What are tape-in hair extensions?

Tape-in hair extensions are similar to clip-on hair extensions, however, instead utilising a clip, several small sections of hair are semi-permanently affixed to your existing hair with medical-grade adhesive strips. They are a fantastic way to add fullness, colour, volume and length to your hair while remaining comfortable to wear. But before deciding on this style of hair extension, there are some pros and cons to consider.

Pros of tape-in hair extensions

• Add fullness, colour, volume and length

• Good for people with thin or damaged hair

• Semi-permanent, long-lasting

• Gentle to put in place

• Comfortable to wear

• Easy to have professionally installed and taken out

• Can style hair as you normally would

Cons of tape-in hair extensions

• Not a DIY option

• More expensive than a clip-on

• May cause damage if not installed properly

Tape-ins need to be aligned correctly to avoid discomfort and damage to your hair. They also require skill to remove. An experienced professional at a Vancouver hair extension salon will ensure your tape-in extensions are situated correctly. They'll aslo have the necessary solutions to remove the adhesive safely when it comes time to remove them.

Tape-in hair extensions come in a large variety of colours and textures. Synthetic versions are available, however real hair and Remy hair look and feel the most natural. With proper care, you can expect these extensions to last between 4-to-10 weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows. Additionally, you can expect a complete installation to take anywhere from 1-to-2 hours.

Imagine yourself with a full head of gorgeous locks lasting all season long and into the new year!
