Tape-in Hair Extensions are high-quality, pre-taped strips of human or synthetic hair applied to your natural hair using strong, double-sided adhesive. The extensions can last 6-8 weeks depending on your hair growth and how well you care for them. They need to be adjusted as your natural hair grows, so maintenance every 6-8 weeks is recommended.

To apply Tape-in Extensions, small sections of your natural hair are sandwiched between two pieces of the extension, with the adhesive strips facing each other. A professional stylist will ensure the extensions are applied close to the scalp but without tension, to avoid damage to your natural hair. Once applied, the extensions stay secure due to the strong adhesive. Proper care is essential to maintain their hold.

• Shampooing: Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to avoid breaking down the adhesive. Apply shampoo gently, avoiding the tape area.
• Conditioning: Apply conditioner only to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair to prevent the tape from loosening.
• Drying and Styling: Avoid using oily products near the tape area. Air-dry when possible, or use a blow dryer with a cool setting. If styling with heat, keep the temperature moderate to avoid affecting the adhesive.

When properly applied and maintained, Tape-in Extensions are safe and won’t damage natural hair. However, improper application, frequent removal, or harsh styling can cause damage. Tape-in Extensions are suitable for most hair types, but people with very fine or fragile hair may need to be cautious. If you have fine hair, it’s important to ensure the extensions are applied properly and not too heavy, as overly thick extensions can stress the natural hair. Working with an experienced stylist and using lighter extensions can help prevent damage and achieve a natural look.

Yes, Tape-in Extensions are reusable! After 6-8 weeks, the extensions should be removed, and fresh adhesive tape applied before reinstallation. You can easily replace the tape using replacement adhesive strips available for purchase, and use adhesive remover to safely take off the old tape without damaging your natural hair. Regular adjustments are necessary as your natural hair grows, usually every 6-8 weeks, to maintain a seamless and natural look.

When applied correctly, Tape-in Extensions remain securely in place for weeks. However, scalp conditions such as excessive oil production can cause the adhesive to weaken faster, potentially leading to the extensions loosening sooner. Proper care and scalp hygiene are essential to prevent this. Additionally, it’s important to slightly heat the tape after installation to ensure the adhesive bonds securely to your natural hair. This step helps reinforce the hold and prolongs the lifespan of the extensions. Regular maintenance and proper application by a professional will also prevent them from falling out prematurely.
