Everything You Need To Know About Tape In Hair Extensions

Posted By: Karalyn Johnson

How many times did you make the same wish, hoping to have beautiful long hair after waking up in the morning? I can say more than a thousand times.

Now, tape in hair extensions makes your dream come true. It is most requested hair extensions in the salon since the application and the removal is extremely short and there is little to no damage to your natural hair. It sounds really tempting. No women can refuse tape in extensions once they try them out.

However, before you throw it to your shopping cart, I will go over some benefits of the tape in hair extensions in the next to help you know more about it.

a. Minimal damage

The very first benefit I want to address is tape in hair extensions usually cause minimal to no damage to your real hair. In my opinion, it is the healthiest among the various different hair extensions types.

The most important reason is tape in hair extension will not pull on your scalp because of its lightweight. Other hair extensions options like clip in hair extensions, are usually much heavier, which can tend to be damage the hair that you have, can pull hair out and cause you to lose hair if you wear them frequently. The weight added is a great tension for your scalp. If you choose to wear fusion and micro ring hair extension, you will find they are easier to get knots with your natural hair and it takes your great effort to detangle. Yes, you want to look gorgeous with beautiful hair but definitely, dont want to risk your real hair.

Besides, the easy application and removal of tape in hair extensions are a great bonus. You don't have to spend a whole boring day sitting in the salon.

b. Decent amount of wear time  

Another benefit of tape in hair extensions (100% human hair) is that they do last a considerably long time, especially among the semi-permanent extension. You can get your tape in hair extensions last up to 8 to 12 weeks depending on how well you take care of them. It can be reused 2 to 3 times. You can come to your stylist like every 8 weeks and have tape in extensions moved back up and reuse them. So really honestly, I feel like it is a better affordable buy because you get to reuse them.

They do obviously come with a lot of maintenance and a lot of care, but they do last a pretty long time especially if you are someone who color treats your hair, 8 to 12 weeks is a perfect amount of time because when you take them out, you can get your roots touched up. So I think 8 to 12 weeks is a pretty good lengthy amount of time.

c. They are secure.

Some women are afraid of wearing hair extensions because they think it will slip out. But the truth is tape in hair extensions do stay in really well. You have the tape and the right amount of your real hair. Your hairstylist uses a little bit of heat to seal the glue. They aren't going anywhere and doesnt flip as easily until you remove them. When you have them in, you could brush your hair, pull your hair, braid your hair and whatever you wanted to do to your hair. None of the tapes came loose as long as you apply them correctly.

d. They are comfortable and look natural.

Unlike other hair extension options, tape in hair extensions is is a thin and flat piece of tape with the small amount of hair attached to it. The bond of the tape lies flat and invisible under your hair. You feel comfortable because it's thin and lightweight. No one really knew you had tape in extensions until they notice the length and the volume in your hair. No one can really tell that you had extensions. They look super natural and blend well with your natural hair as they are coming out from your head.

You can wash them, cut them, style them, curl them, dye them and whatever you want to do with them. It's super easy to do. You are able to do pretty much anything with them that you would normally do with my real hair.

The only thing that would be a little challenging is if you do color treat your hair and your roots start to come in, it's probably not going to be very easy to touch up your roots with tape in hair extensions. That's probably the only thing that you couldn't do, but pretty much anything else you can imagine you can do with tape in hair extensions.

You can put your hair up really easily. You are able to wear your hair in ponytails, in buns or pretty much any hairstyle that you want to. And the tape in really worked with your hair and I was able to put it up so it was really easy for work.

When it comes to tape in hair extensions, although it is the safe and healthy method to add volume and length, you really need to know the following things before you try them out.

e. Hair quality does matter

You're going to be wearing these extensions every day. You may work out, you may style your hair, put your hair up in a ponytail. It must be high-quality hair or you're going to have a very difficult experience with tape extensions if the quality of hair you purchase is not a good quality.

Tape in hair extensions are reusable or they should be ordered from a reliable hair vendor or hair supply store. Tape in extensions should be 100% remy hair extensions or even better virgin hair if the tape extension brand you choose does not have high-quality human hair. The tape and hair extension is not going to last you may get a three-month wear out of it but you won't be able to get three applications as you should with good quality tape in hair extensions.

f. Install by a professional hairstylist

As much as we all wish, tape in hair extensions were DIY. The truth is is that they do need to be applied by a professional in a salon. Preferably someone who is certified in tape in hair extensions. Although tape and hair extensions are super simple to apply, there are still many tricks out there to ensure that there is no damage, breakage and that the tape extensions last.

Tape in hair extensions should be applied by a trained professional someone who is also certified in tape in hair extensions. The reason why you want a hairstyle is that is certified in tape in hair extensions is that this stylist is specifically trained on this type of hair extension method. Throughout their training, they were able to have lots of practice and learn all the tips and tricks when it comes to tape in hair extensions.

Although tape in hair extensions are fairly easy to put in, there's many tips and tricks that trained and certified tape in hair extension specialists have learned throughout their training. Tape in hair extensions has certain tricks that help the tape extensions last longer and also do not cause breakage. If you go to a hairstylist or have one of your friends apply your tape in hair extensions and they don't have any training and they haven't really worked much with tape in hair extensions, your tape and hair extensions could slip out faster than expected or they could end up breaking your hair. That's why we always recommend going to a trusted certified professional when it comes to tape in hair extensions.

g. Talk to your hairstylist 

There are two different types of methods to apply the tape in hair extension. There's the regular double-sided method. This is where the hairstylist is going to be sandwiching two pieces of tape in extensions in between your own hair. However, if you have thin hair, the double-sided tape method may not be best for you. Only you and your hairstylist can decide this. It's very important to know which tape in method is right for you. The single-sided tape and Method is for women who have thin hair instead of sandwiching tape weft together.

You're going to use one tape weft and one single-sided tape. This method is going to put 50% less weight on your hair than the double-sided method and it's perfect for women with thin or fine hair. You definitely have to have this applied by a trained professional and you also have to choose which tape method is perfect for you. Is it the double-sided or this single sided? If you have normal to thick hair, the double-sided method is going to be great for you but if you have thin to fine hair, you're really going to want to look at the single-sided method.

Now, if your hair stylist is not trained with us or another company, they may not know the difference if someone with thin or fine hair ends up getting the double-sided method and their hair cannot hold it. There will be breakage so when it comes to tape in hair extensions, it's super important that you choose someone who you trust and someone who's certified and experienced and tape in hair extensions.  

h. Donts before installation

There can't be any same-day treatments. You cannot color your hair. You can't do any type of chemical processing the same day of application. All chemical treatments need to be done to your own hair one week prior to the application when it comes to your actual tape in hair extension application.

You want to make sure that your hair is 100% clean of product, oils, and conditioners. Your hairstylist should clarify your hair two to three times and not put any conditioners or products on your actual root. Tape in hair extensions should be applied professionally by a stylist and your stylist should know what type of hair extension method you will need.

i. How long should you keep the tape in hair extensions

With proper application tape and hair extensions will last anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks. Now that's a very wide range of time and here's why for women whose hair grows out really fast, their tape and hair extensions are going to need to be reapplied every 6 to 8 weeks. That's because as a tape extension start to grow down, your own hair is growing out and the tape extensions need to be replaced so that way they're not showing and they're not tangling. If your hair grows at a normal rate the tape extensions are going to last 8 to 12 weeks and that's with proper application and proper care.
