Tape-in hair extensions are a revolutionary method of adding length and volume to your natural hair. Utilising a double-sided tape, these extensions attach securely to your hair. Crafted in sleek, tapered wefts, the installation process involves placing a section of your natural hair between two of these wefts and firmly pressing down. This ensures a durable, smooth bond. When maintained properly, this bond is designed to last for up to 8 weeks.
Several reasons contribute to the rising popularity of these extensions:
- Ease of Application: They can be conveniently applied and removed without professional help.
- Natural Appearance: Their seamless blend with your natural hair offers an authentic look.
- Versatility: Just like your real hair, you can style these extensions in numerous ways. They're ideal for those desiring to add length, volume, or even a pop of colour.
- Safe Adhesive: The double-sided tape used in these extensions is of medical-grade quality and is heat-resistant. This ensures it remains gentle on both the hair and scalp.
Furthermore, when compared to other types of hair extensions, tape-ins stand out for their minimal potential for damage. They eliminate the need for heat, glue, or any sewing, making them a safer choice. For those seeking a short-term change in hairstyle, these extensions present a hassle-free option since they can be effortlessly removed and reapplied.

These hair extensions naturally air dry with a gentle wave, but to achieve the initial straight style, they require heat styling at 200 degrees.
