Tape-In Hair Extensions: Your Guide to Longer, Thicker Locks
So you’re ready for a hair transformation. Tape-in hair extensions could be your secret weapon for instant length, volume, and confidence. Let's chat through the details.
Pros of Tape-In Hair Extensions:
Instant gratification: No waiting for those slow-growing strands. Tape-ins give you the hair you've always dreamt of in just a few hours.
No commitment: Unlike permanent extensions, tape-ins are easily removable by us within 6-8 weeks. Think of them as a luxurious hair accessory we can remove for you whenever you fancy.
Damage-free: No glue, no heat, just gentle tape that bonds securely to your own hair. Tape-ins are kind to your natural locks, leaving them happy and healthy.
Versatile vibes: Want cascading waves? Sleek and straight? Bouncy curls? With tape-ins, the possibilities are endless as you can style them any way you like.
Low maintenance: Wash, style, and enjoy. Tape-ins are like your own hair – just a touch more fabulous. And regular salon visits for adjustments will keep them looking fresh.
Lifestyle adjustment: Sleeping in a high bun might become your new BFF (to prevent snags and tangles).
Who would be suitable for tape-ins?
Anyone who wants a little (or a lot) more hair. If you’re dreaming of longer length or craving some more volume, tape-ins are suitable for all ages and hair types (with a little stylist guidance by us).
How do tape hair extensions work?
Small, discreet sections of your own hair are sandwiched between thin, weft-like extensions with medical-grade adhesive tape. They stay put without pulling or damaging your natural strands. It's like magic, but with extra keratin. When they start to grow out with your natural hair growth after 6-8 weeks, it’s type for a maintenance appointment with us to remove and re-tape them back in.
Caring for your tape-in extensions:
Brush gently: Use a soft, wide-tooth comb to avoid snags and keep them tangle-free.
Shampoo with care: Avoid harsh shampoos and sulfates, and focus on the ends where the extensions are attached. Clear, non-creamy shampoos are ideal to use.
Conditioning is key: Regular conditioning keeps your hair (both natural and extensions) soft and manageable. Make sure to apply conditioner from midway down the lengths of your extensions to avoid the tapes.
Sleep smart: A high bun helps prevent friction and keeps your extensions looking fabulous.
Salon visits are essential: Every 6-8 weeks, your stylist will remove, clean, and re-apply the tape to keep your extensions looking flawless.
What can you (and can't you) do with tape-in hair extensions?
Styling: Curl, straighten, braid, ever dye your hair – your extensions can handle it (with proper heat protection, of course).
Swimming: Take a dip, just make sure to rinse your hair with clean water afterwards and let it air dry.
Gym: Go for it, but avoid any high-impact activities that could snag or pull on your extensions.
Haircuts: Just tell your stylist you have tape-ins so they can adjust your cut accordingly.
