Step 1: Prepare your natural hair

Gather the top half up and secure it with a clip or hair tie, just make sure it is out of the way while you applying tape in extensions on short hair.

Step 3: Gather a thin hair strand

A general rule for applying tape in hair extensions is sandwich a thin strand of hair between 2 extensions, one on the top, one at the bottom then stick these two together. Use a comb to grab a very thin section of hair that has the same width as your hair wefts.

Step 4: Apply tape-ins

First, let’s start by attaching the bottom extension under the thin hair section. Lift up your thin hair strands. Peel off the trip that covers the tape attached to the bottom extension. Then tape it underneath the thin hair potion that you are lifting.

Next is to secure the top hair weft. Take the top weft and remove the trip covering the tape. Press it on the top of your thin hair strand. The top extensions and the bottom one should stick to each other. You can employ the pilers to press them firmly for more security.

If your extensions do not stick together, that means you have inserted too much hair in between them, gently pull out some strand off the bottom extensions with a brush

Step 5: Repeat the process

After finishing install tape in extensions on short hair at the back, now move to the sides and repeat the process till you have done all the hair extensions. You will decide the actual number of tape-in hair wefts depending on the density of your hair and the size of your head. Five rows of hair extensions is the number of generally used wefts.

Make sure your hair is dense enough to hide the tape-in to avoid being noticed.

Step 6: Cut and Style

Once you finish put tape in hair extensions on short hair, start to style your brand new hair as the way you wish.

To apply tape in extensions on short hair, you can do by yourself with instructions and practice in advance, you can have your friends help you do so or you can go to hair salon but it may cost you a bit.
