How To Apply Tape In Hair Extensions | At Home

Hey guys, what's up today, I'm going to be filming a how to apply tape, an extension this video I have been wearing two pin extensions for probably four years - and I do my friends extensions - that she does mine. It'S a really nice trade off. So I'm going to show you my tips and tricks and how I personally apply them: the hair that I've been using it's from Bombay hair. They have a, I guess, a storefront in Richmond you can like get going to the video, then okay. So these are the extensions that we're going to be using today. Sam use them one other time last summer, so they still have quite a few uses left out of them. I'M going to show you how to retake them, and also its featuring my really nice princess banding that I got today these ones right now we're quite sticky because they still have the tape on them. So a good tip, if you let them air out like this, then it's a little bit easier. But you can just take your finger, push up on the tape and it comes right off. I suggest taking off the tape before you reapply new tape, because it's gon na be kind of bulky and gross. Here are the pieces that I picked up from Sally's. It kinda worked great, so I just take one off and I place it right on the top band of the tape after you have taken off that hold taste. If you had one on there and then you take off the white piece, so once you've read tape, all your extensions you can get going with systems natural hair, it's really beautiful as is, but we are gon na add a little bit of length. So I'm gon na start at the nape and create a nice clean section. I find each person is a little bit different. I can't go to blow on my neat because I find it gets irritated, but some people can go pretty low and also depends. If you wear your hair up, if you wear your hair up, you're, not gon na, want it too low on the nape because it would show so I went and I took a nice clean section. I took a thin line of hair and I place the tape underneath pull the hair down, push it down with my tail comb and then you've sandwich the top piece on top, and then you can just hold it nice and tight so that the glue locks with The hair, so in case I am a bad at explaining this. I am going to show what I'm doing quite a few times here so from that first section: I'm taking a thin slice of hair, placing the extension underneath with the tape off pushing it into the hair and then taking your top tape and sang-jin it over top. I'M starting with these two at the bottom and then I'm going to create another section and do a brick layering effect. It really depends what you are trying to achieve. If you are just adding body, you might just want to put some of those tapes in the middle section of the hair, but when you're creating length, you usually want to do about a full head of tape so that it doesn't look stringy and that's what we're Doing with Sam's hairs we're creating late, so I went and I took that first tape and I put it in the middle because the other two tapes are on the side. So I'm focusing on creating a brick layer effect. I'Ve got the two tapes there, I'm going to put one more on the side. One thing to remember is to not make it too tight to the scalp, and it is too tight. You'Re gon na get tension bumps or little red bumps. That will appear where the tape is so try to keep it just off the scalp. You don't want it too far down, but you definitely don't want it to be really tight to themself. So we're done another layer, I'm gon na take a nice clean section just above that brick layer, three extension that I put in below and you just continue doing the same thing: slicing a thin slice of hair. You want to make sure that there is enough hair that it's not really pulling on a couple strands, but you also don't want it to be a thick sandwich of hair, where the two pieces of sandwich or glue aren't adhering to each other. So just a nice thin slice like that one there and then make it nice and clean and place the sandwich. On top. I have seen some hairdressers heating up each sandwich with a straightening iron. I find that is totally not necessary that it sticks just perfectly without that, and then I find that it's also really hard to remove. When you do that, so I wouldn't recommend straightening. Each bond continue doing the same process. I keep looking to see where the other tapes are and then I will put the next tape kind of in again a very clear effect above that, hopefully you can understand the bricklayer effect just from visualizing, where the other tapes are underneath. You can see underneath there and I'm putting one in between work. Your way up the head and always be cautious of how much hair is left over, because you want to make sure that there's enough hair to be covering the extensions at all time without being worried about it. But you also don't want to end up eating a mullet effect. Isn'T done, I'm gon na focus on her side pieces now and see where she needs some more length so that it all blends nicely and put in some side pieces, and then you can go in and trim them so they're kind of angled and they work nicely On the side, I find doing any type of extension, it's very visual. So it's looking at your client and figuring out where they need extra body or extra length and then going from there and placing the extensions in the specific spots that it works. When I'm doing the side pieces, I'm creating a section more of an angle, you can see that the angle is kind of going upwards. I found that it works better on the sides when they are a bit more angled. That way, when you're pulling the hair back and stuff, it works a little bit nicer, so my biggest tip is just to assess the hair figure out how it looks if there's anywhere, that it needs some more volume or length, I'm just out of it. So this is what Sam's hair looks like with the extensions put in they match really well and I'm gon na go in and just cut off a bit of the ends so that it looks nice and healthy and everything blends nicely, but nothing crazy. Hopefully, you could learn something from it. You can do it at home as well, because it is super easy once you get the hang of it anything that leave me a little bit of something-something down there. I worth my band-aid finger and I will see you guys later. Bye Trixie would love to get teaming extensions if she could, but her natural hair is not quite long enough for them. It'S not as common. I like started: I like shining - I, like million bucks, I'm hi there hi yeah, welcome to the Chan today today, yeah we're gon na. Do some hair um we're gon na make it longer and we're gon na make it fabulous. So if you do just keep watching and it'll be really good. Okay,
