undetectedle tape in extensions on natural hair

[@LaShondaLaShell]

This video confirms everything I discovered about doing my tape-in extensions. My first time wearing them was July 2021. I leave them in for 2 to 3 months, take them out to deep condition (make it rain by TPH), use my scalp (sweet & salty by TPH) and shampoo (moisturizing) milk shampoo by Muzani. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE wearing my hair like this. It’s like wearing a wig without the wig. If you know what I mean. THANKS FOR SHARING 🥰

[@AlexisJones1]

Girl yessss! I hear you! A wig without a wig! I love it!!! The versatility is amazing

[@TheRealTiffanyLacole]

Did you notice growth doing this?

[@ameliaokiyi6629]

Did you see any damage with a certain style like straightening

[@LaShondaLaShell]

@@TheRealTiffanyLacole ABSOLUTELY!!! My hair is not only longer but thicker. I’m able to wear it curly, curled or straight. And keep my scalp moisturized too. I trim my end when I take the tape-ins out (2 to 3 months; depending on growth). I use less hair too. I only wear the extensions in the back and 2 sets around my ears. My beautician was amazed at how well my hair is doing too. A year ago when I started wearing them my hair was super thin. It was so thin that I just wore my hair in its natural curly state.

[@LaShondaLaShell]

@@ameliaokiyi6629 no ma’am. The damage only comes based on how I take care of my hair (or the lack there of) and how rough I am taking out the tape-ins. I use C-22 Solvent to remove them. It works fast and is gentle on my hair. It’s super oily (which helps remove the tape fast). However, I will say when I comb out my hair to make sure I’ve gotten all the tape out, I have to be extra gentle because it’s possible to damage the hair. I hope this helps. Because I’ve been wearing tape-ins for a year this month. And my hair has thickened and lengthened so much that I wear my hair straight, curled and naturally curly.

If the tapings come off so easy and she can pull them off how do they last when you can comb your hair and it'll probably pull right off in a comb.

[@fredarickamichelle]

You did a beautiful job! I recently had microlinks installed, but the install wasn’t as thick as I wanted since I have a VERY small head. I ended up installing some tape ins on the sides and in the back. It’s definitely doable at home, but you absolutely have to take your time and pack your patience!

You can wash your hair once a week if you need to! I’d recommend using a hydrating shampoo on your scalp like I did.

[@luvmusic2570]

Where are these extensions from ?

[@TJWC]

I've had tape in installed less than 1 week ago. They're already slipping and several have come out. Although the style looks cute, I'm a bit frustrated because it costs alot. I was expecting to have this installed for at least 4 weeks. I don't think they'll last that long.

Hey, honestly I’ve never tried it but it sounds like you’ll just put the tip extensions onto some tape right? I think it can be done but i don’t think it’ll be worth it. You’ll probably experience lots of shedding and slippage. To avoid the hassle your best bet is to just purchase some actual tape in extensions from Amazon

[@Steven-fw1ll]

Okay looks great but what about as soon as it gets wet and shrinks back to really short?

[@incognito7007]

I'd love to do this myself but I'm scared my natural hair will revert back to its curly texture and I don't want to overuse heat. When you do a silk press, how long does it normally last you? Also on the website, how many bundles come with an order and how many bundles total did you use?

[@AlexisJones1]

I only only silk press when I wash my hair. I do not put heat in my hair at all other than the initial press. I wash my every every 2-3 weeks because my scalp gets really itchy so depending on your scalp and your hair you can wash it more or less than I do. Total I used about 90 tapes (you have to use 2 tapes per section) Also I bought 6 bundles and 20 tapes comes with 1 bundle.

[@DrSimpleBeauty]

What about removal? Whats that process like?
