Tape Hair Extensions

Tape hair extensions are temporary hair extensions that use double-sided tape to attach the extensions to a person's real hair. The tape comes in different types and strengths but is usually clear and flexible. Tape can be used for both human hair and synthetic extensions and allows one to reuse the hair more easily compared to more lasting hair extension methods. This makes taped extensions useful for many types of hairstyles.

 A Tape hair extension is a hairpiece made from human hair, and can be attached to the wearer's scalp by a specialized tape system. This product design allows for the temporary placement of one or more bands of natural hair in order to thicken the base or lengthen the style. The Tape system differs from conventional hair extensions because there is no gluing. The piece holds in place with double-sided tape, making the application process very straightforward. 
                                  




How to apply Tape Hair Extensions:-

 1. Part the hair into sections, exposing the upper most region of hair near the scalp. Use a comb to create horizontal parts in the hair and clip them with a hair clip. Parts only the area where you intend to install the extension. 

2 Pull the label off the skin weft extension tape to expose one sticky side. This is double-sided tape with adhesive on both sides. Leave one side of the tape cover until ready to attach the extension. 

3 Apply the exposed side of the tape to the uppermost section of hair next to the scalp. Do not apply tape directly to the scalp, but to the hair nearest that area. Tape will stick to skin once it clears the natural hair. 

4 Pull off the other side of the double-sided tape. This is the side facing away from the natural hair.

 5 Press the extension on to the exposed side of the tape. Run your finger over the extension attached to the tape to secure it.



Press down a hair straightener over the tape area for about 5 seconds, or hold a hair dryer over it. It melts the glue a tiny bit into your hair which just makes it that bit more secure and ensures no way of them falling out, there is nothing more annoying than that. Also, please make sure you use Indian hair extensions. It doesn't matter so much for clip ins, but remember these are in your hair permanently.



The process for removing tape hair extensions usually involves using a special spray or bottle of solution to weaken the tape's bond and remove any remaining residue from the natural hair. Some of the products used are also commonly used for removing glued hair extensions and can take some time to completely remove the wefts from the hair. There's also a risk of damage if one pulls too hard on the extensions when trying to get them out. One should keep in mind that some types of tape are much weaker and can be much easier to remove.

 Asian hair will not last as long and will mat up with your own hair and tangle. Indian hair won't. Also MAKE SURE it is remy hair.
