What is regular tape in hair extensions?

Regular tape in hair extensions are a type of permanent hair extension made of a 4cm wide weft of hair that is attached at the top with a sticky tab, which is then bonded to the natural hair. The adhesive used in tape extensions is a gentle medical-grade glue, similar to the one used in bandages and other medical applications.
Advantages and disadvantages of tape in human hair extensions
Advantages:
- Comfortable: When applied correctly, tape-in extensions are comfortable and do not cause any pressure on the scalp or hair roots.

- Easy application and removal: Tape-in extensions are simple to apply and remove, and you don’t necessarily need a professional stylist to do so.
Disadvantages:
- Visible: Tape-in extensions can sometimes be noticeable, especially if not applied carefully.
- Not ideal for oily hair: Those with naturally oily hair may find tape-in extensions less suitable.
- Limited for certain hairstyles: Tape-in extensions may not be the best choice for those who frequently wear ponytails or high buns.
- Possible adhesive residue: If not removed properly, tape-in extensions can leave adhesive residue behind.
How Do Tape In Hair Extensions Work?

The adhesive side of the tape is protected by a paper tab that can be easily peeled off when you’re ready to use the extensions. The sticky tab can be removed and re-taped with each application, making this method not only quick and easy but also cost-effective. Tape-in hair extensions are available in a variety of lengths and colors, and they can be cut into smaller sections to create a subtle highlight effect.
How To Apply Tape In Extensions?
To apply tape-in extensions, two wefts are placed together, sandwiching your natural hair in between. It’s recommended that the section of hair between the tapes is slightly narrower to prevent stray hairs from sticking out. The thickness of the hair between the tapes should also match the thickness of the tape itself to ensure the hair can support the weight of the extensions.
Using too little natural hair to apply permanent extensions can cause damage or hair pulling, so it’s important to match the weight of the extension with the amount of hair used. The positioning of the tapes will depend on the desired look, and your stylist will decide where to place them. A brickwork pattern is often preferred for a more natural finish.
