What is Tape In Extensions
Tape-in extensions are a form of hair extension that can be applied by even the most inexperienced of stylists in as little as 20 minutes. Your care will be consisted of taping your existing hair to two polyurethane tapes arranged in a ‘sandwich’ formation with your hair in the middle, and then simply sew the tapes into your own hair (this sounds more painful than it actually is). For those who desire something more permanent, we offer micro-links, which are similar to tape-ins, but are sewn into the head instead of being attached by adhesive.

Reusing the tape will likely extend the life of your extensions, especially if you add a protein-based sealant to the leftover strands.

Apply a leave-in conditioner or serum to moisturize your hair, then twist and clip sections of your hair before going to bed.

The Pros And Cons Of Hair Extensions
Pros
Tape-in hair extensions are among the fastest semi-permanent methods of styling. Volume applications take about twenty to thirty minutes and full-length applications take about forty-five to sixty minutes. They are less expensive than other methods and require minimal tools or heat. Tape-ins lay flat on the head, making them nearly undetectable. They are suitable for thin, fine hair but do cause some damage to the client’s natural hair.
Cons
If you have to sweat excessively or wash your hair over the next day or two, it is important not to exercise or get your hair wet until after the bond has set. You must allow time for it to cure before using oils or silicone (even conditioners and shampoos that contain silicone as a component). If your tape-in hair extensions slip in any way, simply smooth them back into place. They should feel secure when they are in place. Tape-ins require more maintenance than clip-ins, costing you more in the long term. They need to be moved up every six weeks to ten weeks with your natural hair growth, depending on how fast it grows and can cause irritation if you do not care for them properly.
Tips To Ensure Hair Extensions Last Long Time
Prepare your hair before you have tape-in extensions installed by using a sulfate-free shampoo. Don’t use any other hair care products besides a sulfate-free shampoo during the installation. And don’t use any chemical treatments—hair dyes, keratin treatments, etc.—on your hair at least 1 week before you get the best remy human hair extensions sew in installed.
After the installation, wait 72 hours before washing your hair to give the adhesive a chance to bond properly. When you do wash your hair, use only sulfate-free shampoo. After the initial wash, you may use a sulfate-free conditioner as well. Don’t use any sprays, treatments, or any other products directly on the tapes.
