Tape-in extensions are a type of semi-permanent hair extension that uses thin, pre-taped wefts of hair to add length and volume. Here's how they work:
🔧 How They’re Applied:
-
A stylist sandwiches a thin section of your natural hair between two tape-in wefts.
-
Each weft has a strong, medical-grade adhesive strip at the top.
-
The result is a flat, seamless extension that lies close to the scalp.
⏱ How Long They Last:
-
Typically last 6 to 8 weeks before needing a reapplication.
-
The hair itself can be reused multiple times (often up to a year) with proper care and regular re-taping.
💡 Pros:
-
Lightweight and comfortable to wear.
-
Blend naturally due to their flat design.
-
Quicker to apply than many other methods (full head usually takes 45–90 minutes).
-
Great for fine or thin hair because they don’t cause much stress on the scalp.
