But if You’re a DIY Hair Extensions Fanatic, You Might Want to Try Applying Tape in Hair Extensions by Yourself.

Here We'll Show You How to Apply Tape in Extensions in a Few Simple Steps! Let's Have a Look Together. 

Step 1: Gather Your Tools
To Better Install the Tape-In hair Extensions, You Need to Prepare the Following Supplies in Advance:

Tape in Hair Extensions: Make Sure They Match Your Hair Color and Texture.
Tail Comb: For Parting and Sectioning Hair.
Clips: To Hold Hair Sections in Place.
Pro Tape in Applicator (Optional): Holds the Tape in Place More Securely.
Step2: Prepare Your Hair
Before Installing Tape in Extensions, Wash and Comb Your Natural Hair as Usual. Wash, Blow Dry, And Brush Your Hair to Make Sure There Are No Tangles.

Step 3: Section Your Hair
Part Your Hair Horizontally, About an Inch from the Nape of Your Neck. Use a Rat-Tail Comb to Create Horizontal Sections and Use Hair Clips to Secure All Hair Above the Parting Line. You Will Apply the Extensions near the Line Made by the Part. 

Pull Your Hair Up, You Can Use a Hair Tie or Hair Clips to Secure All the Hair Above the Parting Line. Make Sure It's Completely Set as You Don't Want Any Hair to Fall out and Get in the Way While You're Applying the Extensions.

Step 4: Apply the Tape-In Extensions
Grab a Small Portion of Hair from the Untrimmed Section. You Will Be Sandwiching This Section of Hair Between the Top and Bottom Extensions. The Strand of Hair You're Sandwiching Needs to Be Very Thin, About 1⁄8 Inch (0.32 Cm). This Is so the Adhesive Tape on Both Extensions Can Stick Together Through the Hair. 

Step 5: Hold the Extension Underneath the Natural Hair and 2 Millimeters down from the Part Line. Remove the Tab Covering the Adhesive on the Extension and Press the Natural Hair onto the Adhesive. Then Take the Second Tape-In Extension and Place It on Top of the First One, Sandwiching the Section of Hair Between the Two Extensions. Press down Firmly to Secure the Tape. 

Step 5: Repeat the Process
Repeat This Process, Working Your Way up the Head, Until You Have Added All the Extensions. Ensure the Extensions Blend Seamlessly with Your Natural Hair. Adjust the Placement if Necessary.

Step 6: Final Check
Make Sure All Tape-In Wefts Are Securely in Place. Then, Style Your Hair as You Desire! You Can Cut, Curl, Or Straighten the Extensions to Blend Them with Your Natural Hair.

Once Successfully Installed, Tape in Hair Extensions Can Last 6-8 Weeks. Over Time, Wefts Can Become Loose Due to Natural Hair Growth. A Set of Tape-Ins Can Usually Be Reused 3 to 4 Times Before the Quality of Hair Extensions Starts to Deteriorate. To Reapply the Tape, You Can Usereplacement Tape, Which Is Specifically Designed for Tape Hair Extensions.
