Tape in Hair Extensions
May 20th, 2012Tape in Hair Extensions are the latest in hair extensions are a great choice for anyone with almost any hair type. Tape in Hair Extensions are simple to apply and to remove and can last up to 6 weeks. A full head of tape in extensions takes only 30 minutes to apply and are extremely durable as well as reusable.
They have a strip across the top and that is where the tape is. Much like clip in hair extensions, tape in hair extensions are like a curtain of hair which is applied closely to the roots of your natural hair and then covered by a layer of your own hair. When choosing tape in extensions look for those that have the hair sewn into a clear skin base for a more natural look, especially when wearing hair up.
I also recommend choosing tape hair extensions that are made from 100% Indian Remy Human Hair. Since they last up to 6 weeks you want quality hair that is going to look great the entire time you wear them. Remy extensions can also be styled with a flat iron or curling iron and you can use styling products in them as you do your own natural hair.
Tape in Hair Extensions can be done at home although I do recommend you have a friend or stylist help you put them in so that you can get the best results possible.
The process for applying tape in extensions is much like that of applying clip in hair extensions except instead of clips, the weft is taped into your hair using a special adhesive. Your hair is parted and sectioned then layers of hair are ‘sandwiched’ between two wefts of the tape in extensions and then covered up by a top layer of hair.
