Tape-in ​​hair extensions – everything you need to know about this method!

Tape-in ​​hair extensions are a good option for people who are looking for long-lasting hair extensions without having to worry about applying or removing the extensions daily. These extensions are made of human hair and are attached with adhesive strips that are attached to the hair. Tape-ins are very comfortable to wear and provide a natural look that is almost indistinguishable from your own hair.

How are tape-in ​​hair extensions installed?

Tape-in ​​hair extensions are attached to the hair roots using a special adhesive tape. The adhesive tape is applied to both sides of the hair and holds the extension in place. The process usually takes about two hours and should be performed by a professional hairdresser. Applying the tape-in ​​extensions requires no heat or other equipment and is one of the easiest ways to install extensions.

How long do tape-in ​​hair extensions last?

Tape-in ​​hair extensions can last up to six to eight weeks before they need to be removed. It is important to care for the extensions properly and not to use products that can damage the adhesive. As the extensions begin to grow over time, they can be adjusted to keep them in place. Tape-in ​​extensions are removed with a special solution, which makes them easy to remove without damaging your own hair.

Advantages and disadvantages of tape-ins:

Tape-in ​​hair extensions have advantages over other types of extensions. For example, they are easy and quick to install, look natural and are not hard on your own hair. In addition, they last a relatively long time and are relatively affordable.

The downside to tape-ins is that the adhesive used to hold them in place does not react well to heat or oil.
It is therefore important not to place the extensions too close to the roots to prevent the glue from loosening. Brushing/detangling the hair with your hands must be done carefully, otherwise the Tape-ins can come loose and cause hair breakage.

If you like to wear your hair up, tape-in ​​hair extensions are not a good choice. Wearing the hair up is quite difficult, the tape-ins are easily visible when you wear your hair up.
