Focus on Tape In Hair Extensions

Tape-in hair extensions are a method of hair extension application that uses adhesive strips to attach the extensions. This method is the most discreet and comfortable among the various types of extension application. The wefts are also lighter (40/50gr) than keratin extensions (0.65 to 1g) and cold extensions (0.8g). Tape-in hair extensions are recommended for people with fine and/or weakened hair.

What sets it apart from other extension application methods is that the hair is not treated strand by strand, but in larger sections of hair.

The application of tape-in extensions, like keratin and cold extensions, requires the intervention of a professional hair stylist. The extensions are sandwiched between two adhesive strips applied to a section of hair. Approximately 40 to 60 wefts are needed for a full head application, providing both volume and length. The application process takes only 45 minutes.

Tape-in hair extensions are reusable and can be reapplied using a special liquid to remove the used adhesive residue and replace it with new adhesive. Some people can keep their extensions for up to one year by changing only the adhesive strips.

The result is visible for up to 4 to 6 weeks. We recommend reapplying the extensions every 6 weeks.

To maintain the tape-in hair extensions, as with any hair extension method, meticulous care must be taken to maximize their longevity. We recommend using the complete Balmain hair extension care kit specially designed for hair extension maintenance.

After a tape-in extension application, it is important to wait 48 hours before washing the hair to prevent the adhesive from becoming loose. Then, shampoo at least once a week.
