Tape in hair extensions are a popular, semi-permanent type of hair extension that uses a medical-grade adhesive to add wefts of hair to your natural hair. These extensions are known for their lightweight feel, natural look, and quick application process, making them a favorite among those seeking a hassle-free way to add length, volume, or color to their hair.

How They Work

Weft Design:

Tape in hair extensions come in small, thin wefts of hair with a sticky adhesive strip at the top. The adhesive is pre-applied, making the installation process smooth.

Installation Process:

Your natural hair is sectioned into thin layers.

A tape in weft is placed underneath a section of your hair, with another weft sandwiched on top, trapping your natural hair in between.

The stylist presses the adhesive strips together, securing the extension to your hair.

Blending:

The extensions are strategically placed throughout your hair to ensure a seamless blend. After application, the stylist trims and styles the extensions to match your natural hair type and length.

Maintenance:

Tape in extensions typically last 6–8 weeks before need reapplication.

During reapplication, the stylist removes the wefts using a gentle adhesive remover, cleans them, and reapplies them with new adhesive tape.

Care:

Use sulfate-free shampoos and avoid heavy conditioners near the roots to keep the adhesive strong.

Be gentle when brushing to prevent tugging at the extensions.

Tape in extensions are versatile and can be reuse multiple times with proper care, make them a cost-effective and stylish option for transforming your hair.
