How to do tape in extensions?
Step 1: Prepare your natural hair
Detangle your natural hair with a comb. And then shampoo and condition your natural hair. Soak out excess water with a soft towel. Blow your hair dry thoroughly with the lowest heat setting. Keeping your hair and your scalp in a clean and ventilated condition can help to prolong the lasting time of tape-ins.
Step 2: Section off your natural hair
Part your natural hair as you normally would. And then section off the front area (about 1-1.5 inches in depth and across the whole hairline from ear to ear) so that the tape-ins can be perfectly hidden and create an undetectable illusion. Also, section off the bottom area( about 0.5-1 inch from the nape of your neck across from ear to ear). Leaving out the bottom area allows you to rock a high ponytail seamlessly. Make sure the front area and the bottom area are completely secured.
Step 3: Apply tape-in hair extensions
Start applying tape-ins from the bottom part to the top horizontally. Gain a very thin strand of hair from the hair above your bottom part line about the length of one tape in hair extension. Lift up this strand of hair, and peel off the strip on the top of the extension, press on the extension underneath the thin strand of hair you’re lifting. Pick up one more piece of hair extension and peel off the strip, press it on the top of the thin strand of hair. Make the thin strand of hair between two tape-ins and the top of two extensions are stuck together. Repeat this sandwich process until you finished the full head tape-ins.
Step 4: Undo the section hairs
Undo the section hairs. Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to make them cover the tape-in hair extensions. And now you can style your tape in hair extensions as you desire. But remember don’t wash your tape-in hair extensions within 24 hours after the installation. And if you need to use heat styling tools on your tape-in extensions, spraying some heat protection is a protective way.
