$20 Tape In Extensions From Amazon

Hi hello and welcome to my tiny corner of Internet. Today, I'm going to be attempting to put taping extensions in my hair that were $ 20 on Amazon. What could go wrong? I actually haven't even opened to these, so I'm opening them live, live unboxing now so unboxing these sketchy tape and extensions fingers crossed this is work. I'M praying so like that. Hmm don't feel too bad, I'm not quite as scared. Now click the color matches pretty dang. Well, they might be a little bit darker, but it was this one or the medium brown which looked way too light. So I think this will work pretty well. These were twenty dollars each like twenty-two dollars or something like that. They'Re called the elite. This isn't in no way sent to me for free, and I just wanted to try these out I'll link it in the description, a link to these specific ones. I have a whole bunch of different colors, like black, all the way to white blonde. The reviews were actually really good, which is why I went with these ones. There were like a lot of photos of people wearing them before and afters, and a lot of people saying that the quality was really good and they lasted a long time for being twenty dollars. Like I don't expect much, I mostly I'm just bored and want to try something, even if it only lasts for like a month. It'S like it was twenty dollars. So it's fine. These ones are the 16 inch tape hair in the color number two. So this is like the darkest Brown right before it goes into the black shades. Thank you for your order. In each pack you get twenty little pieces, so there's 20 pieces, but you're supposed to take two of them and like squish them together with your hair in between so really it's like ten areas, it said, like one pack for like minimum volume like two to three Packs for regular and then like four packs for thick when you have like really short hair like this, you need pretty thick extensions to compensate, but I didn't want to spend like 80 bucks on these before I actually felt them and like actually saw that they were Good quality, so I only got two I figure when I wear my other extensions. I only have like one row across the top one row on the bottom and then like little ones right here, so I don't know we'll see how it goes worst case scenario. I can just put some along the top and then, if I want to get another pack I'll fill in the bottom, mostly I just wanted to try something new. You know having short brown bobbed hair with no bangs was definitely the most boring hair. I'Ve ever had - and I know that I did this to myself - I'm not complaining this is I had to do in order to grow out my natural color and allow my hair to actually start growing. It actually has grown a lot when I cut it. It was about at my chin and it's almost hitting my shoulders. It'S hitting my shoulders in the back and it's like kind of curling in right now, but it's like almost on my shoulders. So I don't hate it by any means. It'S like kind of fun to do something different, but it definitely gets boring on a day to day basis. I have clipping extensions that I got that are okay, but I wanted to try taping extensions. I don't think I've tried taping extensions. I have had basically every type of extension Under the Sun, every different brand type, the ones where you have the bead, the eye tip that you like to use a heat tool to attach so many different clip in extensions. I think I have tried taping extensions, but it was just so long ago, and I don't think I did it right. I'Ve done glue-in extensions, oh my god, what an actual nightmare those are. So you can pretty much already tell that this probably ain't gon na be enough for my whole head before I buy more. I want to apply them and actually see if they're good, they feel good, they feel smooth and they don't feel like synthetic. So these are supposed to be a human hair tape in 100 % premium human hair. So that's so far, so good colors good, pretty impressed so far. Actually, so this is what we have to work with. I'Ve got 40 pieces total. I should probably watch a video of like how to do this, but I think for the most part I get the idea. You just make a part in your hair. I think I'm gon na start at the top and work my way down. So I'm basically just gon na make a part where I want them to be, and then I'm gon na take a tiny little bit of hair, probably not go all the way to the edge, but I'll take a tiny bit of hair nice thin piece, and I Will attach the tape in tape side up here, put the hair down and then tape side down, attach the other one I'm just gon na go for it like what could go wrong. Okay, I need clips. So I'm gon na take one piece and you can see that, like one side doesn't have any stickiness to it and then the other side has a little flap that you pull off and it has sticky adhesive underneath. Let me get a tiny comb. Okay, so I got one of these combs so that I can pick out the pieces, I'm just gon na kind of measure where it's gon na go like I said I don't want to put it too close to the edge. Then it'll stick out so I'm gon na put this one here. I'M just gon na take a little bit of hair and then somehow pull this flap off. This is not gon na, be easy with nails and then tape side up, you're, just gon na lay it. I'M not gon na put it like, like, I could put it a hundred percent all the way to my scalp, but I'm gon na put it down just a touch, because I don't want to just stick out so there's one piece and then I'm gon na take A second piece, and I'm gon na put it as close to exactly on top as possible. So altogether. I have two pieces here pretty good and I just want to make sure that it's not getting caught on other hair so that there's some flexibility with being able to move it. Okay, not bad. I have one piece complete at this point: I'm just gon na repeat it around until I have a complete layer, add this height and then we'll kind of check in from there. I think the key here is not to put too much hair in between the two pieces, because then it will have like not enough stickiness to stick to it. The other piece, so just a really thin layer of hair for it to actually stick on to something. But not too much that it's like not sticky, so yeah wish me luck, okay, so I just finished putting all of them in and, unfortunately I think I need more. I did like to grow full rows of them all the way around, and then I added like two on this side and two on this side and just like a couple up here and I haven't really put any in the bottom, so yeah like the entire bottom. Half doesn't have any, but for not having like cut or styled them at all. You feeling pretty good, like obviously I'm gon na have to layer them and then style them, but purchased being put straight in. You can kind of see like where my hair has faded. So I'm gon na have to read I the bottom parts of my hair. That was a lot harder to do than I expected, I would say my biggest problem or tip. I guess that i came across while doing that was when you're sectioning, a piece of hair to put in between the pieces. Don'T take a piece. That'S like the same width as the extension. Does that make sense like this is like the same width as the piece you want to make one? That'S like just the middle so like when you put them together. The two edges can just stick to each other with no hair in between that was the move, and also what that did was helped immensely with being able to see where it was because another big problem was, i would like, have the piece ready and place the Extension and then put the hair over it, but then, like once, I put the hair over it. I couldn't see where it was anymore like at all, and so I just kind of had to guess and slap it on and then feel if the edges were connected and I had to take a couple of them off and reapply them because they were so off. So only doing the middle makes it, so you can see like the shiny edges on each side and then it's much easier to place other than that it seemed pretty straightforward. I am gon na order, one more pack to put on the bottom, but for now I'm just going to cut some layers into these I'll, probably take the length down to about 14 inches just want like medium length hair. So I am going to trim these down and then I'll tile them and do my makeup and give my final thoughts. Okay, so I'm finished cutting and styling the hair, I'm just doing the last bit of oh, my god, okay, my makeup lipstick on okay, looking pretty good! So now, let's unclip, I think they came out pretty good, I'm pretty happy with the result. I did take a little bit off about an inch and a half and I didn't cut too much just a little bit. I just wanted to add some layers you can see like there's some pieces. I basically just like grabbed pieces from the top and then, where my hair ends, I would start putting little layers around the whole top, but you know overall for the price. So altogether these were $ 44 total for both sets. I don't know how like many grams, it is, it doesn't say that anywhere, but it feels like a good amount. Yeah pretty pretty happy with this result should we do some glamour shots so overall, I think these are totally worth the price $ 44 for two sets. I probably will end up getting a third set Co future Phoenix here. Sorry, I'm ugly again! I just wanted to pop in for a second and update you, because I did end up getting the third pack of extensions. I put them in last night. I film the original video like two days ago, so I thought may as well just show you guys what this looks like. It definitely looks a lot better. I filled out most of the bottom with the additional 10 pieces. Here'S a quick little 360 but yeah. That was it just wanted to let you know and resume original video yeah. They were tricky to put in, but you figure it out. You know the ones where you can see are easy. It'S just like where you can't see it's pretty tough to line them up correctly. So if you just had like one person help you at the back, that would make it a lot easier. I think they feel very secure. You know when you have like clip in extensions and you're trying to style them and they just kind of like pull away from your head and they don't obviously feel like they're your real hair, because they're not but also they're, just like kind of loosely clipped. These like art, in how that hurts, but they're like not going anywhere and they feel like my real hair. If I were to just pull it back right into a pony or like a bun, completely invisible, and it feels it doesn't feel like it's pulling. So I'm a pretty big fan of this product and just probably taping extensions in general um. Obviously I can't speak to how well they hold up after being washed. They are supposed to stay in pretty well, they will naturally slide down. You can buy additional tape, so you like get a remover and remove them. Take the tape off the extensions, put a new piece of tape in and you can reapply them so put them back up. Who knows, if we'll actually keep these around long enough to do that, but you never know I'm pretty stoked on these. I'M excited to be able to just like fall asleep with these in and wake up. Looking the same so yeah, that's pretty much all I have to say about this experience here. Pretty happy. Yeah definitely would recommend if you just like, want to try something, but clip-ins are kind of just like they don't really feel like a big change, because they're just clipped in like this feels like I have brand new hair and like it's not going anywhere. So it's like exciting yeah. Let me know if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them, but hopefully I covered everything and that's it so thanks for stopping by - and I will see you in the next one - bye, hi, hello and mm - I can't speak. I haven't spoken words yet today that sound weird still, hmm also sorry, I look like boo boo, I'm gon na do my makeup. After this I wanted it to like go from, like you know, gremlin to like less of a gremlin. Oh, could you move your tail? Shh, okay, well, whatever that was it's gone forever now, supposedly they are supposed to supposedly there's posts.
