Tape-ins are a form of hair extensions that are made of natural hair that actually get taped into your existing hair. Sounds scary, right? Well – it’s not! Think of a clip-in extension – it’s about 1-2 inches wide with double sided keratin tape. They are applied by placing one piece on a section of you natural hair. From there, we’ll pull the strand up, exposing the sticky side, and will place the second piece, to create a sandwich with your natural hair. Typically, the average head will use about 100 grams of hair – which is approximately 20 “sandwiches” – or 40 separate pieces of tape-in. These pieces are placed roughly in the same places that clip-in hair extensions would go. After they’re placed — Ta-Da! You’ve got yourself some beautiful tape-in extensions!
You’ll have long and thick hair, obviously! You may also decide if having this long hair is something you’ll want to aspire to after you get them removed. Tape-in hair extensions are made with real hair, so you won’t have to worry about damaging them with heat at all. Overall, you’ll be happy for your long hair.
