Tape-in extensions are ideal for adding length, volume, and thickness to your hair, giving you a fuller and more luxurious look.

These extensions are made from human hair and can be treated like your own—styled, curled, straightened, and even colored.
They offer a long-lasting solution for those seeking a natural look with minimal maintenance.

How to Use:
Materials Required:
- Tape-in Hair Extensions Kit
- Sectioning Clips
- Fine-tooth Comb
- Heat Protectant (optional, for styling)
- Extension Tape (usually comes with the kit)
- Flat Iron or Pressing Iron (optional, for securing tape)
Steps for Application:
-
Prepare Your Hair:
- Start with clean, dry hair. Wash your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to ensure that your natural hair is free of oils and residues.
- Do not use any leave-in conditioners or serums, as these can prevent the tape from adhering properly.
- Brush through your hair to remove any tangles and ensure a smooth surface for the application.
-
Section Your Hair:
- Part your hair into sections. Use sectioning clips to divide your hair into manageable parts, starting from the bottom and working your way up.
- Create small, even sections of hair where you will place the extensions. Make sure the sections are thin enough for the tape to lay flat.
-
Prepare the Tape-In Extensions:
- Take a strip of the tape-in extension and peel off the protective backing to reveal the adhesive side.
- Position the extension with the adhesive side facing your natural hair.
-
Apply the Extensions:
- Take a small section of your natural hair (about 1/4 inch thick) and place it between two strips of tape-in extensions.
- Press the tapes together firmly, sandwiching your natural hair in between the two strips. Ensure the tape is aligned with your roots and the extension is flat against your scalp.
- Repeat this process, working your way through the sections of your hair. Be sure to leave small gaps between the tapes to ensure that they lie flat and don’t cause discomfort.
-
Press the Tape for Extra Hold:
- After applying the extensions, you can use a flat iron or pressing iron on a low heat setting to gently press the tape for a few seconds. This helps the adhesive bond securely to your natural hair.
- Avoid using too much heat, as this can damage the adhesive.
-
Blend and Style:
- Once all the tape-in extensions are applied, gently comb or brush through your hair to blend the extensions with your natural hair.
- Style as desired—curl, straighten, or leave your hair in its natural texture. You can also trim the extensions to blend them better with your hair's length.
Tips for Long-Term Care:
-
Avoid Oily Products: Avoid using oils, serums, or heavy conditioners near the roots, as they can loosen the adhesive. Use a lightweight, sulfate-free shampoo.
-
Gentle Brushing: When brushing your hair, use a gentle approach, especially near the roots where the tape-in extensions are applied. A wide-tooth comb or a brush with soft bristles is ideal.
-
Avoid High Heat on the Tapes: While the hair can be styled with heat tools, avoid applying high heat directly to the adhesive tapes to prevent them from loosening.
-
Regular Touch-Ups: Depending on your hair growth, the tape-in extensions may need to be moved up every 6-8 weeks. Visit a professional stylist for touch-ups to ensure the extensions stay secure.
-
Gentle Washing: When washing your hair, avoid scrubbing the roots vigorously. Instead, lather the shampoo in your hands and gently apply it to the hair without disturbing the tape bonds.
-
Sleep Care: Consider wearing a loose braid or using a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and prevent tangling while you sleep.
With Tape-in Hair Extensions, you can achieve a full, natural look without the commitment of permanent extensions. Whether you’re looking to add volume, length, or both, tape-in extensions provide a discreet, secure, and comfortable solution that lasts for weeks.
