My Experience With Tape In Hair Extensions!

Hi guys welcome back to my Channel today I have a tape and hair extension video for you guys. I know that in my blog I was like oh yeah, like I got cheapens review coming soon, here's the review - I know some of you guys have been wondering and asking so I want to share it with you. These hair extensions are from a company called irresistible me. They did send these to me for a review. I was not paid. I was not sponsored. They just sent me these hair extensions to review, for you guys and give my honest opinion. So that's what I'm going to be doing. It'S kind of a mixed opinion review. It'S not the most positive, it's not all negative, but um yeah, I'm just going to jump right in so when you order the hair. This is what it gets shipped in. It'S just a little like Ziploc packaging. That says ears is so easy. These are the hair extensions. These are all the ones that have fallen out, we'll get to that later, um and then over. Here you have like a tester side, so you have to open this side first to see if the color matches for you, if you like the quality and etc. If you open this side and decide you don't like the folly or it's not a red color match for you. These are now non-returnable um. So that's just like a little tip, because if you like just get so excited you rip it open. You'Re, like oh, my god, it doesn't match. You can't set it back to get the look that I achieved. I'Ve had to use four packs of hair. The packs of hair run about $ 100 each, so they are kind of pricey. Let'S just want to keep in mind. These are 20 inch. Human hair extensions in the shade 1b, which is like an off black color, and my first impression of the hair, when I first laid out of the package was wow. This is amazing. It was soft. It was silky, it felt great, it was nice and thick, and I was super super excited so when you're the first to get on the package, it kind of looks like this. This is the one that is falling out already, but um. It looks like this. They come as like, singulars like this, and they have like a piece of white tape here and then what your stylist will do is she'll. Take a thin section of hair place it in between the two tapes and then press them together, and then you have your one tape in. I have some footage on like a stick in here, for you guys of me getting it done yeah. So, as I said, the quality when I first got the hair was, it was super soft. It was super silky. It was really really amazing. It was thick. I was like wow she's gon na be great. These are gon na, be the best hair extensions. I'Ve ever had, I had really really high hopes when I went to the site my hair stylist she's, like wow. His hair, is really really nice and super soft and super silky whatever she was really really happy issues with the quality of the hair. I think she even like gave a client of recommendation like another client, a recommendation for this hair, so I'm like perfect, but this is gon na be fabulous. These are amazing winner, so that was my first impression of the hair. Let'S fast-forward to the first time, I'm watching so with t-pins you're, not supposed to watch her hair for believe 48 to 72 hours, because that's how long it takes for the blue to kind of like cure and the bond the bully seal. So I listened to that very well. I did not wash my hair and I have super oily. Hair have very fine hair, so for me to go three days is not watching. My hair was kind of like a huge deal. I, like doused, my head in dry, shampoo, eMeter, so three days later after the 72 hours are up it's time to wash my hair and I'm nervous, I'm like I don't know like because there are all these individual pieces in in your head with your hair kind Of in-between, so you have to kind of like maneuver your fingers around the tape and swatch your hair. So I was like panicked. I was like all right. I'M gon na go to a blow-dry bar, I'm gon na. Have them shampoo, my hair for the first time. Maybe like show me how to do it and I can get a better handle on it, so I can do it at home. So I go to a blow-dry power shampoo, my hair she's blowing out my hair and the extensions start to slip out. I lost one right there in the chair three days later and that immediately set me into a panic. I was like my god like because you're all gon na start sleeping on my head whatever, and I if I had like gone like this, to feel some of the ones lower in my head mm-hmm. They were sticky and that's not good, because that means that the glue is kind of falling apart and breaking down, so I was like heck is going on, so that was that was three days after I had them in. But after that I went on vacation to the Jersey Shore, they've been in ocean water, they had been in chlorine and they seemed to be fine. I didn't have any more slippage, so that was fine. They still were sticky to the touch like in the back of my head and stuff, but it was nothing crazy in the end, so I'm gon na leave it there. Now I'm going to talk about the pros and cons in my opinion, so the pros to tape. Ins are that they're virtually undetectable, and I can run my hand on my head right now and I don't feel anything they're super super flap to the head, so they look very natural you're, not gon na feel and your partner's, not gon na feel them. If they're, like touching your head like this or anything, I know that when I had the partial sewin, it was kind of bulky right here and it was really hard to disguise, especially because I had thin hair. So with these it's really really natural-looking. You can't really see that in my hair, until my hair starts to get oily and started separating and things like that, another Pro is, I love to be able to just like wake up with my hair in my head. It'S super convenient if I have to get out the door or, if I just want to like wake up and fill in or whatever I can just wake up. Have my hair, my head and go, I don't have to like wash my hair blow-dry. My hair then clip in my extensions and style it. You know it's just nice to just have your hair in your head, which is kind of like a pro to any semi-permanent type of hair extension, but I mean to stay with a pro with these. The last I've been a pro I have is that the hair itself is a thick quality. Now there is a con that goes to that, but it is a pro that it's thick, because you don't really want, like straggly thin nasty hair as your tape ends. If you already are using extensions to kind of get rid of, maybe like a thinning hair problem or just not enough volume or not enough hair, you kinda want the hair to be thick and everything you ever wanted. Basically, Jill isn't my pros. Now, let's talk about my cons, the first column, which is kind of the biggest con to me, is that I can't curl this hair. This hair will not hold a curl it just frizz this out and gets unruly looking. It looks like Bed Head, it mats up in a tangle, so I've even gone so far as like sectioning out piece by piece. So every little extension like this I have curled individually and then sprayed with hairspray and nope the second I am done with my hair and I'm like okay, this is nice. It frizz out. Unbelievably it mattes up. It drops the curl, it just looks like Bed Head and not in a good way. So that's definitely a big con for me because I don't like work, my hair straight all the time I'll be the first one to say it. I don't love the way straight. Hair looks and myself that's just a thing that I've always had. I like volume in my hair, I like it to be bouncy. I like to have curls. So that's a huge con for me. Another con is that the hair is frizzy like frizzy frizzy and it's kind of weird to me because I'll shampoo and condition my hair in the shower, then I'll come out and leave. But it's a 10 miracle leave-in light and like the ends and the mid shot and my hair is still a tingly frizzy mess. So that's all I can say for the quality of the hair. It gets a thumbs down in my opinion, because I don't want hair that I can't curl. I can't style - and I can't look nice with unless it's straight and even still when it's straight I have to continuously brush like, I can feel a matte building up in the back. I have to continuously brush and make sure that's detangled and the last, and possibly the biggest con is that they slip out of my head. I have had multiple extensions, probably ten or so slip out of my head completely, so this entire side is filled with extensions that have fallen out of my head, which is kind of an oboe like you definitely don't want your extensions to slip on your head. I had these installed on August, 2nd and today September 5th, when I'm filming this, so it has been a month. They are supposed to laugh in here from six to eight weeks, so in no way have they held on to any type of longevity. They just kind of slip down to my hair and honestly, I'm ready to take them out at this point, because it's just not what I wanted. So there are like pros and cons to every type of hair extension, but you kind of just have to like figure out what's best for you. So, as far as like the slipping out goes, I don't know if that's like a quality issue or if that was maybe like a stylist mistake, I'm not sure. As I said, this is my first time with tape and I really don't know so. I can't really say, as far as like, maybe the glue is not strong or if maybe my stylist wasn't putting enough pressure. I really don't know, I'm just wanting to say that so a couple tips if you are debating I'm getting some t pins are you have to use sulfate free, shampoo and conditioner, and that is a huge tip. If you use a shampoo that has sulfates in it, it will eat the bond, it'll eat the glue, and your hair will just slip out of your head, so even quicker than maybe these well um. So it's definitely a tip. Also do not put any product on the bond again, the product will eat the glue and your hair will slip out your head now to wrap it up. What I recommend these particular hair extensions know. What I've experienced in the past month is a quality issue. As far as like the hair frizzing out and not being able to hold a curl, because I mean I'm no stranger to curling my hair, I curl my hair all the time. That'S basically the only way I wear my hair, it's either and some type of curl or some type of wave. So it's not my tools, it's not anything, I'm doing it's a quality issue when it comes to holding the curl um. So, as far as that goes, I don't think I'd recommend the hair, because I I mean who wants to just wear your hair one way, maybe you do but not me so as far as that goes, I wouldn't recommend the hair now what I recommend tape in Hair extensions as a whole - I don't know I'm going to give tape - is another shot, I'm actually going on September 13th to get my to get new T pins put in my head at a different salon with different hair um. I actually was watching melissa flores here in youtube, and she talked about her experience with t pins. She ordered her hair off of amazon and went to a salon in new jersey, which is only about an hour away for me. So I am gon na go that route. I'M gon na order, the same hair. She did and go to the same salon. She did because I had an amazing experience with t-pins and I wanted to see. Maybe if I can have an amazing experience as well or if it's something I'm doing or or what's going on like if my hair stood thin, I don't know so. I am gon na go to her stylist and use the same hair she did and see. If I can get the same result - and I will give you guys like an update, a vlog or something on how I liked it so that's kind of where I stand with tapings - it's I'm kind of torn down the middle. I don't love them, I don't hate them, I'm just kind of torn I'm kind of confused. I don't know if I just had a bad experience. I don't know if the hair is bad. I don't know like. I don't know if the glue with that, I don't know, I don't know so, that's all I have for you guys today. I will film an update video guys if you want like a full update yesterday like in another month or so after I get. The other team is installed to see. If I liked the experience to see if those held up, compare and contrast that kind of thing, let me know if you'd like to see that in the comment section down below but yeah, that's all I have for you guys today. I hope you enjoyed this video in some way. I hope it was helpful. I hope you're all having an amazing day an amazing week and I'll talk to you soon. Bye,
