Use Tape In Hair Extensions To Be Fabulous

By Christine White


There are so many new and innovate ways to change hairstyles without wearing a wig. These methods are less constrictive and detectable than the traditional weaving process and removal is fairly simple. Tape in hair extensions can present a variety of looks without pain or spending a lot of time in a salon chair.

Anyone who chooses this application will find it presents the best of both worlds but last longer than bonding glue alone but like a lacefront wig, look very natural. This method is a great way to make it look thicker and fuller. It is also great for anyone who wants extensions that last a few weeks.

Most of these styles are available in curly, straight and wavy styles with many color combinations. This is great for anyone who wants to change the texture or try out a new color. This is easier than using traditional coloring, which can either be too harsh on thin strands or not enough color for coarse or resistant hair types. There are also styles with highlights or trendy colors.

In relation to types, this method is does not require braiding or use of a net cap. It is ideal for anyone who wants more volume that looks believable. Coarse hair types can use this but like bonding, it is best done by a professional so that it is not detectable.

One factor that may come into question is lifestyle. People who are athletic or sweat a lot may find that they have to shampoo more often than before. While dry shampoo may save some time or be done sparingly, the hair underneath will benefit from a rich lather and water. The extra time will prevent mold that can result from the excess moisture that can get trapped between the scalp and tape.

Dry shampoo may work for the extensions but eventually, the tresses underneath will need a vigorous massage and cleaning. Also, the drying time of this type of extension can be longer for those who usually air dry. One solution would be to wrap all hair in a turban designed for fast drying, followed by using a blow dryer with low heat.

If a person has dry hair, a heavy conditioner or scalp oil will loosen the weft so it is best to remove during hot oil or deep conditioning treatments. One good way to retain moisture levels is to spray with a leave in conditioner or lightweight oil such as jojoba. Remember also that dry or brittle hair is the mostly likely to break so it is important to remove weft after a few weeks.

Nighttime preparation is essential to keeping all hair looking new. Braids or ponytails help prevent hair from getting matted or tangled. Wearing a silk cap or head wrap to bed may also be helpful.

This is considered an investment, so it is best to speak with someone who is a licensed cosmetologist and is familiar with this method of weaving. Instead of adding hair at random, they can advise as to what looks the most natural and suggest a care regimen. Taking this extra step is the best way to ensure that tresses will always look great.
