*Detailed* Half Tape-In Extensions/Half Sew-In Install On Natural Hair Ft. She Slays First Hair

Foreign and welcome, or welcome back to another video, so y'all in today's video, I'm gon na, be doing something pretty new for me something kind of creative, interesting. Whatever I'm going to be doing a you, have taping half sewing install and listen. I decided to do this because I feel like it's very versatile and also, if you one of those people who kind of still want the very you know flexible, look without having all of your hair out. Then this is for you and so let me go ahead and show you all the hair that I'll be using and I'll make sure I link everything in the description box. So you don't have to worry about. You know: hey where'd, you get this from it's gon na, be in the description box. So first things first I'll be using two bundles of this kinky straight tape ends and I believe, they're 40 pieces total. I may not use all of them since, like I said I'll, be doing half sew in, and this is actually from my personal line, so that'll be available in the description box as well, and this is in 18 inches and then for the sewing portion. These are just some bundles that I found in my closet, but I'll make sure I link some below, for you guys to be able to you know, access them and get you a little bundle so without further Ado, let's go ahead and get into it. So, first things: first, when getting started with this style, the very the most important part is The Parting. So how you part your hair and a rule of thumb I use, is, I always part off my middle part first, because I know for a fact I'll be using that part, and then I go ahead and kind of as y'all can see like pull a slight Little tiny piece in between the middle part and the side part, and I put all of that together so that way I know that I'm able to flip from middle part to side part and then a roll of thumb to follow when you're parting for your tape. In is to at least leave um two fingers width of space around your perimeter. So that way, your hair will be able to cover the tape in a way that you can also test this and which you'll see me through the do this throughout the video is get the Silver Tip or the steel tip of your rat tail comb and flip. Your hair back and forth to see, if that amount of hair that you're going to be using as leave out, can actually cover the Combs. You shouldn't even be able to see the still piece on the comb, and so that's how you know that you have enough hair parted off to cover your lip balm. So you'll see me using that around like the thinner Parts, which is you know, like your perimeter, your edges and in the back. You can't really see as well, so it is safe to just go ahead and do your two fingers with then. Lastly, you see me going through and sectioning off this piece. This is just to ensure I don't go too far up in the middle of my head with the tape in so that way I still have hair that'll be able to cover the tape ends once I'm done and also mind you, I am doing a half tape In half sew in this is going to make it easier. So that way, when I go through um to do the middle, like the back middle of my head, I won't have to worry about seeing because it's a whole lot easier to sew without looking than it is to section and part. Super duper thin parts for tapings. Without looking so, if you guys are wondering well, I decided to do kind of like a hybrid style, half sew-in, half tape in that's. Why in it and those of you who have tried to do tape-ins around your entire head and know how hard it can be to even try to find a setup for you to see the back in the middle of your head? So I'm pretty sure that this method would be a whole lot easier for y'all, so yeah now getting started. This part is definitely optional, but I decided to go through on the back and like the most of the perimeter of my head and go ahead and apply some tape ends. I think I really wanted to do that. Just in case, my sew-in part wasn't as seamless and flat as I wanted to be, so that way at least I would still have tape ends to not only um cover my hair, but also cover any anywhere like the sew-in was like lacking. If that makes sense. So y'all just see me go through the bottom half of my head and just go ahead and apply these tapes and when you're applying the tapes try not to apply them directly on the scalp. So that way, your hair has room to like move freely without like snagging or pulling off and then make sure when you put the tape on that, you don't have too too much hair, it's better to have less hair. So that way, the tape can stick properly, because if you have too much hair, then you'll notice that you're going to have trouble with the tapes closing down properly or even staying together. And so, if your tapes are having trouble stick taking, then that most likely means that your parts have way too much hair in them. I'M getting into the sewing portion of this. I went ahead and just braided my hair down like a regular, regular sew-in, but I usually don't use a net when I sew in so I wanted to try to use a net this time because, hopefully it was going to let me you know sew that track A little better than it usually goes when you have braids, especially if you're, not that good at braiding. I think I would really recommend a net. So that way you know, it'll fill in whatever is lacking with the braids and so the bundle I'm using for my hair, I'm actually using one bundle of body wave which I'll link all the details of where you can get this hair in the description box down Below, if you do have Type 4 hair, I definitely recommend you guys checking out this kinky straight texture that I'm wearing, because it Blended so good, but the body wave just had to fill in because child, I just needed a bundle, and that was the closest one. To me, so I'm only using one bundle of this. That'S all I really needed, because this was a really really small part in one bundle was literally perfect for this section Give It Up foreign, then, once I finished sewing that whole track down. I went ahead and added one more row of tapes over the tracks once again, because I don't know, I just feel like it added a more seamless flat, look to the style, having tapes just fall right on over it rather than you know, maybe like a little Hum or something so yeah, that's why I went ahead and added tape over this part, maybe doing too much, but you know do what works for you, but this worked for me so yeah. I added tapes right there, and this also worked out really good for blending purposes as well, because remember this hair, the tape ends. Hair is kinky straight in the bundle of his body wave. So by going in with that, kinky straight tape ends. On top of the body wave hair that helped my hair blend so much better, because, obviously my hair, my natural texture, matches the kinky straight more than it does body weight. So that's also another reason why I went ahead and put that on top hey. That would happen. Last but not least, we are at the front of my head, as you can see, and up here. This is where I kind of start going in with my tapings at an angle, and I do this so that way, I'm able to effortlessly pull my hair up into a ponytail, and so this part you're, really just gon na, have to like play the game and Just keep verifying as you're adding pieces in, and so what I mean by that is every time you add a piece in make sure you're able to flip it up, and it's able to you know, go back and forth on until you want also make sure you're Able to comb your part down and your part is going to cover this hair as well. So just do that and I mean luckily, tapings is not one of those time consuming um installs or anything. It goes by really really fast. So luckily you do have the time to you know, go through and verify make sure all your pieces are in there correctly and you know yeah foreign I'm just going through and straightening out this hair of my timer straightener brush and y'all. Just look at how smooth and Sleek this hair gets and it Blends so good with my natural hair, I'm so happy. I found this here, I'm so happy. I found this texture all the information about this hair that I'm wearing will be linked in the description box. Down below it is from sheesladespurs.com so be sure to go check that out in the description box below but yeah stay tuned for the final look foreign. So here is the final look and y'all. I love it like. When I tell y'all, I should have thought of this ahead of time, because it was so much faster and it's just so much easier just to do like sewing in the bag and tapings around the perimeter, and I only have five minutes left in my SD card. So I'm gon na go ahead and just give y'all a look of you know how the layout is looking and then I'll show you all the different parts I can do so as y'all can see. I used two different textures as I showed y'all in the beginning. I have the kinky straight, which is from my line, and then I have some random body wave hair in my head, because that's the only bundle I had and so around here in the middle, don't get on my sewing techniques, but shout out. So this is where the sewing is, and then all around the perimeter is where I have the tape ends, and so this is just to show you guys how I have them laid in there. All of my tape, ins are in my hair at an angle, especially the ones that are closest to where my leave out is, and the angle is so important when you're doing a stop, because you need to be able to pull it up into a ponytail at An angle, and so with that being said, y'all saw me, do the whole parting, where I part out my middle part and then I do it a little different. I, like a middle part and a side part, so I part out my middle and then I also part out the side, leaving everything in between I'm gon na put a tape in between that. So that's why that's just to clear up any of like the confusing parting, whatever um and then once I before. I did the sew in around the perimeter as y'all. So I'm just kind of reiterating I went around my perimeter and I put like basically a whole line of tapings. So if you see here, you see the line of tape ends and then you see where I started someone, and I did that so that way, if all fails, the tape ends can still cover like whatever track may be, showing or anything like that and last, but Not least before I close this video out, I just want to show y'all all the little angles really quickly, so we have side part. Obviously, then, we also have the middle part, which is what I'm going to be wearing my hair in, and I like to do it where it fits into both. Obviously equally, then I also have it where I can pull it up into a ponytail. Then obviously, obviously, if I can do a ponytail, then I can do a bun and for my buns I literally just twist around like that and then we'll have to cover this piece but get into it.
