Pros & Cons: | Tape In Hair Extensions!

Hey guys welcome back to my channel, so today we have kind of a hair related video and this one's going to be the pros and the cons of Capon hair extensions. So I just recently had tape and hair extensions, and I wanted to do a pros and cons video talking about what I like about on and what I didn't like about them. So I did already remove them. So there will be a removal, video on how I did it and how I took these out of my hair. So I wanted to do a pros and cons video talking about the good and the bad, because I know a lot of you who are considering getting payments probably want to know why they were that, like what sucks of autumn what's good about them. So I'm here to give you that pros and cons video today, so I might as well just start with the pros of them. I have them in for about five weeks total before I took them out and one of the instant pros that I noticed when I got my tape. Ins in is the instant volume and length that it gives to your hair. Oh, my gosh, I have pretty thin hair. This is all my natural hair and it is pretty thin. I do have a lot of hair, but it's definitely more on the thin side and it is a little bit more complicated to get that full big hair. Look with just my natural hair, another pro to having tape and hair extensions is. They are super easy to apply yourself at home. You don't necessarily need to go to a hair stylist. You don't need to go to an extension expert. They aren't pretty easy to do, especially if you have someone else there to help you, especially with the back of your head. I definitely recommend having someone with you to do the back of your head. That way, it's just easier and you don't have to worry about doing it by looking at a mirror behind you, but and you can save a ton of money. If you just have someone help you do it at home. I did do a video on how I applied them myself. Another pro that I have to tape in is that they do have a considerably long time, especially for like a semi-permanent extension. You can make your tape in, depending on the and I kind of hear that you get you can get your tape and slap up to eight to twelve weeks depending on how well you take care of them as well. They do obviously come with a lot of maintenance and a lot of care which I will get into and later on in this video, but they do last a pretty long time, especially if you are someone who color treats your hair like I do eight to twelve Weeks is a perfect amount of time, because then, when you take them out, you can get your roots touched up. So I think eight to twelve weeks is a pretty good, lengthy amount of time. Another program has to tape in is that they do stay in really really well. I know when I have them in, I could brush my hair, pull my hair braid, my hair. I could do whatever I wanted to my hair and not one of them came loose as long as you apply them correctly, and you have the tape and the amount right amount of hair, and you use a little bit of heat to seal the glue. They aren't going anywhere until you remove that yourself, which that is another thing that I wanted to add to the pros that they are really easy to remove. They do sit in well, but when it does come time to remove them, it's literally so easy. I was able to remove mine myself, which you guys will see in the removal video once I upload it. Another really cool thing about taping is they're, just like real human hair. The brand I had was my irresistible me and they are 100 % real human hair. You can watch them, cut them style and curl them diagnose what ever you want to do to them? It'S super easy to do. I was able to do pretty much anything with them that I would normally do with my real hair. The only thing that would be a little challenging is, if you do, color treat your hair and your roots start to come in. It'S probably not going to be very easy to touch up your roots with tape in so that's probably the only thing that you couldn't do, but pretty much anything else you can imagine you can do with tape pins. You can put your hair up really easily. I was able to wear my hair in ponytails in buns, pretty much any hairstyle that I wanted to, and the tape ins really kind of worked with my hair, and I was able to put it up, so it was really easy for work. Another thing is that it looks just like real hair. No one really knew I had Capon until they notice the length and the volume in my hair. No one can really tell that. I had extensions then, so they look super natural as long as you apply them in the right and you have the right color. Moving on to the tons of having tape ins, I only have a couple of cons. I noticed through my experience with tape ins. I know some people may be different, but for me the pros definitely outweigh the console me personally, I think tapings are definitely worth it. I would definitely do it again. I will say, though, after having them removed, my it feels really good to have like nothing and touching my scalp like. I will definitely take a break for a while before I apply more in, but the number one con that I noticed with taping is the maintenance. They are so much work and the reason I say that so much work for me because, with my hair, my hair usually always just looks like this. It'S always down it's straight. It'S not like. I never style my hair ever, but once I got taping I noticed the amount of work it takes to keep them nice-looking. They require a ton of brushing you have to condition them. Another comment that it can be expensive to purchase all of the hair and to go to a salon to get it done. You'Re looking at close to four to five hundred dollars, depending on who you go to and what kind of hair you get. So it can be pretty expensive. I once sent my tapings for free for a review for you guys, so I personally have experienced the price tag of having them, but if I were to purchase more or go to a salon and have them do it, it definitely would be a little bit more On the expensive side, another thing I noticed that kind of sucked about having tape in is how heavy they are. Oh, my gosh. So if you're someone who has pretty thin hair like I do, you definitely notice a weight difference between your hair and having like two and a half packs of tapings put in when I showered for the first time with my tape ins, it literally felt like I Had a 10-pound weight hanging from my head, they were just super super heavy. I took a very long time to get used to how heavy my hair was so that can be kind of straining on your neck and it can take a little bit to get used to. But if you're someone who has thick hair - and you just want to get it for length, you probably won't notice much of a difference in weight. The second to last con that I have when it comes to taping, is sometimes the tracks can show, and you don't know it again, this all kind of plays in with the sin harrassing. So if I don't use my hair in the right spot, sometimes I would have a couple tracks in the back. That would show which can make it a little awkward if you're in public and people behind your leg girl. What is in your hair. So then you have to explain. I have tape in favilla. So definitely when you have been here and you get tapings, it does require a little bit of teasing to kind of put over certain tracks that, like to peek through that's one thing that kind of sucks. I have like one in the back of my head that would constantly always show, and it drove me nuts and then the very last con that I have for tape and extensions, and this one takes the cake - and this is also another reason why I removed them. Early - and it's also kind of plays in with maintenance as well, is the amount of knotting that happens in your hair holy crap. You guys, if you do not brush your hair section by section, making sure you're getting all the hair brushed out every single day. Sometimes 20, today you will end up with what happened to me, which is nodding. I had about a good two-inch knots, matted knot in the back of my head. That I did not know was there and it took forever to brush out and then that's also kind of when I made a decision to take them out a little bit early, because I didn't want the nodding to get any worse. So pretty much. I just took out all my extensions and it took oh, my gosh me and my sister we're sitting there for maybe a half hour to an hour, trying to brush out all of the nuts so again that kind of plays in with the maintenance. If you're not used to taking care of your hair or doing things with your hair Express a lot of nodding, because that is for sure going to happen, if you don't keep your hairbrush out, someone did tell me that nodding is normal when it comes to taken, But I didn't think it was ever supposed to get that severe. So just keep that in mind that when you do get tapings, you will experience a little bit of nodding if you don't brush out each section of hair perfectly okay, everyone, sighs everything that I have for my pros and cons of tape and extension. I really hope this was helpful to some of you out there who are maybe considering getting K pins, who maybe don't know if you want them yet or maybe, if you do want them, maybe this kind of you made up your mind. This was just my own personal experience with them.
