- After tons of failed attempts and a couple years of watching every self installation video I could find, I finally am ready to show you the way I put in my tape-in extensions on my own! Mine last roughly 6 weeks and I am able to reuse them over and over for at least 6 months before repurchasing!

I FINALLY filmed a video with tips for taking them out!

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 !!!! ❤
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!!!
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!
@@rebeccawade7437 check the description box. I’ve tried many but the ones linked there are the ones that I liked best!
Your video is the best by far. Thanks!
Thank you SO much!!!
This video helped me a lot! Thank you !!
You’re so welcome!
Loved the video was really helpful, can I ask how long your extensions were that you put in x
Oh goodness! I wish I could remember exactly. I believe it was 18, 20 and 22” for this type of look. The whitest at the top to hide my own hair length.
You are da bomb! Thank you, thank you for this tutorial! :)
Aw! Thank you!
How did you color match your hair??
The key is to pick extensions that aren’t one solid color, so they blend well! These extensions are also real human hair, so you can actually color them to match before putting them in. Hope that helped! Link to the extensions I use is in the description box.
Can you reuse these extensions
Yes, ma’am!!! I linked the replacement tapes in the description box. I usually got up to 5 or six installations out of mine!
You’re so pretty!
And you are so sweet! There aren’t many people in this world who would leave a positive comment for no reason other then to make you feel good, so I’m glad to meet you!
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 😂
This is the best diy installation video Ive found thank you
You are so kind to say that! Thank you!
Agree
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!

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!
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.
🍁🍂 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!!
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 💗
You have the most beautiful hairline...love the widows peak. I have always wanted a hairline like that...♥
I just wanted to say thank you, so very much! You have made this so much easier and faster to get these done.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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. ❤️
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. 💗
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.
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!
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 :)
Absolutely FANTASTIC video!!! Thank you!
Thanks for making my morning!
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 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!
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.
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!
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!
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!

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 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!
for all the lovely girls with thin hair: you don't want to do a double weft. instead you will use the top weft just like she does and then underneath you would use a single sided tape . just fyi. first time i did mine i did not know this and it came out not looking natural
I appreciate your input, albeit oddly aggressive. Fun fact though; most tape in extensions have explicit instructions on how to install on fine hair. You DO NOT add a tape to the back.
@@maggieberto6601 you CAN, yes, if you have very fine hair that has trouble disguising the tapes. That being said it doesn’t last nearly as long because as I’m sure you can imagine, the hold is way less. Hope that makes sense!
Great video!!!
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 😂💗
Why do you need more volume you have good hair naturally
I do now! But back then, while I had a lot of hair, it was very fine and limp! I appreciate you saying that though!
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!!! 💗💗💗
Best DIY vid for hair extensions! Very thorough Thank you!
Thank you!
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!!!
You talked me Into it!! Hope mine turns out as gorgeous as yours! Wish me luck!
How did it go?!
The hair shop also sells really good tape hair for $55 a pack. Lasts awhile.
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 🙏🏻🤍💫☺️🤩
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 💗
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 😂
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!
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!
You can add conditioner. Just make sure it’s sulfate free paraben free! Head and shoulder free form supreme nourish and smooth dye free no phosphate or phthalates! Ulta’s conditioner work well
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🕉☮️☯️
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've had more damaged hair from going to expensive high end salons 😅 than doing it myself ... hand tied extensions ruined my hair...
I like to leave a layer of my BIO hair in between each row of extentions. My hair is very thin so leaving a row of my hair in between covers the row of extentions. So i agree with you Melissa Dubois2437.
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... 🥰
I use my flat iron too tap tap tap. Never started from the top tho. Not sure it be easy for me i have a hard time seeing with two mirrors. I sware alot lol😅 mwybe be easier for me if i did start at top. Seen a girl todey do every roe nothing in between. Im used to leave an inch in between, even at the dalon. That's the eay i was taught. Somehow, i think it would be better if i did not leave space between less tangling for one. Ewsier install n i get thicker hair. Oh yw and more extentiosn my hair only fits 15 to 18 i need one of those revolving rooms with mirrors on every wall 😅
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!
I use conditioner i just rince it out fast ans i buy from Amazon and i been doing mine for yrs ans i do t have a problem. But i cant brish ny hair eithout conditioner either. Worse feeling ever is no conditioner. I also do the same when im doing a regwash only i leave it in a bit longer n use more on my ends. None fall.out the glue is pretty good n ive used the first tapes n even when retape. Blondes use purple.shampoo when they gotta do hair so. They dont fall.out then n i use whatever shampoo i been using i dont use hair extension shampoo anymore n havemt for yrs it feels terrible.
So you dont leave an half inch in between too? Fml that be so much easier. We were always taught to leave an inch.. Wow,
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
Thank you! Let me know how it goes 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 💗
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 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.
Just came across your channel and i have been wondering if
possible! I just made 2
i like this video!
but i just can’t understand WHY you wouldn’t make your part PERFECT - from the beginning
especially when you’re doing a “how-to” video !!!
@@xoxo28xoxo because there’s zero reason to stress about a straight part, especially when you’re DIY
Would you happen to have video on making your own crown hair piece? The one with the fishing wire attached. Thinking of making my own I cannot wear tons of hair it hurts my neck.
I don’t yet but I’ll look into it!
How many tapes have you in?
I’m honestly no sure anymore! This video is from a year ago and I don’t use them anymore. I would say 35-40? I also bought 3 packs and usually had about half of the last pack left when done.
@@BrookieRush thank you :)
I honestly believe u fon't need extentions at all! Your beautiful.
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!
Looks great just use thinning sheers lightly n itll blend better
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 ❤️
So you do not leave any of your natural hair in between the rows of The extensions. That’s interesting. Maybe as my hair gets longer I will try that. Right now my natural length is above the shoulders.
My hair was so thin at the time that’s the only way I got enough volume to keep my tapes covered. I’ve completely repaired my hair now! So if I do tape ins again, I’d probably leave rows in between.
You clearly have mastered this,and it looks perfect 👌🏼
You’re the sweetest! Thank you for taking the time to drop a positive comment!
I love this tutorial! My best advice for taking them out, and it’s a complete game changer for me, is to use Garnier Fructis “Brilliant Shine Glossing Spray”!!
OMG. It’s AMAZING. I got a scalp burn from using products marketed specifically for tape in removal and to add insult to injury? It took HOURS. Using the shine spray not only doesn’t burn my scalp, but literally takes 15-20 minutes AT MOST! Trust me. Try it!
I’m just seeing this!!!!! I don’t use tape in anymore but if that works as you describe that’s GREAT advice to share! The WORST part of tape ins for me was the removal FOR SURE!
Great Instruction Video !You are absolutely Gorgeous ! Thank you !
I will sh I was better at reacting to that! What a kind comment, thank you! ☺️
Your own hair is absolutely beautiful and you work with those extensions like a professional hairdresser. Wow 🤩
What an incredible compliment!!! 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! 💗
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!!!
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!!!
I don’t understand why you even need extensions. You have long thick hair already.
I have a fair amount of very fine hair, actually! My ponytail is about as thick as a regular sharpie! I do appreciate you saying that though.
What an awesome tutorial! You make it so easy to follow and I'm so excited to try it. You look amazing in this video and I appreciate you so much!!🥰😘
I don’t know what I did today to deserve such a sweet comment, but thank you. I hope it helps!!
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.
❤️❤️❤️
i removed my Sallys hair tape ins today with their hair gkie rover it was nightmare feels like I lost Alot of hair especially when i washed ut after removal 😢😢 whats best tape in removal applicator brand 😢😢 i dont know if i wanr to retape them on
You have to keep in mind that sometimes it seems like you lost a ton of hair because normally, you shed about 50 hairs a day but when you have the tapes in, it prevents them from falling. Additionally, we are used to a big full head of hair while the extensions are in! So when you take them out you feel bald!
I never liked any of the tape removals they sell. I much preferred melting down coconut oil and massaging it in, letting it sit and then taking my time to pry them apart. Hope that helps! I don’t know anything about the adhesive sally brand uses, that could be the culprit too.
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.
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.
Hold ON!! Diet soda stops hair growing? I'm addicted to that stuff and my hair hasn't grown for ages, it's driving me mad which is why I'm watching tape in extension videos. I need to research that. Regarding putting these in, my problem is I don't curl my hair, I like it straight. I've got coarse, thick hair that gets frizzy easily and I use GHDs to get it straight. I'm worried my hair won't blend with straight extensions most of the time. :/
Yes, ma’am!!! Once I quit (and I was a huge ADDICT) my hair started coming back in! The artificial sweeteners wreak havoc on your hair (and a lot more) and I had no idea how much better I’d start feeling until I realized the difference.
As far as keep your hair straight as long as you don’t have a lot of layers and plan to cut the extensions to match your length, they will blend just fine. I don’t use tape ins any longer but I do still use clip in ones that are the same as my overall length. I almost never curl them and you’d never be able to tell!
Good luck! AND KICK THAT HABIT!
Omg loved your video can’t wait to try to do mine
I know this is an old video, but how many weft sandwiches do you have in? I have more than half my head shaved, so I want to add extensions to the top, wondering if 10 sandwiches will be enough.
I believe it was 20 (40 pieces) so I’m betting ten would be plenty!
How many rows total was it. I lost count by accident. This is an amazing video. I’m gonna just do it “ lol.
I believe a total of 5, but it’s been a couple years ago now! I wouldn’t try to do the same amount of rows, I would base it on how many you think you need AND where you Need to stop so they are undetectable (especially if you ever want to wear them in a ponytail!). Hope that makes sense! You can “do it!” Lol
I have bought tape in hair extensions because I cut my hair really short close to a buzz cut, the issues I have been running into is at the top of my head and trying to figure out how I can make the extensions invisible and cohesive with the rest of my hair ? I have attempted so many times but ea ch time , it does look good at all and I end up taking them out? If u could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated
Aw! That sounds frustrating! I wish I could help you with some magical advice but unfortunately until you have the top layer long enough to cover the tapes it’ll be pretty impossible to make them undetectable. I wish I had something better to offer you!
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!
Thanks for your video but the meltodowns are really so annoying. You should delete them please.
Thank for your opinion! Not as annoying as you believe my meltdowns to be BUT the beauty is, watching my video was 100% OPTIONAL! Yay! How cool is that? You actually didn’t have to watch. I solved your dilemma 💗
Question, did these extensions get dry super fast at the bottom after some time? I have purchased amazon extensions before and that was a continuous issue I have encountered. I've been buying Bellami recently but its so pricey im tired of it. Thanks! :)
Not at ALL! I generally was able to reuse mine at least three times before replacing them!
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!
Your hair is gorgeous without the extensions...my gawd I wish my hair was as nice.
Thank you!!!!
Woah you kinda look like Isla Fisher !! But without the accent hehe
You’d be the first to ever say that as far as I’m aware! 😂 I take that as a compliment! Thank you!
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 got nice amount of hair. And nice color I thank you so much for your video is great and help me a lot. Thank you very much 💖☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍🙏
