Turn Bundles Into Tape-In Extensions | Under $100

Hello again, everyone, this is pewdiepie 88 and thanks so much for tuning back into my channel. So today, i'm coming to you guys with something a little different. I ordered three bundles of hair off of amazon and i decided to make my own tape in extension. So if you want to know how i did it then definitely stay tuned so order these three bundles. It is a bundle of 18 20 and 22 off of amazon um, and it was under 70 for all three bundles, so really really good deal and what i'm going to use to attach uh the hair to my head is these hair extension tapes that i got From sally's beauty, one pack is a pack of 70, so i had to get two packs just to make sure i had enough. So it's very, very simple: i actually applied the tapes along the wefts and i used two bundles of hair, which made 80 tapes. So i had a total of 80 tapes so really easy process. All i did was peel the backing of the tape and laid it on the weft, and it was a very simple process, but it did take a while very, very tedious. As far as laying the tapes on there and cutting them individually, but it was easier than i thought and the hard work really really paid off. So, as you saw, i peeled the strip off of the back of the paper and i laid it on the weft. Now i will say that i did have to buy an additional type of tape, just to make sure it. You know adhere to my hair properly, but i will show you guys that later so right now these specific tapes um, you can apply heat to them and the heat just bonds, the glue to the lace. So this is a double-sided tape. Like i said, i got it from sally's and about two packs and each pack has 70 pieces, so um the glue has to adhere to the wefts. So it's double sided. So one side has glue. The other side has glue and um. You have to bond it to the wefts to make sure the tape stays on. So that's what i'm doing right now and i wouldn't go above a temperature of 400 during that process. So again, this is how it's going to look and you're just going to have a bunch of wefts with a bunch of tapes on them. So right now, y'all don't make fun of my school scissors, but these are the only ones i could find. But all you have to do is just literally go and cut each piece and you'll end up with 80 of them, like i did, or more or less just depending on the thickness of your hair. I have pretty thick hair, so i needed a lot um to add length, so this right here is like almost 90 to 100, but i ended up only using about 80., which comes out to about 200 grams, which is two bundles of hair. So this is one piece that i had left. I have a piece identical to this um that was left over, so i really have about about one and a half bundles in my hair, because this one was left off of one bundle. So i only have about one and a half bundles in my head, which is about 150 grams. So what i did was i made sure i didn't have a fresh perm because i didn't want the hair to you know be fragile in a fragile state. If i'm putting, you know, double sided tape on them, so i didn't relax my hair, but i did wash it and clean it and flat iron. It really really well - and this is my leave out section, so i left out hair around the crown area. A large leave out area in the front, so i can have a left right or middle part and just hair all the way around and i'm going to use a u-shaped pattern going up. I don't want to go straight across because i want the tapes to be as adjustable as possible, so i decided to use a u-shape so for each section, you're going to need two tapes you're going to need two and i'm doing the sandwich method. So i'm going to go into details later, but these are how the pieces look. Of course, i suggest you really understand your own hair texture and the thickness and thinness of your hair. If you have kinky hair um go with like a yaki texture, because you want it to blend, you don't want to have thick hair and then baby doll, thin extensions. My hair can get pretty straight, so these tapes are fine because i straighten my hair with heat and it can get pretty fine, but if your hair still has a kinky thick texture, i suggest you know after flat ironing i suggest you get a yaki texture extension. So before i get into the install just wanted to clarify, i have i had 80 tapes, but each section takes two tapes, so i really had 40 in my head. It really gets confusing, but i'm trying to explain it as easy as possible. I had a total of 40 but i had 80 pieces to complete the sandwich method. So here is just a tiny piece of hair that i have sectioned off to start my um first tape, so what i did was of course i had to peel the tape off from the middle they peel from the middle. So this is a double sided tape. So this is the other side of the tape and because you use the flat iron um the glue. The double sided tape is now really really secure onto the weft, and this is just how i did it. There'S many different methods on how to do it, but this was just the easiest way i found was to part my hair first. So what i did was i'm actually putting it on the wrong way. Flip it over so um sticky side down, don't put it too close to your scalp. That was actually a little bit too close, but it was fine but sticky side down and then what you're going to do and this one wasn't sticking right. So this is the moment. I knew that i needed another type of tape, but you guys will see that later so sticky side down and then you need another one, because you're going to do the sandwich method so actually, like i said i had 80 of these pieces, but two pieces make One section so i really had 40 in my head, and i know that sounds like a little bit, but i have a lot of hair and i couldn't really fit it's really hard to explain. You just have to go with the flow and get a feel for how many you need. So, as you can see, i placed the one on top. My hair is sandwiched in the middle, so the top one has the glue side down and the bottom one has. The blue side up facing each other, so you want the sticky side to face each other and what you do you take your flat iron and then you're going to melt the two pieces together. So it's just me checking um how straight across it is, and it looks good. So this is how it's going to look when you flip it up and down, and if it's a little piece that kind of is in the way just flip that up - and this is basically what i did all the way up. My hair, you guys just a disclaimer. I am not a licensed professional. This is me just finding a way to do tape. Ins myself, but this is um when i decided to use some walker tape. This is a roll of double double-sided walker tape that i got on amazon if you're interested all the products will be on my amazon storefront. The link is in the description box, but what i did was i took the pieces that already had the glue part and i kind of glued it towards the walker tape. So i needed a stronger tape because those tapes from sally weren't doing the job. So i did the glued side face down and um. This walker tape was actually amazing. I should have used this from the beginning, but i was looking into reviews on the sally ones. Everybody said that was good, but walker tape was better. So this is me taking a thin section of my own hair um and, like i said, i'm not a professional you guys. This is just my first time trying this method. I didn't leave any of my own hair in between these, so you can do the same as with method uh, you know have a piece of your own hair like this in between them, but i didn't do that. I just use the sandwich method. All the way up so, like i said, get a feel for your own hair and you know determine how many tapes you'll need. I wanted a full head, so i didn't leave any of my hair in between that is the hair i'm going to use for the sandwich method. Also, i didn't film this process um much, but the process of me using the flat iron to um kind of melt. The two pieces together, so i just used the flat iron and squeezed it on these um extensions, to just bond the glue together a little bit better. I held it for about 10 seconds to make sure they were secure, and this is how it was looking. It was looking really good. I was really pleased on how flat everything was. The hair looks great yeah and i just use this process all the way up with this piece. I tried it without the walker tape just to see if it was just my error. I was doing it wrong um. This is the sally's tape only, but this tape did not hold as well as you can see. It'S a piece of walker tape and i'm trying to apply the sally tape against the walker tape and that did not work. The walker tape against walker tape really really worked well, so i definitely recommend that tape and it will be in the description box in my amazon storefront. So this is where the u-part um, you know the u-shaped is coming into play um. I did it like this because i wanted to wear my hair in a ponytail and if the tapes were straight across, i could only do a high ponytail, but i like my ponytails kind of in the middle of my head. If that makes sense. But this is me almost done um. I only have that little bit of section and i had a lot of hair in my head um but yeah. I am pretty much. I think i'm done at this point. It looks a little messy, but guys it really really laid flat, and i was actually really pleased on how it came out. So this is all the hair um without me. Taking out. You know the hair that i'm going to use to blend in and it's looking thick, it's looking nice. I wish my own hair was flatter like relaxed, but i didn't risk. I didn't want to risk my hair being too fragile for this process. So, as you guys saw, i took out my hair and y'all, like i'm, really really pleased on how this came out. It is so flat like i'm, loving it, even though i didn't use like pre pre-made wefts, even with the thick thicker wefts from the bundles. It lay really flat like i was really really pleased and surprised um and, like i said, i wish my hair got flatter, but i flat ironed it as much as i could, and this looks like my real hair, like of course in the front you're going to See a line of demarcation you're going to see where my real hair and the weave like separates um. But that's okay, like that! Didn'T bother me like wearing it so um! You have to be sure the edges of the wefts lay down as much as possible because i had like a few pieces like the edges of the wefts kind of poking through, like poking up so whenever you're flat ironing the double sided tape to the wefts. Just make sure the edges lay completely flat against each other. Just so you don't have any edges of the wefts sticking up through your hair, but it looks really really good. I was really pleased i had to go in and flat iron, my hair again just to make it flatter, but i actually love the way this turned out so right now, i'm just going to go through and press. My leave out kind of figure out where i want my part to be, and you guys just sit back, relax and just watch me finalize. These diy tape ends so y'all. This is the final look now my real hair doesn't curl very well. So i had to um, i have to do a better job like curling it later, but this was just real quick for the video um, so i did use some of this holding spray, which is really good because my hair doesn't hold a curl well but y'all. It looks like i have a really good sew in it feels so light, but at the same time it does feel like the tape ins are going to slip out every time you brush your hair. So it's a weird feeling, especially having these in for the first time, but i'm really really pleased. It looks like a really really good leave out sew-in, but it's so versatile and flexible.
