Full Shine Tape in Hair Extensions Human Hair 18 Ash Blonde Highlight 613 Blonde Double Sided Tape Extensions 12 Inch Invisible Straight Hair Extensions Tape Ins 30G 20Pcs Extensions for Women

This is my first time ever having extensions, so that’s the point of view from which I’ll be evaluating these extensions.I’ve been having issues with hair thinning for the last year and my hairdresser finally sold me on the idea of tape ins. She recommended that I try these Full Shine hair extensions from Amazon because she’s had other clients wear them, and they’re very cost friendly for a newbie who may not end up liking extensions (spoiler I love how I look with extensions. The extra work is worth it).Up until this point, I assumed that hair extensions were always in the thousands, so I was very surprised to be able to buy the two packs I needed for $80. She had me buy a pack of 16 inch and a pack of 14 inch. I bought extensions lighter than my natural hair color and then hand dyed them myself using the dye I put on my roots and the color came out beautiful. I purchased extensions that had highlights in them, so that when I dyed them myself, there’d be a lot of dimension in the color, and it worked out.My hairdresser placed these, so I did have professional installation, and you can see the results in my before and after picture.Pros: these extensions are soft to the touch, and they actually blend really well with my thin fine hair. However, even though they feel soft, they’re definitely a coarser hair than mine, which is great because that means they actually hold a curl. I can curl these with a 2 inch barrel, let them cool, and then brush out the curls, and I have amazing waves that hold all day. I’ve been really happy with the texture of the hair.I wore this set for six weeks and none of the tape slipped with me washing my hair about once every 5 to 7 days. I did use heat styling on these and everything was fine.They felt heavy at first, but after the first four or five days I got used to the feeling and as they started to grow out they became more comfortable. I had them taken out at six weeks so I could re-dye my roots and move them up.Cons: these extensions definitely shed a lot. In the six weeks I wore them, everytime I brushed my hair there was hair all over the sink which has never been a problem for me. And when I was cleaning them up and examining them for reuse I could definitely tell that the used extensions (versus the few leftover new ones we didn’t use) were about 25-40% thinner than the new ones so these extensions do lose hair rather quickly. Some of the ends got pretty scraggly. That being said, even though they were visibly thinner, I still went ahead and re-taped them and had them installed for a second six weeks. My hair dresser ended up trimming off the raggedy ends. The after picture attached is actually day one of my second six week cycle so those extensions are six weeks old. I think 12 weeks will probably be the max for these extensions before they are too scraggly to rewear, but that’s still really good for $40 a pack I think.Another con is that they don’t come with enough tape strips to fully re-tape all of them. My hairdresser had to give me some from her stash.If you are brand new to extensions, I’d say for sure give these go. But I’d recommend having them professionally installed if you can. I think there is an art to placing these so they are comfortable and concealed, which is what you get when you pay a hairdresser. Ulta has good rates for a professional installation.

****Final update 2021!*** couple years of use!I have only used this hair for the past few years now. It is my favorite. The hair quality is wonderful especially for the price. It Is always consistent looks great and blends great, and the tape is perfect now. My hair stays in anywhere from 8 to 14 weeks even, depending how well I was taking care of it. It is the only product I recommend to all of my friends. They also have an awesome loyalty program basically where you order so much when you get free hair! I consistently have people telling me how much they love my hair and are blown away to find they are extensions and even more taken back to find out how inexpensive they are and that I do them myself. I love you fullshine 😍**Update 2019**After changing my original review previously from 5 star to 1 I was contacted shortly after by a rep from the company. They explained that the tape was too strong before and they had to fix it and in doing it might have been made to be not adhesive enough now. They assured me they would be discussing with their manufacturer about this issue and offered to send me all new hair as well as a thing of extra tape. I am extremely satisfied to know that the customer service was so great and on top of trying to resolve this issue for a customer. In doing so I’ve changed my review to 4 stars being that I don’t know how these next extensions will fair since I did agree to try one more time, but the customer service is wonderful.**** original review 2019I had never done tape ins before these. Freaked me out thinking about the possibility of tearing out what little hair I do have ha very fine and thin. I have tried every other style of extension to give my sad head of hair some life. So I decided to take the plunge. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and decided to go ahead and do them myself cause I’m a DIYer. The hair came on time, just needed one pack for my hair, super soft and matched perfect. Installed myself first time, took an hour. They looked amazing(see first pic). I did some slight trimming and blending myself since my natural hair is pretty much one length. Tons of compliments but definitely took getting used to; I got the 24 inch so I felt like I was always going to sit on them. The ends break after awhile since they dry out figured I’d get my monies worth just by trimming these lol.But I don’t know if it’s my fault or the tape, they started sliding after 1 or 2 weeks. Finally no salvaging after a month of reheating one piece here and there. Did a second whole new set, same thing happened. I use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner but I do take a lot of baths and sweat a lot with exercise, so maybe it’s my fault the tape failed both times. Kind of a late realization lol. Going to buy a round again cause I did like the hair and the price is great, and I’ll try my best to thoroughly scrub and not condition before install, and no bath soaking with conditioner water lol. I will update my review after.Oh also tape was a little shiny so can see through my thin hair if not covered enough haha

Great price for the hair, I get the 22" shade #1000 white. They are very soft. Ive tried multiple expensive brands for tape ins to find what works the best for me and these ones are very good and I've purchased them multiple times. Will buy again!

Quedé impactada con la calidad del cabello es muy hermoso tan sedoso y manejable lleno de raíz a puntas totalmente cabello humano lo recomiendo al 100%

I am so happy with how these turned out! I bought them about a month ago and they have no slipped or moved out of place! I do my regular hair care routine and they manage to remain still so soft and silky! The price i paid was worth every penny!

Love them. Very good quality,blends in well with your hair. Easy to look after.

Great product
