Let me start by saying, this review will be a long read, but I need you to know why I'm absolutely in love with this product and that this is not a paid review, nor did I get any hair for free to write this.

In the photos, you'll notice the hair is divided into bunches by length and that some has white tape while the rest has black. The extensions with white tape are extensions that I did not use in my first application. I mistook to 20" box for the 22" and ended up saving the 22" for a future application instead of removing the 20" and starting over. I did dye my hair with three of the bunches installed as well as doing 1 wash and condition with a special product before they were removed so that may be why the used hair looks slightly different from the new, but I assure you, it's all the same hair from the same seller from the same order. See below for products I used.

I have ordered hair extensions from Amazon for years now and until COVID, had usually gotten some decent products from all the different sellers like Full Shine, Lavoo, Googoo, Moresoo and so on. I'm sure the pandemic made producing and selling human hair extensions awful like every other business. I bought at least 30 different sets (1 set=full head) of tape ins between 2016 and now on Amazon alone.

After I kept having issues with product quality from nearly all my purchases on Amazon hair extensions (all application types like tape, sew-in, micro ring, etc.), I started buying from Zala. The hair I've gotten from Zala is always high quality, true to length, thick to the ends, 100% human hair, but I'm a diva on a budget, hence the reason I do my own hair and Zala hair costs at least 50-60% more on average than the pricier extensions on Amazon.

So, about this hair: it is without a doubt 100% human hair that is thick, bouncy, lustrous and silky. I am aware of the different things sellers do to make their hair appear of better quality/quantity than it is, from using chemical treatments that improve texture and color to mixing in fibers that look human to make the hair appear full. I do believe all hair extensions are "doctored" in some way, but not equally.

These extensions are also 3/4" longer than the length they are labeled as, true with all 4 lengths I purchased for this set, which is amazing being that most stylists cut and shape hair to blend with the client's hair after installing anyway.

I waited to review this hair until after I had worn mine for about 2 months as most hair looks and feels great at first, but some, after a few washes, turns ratty and dull. This hair did not do that.

I do take care of my extensions by only brushing when dry, starting from the bottom moving up to detangle the ends first or combing with a wide tooth comb if wet in the same manner. I condition the hair promptly after using shampoo with a deep conditioner. I rarely blow dry or use flat irons. I always sleep with my hair up in a bun. I do use clarifying shampoo every other week on the bonds/roots only because my scalp has a tendency to get irritated if not washed thoroughly around the bonds and this removes all oil build-up from the area that could cause the bonds to slip. This and any type of shampoo along with just daily wear will eventually dry the hair out. Be sure to take time to deep condition every strand each time you wash it. Use a comb if it's easier. Just be thorough!

At one point, I noticed my natural hair had more of reddish tint than the extensions so I used a Clairol Natural Instincts black to even the color difference. I'll only use semi permanent dyes on extensions to minimize damage. The hair maintained its soft, lustrous appearance and texture after coloring and again blended beautifully with my own hair.

The last wash before I removed this set, I used Silicon Mix (shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner and shine serum) as it is known to revive extensions. These were starting to feel slightly dry and began to tangle a little so I felt it was worth a try and it did work well on this hair. I believe that combined with the coloring is why my used extensions are shinier and the black appears deeper than the unused bunch.

I have applied new tape to the used extensions which was so easy! For tape that holds exceptionally well, it was also very easy to remove the old tape from the weft to apply the new. I used Big Kizzy's Remove and Reuse spray to remove the bonds from my hair. I usually end up with a lot of residue in my hair and have to use half a bottle of Big Kizzy Residue Remover to get all the sticky ick (and sometimes whole pieces of tape) out of my hair, but there really was *a lot* less than I'm used to and only had to wash my hair twice after using the Residue Remover. Each box of 50g does come with a little package of replacement tape, but not enough for each piece. If I could find out how to get this tape, I'd gladly buy more!

So, to summarize, I am very happy with my most recent purchase of Full Shine Tape Ins. It's beautiful human hair that stays silky and stays in place when installed on clean hair. It is full to the ends, blends seamlessly with my fine hair natural type. It has a cute soft wave pattern after washing when drying naturally. It doesn't tangle as easily as many hair extension sets I've had as long as it is properly cared for and conditioned. It is true to length with actual length being .75" longer than advertised. I purchased these extensions while there were some generous coupons available and was so happy with them, especially when I got such a good deal! I will be buying more when I'm done with these! Thank you for the awesome products!

I’ve been purchasing only Full Shine for a few years. In my opinion the hair is great quality and on par if not better than the most expensive well known brands. I’ve tried all of them and have been wearing extensions of all methods for more than 15 years. Full Shine is my go to brand. It’s affordable and excellent texture and longevity to the hair. Even the 24” length doesn’t tangle or shed. Tape in is my fave method simply because it’s more comfortable and light weight than beaded or k tip/ micro link. One tip- remove the tapes that come on the hair new and replace it with the extra tapes they send with package. For some reason the tapes already attached are very very strong adhesive and incredibly difficult to remove. I can wear mine 6 weeks without redoing and even then it’s hard to get the adhesive to come off. The extra tapes hold good but are not so intense to remove when the time comes. I usually mix colors but this review is for the 3/8/22 injected hair. It’s darker in person. And the blonde is very subtle. It’s a little off from the 3/8/22 regular tapes for some reason the colors are not a match. But the injected tapes are amazing for using around the face and part since they’re basically invisible. I use about 3 packs for a thick full head of regular tapes and 1 pack of the microlink for the bottom/ nape area. Well worth the cost and still less expensive than other brands.

I love these tape in extensions!! They’ve been in for a couple days the glue is strong nothing has came out, it’s the perfect length and perfect match of color. I bought 3 packs of it and the thickness makes my hair loook so much fuller. The quality of the hair is really good, I have the get black one and really there’s nothing bad about them. These are my first tape ins and i love them so much! When i go take a shower i do a hair mask so my hair stays very soft and not matte. I recommend these for your first time use!

This hair, so far, is amazing quality. For the price I was extremely skeptical, and honestly only made the purchase after coercion from a friend who had severe thing good to say about them. I bought two packs of 22” platinum and one pack of the 22” black and colored the blonde. They have been professionally colored, installed and cut and I could not feel more like that bitch. The hair is soft and not frizzy, the blonde hasn’t matted at all and I’ve had them in for about a week now and had my first wash last night. The quality post wash, with color safe shampoo and conditioner, is still amazing. The tapes haven’t moved and the ends- which are cut for my hair style of course- have yet to split or show any fraying, nor has any other part of the hair. I’m impressed with the quality overall and will hopefully update in the future with how they’ve held up. I have high expectations for this hair due to how great it has been paired with all the amazing reviews from internet reviewers and my friends personal experience. I would definitely compare quality to more expensive premium hair brands.

UPDATE:

I have had this hair in for long enough to need a color refresh and a move up. I have LOVED this hair! Thinning of course happens with tapes over time, and I will say I have noticed quite a difference in volume from the first install to this next one. Im not mad though! It feels and looks a little more natural now versus the very voluminous look I was going for previously. The ends are great with little to no damage or splitting and the tapes held hard the entire time. The blonde hair took my neon pink color with no problem and they have hardly even faded! The previously blonde extensions are also still smooth with no frizzing or matting as blonde extensions tend to occasionally do. If you take excellent care of your extensions, they will stay looking fantastic for the length of their life. I think the only thing that will prevent reuse- if you are in fact taking great care of them- is literally just going to be their eventual thinning. I which happens with any brand of tape in extensions!

My only gripe is how difficult it was to separate the tapes from my natural hair. This may be due to the citrus based extension tape remover I used, which I had never used before. I purchased it at my local wig store and it was very irritating to my scalp making it extremely uncomfortable to bleach my roots. It was like fire, and I bleach my roots every single month. There also was a considerable amount of adhesive left on my natural hair which was very difficult to remove.

So perhaps it was the remover, but god damn. If you’re concerned about the strength of the tapes, don’t be.

I will absolutely buy these again and will recommend them to anyone.

Honestly really good. I like to buy cheaper extensions but with that sometimes comes some quality issues. These have been great. The adhesives that come on them work very well and it does come with a few extras. the hair is clearly human and very nice. It dries a little too wavy for me but I’m okay with having to do a little styling. The color matches well but my hair is black so I don’t normally have problems with that anyways. They have a good weight, I bought three packs but I really could have done it with two. I used them to add thickness more than length because I have thinner hair. Haven’t had a problem with shedding or breakage. I’m about a week into my first install with these but I could easily see them lasting a few more times taking out and reinstalling. You just have to make sure you take care of them.

I have been wearing hair extensions for over 12 years and for the last year only tape ins. Full shine was the first brand I tried and I absolutely love them. Not only is the quality good, the tapes are the best compared to other brands I’ve tried. I wash my hair every other day and they stay in place. Usually around week 4-5 I start to feel like they need a move up but I could go as long as 7 weeks. Personally I like mine as close to the scalp as I can wear them and since I do them myself, I usually move them up around week 5.

I’ve tried Sunny hair and Goo goo tape ins as well and for hair quality and tape endurance, full shine wins. Their tape ins are also longer than what they say and are thick top to bottom. Where as the other brands seem slightly thinner towards the ends. They are my go to tape ins. The only time I’ve tried other brands is because they’ve gone on sale and I wanted to save a little money and to see how they compare.

As long as I take good care of them and oil the ends before washing as well as do a bonding treatment every time I wash I can get the hair to remain soft and silky the entire time I wear them. I also blow dry them on low heat and just braid to get heatless waves. The hair is usually naturally wavy but as far as how much will vary bundle to bundle as it is real human hair and everyone’s hair is different! So keep that in mind. The only reason for replacing them before the hair dries out is because after you’ve removed and replaced the tape at least once, I don’t feel like it works as well. So I replace with fresh hair just so I don’t have to mess with it. It can be very time consuming but as someone who does her own hair and loves the length and fullness tapes ins give, it’s worth it to me!! Highly recommend this brand!

Honestly for the price it’s not the absolute worst hair. The first week it was manageable and soft super shiny. The Second week was still manageable lost some luster and started to shed. The last two weeks it was so unmanageable it shed like crazy ratty and gross lost all of its shine / luster and had to be taken out before the 4 week mark.

And as for the upkeep and care of the hair I do sleep on satin pillows i do braid my extensions at night and I use all high end products. It did turn the water a nasty color when washing the hair for the first time. I was also not happy with the fullness of the ends when taking it out of the box. Honestly they were pretty thin all around. it took 250 grams to achieve a blended look (not a voluminous look) and my hair is not super thick. Also I had to reapply the tapes multiple times because they were slipping out of my hair.

So If you need something fast for like a wedding or photo shoot this hair could definitely do that but for long term wear this is not it.

Only leaving a four star review instead of five due to all the blonde shades are the same exact color.

I’ve purchased these extensions three times now in different blonde shades. Quality

Here’s a straightforward review you could use:

“I’ve bought these extensions three times now, and I’ll say they’re pretty good for the price—but if you’re choosing a blonde shade, don’t expect variety. I bought beige blonde, ice blonde, and another blonde previously, and all three were identical. Ice blonde had yellow tones, and beige blonde matched it exactly. So, if you’re buying blonde shades, it doesn’t matter—they’re all the same color. That part feels misleading.

That said, the quality for the price is good. I use my own tape for better hold. The photo I’m showing is before styling or cutting, just installed. I used a 20-inch pack and a 22-inch pack and have about a pack and a half in. After dyeing them pink, they held up well still soft. So overall, they’re good extensions, but be aware that the blonde shades are all the same. Just pick one.

Extremely bad and cheap quality I regret buying this hair brand, excessive hair falls , don’t get dry, not human or natural hair as they claimed, breaking hair simply a disaster- NOT RECOMMEND BY ALL MEANS

Es muy poca la cantidad

I got the hair in a very cheap bag with no logo or even brand name written nothing was written in the plastic bag cover and was so hard to return it as I don’t live in UAE , as if it was sent from home not a professional seller

I always order tape extension hair from Full sine. the last order was terrible, the tape is not good it is the worst quality of tape. I ordered a tape sparely but still the same problem.

Bought these before and they were good...most recent purchase the hair was frizzy right from the start
