How To Use Tape In Hair Extensions To Disguise Broken Damaged Hair!

Hey guys welcome back to my channel so today my girl, steph, is back. You guys probably remember her. I don't even think we ever did a youtube video together, but her hair was blonde and it ended up getting really damaged because she had permanent, color and banding and stuff. So it took money sessions and she's, my friend, so we pushed the limits and we loved it and now she's so gray, and i did her hair like a couple weeks ago and you can already see the gray coming in and that was a week ago. You guys so we took her darker because she had um coveted and after that, her hair. You hear about all these people having hair loss and breakage and her body's not retaining nutrients. So you can see how beautiful this is. I did this with a foil conversion. We did um a full low light and then i packed in a paint between and look how beautiful that color is so we know that's going to lighten up a little bit and you can never bleach extension. So we got two bags of tape. Ins, one! That'S called the brown batter, which is about a level five seven highlight low light, and then we have the um level three four, so we're gon na piggyback them and do the dark one on the bottom and the light one on the top and we're gon na Give her some length to see all this hair, that's small, and this will just give her time to get her hair healthy again and we're not going to stay away from the blonde. You know we're not we're going to go back she's already talking about it. We just did this last week, so if you want to watch this tape in application and how i do it on short, hair and hair, that's really layered and breakage and damage and how to make it look all universal and come together. Then keep watching hey guys! Welcome back so today i have a really good, in-depth tutorial for you guys with tape and extensions. You know i've been diving into the extension around a little bit lately. I do um open to the public now and i've been getting a lot of clients coming in, and i have a lot of my clients who are interested in them as well and we have them booked for consultations, but steph we took our blonde. We never did a video on youtube that i recall, but she came in with bands. Her hair was always thick and long and luscious, but band after band after band of black permanent dye and red spots everywhere, because she loves changing her hair color and we did around eight to ten sessions to get her blonde. And let me just state, you know disclaimer the things we did to her hair. I wouldn't do to just any paying client stephanie's a good friend of mine. Since i was younger, we were able to push the limits a little bit more with her because she wanted to and she's my friend and i knew that it was a learning experience and i was down for it and i would never go too far, but um. It came out beautiful, we got our blonde. Finally, it blended with the gray seamlessly and then she got covered after covid. She had extreme nutrition issues couldn't eat for about a month. Her hair was falling out in clumps, on top of it already being brittle from all the lightener and all that stuff. It was just not a good scene, it got very thin, it started breaking off, so we took about a four to five month. Break didn't put bleach on it, didn't even touch our roots. Now we're back. We ended up taking her to a foil conversion and we made her nice and brunette, and now today we're going to use tape and extensions to give her some length and get her back to feeling normal. We purchased two bags of 16 inch tape and extensions one's a highlight, low, light around a level five low light around a six seven highlight, and then we have the level three four dark base: color and i'm piggy backing them. So i'm doing the dark color underneath light color on top. If we want it more dimension and a little bit more depth, i would do it. You know every other back and forth, but we want it to have some highlight in there, because the thing is, she even thought it was weird because the color looked a lot lighter, and i told her to trust me because what's gon na happen, we did her Color a week ago, she's only washed it once her hair is porous from all the damage, so it sucked that color up and it will release so that color is going to fade and it's going to warm up. I'Ve used a similar color. I think the highlight low light color on my client before winter we've had it for about a year, and i have not touched her ends once since we took her dark. So i already predicted and see what this is going to end up doing. That'S why today it ends up blending seamlessly, but, as time goes on over the next few weeks, her hair will start lightening up a little bit more and make it even more seamless. I hope that makes sense all right guys. So now we got most of the main parameter filled in now. It'S time to go in and take about half a bag left and fill in gaps. So there's no real gaps as you go. You brickline, so i start down here. I'Ll. Do three in a row see there's one there one here one here, then, where those empty spots are in between them. The next row i feel back in so then you start filling in gaps. You always want to make sure that they're always overlapping another one. No matter where they are in the hair, so you don't see any gapping or holes in the depth of the hair and as they get up higher and higher. Now i got all the bases covered now i'm going to go in and fill in spots like right here you can see she had some breakage there, so i'm going to put one right here. You want to go too high, but you want to put one here: steph has thick hair other than you know the breakage when her hair goes back, it'll be thick again, but i can get away with this because she can hide it. So we want to go up a little bit and just try to hide some of these really short hair, as you can see so i go in and i've been putting the dark one on the um underneath and i do the light one on the top. The whole entire time, if i want more depth, i would probably do vice versa. Every other time i go in, i always tap with my finger making sure i don't get any oil on it and then i take my comb and i rub it to make sure all those hairs are sticking. Then i clean up the corners and then whatever hair doesn't stick. You want to make sure you really section it off, because that will cause damage if you don't, because it will be loose hair in the middle, and i take the lighter color. I just put it on top make sure they match up, there's nothing worse than having them not match up, because they'll fall right out sooner and make sure you squeeze. Sometimes i don't even do two hands. She has to care. That'S why i'm doing it usually i'll go like this, and it's fine just make sure it's lie down and i always come through it when i'm done to make sure it's holding it well, so that went in and now you can see how already it's starting to Look better in that spot and she has a little cowlick here, so you want to make sure that you're visualizing aware of everything going on so now. That'S looking good, i think i'm gon na put one here. As you can see, we have a little bit of that, so it's all about what you visualize as a creative artist. So we'll do one here and keep in mind and remind your client that once you wash the hair and they blow dry at the first time, it's going to expand it's going to become even fuller. Some people like to put water on and blow dry before they apply, like you know, put it in the head. I don't but um. If they air dry, it will just look nice and naturally, wavy and steph has all this breakage, so we're gon na have to flat iron that, but you can see how everything's coming together and it looks like we have like that darkness that blends down into light. So it looks really really cool i'll put one over here around the same area and you can also put them on diagonals and slants. I feel that's the best because the head's round, so you always want to just make sure you follow your gut. What you think you want to do some people say you're not supposed to do anything but horizontal i've done the slant all the time, especially around the front. So it brings it to the front and i've never had an issue with it. Just make sure if you do this, see how there's a lot of hair in between there that i'm going to clean up and make sure nothing. That'S not sticking is out of there, but i just rub my finger: make sure you have no oil on your hands or anything. Then i go like this and you can see all that hair right. There didn't stick, so you want to go in and make sure you clean it up, because if you don't it will fall off easier and, and then this is the last one after this and of course clients are addicted already at this point, so you want to Use all the hair, i've never had a person say, don't use it all. I'M going to take a look at her head now. I notice right here. This side has a little bit more breakage, so i'm gon na probably put one right here, but you don't want to get too close to the hairline. There'S always a place where i try to follow. But sometimes you have to do detail work. You can see how broken it is right here, so i have to put one there and then we'll slide it and everything she's not going to be wearing her hair up in public anyway, right now, because of all the damage. So it's okay and, like i said i can go a little higher like this, because she has the thickness to hide it and i'm gon na just put one right here, just so that we have and when you do it on a slight diagonal like this, it Brings everything forward and you don't need to use as much in this area make sure you actually use a good amount of hair when you're about to apply it, because i find, if you use too much thinness of hair, it's around the hairline, it's usually thinner. It will fall out or it won't hold well remind your clients, also to make sure they use a wet brush or a brush and start like an inch or two down from the root. You never want to use the comb because you will. This is their first time with tape ends. They will comb those extensions right out of the pad and see how close it is but see how it moves it's movable. So if they want to put it back, steph will only put this up when she's home. You can see this is all damaged, but even as it starts growing next time she can be like brett. I didn't like it here. Let'S place it a little bit back or a little bit further, because you can see all this broken shortness there, but it wouldn't go all the way that close. So now, that's a lot better so that when i do the face frame, look at that you guys! No gaps now the best part is to cut it. She wants to keep it as long as possible, so we're just literally going to make sure everything's even and steph has thick hair. So we only did the two bags because her hair was broken. So we don't really need to slide much right here, like i said, we're going to use a flat iron and as our hair starts getting healthy again, we can always go in and add another bag. So we want to start out with the two look at this ponytail that she's not used to having for a long time or even if she wants to wear it low like that or in a bun like this, it's really cute. So i made sure that the hair is even not pulling everything forward and see how the two bags was just realistic right now, because steph had a lot of damage so as her hair gets thicker and thicker as it grows in, you can see a stick up Here because it's healthier hair, it's going to get bigger and thicker, then we can add another bag, but she didn't need that right now and always with her. I'M going to keep it blunt because we want it to look thicker. I never really suggest you know not point cutting when you're doing extensions, always point cut, but in her situation she has thick thick hair. Naturally, so we want to make sure - and this is my favorite part - is the slide cut this side's, not as bad as the other one was so i take this right here and where her hair ends, i just slowly go in and out open, close open, close On a close - and this is what makes it look so real - you can do it a hundred times, take a little at a time, see she's starting to have bangs for looking, which is amazing, so you don't want to get crazy with it, but just that little Face frame right here, as you can see a lot of people like. Oh my god, it's got all this money on here. Why are we cutting it? Yes and all i did for because she went all the length was just made it even at the ends, because all of them are the same length and they're putting on different parts of the head. You have to even a um, so it's probably like half an inch and all we're going to do is a little face frame for her, and these little bags can go like this once we style the back and then it gives us like that nice little. It'S just cute and now i'll do the other side. I know right, isn't it funny how i need to pay attention where the and the key is to keep it open and close, open and close on the clothing? I keep my finger in between like this, so that it doesn't cut anything by accident. I had a client sneeze once when i was doing her face frame that didn't turn out pretty, and the best thing about tapes is the next time she comes in. She could be like i want more here. I want one here. I want one less here, move this one here, it's all custom for your client yeah. There are certain placements that you can learn in the beginning and everybody has a similar placement, but once you do it, then the client feels and wears it. They'Ll know if they want some change, see. Look how perfect that looks. Everybody has a thicker side. This that's thicker side. Naturally, that's why i put the extra tape there, this side's her thinner side and you can see how that's perfect as well and, like i said next time she comes in and says i want more on this side. We can do it so now we're done we're going to flat iron the top, and we at the end you guys see how just doing this little flat iron part was trick. You don't want to curl the short pieces like this, because then they're going to stick out and do weird things. Look how much better that looks on stuff now so much better, even without doing this, it blends, but you want to be perfect. I'M a perfectionist right! That'S right and there you guys have it look, how beautiful these results came out. My baby lights blend so well with that thicker stitch of the highlights on the extensions and it all melts together like a beautiful melting pot, it all blends so seamless with her damaged hair as it gets thicker we will add another bag. Let me know down below what you guys think of this tutorial. Let me know if you liked it subscribe, do all that good stuff and i'll see you in the next one, as always guys so long for now. Oh my god, my highlights merge into it. So freaking well
