So last nite I was ready to wash my hair for the first time since I did a tape only install of two tracks (double wefted). I was already having problems with the lower track - it was loose. I wonder if I would have better results with the LG. I also wonder if I should use LG and tape or just LG on its own but at the moment I am tempted to make an appointment for sew ins. This is only my third install and the first two were sew ins.
|
The lower track which was already coming undone and was completely out of my hair by the end of my shower!!! 
(Earlier I was so worried about getting that tape out of my hair and now it just pulled right out!!!) I have no extensions on today at all. 
It was a complete disaster.

That sucks. I would try the liquid gold on it's own.

Hi Kid,
What type and brand of tape are you using? I'm doing LG and supertape on some of my wefts and LG only on some. Experimenting before I try it on my daughters hair. Most stayed in fine but some loosen at different spots I believe I got conditioner on those areas.
So far, other than the conditioner issue, I prefer the LG only over LG and tape( too shiny and sticky) and sew-ins. ------------- ALL EYES ON ME |

Hey mal,
I like this better because it's much faster (less steps) and it lays perfectly flat against my head. I don't have to worry whether or not my braids are flat enough or will loosen. ------------- ALL EYES ON ME |

I'm not sure of the name brand of the tape but its the kind that has the little air holes in it.
I was gonna try again using just LG (as Malibu suggested) but if that doesnt work - I am back to sew-ins!
Ms.Honey - any advice on using the LG only method?

hey kidrobot, just a few thoughts. Did you use a clarifying shampoo prior to your install? When you installed them did you make sure to press them in really really well and 'set' the tapes with heat, I use a blowdryer. Aso....what types of sytling products do you use, and did you wait long enough for the first wash and keep the conditioner off of the tapes? ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

Kid, this is my first LG only and LG w/tape install. Sherrie would know more and be better able to give advice but what I did do which I think worked with both was to make sure that the LG was really tacky not sticky. Nothing should be on your fingers after you've touched the LG. I fanned it with just a folded piece of paper for about a minute made sure it was tacky, pressed the weft onto my hair really good and pressed it a few more times for good measure and went over the weft part with a hot curling iron. ------------- ALL EYES ON ME |

sherrie - No I didnt use a clarifying shampoo before the install. I did use a flat iron over the tapes to make sure it was sticking to the weft - but i guess it wasnt quite long enough? I waited 24 hours from the install before I washed my hair.
i also thought maybe it didnt work cuz the tape needed to be wider? I have machine wefts of hisandher cuticle hair and there is alot of hair on those wefts (compared to the previous wefts I had). But after reading your suggestions - I guess i just need to try again after a clarifying shampoo and try out all the other great ideas.
For now I am just bummed to have such "short" hair! Without my extensions I feel like my hair is short, limp and lifeless.
shoot - I am officially hooked.

One of the great things about this technique is that it's cheap and quick. I'm sure you still have enough of your supplies left to have your weave back in tonight and you'll be happy once again ------------- ALL EYES ON ME |

well the only reason I dared to attempt it was for cost efficiancy reasons. 
I just need to pick up some LG (and some clarifying shampoo!) in order to make another attempt.
 I dont think I have enough tape so I might get some of that too....

hang in there girl and give it another go before giving up. Alot of people have had the tapes fall out the first attempt, and the second attempt...waa la, works perfect, usually just by changing a few simple things. AFter that its just a matter of tweaking the method to suit you.
I dont think the width of the tape makes any difference. The short rows at my crown I cut the tapes to only 1/4 inch wide, and they hold just as long as the rest.
So I would start by making sure your hair is squeaky clean and very DRY...with no conditioner on your hair prior to install.
When you install make sure to set each row with heat. Get the tapes good and hot...and then press them like crazy...when you think you have pressed them enough, press them some more...I usually spend a few MINUTES literally on each row running my fingers over the finished row pressing them.
Then wait before washing...some say 24 hours. I try to go 2 days before washing the first time.
I havent had a taped weft fall out in FOREVER, and I can get 10-11 weeks wear out of them (with the addition of a little LG) and usually at takedown, I still have to work a bit to get them out because they are still secure. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

Hey mamma,
Have you ever done a LG only install? If so, how do they compare to the LG w/tape?
Kid, the supertape strips with the words on each piece I think, are supposed to be the stongest tape. I've lost mine so I used the supertape on the roll. ------------- ALL EYES ON ME |

Wow Sherrie! 10 - 11 weeks?! Thats inspiring. 
Malibu / Sherrie, ok ok, I will try the clarifying shampoo. You don't think it will dry out my already dry / curly hair?
Also - I had colored my hair a week before installing the tape only install. For future reference, how do you handle a root touch-up and then tape/LG install? How long should I wait after coloring to install?

I clarify poo too. You can condition and moisturize to combat drying hair once you've installed but just make sure you avoid getting it on the LG and tapes. ------------- ALL EYES ON ME |

I used LG for a long time. I had very good luck with LG, as far as longetivity. I could easily get 5-8 weeks out of a LG install alone, using the 'sandwich method' (this will increase the length of a LG install by a few weeks)
I found LG to be harder to remove. Not extremely hard, but definitely more work than tape for me. Seems LG just holds like cement in my hair.
Tape method alone I used for several months/maybe a year. I could get about 5-7 weeks wear. Sometimes a few loose spots that I would touch up with a bit of LG. Pretty easy removal.
Since I started combining the tape with LG, the wear time increased by several weeks. 10-11 weeks is now the norm for me. Granted they are usually well grown out with regrowth, and my roots look hideous, but they are still very secure yet when I do takedown, and rarely ever need to do any touch ups.
Removal with the tape w/'little' LG is still relatively easy. But I really think I should redo between 8-9 weeks....but I try to push it as long as I can for lack of time most times. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

Sherrie,
When you say to set the tape with heat, how are you doing that? Do you take a flat iron and heat the tape (with the paper still on) before you apply to hair? ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

Hey Metal, I use the flatiron to set the tapes to the wefts before I install them. Then after I install them (after I pull the layer of hair down over the top of the tape) I use the heat from the blowdryer to set the tape into my hair. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

I'm with you Sherrie on install....I flat iron my tapes once I fold them over and just hit it all the way across the tape with some heat to really seal them together.....once I put them in I also pull some hair down and press/gently come my hair straight down and then roll my curling iron from the top to cottom to set the tape and the LG.
I don't run LG from one end to the other though...I just hit both ends well and hit a couple of spots inbetween.
I generally take my out after 5 weeks....hate that floppy feeling after my hair grows out......lol......it's still secure but I like a new install feel.
I had alot of issues when I first started wearing the tape but I have perfected what works for me and it last.
Seal those wefts in the tape first....I also add a few spots of LG on the inside because I triple most of my rows....then do the rest.
YES...clariifying poo is definetely a big key to success......you can always add stuff to you hair after install...just keep it away from your tapes.
I don't usually wash my hair for 4 or 5 days after install. I have dry hair, so the longer I go the better my hair does.
Good Luck....it will get better with practice!! ------------- Thanks, JeepGirl Current install-Bohyme Bodywave #30 and #14 in the straight hair/ they didn't have the #14 in bodywave, so I mixed them...works great! |

Here's the update: I did my first tape/LG install on saturday using everyones helpful suggestions. So far so good!!! No lifting, no slippage, just a firm hold. 
Thank you to everyone for all their help.
 In a few weeks I will probably be asking for help regarding the takedown!

Hello all! This topic is a GODSEND to me today!
I got my weave redone a couple days ago and went down from 3 to 2 rows. For some reason, my lady thought that meant installing the 2 rows even higher up on my head! It looked RIDICULOUS! I do 4 wefts on each row and the top row was right at my crown. You could clearly see the big BUMP, especially when I pull it in a pony. So I took the top row out, had my husband sew the "top" weft onto my second row, and was going to go get another braid sewn in below that today. Anyhow I got a wild hair (literally as well as figuratively) about midnight last night and decided to play with the tapes. I love it.......so far. I am taking this other braid out in a bit and going to try the tape method solely.
Now for questions:
Which is the best tape and where do I get it? I think I got what I used last night on Shrinkies.
How do I take a row out that I have just taped in? I did a small row on the side and the placement is incorrect and too thick.
Sherrie, why do you have pieces that are only 1/4" thick? I know you say it is in the crown.
Can you do a temple to temple row or is it better to use separate tape for the sides?
I am sure I will think of more. Thanks everyone! This site helps me sleep better at night!

Also, how many rows do you guys do for a full install? I typically wear about 8 hand tieds ( hair short plus I keep a lot of layers). Would you recommend more rows but only doubled wefts or less rows with tripled wefts? Or does it even matter?
Where do you put the LG? Is it on the ends predominantlyto secure the tape?

well, last nite was my first shampoo since my tape & LG install on saturday. The tracks came out again. Dang it!  I am not sure what is going wrong.
So now I am wondering...should I try again without the tape (using just LG) or should I try a different brand of tape?
What other types of tape are good? (I have the kind with the holes in it - i think its called pro-tac?)
I would go back to sew ins but i am concerned about doing that because when the braids were removed I was left with a small bald patch at the beginning and end of one of the rows (one patch on each temple).
 Its about the diameter of a dime but at that rate I could have a real problem over time.   |

Hmmmm... I don't get it. When I did a LG install it stayed but I had those boogers.... You might want to try LG only and see...I don't know why you experienced bald patches but my guess is your braids were too tight. I've never seen that with my braids and if I did it would really upset me. I also (knock on wood) never suffered from the smell that people talk about with tracks or the itches. Those things would be a big turn off.....I'm not sure why some people experience that and some don't. Perhaps it has to do with care and maintaince??? ------------- |

Kid, what kind of shampoo are you using when your tapes fall out? I'm like you and if i use a moisturizing shampoo in the first week of my install, bam, tapes fall right out in the shower. So, I HAVE to use a clear shampoo on the scalp and tapes, then I use a moisturizing shampoo on the length. I have found as long as the shampoo is clear I'm fine, regardless of what brand. Right now I have some apple smelling green suave shampoo and some rosemary shampoo from avalon in the shower and both work fine on the tapes. After that first week of shampoos, I can then use my regular shampoo(hello hydration) without a problem.... ------------- |

Kid, did you use a clarifying poo on your hair first? Did you put any type of hair product on before you blow dried your hair and then did the install?
After install or next day, did you use any greasy hair products on your hair and get it too close to the roots and tape?
Do you have greasy hair or is your hair dry? What I mean is...how long can you go without washing your hair before it feels or looks dirty. We need more info on exactly what you do before/during/after your install.....don't leave anything out no matter how small or trivial it may seem....maybe we can figure out what is happening. ------------- Thanks, JeepGirl Current install-Bohyme Bodywave #30 and #14 in the straight hair/ they didn't have the #14 in bodywave, so I mixed them...works great! |

Awww, bummer kidrobot. I was hoping it was gonna hold for ya this time. My next thought is that it may have something to do with the products/shampoo/conditioner that you are using. I dont use anything that is really emollient, and I usually use a thinner shampoo. Nothing that is real creamy or heavy. I am befuddled....especially since you used LG on the tapes also.
The only time I have EVER had a weft come right out was when I used Abba Moisture Scentsations (TWICE). It had a really really STRONG minty scent, so I had to come to the conclusion to AVOID this type of shampoo. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

JeepGirl - on the day of install I used a clarifying poo and no conditioner (i did put a leave in on the ends once it was dry though but it didnt come near my scalp) My hair is usually dry so I can go for 3-4 days before i need to wash it.
Sherrie - Do i need to avoid moisturizing poo's during the duration of the install or just the first few times?
KristieMLove - Maybe thats what went wrong then? I used a mosturizing shampoo after my install. I only used the clarifying shampoo pre-install.
Malibu - I am considering using just LG. So far the sew ins was the best hold for me....
Asinnamon - i may try again and go for a week or so with a clar shampoo.
Now I just need to decide: should i try for a third time with tape/LG OR go for sew ins and risk another bald patch.

Poor thang. I know it's frustrating but you'll get it.
If you use tape again order some Supertape from Sherrie at http://www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com or from Kim at http://www.mymaneattractions.com - www.mymaneattractions.com I don't remember if Sherrie has the Supertape strips with the words on them, Kim does. Those are supposed to be stronger than the others and less shiny. Clarify with Pantene's clarifyer twice.
Are you following someones demo instructions? If so, whose? ------------- ALL EYES ON ME |

Supertape is supertape, they are all the same. No difference in the adhesive just the shape/form. Supertape comes in many various sizes and shapes, alot of options to choose from with that brand.
Kidrobot, I havent really had problems with moisturizing shampoos, some people have and they avoid them completely. Others just avoid them the first few washes. I just stay away from anything really thick or emollient ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

hehehe....let me rephrase ms.honey
you are right about shine, the supertape has a few different options regarding shine. The lacefront contours and strips have a red printed backing and are matte on one side, making them less shiny on one side. Then they have the SATIN thin sticks which is a completely matte tape. Supertape in general is less shiny that other tapes...but the adhesive is the same strength on all supertape. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

ya know I am not sure. But my guess is that the supertape rolls were the first of the supertape products, and as they have added more products maybe they have just introduced new products. But probably wanted to keep the original and not change anything.

hey kid, I just wanted to be clear.....Use a clarifying shampoo before your install, not after. Clarifying shampoos can be very drying and can be bad for extension hair. I use a clear shampoo, meaning see thru, not milky or creamy. And only for the first week(i have very oily hair so I cannot go more then 2 days w/o shampooing), after that I use my hello hydration and all is good. I don't why a week makesa difference, maybe the tapes just to 'seat' into my hair?? Anyway, just wanted to be clear so you didn't ruin your extension hair following my advice!! ------------- |

Maybe the brush you are using has product build up in it and it is putting that leave-in-product throughout your hair right before you install. If you have dry hair like me, then this is very possible. I use several greasy products to make my hair soft and shiney. Don't put anything on your hair before install.....wash and clean your brush. What kind of clarifying poo are you using.....maybe it isn't getting all the oils out.....just trying to find some reason for your bad luck on installs.
Sure hope we can figure this out for you.....trial and error is what it takes for some of us...lol.....trust me, my first few weren't all that great.....
Also when I shampoo and condition my hair....I tilt my head forward and pull my bangs towards my face and wash and heavy condition the top ONLY....flip it on top.....just make sure you have sqeezed the excess water out before you do this otherwise the poo and conditioner will run down in your tape......so with this piled on top I wash and condition the back length....usually I take my clarifying poo and wash near my tapes and use my good creamy stuff for the rest. Rinse the back holding your head back and I tilt forward to rinse the top. I've had no where near the problems I use to when I washed it all together. This works great for my tape! ------------- Thanks, JeepGirl Current install-Bohyme Bodywave #30 and #14 in the straight hair/ they didn't have the #14 in bodywave, so I mixed them...works great! |

On sunday I went ahead to try a third time with tape and LG.  I used my Pantene clarifying shampoo twice and dried my hair. i applied the tape and LG, then used the flat iron to make sure the tape was secure to the wefts.
I had better placement this time (one good thing from all the practice!)
Then ran the iron over the taped tracks just to make sure it was adhereing to the hair pulled over the top of the track.
It all feels secure and i keep pressing it on it from time to time just to make sure. Now I need to get some clear (not clarifying but also not moisturizing) shampoo for when i wash it next. I will try to wait as long as possible to wash it.
 I am so worried about it getting wet cuz that was all it took last time to get them to fall out. I used a mix of hello hydration and water on the ends this morning just to reactivate the curl. Im keeping my fingers crossed....

I am a hair extension specialist in Va and do a LOT of seamless skin wefts. I usually use a combination of tape and LG and have definitely found that using a shampoo that has any type of oil in it (I have all my clients read the labels on their shampoos, conditioners, AND styling products) causes the bonds to loosen. ' hope this info. helps

hmmmn...I had a look at the Garnier shampoo I have been using and it does have avocado oil and apricot kernel oil in it! 
So I will switch to the other shampoo I have and see if that makes a difference. I use Hello Hydration for conditioner but I forgot to check that label for oil.
So far the protac (no LG but i touch of latex glue to hold my double weft together) is at 10 days and holding.....

Hi Experts: when you remove the tape install, do you lose a lot of hair? Is it safe for thinning or fragile hair? How does it compare with the strand by strand methods? |

I've had good hair recovery with tapes after strand by strand damage. The above pics are the damage and the bottom ones are after a year of using the tape method.

Also, with the tape method, is it easy too remove? do you see a lot of hair in the weft when you remove it?

Thanks! My hair is very thin so I do like the added volume of extensions.
I've tried about every method of strand application I can think of. The damage caused by those pics are from microrings with the thread inside them. I've personally had good take downs with tape. I let the remover do all the work and only start to take them out after the tape's adhesive is good and broken down by the remover. I do have a hairball after wearing tape 6-8 weeks but I don't see any less thinning with my own hair. And I agree with you about the coverage with wefts.  ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

Is your hair red now or is that just the lighting of the flash? Either way it is very pretty!

I found the tape residue easy to remove with oil sheen. I saw a lot of hair on the tape residue and LG because it holds hair that would normally fall out from natural shedding. ------------- ALL EYES ON ME |
