONS OF $$$$$ THANK YOU!! ❤
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you coming back and telling me this! 💗💗💗. Come find my FB group (its in the description above). I’d love to have you there!
This is the best DIY on tape ins that I have seen. Thank you!! I always get caught up in the "tape sandwich" process but doing the top part first seems a lot easier
Game changer, right?! I tried so many ways before discovering this method 💗 Thank you for the positive comment!
My stylist talked me into tape ins a few weeks ago since my I am losing my hair from medications. They have given me my confidence back for sure!!!
That’s AMAZING! Check out my newest video where I go thru everything I used to get my hair a lot thicker and longer in the last six months!
Same here😢 i lost hair due to stress and medications. I think its a good idea.
OMG This is the best tutorial I’ve seen that clearly demonstrates how to put tape in extensions yourself.
Thank you so much. I love the meltdowns too!
I really appreciate the positive feedback!!!! Thank you so much 💗
I saw your video Tuesday, ordered my hair and it came in today! So easy to do! Thank you! My hair looks great!
please come find me on Facebook!!!! I see all these kind comments but never get to see your hair!!!! I have an amazing beauty group there with over 1,200 incredible women!

Wow. I’ve been dying to try to do it myself for a long time. You have really made me more confident to do it. Great tips. Thank you
Yes I agree 100% I’m actually in the middle of doing them now
@@natashamelton3504 How’d they turn out?
Hi. I am wanting to do my own tape in's. You say you get yours on Amazon. How did you know what colour to purchase without physically seeing them first.?
I worry that I will purchase the wrong colour and it will be a complete waste of money before I've even started.
I've been using extensions for about three years and I have never tried the method you just showed. Now I can't wait to try it, next time I put them back. Thank you!
Love comments like this! Thank you! If you try it, I’d love to hear what you think!
You are ADORABLE!!! I just ordered two packages and I am very excited to try them for my first time. I will definitely watch this video again completely before I begin. Thank you for being so informative much more than a lot of the other videos I have watched. I think I’m actually brave enough to try it now cannot thank you enough!!!!! 😘
BEST. COMMENT. EVER. 💗
I'm about to try my hand at tape ins today, and this is the only video I made it all the way through. So informative and gave me the confidence to try it out myself!
Ah!!!! Good luck!!! I hope it goes well for you! The first couple days you’ll REALLY notice them at night but I promise you get used to that fast! Thank you for the kind comment!
The most helpful video I've watched so far, to the point, without drowning out the vowels in the last word of every sentence. 🤦♀️ Nails on a chalk board. Thank you!
Your comment made me realize we’d make quick friends 😂
I have been doing my own tape in hair extensions for only about a year now. Your video waa the easiest I have ever done it and it looks the best it's ever looked ❤️❤️ thank you so much
Such an awesome compliment! Thank you! I’m so glad it worked well for you!
Your extension videos & how you healed your hair has been so helpful!! Glad I came across them.
And I am so appreciative you took the time to let me know! Glad to have you 💗
SO glad I watched this before trying a first DIY install. Other videos had great hacks but started working at the nape; with your method, the first row is the easiest to place instead of the hardest. You instantly see the extensions’ color and position, mistakes are easier to fix. Thanks for a huge help.
A lot of trial and error in my side to get there! So glad it was useful to you!
Ok so back in April I got tape ins at a salon it was my first time and I thought I had done enough research but I was way wrong. I paid $600 for 3 packs I’d hair which is absolutely a lot and I would normally never pay for but my hair is soooo thin and I was in a wedding so I used my stimulus. Couldn’t get an appointment until 2 days before the wedding and was told $250 to get them in and paid $375. They used all 3 packs and it was just way to much for me and my thin hair because yes you could see them once my hair grew out. However, when you go from like no hair to 3 packs of hair it’s a total self esteem builder. I was told it would be close to $450 to get them back in. No way I could afford that, getting them out was an ordeal in itself and then to not have long think hair was heartbreaking, but then I saw your video so yesterday was my first attempt at doing them myself. Yes I had a few minor issues but that was from inexperience but I will never pay for a salon to do them again. I know I’ll will get better with time and I’m honestly happier with the way I put them in with your help, and I can actually put my hair up. You seriously will never understand how much this video has helped me . Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Wow! Thank you for this because it’s nice to know it HELPED someone! I’m so glad because I 💯 am like you, where a good bit of my confidence comes from a great head of hair. Silly to some, I’m sure, but it is what it is!
I did a video on removal too. Hopefully you’ll find some ways there to make them come out easier AND be able to reuse them. Good luck!
A woman's hair is her crown, what a lovely way that you are helping so many women out there in need, or that just want to feel great about themselves, may karma bless you in many ways, 💯🌼
What a beautiful person you are to take the time to add this comment. Thank you ❤️❤️
@@BrookieRush You're welcome, Godbless,
Hi Brooke, again I want to thank you for your great video on tips when installing tape extensions. After watching these dozens of times, I placed a full head with tape extensions on myself. Your tips have helped me a lot with this. The result is astonishing. Have a nice weekend to you and your family. Love from Belgium, Suzanne
Hello!!!! So glad you came back to report! I’m thrilled it worked well for you!!! Come on over to my Facebook Group! I’m a lot more active over there and I really think you’d like it, PLUS…. I’m certain you’d be the first from Belgium in my group 💗
@@BrookieRush thank you to accept me in your group! I'll certainly do it. Huge hugzz 💗
🍁🍂 I certify this as being one of the best Tape in hair extensions tutorial - ever; thank you.
Well that is a HUGE compliment! THANK YOU!!
Best DIY tape in extension video I have watched and I have watched a lot. Love how you start from the top instead of bottom. So much easier. Thank you!!!
You’re very welcome! I’m glad it was useful for you! I watched a BUNCH, too!!!
I love this video! It’s the best DIY tape in video I’ve seen. I usually have mine professionally done, and during the stay at home order I attempted to do it myself. Wish I had seen this video then, my results would have been a lot better and the process much easier.
From one lover of long hair-(who had the "Warlock" method done in the New Orleans salon for years$$$) to another-excellent video! I used to use a low-temp glue gun, light-brown glue sticks and methodically apply the extensions myself. Took me about 6-8 hours and soo tedious, but the results were so good. But now that I know we can do these ourselves-I will never go back to doing it that old way. I can NOT WAIT to try this! Thank you for providing every little tid-bit of info needed to make an informed decision. Yes!
I wish I had a different way of thanking each one of you who takes the time to comment so nicely! THANK YOU! YT was TERRIFYING to this old lady and women like you have worked hard to prove me wrong.
This was the second video I found with tape in extensions and let me tell you, it's the only one I need. You are amazing and I am so grateful that I found this, thank you so much!
Thanks, Daisy!!!! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this comment!
I’m considering extensions for the first time and your video offered excellent guidance in helping me decide. Thanks for a very informative and honest portrayal of the application and process. You’re very personable which makes for an ultra enjoyable viewing experience.
Personable; one of the best compliments I think I’ve been given in here. Thank you! Good luck with your extensions!!!!
Consider checking out my Facebook group! It’s a great place with a whole bunch of positive women!

You’re a genius!!! My biggest problem was figuring out how much hair to sandwich in between. This method is so easy 😍 Thank you for all the tips! I am a mortician and have to wear my hair up and it gets yanked on by the respirator, so your tip on the diagonal placement of the lower tapes is life changing! THANK YOU 🙏🏻🤍💫☺️🤩
I have been doing my tape ins for about a year now an always started at the bottom. I followed your instructions for a change and it was so much easier! Thank you, i will be doing it this way from now on! 😊
Yay! I’m so happy to hear it made it easier for you! I never could get the hang of bottom up!
This is one of the best tape in tutorials I’ve seen, very detailed! Great video. Now I will definitely try it myself, thank you so much 😊🥰
You just made my day as I sit in wait now two hours at the DMV 😂💗
I had a falling out with the cosmetologist who purchased and installed my first set of extensions, and I attempted to do my second round by myself. I wish I had seen this video before that. 😅
Thank you so much for this! I anticipate it getting easier and easier moving forward.
Please come back and tell me how it goes!
I have watched dozens of videos all pretty good, but your perspective of diying hit me the best. Parting off your own hair is hard. I'm licensed and I still have to be careful when sectioning my hair. Your updoing each section.....perfect for diy. I just paid aboue 500.00 for hair....it hasn't come in mail yet, but I'm anxious to see how it is. Ive done clip ins...not sure they are for me. I felt like I had a helmet on, so tape ins are my next effort. THanks for taking time to do this.....really good.
PLEASE come back and tell me how it worked out for you!!!! Thank you for such a nice comment ❤️
Absolutely FANTASTIC video!!! Thank you!
Thanks for making my morning!
Brilliant! This is the best tutorial video for diy tape ins. Thank you so much for sharing your technique!
What a huge compliment!!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for the information in your video. It’s exactly what I was looking for! My hair has been thinning for years now and I just ordered my first set of tape in extensions and I had no idea how to put them in. I think now after watching your video I am ready to try it. So thank you!!!!!!!
I can’t wait for you to feel great!!!! Good luck!!!
I love your interruptions! You are so awesome - that you showed that part and kept going!
Aw, thank you!
You have changed my life!! Thank you! I love how “real” you are. I met hubby online too!! 🥰
THANK YOU!!!! (Also a slightly ironic comment given my “fake” hair video 😂). No shame in the match.com game! 😂😂🤣
Like minds ... you got the irony... 🥰
Your own hair is absolutely beautiful and you work with those extensions like a professional hairdresser. Wow 🤩
What an incredible compliment!!! Thank you!
I would kill for a “Widows Peak” like yours…I have coveted one my entire life❤❤❤❤❤I just LOVE how they look and give your (or anyone with one) that little ‘extra’ !!!! ❤❤❤❤
Ah…. My widows peak! Would you laugh if you knew it made me so self conscious when I was young!!!? I never understood why I was the only one with the “Dracula” “v” 😂😂
I used your method last night , thank gawd I found your video!!! Super helpful my first time applying myself and wow! Best method for sure I was gonna do it totally different, this saves me time and many cuss words lol !
You are the VERY FIRST PERSON to report back after almost 2 years of this video being up and I am SO HAPPY to hear it actually worked for someone! Thank you so much for taking the time to come back!
@@BrookieRush I will use the method every time now , it made the whole process so much easier! I’ll be sure to check out your other videos, thanks again🕉☮️☯️
Wow!! You did a great job explaining exactly how to install the extensions!! Best video I've seen so far and I've been watching many videos! I'm so happy to have found your channel. I will be definitely giving this a try very soon. I am going to have to sort out how to remove them once they're installed. I don't think you mentioned it. But maybe someone has a video about the removal process. Thank you so much! Your hair is gorgeous!!
Thank you so much! I’m excited for you to try! Check the description box and linked here at the top of the comments is the link to the tips on taking them out! It takes patience and by far is the worst part of having them but I always found that part worth it! Good luck!
Thanks, your video was just what I needed and far more useful than the other thousands I have watched. And Ps - not only are your hair extensions gorgeous, but you are absolutely stunning as well! Just had to say it! Thanks for the video hun!
Oh gosh, you just made my morning to wake up to your comment! Thank you!
So I have had my extensions professionally done and iv tried always to do them myself and watched video after video your by far has been the best I love the way you do this !! Im doing ije today and I feel so much more confident in doing them !!! Thank you
These are my favorites comments! I’m so glad you gained something from it and would love to hear how it goes! 💗
I just watched this and this will be my first time doing my own tape ins ! Thank you for your video I’m confident I can do this now thanks again
Please come back and let me know how you do! I’m glad you gained some confidence! That and some patience is all it takes!
I 'd like to see you do a video on how you take them out .
I totally would but I have grown my hair so much and it's so much thicker than it used to be that I don't have to use extensions anymore! They do sell remover, but I hated it. The remover made them much more of a pain when you go to reuse them. I usually used melted (but cool) coconut oil and massaged it into my scalp and waited about an hour. Then just pry apart! I hope that helps!
Also they sell stuff that sprays in to take out taped or cold fusion extentions, ask a stylist at a salon (act like ur interested in having it done & ur worried, then she will tell u what it's called lol I forget! It might be on the Dream Catcher extension site.
Best DIY vid for hair extensions! Very thorough Thank you!
Thank you!
I’ve watch many videos on tape ins and this video is by far the most educational one. Thank you
I’m sorry I’m just seeing this! I really appreciate your kind words!
Can't wait to try my tape in extentions now! I've had them for what seems like forever and had just been scared to put them in myself. Ever since watching this I have built up my confidence in the process. Here I go, wish me luck! :)
Sending tons of luck your way!!!!
Remember that the sticky tape on the extensions has a shelf life. If you've had them for months you may need to replace the tape before using.
Amazing video ! I’m so excited to try now ! Love the layers with various lengths; that’s kind of what I was thinking too. Thanks for doing this and sharing !
I’m so happy you got something out of it! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Now this so far is the best method I have seen for DIY
THANK YOU!!!!!
Just tried doing myself a few where hair broke off from a motorcycle wreck 6 mo ago.i had long hair but lost alot when that happened due to injury.finallhave a little to work with on that side. Tried them but color didn't match good enough. Glad my color comes this week. Also a cosmetologist and barber yrs ago. I have saved thousands over30 yrs doing my own everything. Anyway after viewing your video now I see how I did it was not working as well. Gonna try this way. Thank you sooooo much
I’m all about saving money when I can! I’m so glad you are ok!!!
Do you have any idea how much easier you just made my life!! With me being new to the world of extensions because of chemical burn/breakage to my own (used to be!) waist length hair, now at my jaw line...I LOVE YOU!! And I'm pretty sure you just literally saved my fiance's life as well!! Lol
So, THANK YOU LIFESAVER!!💋
Best. Comment. Ever. 😂💗
@@BrookieRush Nothing but the truth!! 😘
You clearly have mastered this,and it looks perfect 👌🏼
You’re the sweetest! Thank you for taking the time to drop a positive comment!
Thank so much options I've been doing my extensions by myself and been trying to find the perfect video for good example to see if I'm doing everything right and so far so good I was but I was missing a few littl examples here and you gave them to me so now this shows me to do a little bit better on my extensions on my own this helped so much thank you so much appreciated.❤️
So happy you found it helpful!!!
I ordered mine a week ago and I’ve been dying to do them and haven’t been able to find anyone to help me I watched 1 million videos but yours is the first one that I’ve come across and found your technique that would actually work doing it yourself I’m going to do them tonight and I’ll let you know how it turns out I only want it for length and I got two packs of 50 g each 20 pieces each I hope that’ll be enough how many packs did you use
If I remember I used about 2.5 packs BUT if you’re just needing length you can probably get away with 2 easily! I’m so happy you think this’ll work for you! Tip for a first timer: make sure you leave a little space between the tape and your scalp instead of right up at the root! You want to be able to comfortably “flip” them up and down (like if you were pulling your hair up in a pony tail). If you put them too close to the root they are painful to flip until they grow out a bit. Good luck!
Bless you! I bought tape ins I've put them in twice following the professional placement patterns and I hate it. I have very thin fine hair and I could see them when I pulled my hair up.
This week sometime I'm going to color my hair and the extensions put new tapes on them and do what you did here. Pray for me lol thank you for this video.
Good luck! Let me know how this method works for you!
@@BrookieRush thank you I will
@@Lizkillmer How did it work for you? I'm about to try it myself, I'm nervous....
@@mermaidglow6998 I got everything colored, I'm going to put them in later today. I will let you know.
@@mermaidglow6998 I got everything in and I have to say i love this so much more. Its comfortable and looks good, I cant see any of the tapes with my hair up or when it's down. just need to go get a hair cut to get everything blended together. I say this is a win!
I have done them your way .... and yes thanks it’s much easier now to put them in..
SO much easier! Thank you for watching!

I just watched your video on your personal story of your dealings with imposter syndrome. All I can say is thank you. I've struggled with it as well, and self-diagnosed myself with it after doing my own research on why I don't feel good about myself despite the amazing accomplishments in my life. As a high-level professional in a competitive field, and with no college degree, I have consistently doubted my worthiness and my talent over the years, and as a single mama, always waiting for my life to crash down around me when people figure out that I'm not "all that." But here's the deal. Every single day I show up in my life and at my job and for myself and my kids, and I go out and kill it. It's taken me years to feel as though I actually deserve the job/career I have, and at 55 years old, I finally feel like I deserve it as much as anyone who has worked as hard as I have to get where I am. As far as politics, I feel exactly as you do, and I am no longer ashamed to admit it. Thank you for being you. Thank you for sharing this situation in your life that I would never myself dare speak about to anyone for fear of judgment. You are brave, you are real, and you are amazing. And I am at a point in my life where I can recognize that in you, because I also recognize it in myself. Much love and many blessings to you, fabulous girl❤️❤️❤️
@@angel-mq2mo it’s brave of you to even admit it here. 💗 Thank you for this. Even though you’re a stranger, I’m proud. Imposter Syndrome is something I battle every day but now that I identified it, like you, it’s a battle I win.
❤️❤️❤️
Great video. The only tips I'd add are to use a pin comb to make the hair partings cleaner plus leave a thin layer of hair out between each row of extensions.
You are so stunning. Love your hair. You did an amazing job applying those hair extensions. They look like your own hair. Also love your hair colour it’s gorgeous 💖💖💖
I’m totally blushing. Thank you for taking the time to write such a sweet comment!
@@BrookieRush Aww you’re very welcome 💕💕
Your meltdowns are hilarious 🤣
I feel connected to you 🤗
And yes, good job on the tapes. I prefer I tips, but when I put tape ends on myself it takes me 2 to 3 hours lol. You for sure have a tried and true method!
Well thanks 😂. Turns out I was a little vitamin deficient and my anger is much better controlled now, true story! 😂😂. Thank you for saying hello!
Great video! I have everything I need; going to tone a weft of platinum blonde to match mine. My hair is over processed, over bleached until it started breaking off in the back. (My bad-overlapped and didn’t time it. I know better!) I found something called K18, which actually stopped all Hair breakage and my bleached hair now feels like it did BEFORE I ruined it! It’s amazing stuff-better than Olaplex.
Anyway, I’m getting ready to see if I can apply some tape ins, then use a halo extension to gather volume…will keep you posted. I LOVE your technique.
Tell me more about K18!!! I’m always here to hear how to make my hair better!
@@BrookieRush K18 is every woman’s best friend! It is state-of-the-art technology at its best to save your hair from all the mistakes one can make when we, who are not trained cosmetologists, like to play, “Hairdresser !“ You can get it on Amazon, Ulta, Sephora, etc. It’s been sold-out everywhere but finally my BF snagged some at the mall. I bleached my hair WHITE. It was an accident, but still had to fix it. I found K18; wash your hair and get it good and clean. Use NO CONDITIONER, lightly towel dry. Then use a couple pumps for short hair, 3 or 4 pumps for longer hair. Leave on 4 minutes and voila! Your hair is amazingly healed! What prompted me to mention it here is when you mentioned how the extensions (I believe it must be real human hair) start to get split ends, etc. after about 6 mos. Surely this will help that too, thereby saving you money. It works on wigs, hairpieces, extensions, anything human hair-as it works at the core.
Let me know if you decide to try it!
Thanks again
Jacqueline
I love my tape in extensions and I’ve been wanting to try to put them in myself especially now being home so much thank you for that informative video I would like to see one how you remove them and what do you recommend for removal I only use three on each side just to give me some volume for my shoulder length hair which is very fine. I want to try longer like yours they look so pretty.
I would never have tried them myself without your video. You’re very beautiful and fun to watch, thank you!
That’s the sweetest compliment! Thank you so much! I have the most fun in my beauty group on Facebook! I’d love to add more positive women like you to our group! facebook.com/groups/255254002155503/
BEST video! I am so happy I watched this video! Thank you for making it!
If no one told you yet today that you’re the best; that’s what I’m here to say! Thank you for the kind comment!
Yet ANOTHER beauty putting hair extensions in her already long thick hair. you gals kill me lol. love it
Psst…. I have incredibly fine, limp hair. Extensions gave me the volume I was looking for.
Love love love your hair. Your video is awesome. I go to a salon to have my extensions put it and it's very expensive. I want to do my own and your video helps me to understand how to do it myself.
Please come back and let me know how it works for you!!! I’m all about saving money! Thank you for the comment and the compliment!

Wow! Thank you! It’s certainly what worked best for me and I hope it makes it easier for someone else!
You talked me Into it!! Hope mine turns out as gorgeous as yours! Wish me luck!
How did it go?!
Your hair looks beautiful and natural!
You make it look easy! I’ve never tried but now I want to.
Thank you so much!!! Give it a try! Come back and let me know how amazing you feel!
This has been honestly the best diy video for extentions I've seen though
I’m sorry I’m just now seeing these comments! Thank you for the kind words!
As far as feeing them, you do FOR SURE. It took me a while to get used to them, especially at night!
@@BrookieRush yea I figured I would there's really no way round it🤣🤣🤣🤣

Your hair when done loos BEAUTIFUL ..GREAT JOB. !Thanks.
Thank you so much for your kind comment!
I don't really like people knowing my business so, I'm really happy I saw this one video, it's super easy plus it will save me lots of money doing it at home instead of going to a salon❤️
Spectacular 🙌 Amazing tutorial I'm doing this today!
Thank you!!! Hope it went well for you and you’re LOVING your hair!
Dang I didn't get the shorter length to use but will have to cut them and I did get my clarifying shampoo. Thanks you really helped since I done see all types of videos you really make it seem effortless. Glad you shared about the foil tip and the angles for pony tails and buns. YIPPIE Ok will have you on while I put mine in when I get my last pack adding some color for highlights. You can get a color and add one that matches your hair color and then add another tape in on top of another color along the edges/outsides (so when pulled up your color matches). LOVE THE WAY YOU PUT THEM IN... BLESS YOU!!!
How did this method work for you?! I would love to hear!
The hair shop also sells really good tape hair for $55 a pack. Lasts awhile.
I put them in with your method. I used the same brand. It was way harder than I thought it would be. I started too high, so I have to take those out and put more on the bottom. Plus trying to get them to match my hair has been a nightmare (super blonde). But thank you for your video, it was the easiest I’vei found.
I’m glad you aren’t giving up!! It took me a long time to gather these tips because it took me a LOT of trial an error to get them just right! Those little tweaks like leaving enough hair to cover at the top and other things like making sure the tape isn’t TOO close to the scalp so you are more comfortable we’re things I learned the hard way, at first.
Im new here. Loved the video. Lots of good info. I'm doing my own tape ins this weekend. I hope mine turn out as good as yours. ❤
I’m so excited you found the video! Come back and tell me how you do!
I just start using tape in hair about 6 weeks now , my hair dresser put it in and I love them it looks like my own hair my hair is long but I need them for more body in my hair my own hair is starting to tin out so this is perfect for me, I will like to watch u more so I can do them for myself, thank u so much I’m going to learn from u💕😀
I love them even more for the volume than I do the length! It’s adds so much! My hair was thinning too, but I made a few changes to get it healthier and haven’t needed extensions now for a few months!
You make it look so easy. Thank you for the tip. I've been doing mine different and they fall out within a month.
Thank you! Come back and let me know how this way works out for you compared to other ways you’ve tried!
How long do you keep them in before taking them out? How do you get them out without wrecking the hairs surrounding the tape? Does the hair surrounding the tape end up getting connected to the tape and become removed? Sorry if these are dumb questions....I'm a noob at this.
Not dumb questions at all but a lot to explain in text! Check the description box for the link to a removal video I did where I talk ALL that stuff. As far as how often you need to replace, that all depends on YOU; growth rate, “wear n tear” and how well you take care of them play a huge part! I usually got about 6 weeks from each install. ❤️
Hi this is a great video. Why do you not put any at the front side of your hair - is it because it’s fine and you’d see them? Thanks
Thank you! My goal with leaving some space (about 2” from my hairline in the front) is to hide them, yes! Also, I need that hair left out to cover the tapes when I put it up into a pony tail!
What shampoo and conditioner do you use? As well as what dry shampoo and heat protector do you use? Watching your video inspired me to buy them and this is my first time EVER putting tape in extension. I want to make sure I don't ruin them
Goodness! I’m sorry I didn’t see this until now! I actually used suave believe it or not! Their line that is sulfate free. The key is no oils or sulfates at the tapes to help them last longer and only condition mid-shaft down.
I hope that helps! Don’t spend crazy money on name brand shampoos!! Good luck!!!
I’m at tape hair Nano bead expert at home. This is an excellent video. Excellent
This comment made my day because while I want to share what has worked for me I am NO EXPERT and don't want to lead anyone down the wrong path! Thank you, truly.
Great tutorial! How/what do you use to remove that doesn't damage the natural hair? Your hair without them looked really good to me! Thank you!
Well thank you!!! There’s a pinned comment at the top that links to my video where I talked about how to remove them! Hope that helps!
Fantastic how you show this. It's great❣Thanks for ppsting this video.
