In this video I'll walk you through step by step how to apply your own tape in hair extension at home. I think tape in hair extensions are one of the easiest hair extension methods to do yourself so might as well save some money with a little DIY! I'll go over all my tips and tricks and everything you need to know from how much hair to buy to application placement. In this tutorial I'll also show you how I blend in the tape in hair extensions on my short hair.

UPDATE: Hey girls! I know in the video I say the packs come in 100 grams but they have since changed their packs to 50 grams. So just keep this in mind when you are shopping, you might need to pick up more packs. The brand has also changed their name from West Label to Ouielle. Sorry for any confusion!!

Thank u for the tips. I had extensions put in 4 the 1st time and I wanted to find ways to do it myself instead of having to pay someone 150 dollars every 4 to 6 weeks. I still have problems blending and can't wear my hair straight since my hair is thincker than extensions even after a wash and flat iron. I do t wantto have to keep adding packs of hair and that's the most nerve racking thing about the extensions

What is a reasonable amount to pay for extensions
Pro-tip: I have very fine hair and always struggle with hiding the tapes around my hairline and my nape so what I do is cut the sandwich in half. This way, you have smaller tapes that can be hidden a lot easier around the edges! I also use this technique of cutting the tapes around my face to give it a more natural/blended look.

Another pro tip, follow the “brick” method for each row. This will ensure the hair blends. If you stay in the same pattern it will result in visible gaps.

I went to my hair dresser the other day and sorry the pice for their tape extensions is way too high, so I think Imma give myself a try, order tape ins and do it all by myself. Thats deffo the cheaper way for long term extensions. Thanks Janna for this informative vid!!! Wish me luck!!!
You made it look so easy! It blends so well. Great video!
The production value on this is amazing! thanks for the tips!
Great tutorial ❤️ The colors are gorgeous..and I love the length. I'll watch this a few times probably to get the hang of it! X

Perfectly detailed to help anyone. Thank you
You’re a genius for putting the tape on top first ,I didn’t even think of this and this is one of the main reasons why I haven’t applied mine myself (never knew how much hair I needed to sandwich)
Great video great instructions. I had an appointment to get my done that I had made 2 weeks in advance and they called me to cancel in 20 minutes before. Obviously I cried but now you’ve inspired me that I can do it myself with my boyfriends help for guidance in the back part of course lol. So thank you so much for this!🙏
This is a perfect demo. Thank you very much.
It looks sooo full and long i love it!
Love that its a video with short hair to see the blend.
That was cool I like how I control of the hair you were , I tend to get sloppy but I love the idea of clipping individual pieces out the way. Great job

For thin hair, you can do singles instead of “sandwiching” the two together. This will allow for less tension on the hair. Give it a try, you may love it!

I wore tape in hair extensions for 8 years. Lucky for me I have very thick strong hair. LADIES if you have thin hair AVOID AVOID AVOID. You will 100% get traction alopecia after prolonged wear, it means the extensions will pull on the hair, weaken your hair follicle until it dies. If you MUST wear them rotate one month the upper head and the other month the lower part of your head. Also do microneedling for your scalp to keep the follicle alive. Add in strong scalp massage /flipped head once a week for 10 min and take hair supplements. I just took my extensions off and I am grateful I still have a lot of hair but others with thin hair are struggling with very little hair left. Good luck to everyone.

Been wearing tape in hair extensions for almost 6 years. My hair is very thin but I only place it on where my own isn’t too thin, otherwise it will definitely cause traction alopecia for sure. It truly depends on placement. I’ve never had an issue.

This greatly depends on the method you use, brand/type of tape, brand/type of extensions, what products you use on the hair, and what method you use to remove the extensions. To say that every single person with thin hair should "AVOID AVOID AVOID" is an irresponsible statement to make.
KZread has saved me so much money I stg you’re a hero
thank you. I just spent 250$ at a salon to get some tape ins, and here in Japan they are small 1cm wide tape-ins, but even though I was SUPER careful washing my hair even with no oil or nothing I'm down to half the amount after 2 weeks only. the hair was also bad quality, but I want to make it worth it so I am washing them out this week end and bought some tape for extensions and will try to put them back in for an event I have soon, so hopefully that will work, I'll follow your advice. thanks

Thank you, thank you, thank you Janna. I'm about to add my extensions for the very first time and I wasn't really very confident about getting it exactly right, you make it look so easy and with detailed instructions too. The only bit I'm not too sure of is how do you blend the last top part of your hair, obviously that will be my own hair, which is short so I'm hoping it blends well and dusn't look stupid. Maybe another video for this???

For the top part, if your hair is super short it kind of is what it is unfortunately. Even for this set you can still where my hair stops. The best way to make it less noticeable is to bring the tapes up as high as you can on your head and if you like you can cut some layers in to the extensions as well to kind of disguise the shorter layers of your own hair.
You did great !
Thank you for this tutorial, Janna, your hair came out beautifully. You're tape in extensions best advertisement! Can you please make a video about the best way to remove them and/or reposition them? Thank you!

Layers really help! For this set I just brought the tapes up as high as I could on my head to help with the blend. Ultimately you can still see where my hair ends but it makes it less noticeable if you bring the tapes up as high as you can and add a few layers :)

This is good video cos my hair is same length and I hate it haha so this is very helpful
This is the first video that makes me feel like i can do this myself 😂🙏
But Seriously, this is video is better than any certification training video!
The way you did it, are you able to put you hair in a high ponytail or is it done to where you will always have your hair out?

I used to do this! But then I was told to stop doing that because it can actually weaken the tape. Maybe it depends on the tape brand?
Hi hun if your tapes don't meet up use your flat irons on top of the tape and slide it down untill it meets OK and lamp them tight OK hope ur well I did my tape on Saturday the 12th June it took me hours to do but I think I mite have not done them right but u can't see them in my hair and that's good I had brown hair in my hair and I went for a root tint and the hairdresser washed my hair and oh my gosh wot a lot of matting so I came home and removed them they looked very bad but I'm learning to do them now and my hair is 24inches long now and I did the best I could OK take care babe love u Donna ❤️
How would this look on someone with 2-4 inch hair? Does it still blend well?
