DOORES Hair Extensions Tape in, Jet Black 14 Inch 50g 20pcs, Tape in Hair Extensions Real Human Hair Remy Straight Natural Skin Weft

Wow! I've had other extensions before and I have clip ins. This was my first time doing tape in. I looked at several different kinds, read all the reviews and finally picked these. I was skeptical, because I'm rough on everything, including my hair. I'm the type to wash, brush and go. I don't dry or style my hair. The most I did was touch up my roots and get trimmed. I've had these since January. Installing was done professionally and was painless. It took about an hour. Once in I could not tell they were there! Caring for them, does take a little more effort than I usually did. For sleeping, I pin my hair to the top of my head and wear a silk sleeping bonnet. I use a wide tooth comb, too comb gently from the bottom up. Washing is no different. Condition only from mid way down to tips. No oil or conditioner on the tape. Use heat protection spray, blow dry, make sure to get the tape area dry. Never sleep with your hair wet. Without using heat protection spray, leave in conditioner, straightening or curling, the will look frizzy! My first installation lasted about 5 weeks. Depending on your hair growth, they could last longer or not as long. I was able to remove them, Condition my scalp, color my roots and install a new set within 3 hours. I did reuse one from the set I took out, without retaping it and it is lasting! Make sure you get a good remover to make the process easy. I bought the same brand as my extensions as well as the replacement tape. I'm going on my third week with these in. Just touched up my roots, with my extensions in and did great. I literally love these and can do anything with them. Just be sure, before you buy and install them, you are willing to take care of them properly, this includes drying styling conditions etc. If you're good to them and take care of them, they will last and be great to you!!!So, UPDATEI am now on my third install! I had my first set put back in, without re-taping them! Yes, I bought two sets. I wanted to make sure I had enough needed. My first install, I used my first set with one from the new set. Second install, I used my second set and reused one from my first set, without re-taping. I'm on my third install now. Put my first second in and one from my second set, without re-taping any of them!! These are lasting and are truly great quality!!! I recommend these to anyone!!!

The media could not be loaded. I’ve never done extensions before so this review is going to be pretty extensive but so worth it!!How many packs I used and of what (each pack came with 6 extra tapes and cute lashes!):- 2 of the 20 pc 20 inch packs in no2- 2 of the 20 pc 18 inch packs in no2- 1.5 of the 20 pc 18 inch packs in no2 balayage* the packs sometimes came with extra pieces so that was really nice! I went from a pixie to a full head so if your hair is longer or thinner, you won’t need as many. I love a full look (since my hair is naturally thick, it’s the only way to make it look natural)* the hair is also SO soft and luxurious. And they have a slight wave when wet. They hold curls/waves really well even if it’s just from a braid. I put hair oil on the mids and ends ever night and braid or twist them, securing with a scrunchie & wearing a bonnet in order to protect both my hair and the extensions.Instillation/Take out:-At first, I only bought balayage packs (6 of them) and did that around my whole head (seen in picture where my bangs are out) and it was super easy! I definitely recommend projecting your phone screen onto a laptop or TV if you can so you can see the back if you’re doing it yourself!-It came out really well the first time but because of the color, the back didn’t blend as nicely since the blonde made it look choppy. Because of this, I had to remove them in like a week because I didn’t want to go out in public with the back all wonky looking.-Take out was a pain in the butt. I only used rubbing alcohol and it left a lot of residue in my hair and I ended up pulling out a lot of hair. But again my hair is super thick so I didn’t mind it. I definitely recommend getting a tape in removing serum or something other than alcohol to get all the tape out.- I reused some of the balayage tapes the second time around (the picture in all black) but because I didn’t used a good serum to remove the tapes, I had to pull the old tapes off by hand which was definitely a huge pain and added about an hour to my re-instillation process.The roots:Lastly, they’re not completely “seamless”. The definitely have a shine to them but as long as you have *enough* hair covering it consistently, you won’t be able to see them at all! My issue is that I didn’t realize that the hair on the top of the back of my head lays awkwardly so I put a tape under where I thought my hair would be but it ended up being completely exposed 🥲 but it’s the back of my head and not my problem!Anyway overall I definitely love them! And I’ll be buying more in the future for sure. I have already recommended them to other people too. I’m not sure how well they’d do over time as I’ve had them in for about two weeks now, but so far they’re holding steady!
