DIY Tape-in Extensions at Home, the Easy Way! 

I FINALLY filmed a video with tips for taking them out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AGWDMIBYpCY.html

I am a licensed cosmetologist here in California and I find it absolutely necessary to tell you that your DIY video has taught me more in one viewing than any professional video or industry video I have watched! I love the confident way that you give instruction and how honest-to-God easy it becomes with your step by step instruction. Thank you thank you thank you!!

I’ve been wearing tape in extensions since 2011. My stylist did them for until 2017 when I moved. My usual routine with her took 3-4 hours. This was her removing, coloring my own hair, cleaning and applying new tape to the extensions while my color processed, reapplying the extensions and styling. She became a dear friend and we both looked forward to my appointments which, of course, added to the time my appointments lasted. When I moved out of state I tried to find a new stylist but, I was blown away by what they were going to charge me. Plus, they would not use extensions that I would bring in, they would only use what they ordered and insisted on a new set each time. So, I’ve been doing my own since 2017. I buy my extensions and tape from Sally’s. I take an evening and a morning to do my hair. I start by removing the extensions the night before. The next day I start by coloring my hair and giving it a long wash, really giving the roots and scalp a good scrub. I do not use any conditioner. Then I put my extensions in almost exactly how you do yours, only I start at the bottom and work my way up. As long as I take my time and rush myself, they’ll be good for 8-10 weeks. I might have to retape one from time to time but that just takes a few minutes. I use 22” and 18” to give the layers and volume I want. I love my extensions!! They give me the hair I dreamed of having when I was a teenager. I haven’t been able to wear them for over a year now. In 2019 I was diagnosed with stage four cancer. I’m in remission now and I never lost my hair but the treatment did change the texture of my hair and gave it a very funny feel and I just couldn’t get the tape to stick. I started taking biotin with coconut oil and my hair has actually grown out almost to the length of the extensions. I still miss them though and I’m thinking of putting them back in soon. They gave me confidence and I could use some of that now. Great video!!!! I wouldn’t change a thing!!! ☺️

Credit where Credit is due lovely lady! - I have attempted to put in tape in extensions 3 times over the last fortnight only to crack it and give up every time. Today i followed this tutorial and saved myself $130 for my hairdresser doing it. Bless your cotton socks, i cannot thank you enough xx

My stylist talked me into tape ins a few weeks ago since my I am losing my hair from medications. They have given me my confidence back for sure!!!

OMG This is the best tutorial I’ve seen that clearly demonstrates how to put tape in extensions yourself. Thank you so much. I love the meltdowns too!

I’m a licensed cosmetologist and I hate bothering people at work to put my hair extensions on thank you I’m going to do it myself you’re awesome incredible teacher🙌🙌

I have been doing my own tape in hair extensions for only about a year now. Your video waa the easiest I have ever done it and it looks the best it's ever looked ❤️❤️ thank you so much

This is the best diy installation video Ive found thank you

I saw your video Tuesday, ordered my hair and it came in today! So easy to do! Thank you! My hair looks great!

Best DIY tape in extension video I have watched and I have watched a lot. Love how you start from the top instead of bottom. So much easier. Thank you!!!

You are ADORABLE!!! I just ordered two packages and I am very excited to try them for my first time. I will definitely watch this video again completely before I begin. Thank you for being so informative much more than a lot of the other videos I have watched. I think I’m actually brave enough to try it now cannot thank you enough!!!!! 😘

This is the best DIY on tape ins that I have seen. Thank you!! I always get caught up in the "tape sandwich" process but doing the top part first seems a lot easier

You’re a genius!!! My biggest problem was figuring out how much hair to sandwich in between. This method is so easy 😍 Thank you for all the tips! I am a mortician and have to wear my hair up and it gets yanked on by the respirator, so your tip on the diagonal placement of the lower tapes is life changing! THANK YOU 🙏🏻🤍💫☺️🤩

I'm a stylist in Ohio and found this video accidentally and can I say you were awesome and very informative a great teacher. Im inspired keep doing what your doing♥️♥️

I'm about to try my hand at tape ins today, and this is the only video I made it all the way through. So informative and gave me the confidence to try it out myself!

I just did my very first tape in extensions and thanks to you is a success!!! Everything you said it's true! Starting with the most difficult part of the process is the initial division of the hair. Why do others make it soooooo complicated! I'm looking forward to healthier hair while looking good and of course will search for your how to take them down in about six weeks. You saved me TONS OF $$$$$ THANK YOU!! ❤

SO glad I watched this before trying a first DIY install. Other videos had great hacks but started working at the nape; with your method, the first row is the easiest to place instead of the hardest. You instantly see the extensions’ color and position, mistakes are easier to fix. Thanks for a huge help.

I’m considering extensions for the first time and your video offered excellent guidance in helping me decide. Thanks for a very informative and honest portrayal of the application and process. You’re very personable which makes for an ultra enjoyable viewing experience.

Thanks, your video was just what I needed and far more useful than the other thousands I have watched. And Ps - not only are your hair extensions gorgeous, but you are absolutely stunning as well! Just had to say it! Thanks for the video hun!

You speak so well! Super clear, informative video, no extra unnecessary babble.. This was perfect! Thank you!

I love this video! It’s the best DIY tape in video I’ve seen. I usually have mine professionally done, and during the stay at home order I attempted to do it myself. Wish I had seen this video then, my results would have been a lot better and the process much easier.

Awesome video !! Only thing I learned being raised by a hairstylist that I noticed you don't do, between each layers/row of extensions, leave a layer of hair with no extensions, way more comfy and less chances to have mini matte going on between each extrnsions! But I love your method and I'm going to try it tonight :)

This is one of the best tape in tutorials I’ve seen, very detailed! Great video. Now I will definitely try it myself, thank you so much 😊🥰

This was the second video I found with tape in extensions and let me tell you, it's the only one I need. You are amazing and I am so grateful that I found this, thank you so much!

I've been using extensions for about three years and I have never tried the method you just showed. Now I can't wait to try it, next time I put them back. Thank you!

From one lover of long hair-(who had the "Warlock" method done in the New Orleans salon for years$$$) to another-excellent video! I used to use a low-temp glue gun, light-brown glue sticks and methodically apply the extensions myself. Took me about 6-8 hours and soo tedious, but the results were so good. But now that I know we can do these ourselves-I will never go back to doing it that old way. I can NOT WAIT to try this! Thank you for providing every little tid-bit of info needed to make an informed decision. Yes!

Thank you for the information in your video. It’s exactly what I was looking for! My hair has been thinning for years now and I just ordered my first set of tape in extensions and I had no idea how to put them in. I think now after watching your video I am ready to try it. So thank you!!!!!!!

So I have had my extensions professionally done and iv tried always to do them myself and watched video after video your by far has been the best I love the way you do this !! Im doing ije today and I feel so much more confident in doing them !!! Thank you

Wow. I’ve been dying to try to do it myself for a long time. You have really made me more confident to do it. Great tips. Thank you

This is such a great video! I’m licensed and first had extensions done by a hairdresser friend. After only two fill appointments, I had to move away. Not wanting to fork over the $1500 at a salon in my new city (not that it’s not worth it…hairdressers absolutely deserve that for their time and expertise, just not an amount I could cough up every 6 weeks) and with my license, I’m able to buy the same brand that I started with. I started doing them myself…bottom-up, since that’s how my friend did it. But this looks so much easier when you’re working on yourself. I’ll be trying this when I do my next fill. Just want to park a little tip here too, in case anyone is like me-and can’t get anything through my hair without conditioner from roots to ends. A shampoo and conditioner without sulfate and sodium/salt, will allow full conditioning without losing too much stickiness on your adhesive tabs. My favorite is Paul Mitchel awapuhi wild ginger moisturizing lather shampoo and keratin cream rinse. Recommended by the friend who does extensions professionally. And a plus, for me is, since I had my first set installed right before a vacay, and washed for the first time at the resort, this shampoo and conditioner reminds me of vacation every time I use it 😉 Thanks for the great video…your instruction is detailed and easy to follow ❤

You have changed my life!! Thank you! I love how “real” you are. I met hubby online too!! 🥰

Wow.... Thank you for this outstanding tutorial. I have been wearing clip in's religiously for about ten years now, and have sadly been seeing the tension alopecia come through more and more as a result. About three years ago, I had a stylist install a set of tape ins - and while they looked great, they were unbearably uncomfortable. (I think she may have installed them way too close to the root, not totally sure - but it was four weeks of low-key torture! LOL) The way you installed them definitely looks reasonably easy - and the end result was FANTASTIC! I also think that the way you installed them would all but alleviate that miserating uncomfortability factor that I suffered through. Anyway - Just had to say thanks for this outstanding tutorial - It was by far the best I've seen in a long, long time! Looking forward to checking out more of your videos! 🤗

I’ve watch many videos on tape ins and this video is by far the most educational one. Thank you

Your extension videos & how you healed your hair has been so helpful!! Glad I came across them.

The most helpful video I've watched so far, to the point, without drowning out the vowels in the last word of every sentence. 🤦‍♀️ Nails on a chalk board. Thank you!

Hi Brooke, again I want to thank you for your great video on tips when installing tape extensions. After watching these dozens of times, I placed a full head with tape extensions on myself. Your tips have helped me a lot with this. The result is astonishing. Have a nice weekend to you and your family. Love from Belgium, Suzanne

I have been doing my tape ins for about a year now an always started at the bottom. I followed your instructions for a change and it was so much easier! Thank you, i will be doing it this way from now on! 😊

Can't wait to try my tape in extentions now! I've had them for what seems like forever and had just been scared to put them in myself. Ever since watching this I have built up my confidence in the process. Here I go, wish me luck! :)

Brilliant! This is the best tutorial video for diy tape ins. Thank you so much for sharing your technique!

Thank so much options I've been doing my extensions by myself and been trying to find the perfect video for good example to see if I'm doing everything right and so far so good I was but I was missing a few littl examples here and you gave them to me so now this shows me to do a little bit better on my extensions on my own this helped so much thank you so much appreciated.❤️

Amazing video ! I’m so excited to try now ! Love the layers with various lengths; that’s kind of what I was thinking too. Thanks for doing this and sharing !

You clearly have mastered this,and it looks perfect 👌🏼

Wow!! You did a great job explaining exactly how to install the extensions!! Best video I've seen so far and I've been watching many videos! I'm so happy to have found your channel. I will be definitely giving this a try very soon. I am going to have to sort out how to remove them once they're installed. I don't think you mentioned it. But maybe someone has a video about the removal process. Thank you so much! Your hair is gorgeous!!

It is almost 1am and I just finished with my tapes watching your video and thanks to you I did it well!! You motivated me and gave me confidence to do it myself😊😚 Thanks a lot!

Best DIY vid for hair extensions! Very thorough Thank you!

I just start using tape in hair about 6 weeks now , my hair dresser put it in and I love them it looks like my own hair my hair is long but I need them for more body in my hair my own hair is starting to tin out so this is perfect for me, I will like to watch u more so I can do them for myself, thank u so much I’m going to learn from u💕😀

Do you have any idea how much easier you just made my life!! With me being new to the world of extensions because of chemical burn/breakage to my own (used to be!) waist length hair, now at my jaw line...I LOVE YOU!! And I'm pretty sure you just literally saved my fiance's life as well!! Lol So, THANK YOU LIFESAVER!!💋

Your hair looks beautiful and natural! You make it look easy! I’ve never tried but now I want to.

I love your interruptions! You are so awesome - that you showed that part and kept going!

Whew!!! I had already convinced myself I will have to pay a couple hundred bucks to get my hair done. I’m feeling more confident about doing it myself now. Wish me luck 👍🏼 and thanks so much for the info.

Your own hair is absolutely beautiful and you work with those extensions like a professional hairdresser. Wow 🤩

I just watched this and this will be my first time doing my own tape ins ! Thank you for your video I’m confident I can do this now thanks again

I used your method last night , thank gawd I found your video!!! Super helpful my first time applying myself and wow! Best method for sure I was gonna do it totally different, this saves me time and many cuss words lol !

I had a falling out with the cosmetologist who purchased and installed my first set of extensions, and I attempted to do my second round by myself. I wish I had seen this video before that. 😅 Thank you so much for this! I anticipate it getting easier and easier moving forward.

You talked me Into it!! Hope mine turns out as gorgeous as yours! Wish me luck!

I have watched dozens of videos all pretty good, but your perspective of diying hit me the best. Parting off your own hair is hard. I'm licensed and I still have to be careful when sectioning my hair. Your updoing each section.....perfect for diy. I just paid aboue 500.00 for hair....it hasn't come in mail yet, but I'm anxious to see how it is. Ive done clip ins...not sure they are for me. I felt like I had a helmet on, so tape ins are my next effort. THanks for taking time to do this.....really good.

What an awesome tutorial! You make it so easy to follow and I'm so excited to try it. You look amazing in this video and I appreciate you so much!!🥰😘

Best installation video EVER. Thank you!!!!! Absolutely love this method.

🍁🍂 I certify this as being one of the best Tape in hair extensions tutorial - ever; thank you.

Omg loved your video can’t wait to try to do mine

Ok so back in April I got tape ins at a salon it was my first time and I thought I had done enough research but I was way wrong. I paid $600 for 3 packs I’d hair which is absolutely a lot and I would normally never pay for but my hair is soooo thin and I was in a wedding so I used my stimulus. Couldn’t get an appointment until 2 days before the wedding and was told $250 to get them in and paid $375. They used all 3 packs and it was just way to much for me and my thin hair because yes you could see them once my hair grew out. However, when you go from like no hair to 3 packs of hair it’s a total self esteem builder. I was told it would be close to $450 to get them back in. No way I could afford that, getting them out was an ordeal in itself and then to not have long think hair was heartbreaking, but then I saw your video so yesterday was my first attempt at doing them myself. Yes I had a few minor issues but that was from inexperience but I will never pay for a salon to do them again. I know I’ll will get better with time and I’m honestly happier with the way I put them in with your help, and I can actually put my hair up. You seriously will never understand how much this video has helped me . Thank you for taking the time to make it.

Spectacular 🙌 Amazing tutorial I'm doing this today!

Now this so far is the best method I have seen for DIY

I would never have tried them myself without your video. You’re very beautiful and fun to watch, thank you!

Such a great technique for diy. So glad I found you!

Great tutorial ,I have always used Utip extensions but where I buy them from are not selling them any more , so been looking on RU-vid on how to apply tape extensions and you have done a good job of explaining how to put them in if your going to put your hair up. Thanks

Thank you; thank you.. You've inspired me to go ahead with my decision to purchase the tape-ins. I've been looking at Irresistible Me products, but will look at the ones that you're using, now that I've discovered and subscribe to you!

Super helpful! Can’t wait to try it for myself!

BEST video! I am so happy I watched this video! Thank you for making it!

Your meltdowns are hilarious 🤣 I feel connected to you 🤗 And yes, good job on the tapes. I prefer I tips, but when I put tape ends on myself it takes me 2 to 3 hours lol. You for sure have a tried and true method!

You are the best! I missed that!! Thanks again! Diane

Omg that is genius! Love your hair too! Thank you for your video!

Thank you for showing a great how to video!❤️

Best educational tape in video ive watched. Thank you doll.

definitely the best video on the subject

Your way of helping and explaining to us❤️ in my opinion perfect , thank you beautiful girl 🌷

Great job!! Thanks for your help!

Wow... This is really the best tip, thank you so much for sharing, love from Belgium

This is amazing !! Thank you. You are fun to watch too! Beautiful.

Love love love your hair. Your video is awesome. I go to a salon to have my extensions put it and it's very expensive. I want to do my own and your video helps me to understand how to do it myself.

You make it look so easy. Thank you for the tip. I've been doing mine different and they fall out within a month.

Your hair when done loos BEAUTIFUL ..GREAT JOB. !Thanks.

Wow! These are gorgeous!!!

Your video is the best by far. Thanks!

This has been honestly the best diy video for extentions I've seen though

I have done them your way .... and yes thanks it’s much easier now to put them in..

Just tried doing myself a few where hair broke off from a motorcycle wreck 6 mo ago.i had long hair but lost alot when that happened due to injury.finallhave a little to work with on that side. Tried them but color didn't match good enough. Glad my color comes this week. Also a cosmetologist and barber yrs ago. I have saved thousands over30 yrs doing my own everything. Anyway after viewing your video now I see how I did it was not working as well. Gonna try this way. Thank you sooooo much

Love this video!!!!

Dang I didn't get the shorter length to use but will have to cut them and I did get my clarifying shampoo. Thanks you really helped since I done see all types of videos you really make it seem effortless. Glad you shared about the foil tip and the angles for pony tails and buns. YIPPIE Ok will have you on while I put mine in when I get my last pack adding some color for highlights. You can get a color and add one that matches your hair color and then add another tape in on top of another color along the edges/outsides (so when pulled up your color matches). LOVE THE WAY YOU PUT THEM IN... BLESS YOU!!!

This was super helpful. Thank you. Will be doing.

Bless you! I bought tape ins I've put them in twice following the professional placement patterns and I hate it. I have very thin fine hair and I could see them when I pulled my hair up. This week sometime I'm going to color my hair and the extensions put new tapes on them and do what you did here. Pray for me lol thank you for this video.

I 'd like to see you do a video on how you take them out .

Great video. The only tips I'd add are to use a pin comb to make the hair partings cleaner plus leave a thin layer of hair out between each row of extensions.

I would kill for a “Widows Peak” like yours…I have coveted one my entire life❤❤❤❤❤I just LOVE how they look and give your (or anyone with one) that little ‘extra’ !!!! ❤❤❤❤

You are so stunning. Love your hair. You did an amazing job applying those hair extensions. They look like your own hair. Also love your hair colour it’s gorgeous 💖💖💖

So happy II found your channel. 💙💜💙

Thank you!!!! Im going to try it.

Brilliant work, thank you!

Thank you so much!!!!! I was able to do this myself cuz of you 😘
