FAQ
Q: Why do people prefer Tape-In extensions over other methods?
A: People prefer Tape-In extensions because they are considered the safest for hair and do not cause damage. They use waterproof, medical-grade adhesive, and the hair undergoes a cleaning, coloring, and treatment process before being used as an extension.
Q: What makes Tape-Ins different from other extension methods in terms of weight and damage?
A: Tape-Ins are virtually weightless, and the small piece of hair sandwiched between the extensions balances the weight, preventing damage to the natural hair follicle. Other methods may create weight on the natural hair, potentially causing damage.
Q: How do Tape-Ins contribute to healthier hair and less damage?
A: With Tape-Ins, less is done to the natural hair, reducing the need for heat styling and minimizing damage. The extensions promote healthier hair growth by preventing excessive damage, and the removal process leaves the hair feeling even healthier.
Q: How long does the installation and removal of Tape-In extensions take?
A: Installation typically takes about 30 minutes for a full head, depending on the amount of hair used. Removal may take around 45 minutes. Hair needs to be clarified and blown out before installing extensions.
Q: What is the process of removing Tape-In extensions?
A: A remover spray is applied to the tape, loosening it for easy separation. The extensions are then reset with new tape, essentially creating a new extension for reapplication.
Q: How long do Tape-In extensions last, and when should they be moved up?
A: The duration depends on hair growth and preference, with an average of 6-12 weeks before moving them up. The extensions are applied about 1/4 inch away from the root. Replacing the actual extensions is recommended annually or up to 2 years.
Q: Do Tape-In extensions require special treatment compared to natural hair?
A: For the most part, no. It’s important to avoid putting oils or conditioners close to the root where the tape is, as it can loosen the adhesive over time. Other than that, they can be treated like natural hair with washing, blow-drying, and heat styling.
Q: Are Tape-In extensions suitable for people with already thick hair?
A: Yes, Tape-In extensions can be used for both length and thickness, making them suitable for individuals with already thick hair. They are also recommended for those with damaged hair, providing options for color without harming natural hair.
