Wifey sent me this video and after watching this video a couple times I think I'm ready to help her put these in. Thank you for the informative video👍🏽

[@minuit6305]

Were you successful???😮

[@jonathanm4085]

@@minuit6305 yes very successful🤙🏽 thanks to this video!😁

​@@jonathanm4085well, aren't you the sweetest thing. Johnathan's wife....You've got a keeper, hold on to him with both hands!

[@MrsB-43]

I literally just did the same thing to my husband. I tell him how much money we can save and he’s all in. ❤ Husbands like you two are the true hero’s.

[@maceyanna]

I love that you added the drawing diagram as you laid them. That also helps!

[@andreafernandes1308]

I've read the comments and I don't want to sound like a broken record but I have no choice lol. I have been using tape- ins since they came out. For years my hairdresser did all of the work. Unfortunately Covid-19 took most everything from me. My employment, my house, my fiance. I have been struggling to survive since then so when I had to learn to install them myself I just wasn't getting it right but for years I still put them in the best I can until your video came up on my screen as I was searching for a video I usually watch Everytime I have to install, remove and move them every few months. Girl you just relieved me of years of stress! You are a god send and I'm pretty sure I deserved this. Thank you you can't possibly know how much I appreciate this gift. I will now check out some of your other videos. God bless! Your number 1 fan Andrea Gail

[@emem009]

Ugh sorry you had such a rough go.

[@Gigi-Vivi]

Covid really wasn't fair to so many. I'm sorry it took as much from you as it did. You're still here and you sound like you're doing well. Life will continue to improve and the fiancé, house, and job you were truly meant to have have a clear pathway to come through. You're deserving of so much, and I hope you get it. ❤

[@tonyagarten4404]

Girl your like gifted AF, I love your ability to teach, and your flow with information is perfect. You made it look super easy and your explanations for why to do things in certain places and & how to recognize why, almost like you could the author of extensions for dummies lol, Thanks for the video I have 4 daughters ages from 18 to 26 so this will definitely save me money and give me time with them 🙂😀🥰 I appreciate you!

[@sarahjoy3375]

Right! She's such a great teacher!!

[@colettejaques2559]

Why you buy your daughters hair?😂 Being natural and loving yourself is key...

[@katiedomoras]

lol I agree but coming from a fellow hairdresser we’re supposed to be able to explain things well enough for you to do at home so your style works with you doing it and not just us doing it in the salon

[@miriamkennamer3279]

Just coming here to say that I have NEVER done my own tape-ins before. But a few days ago, I decided it was worth a shot. Went thru a few vids on YT to get the idea. Fortunately, I stumbled across this one. When I tell you… my hair literally looks professionally done. I followed step by step her instructions (had to redo some sections a couple times bc I’m a newbie). The only thing I did differently was (I have much thicker hair) in the back, added an extra set of two per quadrant, and my hair looks STUNNING. I’ve had my extensions done professionally and to be honest, they look better now than they did then. Thanks, girl!!!

[@ldt9016]

I’ve watched a half a dozen “tape in yourself” videos, and yours is hands down the most informative and useful tutorial. You really dumb it down for the novice (ME). Bob Ross would be so proud! You got yourself a brand new subscriber!

[@BrittneeAlexus]

YAY!! thank you for being here !!!

[@VesicaPiscis33]

I agree! So easy to take in. 😌

[@Nikibaby74]

I agree!

[@debbieg217]

@@BrittneeAlexus Hi! May I ask where your salon is located? I'm in Louisiana. Loving your vids, I have thin hair as well. 💓

[@Kiq_Ash]

Came here to say this

[@imanisamiyah9619]

How does this video not have more likes?! I was feeling pretty confident about doing my own tape ins before (I always do my own hair) but after watching, I feel even more at ease. Your hair is so similar to mine and you just explained things so thoroughly, yet kept it simple. Thank youuuu! 💕 they look great on you btw 😘

[@GhettoGospel99]

Best take in video I've ever watched! Great job! ❤️ Thank you so very much! New happy sub

[@StacyJo-kn9dd]

You are truly a lifesaver to me! I have watched this video every time I’ve put in my own extensions. It’s only been about 8 months, but I swear, I learn something new each time I watch it. I 100% COULD NOT DO MY OWN EXTENSIONS WITHOUT YOUR VIDEO! Thank you for taking the time to put this out for us amateurs. 👍😜I tried watching other videos at first, but I always came back to this one…..hands down THE BEST ONE ON THE TUBE! The thing I love the most is the way you present yourself. You ain’t sugar coat’s s#*% and you are just being real. I’m a lifer now and I’m watching anything you throw out here girl. Thanks for all of it❤

[@mariabacila5227]

I love how you didn't waste time in the beginning of the video and jumped right in. Also, your technique is very clear and thorough. I've never used the tape in extensions, but I want to now, after watching you. Thank you, for making it look so easy.

[@JosephineMcMullen]

YES. I can't stand uber long intros on KZbin videos.

[@nikkipratt4705]

Thank you for this guide, my hairs a bit shorter than yours so looks a bit choppy & uneven even with 40 peices in, but the hairs silky new at the moment, it'll all blend a lot better once they're washed & roughed up a little. A little tip for others, I saw what you meant about holes in the hair, I had some holes & disconnects where my front quadrants were separated from the back. I actually cut some extensions in half & used them to make small filler peices for the holes & that worked really well. Also helped with bricklaying my rows as the weft was a little big. You've saved me $300, weeks of waiting and an hours driving (I live in nz where there's literally 2 salons an hours drive from home that do extensions & are booked for weeks) DIY for the win. You're so gorgeous, thank you 😘

[@sarahmiller9056]

It's the JTT picture on the mirror for me! I was so in love with him when I was a kid!

[@LS111AT]

Me too!!! Though my old roommate saw a childhood photo of me when I was tan and dirty blonde (I am pale and dye my hair black now lol) and he said I looked like a female JTT and I cackled 😂😂 so correct

I've watched at least 25 diy tape in videos and this is literally the BEST!!! It's informative and helpful, yet fun. I absolutely love it :)

[@Tidehigh999]

I have been doing tape ins on myself for maybe 2 years on and off and I must say, this tutorial was the easiest to follow, BY FAR and I have seen several! I have been binging on your videos for a day and I have subscribed! I will be putting in my extensions tomorrow! Thanks for the awesome content!!!❤

[@BrittneeAlexus]

Thank you! You will do great, and i'm here if you need any help!

Don you think its ruining your own hair? I really want to have it done but scared I will get bold 😅

[@kristengallo8127]

I REFUSE to spend $700 getting hair extensions ordered and installed at the salon. I just ordered 3 boxes of remy human hair extensions on azon for $135 dollars. Now I'm gonna do this sh*t myself! I can't wait!

[@randomastheday]

I’ve been doing my own for the last 8 months and although they work and look great I still haven’t mastered the exact amount of hair in the sandwich to keep them all in place. Some fall out while others stay for 8 weeks. But regardless, I’m saving a crap ton of money. Thank you very much.

[@aysiamae2276]

This personality of yours needs to be on TV. Great informative video!

[@GawdsNectar]

When you pulled out the clipboard i knew I'd follow you anywhere😍

[@karenskinner9044]

The best thing I have done for myself at 58 was getting extensions. I also have thin, long hair. The first time I got the kind that were tiny little strands that sometimes had sharp pieces that dug into my skull. I cut one corner off with a nail clipper one time😂😂😂. I loved it-but then I tried the tape/glue in type. I highly recommend this type. It is so much more comfortable. I never did it myself, but have been cutting, coloring, etc. to my own hair since early 80s after a bad haircut at a "stylist". I figured I would give this a try. Thank you for your video!!! You were nice to watch, and you explained it greatly. YESSS-I hate it when extensions get floppy by your ears!!! I am in that stage now... over due. It lasts me about 2 months easily. This time, it has been since mid Sept.23-so... Jeeez-working on almost 4 months!!! They're about two inches down from the root. You cannot see it, but it is annoying. Anyone on the fence as to whether or not to do this-just do it!!! You are worth it!!! Sometimes, ya just gotta say F it! It lifted my spirits so much, made me feel prettier. ❤

I came across this lovely, informational, absolutely wonderful video🤗 And well, I deleted my "Tape-in Extensions," and now I proudly have this one and only video, cause it's the only video that I'll ever need when I need instructions when applying my tape-in's! Thank you girl!👊
