Understanding Tape In Hair Extensions
What are Tape In Hair Extensions?
Tape in hair extensions are a form of permanent extensions and a modern invention to achieve fuller, longer hair in less time. Products such as our classic tape hair extensions come in packs of 100g, and come complete with 40 hair wefts topped by a thin adhesive tab – whilst luxury products such as our double drawn Remy Royale tape hair extensions or Invisible tape hair extensions come in packs of 50g, for a total of 20 adhesive wefts. These tape in wefts are used to “sandwich” around a small section of natural hair, without using any heat or rings. They are secured at the top with a sticky, medical grade adhesive tab that is attached to the hair.
The sticky part of the tape is covered by a paper tab that is easily peeled away when you are ready to use them, the sticky tab can be removed and re-taped with each use making this method not only super quick and easy but cost effective too.
Tape in hair extensions can also be used to achieve a subtle highlighted effect, by using balayage hair extensions, or daring streaks of colour for a trendy colour-block finish or bolder, more vibrant look.
The average application for a full head of tape hair extensions is around an hour and a half. Depending on your product of choice, they can cater to a vast audience including those with fine hair.
Tape in extensions must only be applied professionally by a qualified hairstylist or hairdresser who is familiar with the application process, they are not suitable for being applied at home like clip in hair extensions. The placement of the tapes will totally depend on the look you are trying to achieve and will be decided by your hairstylist.
Benefits of Tape In Hair Extensions
There are several alluring benefits to wearing tape hair extensions, one of the main ones being their overall natural look and feel. All of our tape in extensions are made from 100% Remy human hair, so the quality, texture and discretion is simply unmatched when it comes to blending with your natural locks. Comfortable and lightweight, these zero-fuss extensions are also extremely versatile when it comes to creating new hairstyles, but often look best when your hair is worn down.
Tape ins also boast a quick application process, with final results achieved in as little as under 2 hours in a salon. This method is perfect for those who want professional hair extensions but don’t want to spend too much time in the chair, all while adding volume, length, and enhancing hair texture!
When your tape ins are ready to be refitted or removed permanently, they can be taken out of your hair with ease by using a few spritzes of our citrus-infused, oil-based Tape In Remover. Tape ins can be reused multiple times, making them one of the most sustainable and cost-effective extension types on the market.
