What Are Tape-In Extensions?
Tape-in extensions are hair extensions that are installed using medical-grade adhesive tapes. They are one of the most popular ways of adding length and volume to your hair, and for a good reason: the tape-in extension will give you beautiful, natural-looking results with minimal effort.
If you are not ready to commit to a hairstyle for many months and instead want something that can be easily changed whenever you feel like it, tape-in hair extensions are for you.

What Are The Benefits of Tape-In Extensions?
1. They are easy to apply and remove
Some types of hair extensions take several hours to install, but an experienced hairstylist can get these done during your lunch break - in as little as 30 minutes.
2. They are relatively affordable
Tape-in extensions cost significantly less than other types of hair extensions, so they are a great solution for those who are just starting to experiment with extensions.
3. They can be reused several times
Sure, they aren't exactly cheap, but the fact that you can reuse them over and over again makes them a smart investment into your beauty and confidence.
4. Endless placement options
Tape-in extensions allow the hairstylist to find the best way to position your extensions for a perfectly natural added volume.
5. No damage to your hair
Tape-in hair extensions are applied without heat or harsh chemicals, so they will not damage your natural hair in the slightest.
6. Suitable for all hair types
Tape-in hair extensions are a good option for all hair types regardless of length, texture, or color and can even be used on hair that has already been damaged, making them a lifesaver for people with brittle or chemically burnt hair.
How Are Tape-In Extensions Applied?
The process of Tape-in extensions s relatively simple. They are applied below and above a thin horizontal section of your own hair using medical-grade adhesive tape.
For remaining perfectly natural and invisible, as well as comfortable to wear, you will still need a skilled, trained hairstylist who will know precisely how to section your hair and how to install your tape-in extensions in a way that they remain.
You don't want to try this yourself; it will never look as good or be as comfortable as professionally applied extensions!
How to Care For Tape-In Extensions?
The better care you take of your tape-in hair extensions, the longer they will last, and the more times you will be able to reuse them.
Taking care of your tape-in wefts is not difficult, but there are a few things you will need to remember if you want them to last as long as possible.
1. Only brush when dry
Hair extensions, just like natural hair, are weaker when wet, so if you brush them right after washing, they might get damaged. Use a wide-toothed comb to gently comb through your hair when it is completely dry, and make sure you hold the extensions at the roots when brushing to minimize pulling.
2. Brush them often
Brush your hair at least a couple of times a day to reduce tangling.
3. Heat protectant
Always use a good quality heat protectant when using heat styling tools on your hair. That includes hair dryers, curling or flat irons, hot rollers, and any other tool that uses heat on your hair directly or indirectly.
4. Don't weaken the glue
Never use heat styling tools or oil-containing hair care products directly on the adhesive – they will weaken the bond of the glue and shorten the life of your tape-in hair extensions.
5. Don't sleep with wet extensions
Sleeping with wet tape-in extensions can damage not only the extensions but your own hair as well, so make sure your hair is completely dry before going to bed.
6. Put it up before bed
To make your tape-in extensions last as long as possible, put your hair in a bun, a low ponytail, or a braid before bed in order to minimize tangling and breakage.
How to Remove Tape-In Extensions?
It is very important that you have your tape-in extensions removed by a professional hairstylist. They will use a special alcohol-based solution that weakens the glue so they can remove the wefts without damaging them or your natural hair.
If your tape-in hair extensions are still in good shape, you will be able to use them again. Your hairstylist will probably tape them ½ inch lower this time, so they match the natural growth of your hair.
