Get Longer Hair With Tape In Hair Extensions

By Christine White


Wigs or temporary hairpieces are not the only way to get a new hairstyle the fast and painless way. New ways of applying tresses that look more natural and less stiff than before allow for many different styles. The popularity of tape in hair extensions comes from an easy application and none of the bulkiness that came with previous methods, which also meant sitting in a salon chair for a while.

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.

Like most weaves there are many different types of hair a person can switch from as often as they like. Once a professional removes the taped weft, the wearer can try a new style if their tresses are in good condition. Anyone who wants color can do this without dealing with mixing of chemicals and the expectations that come with using dyes.

Many people like this method because of the lasting results without a base to secure the hair. Before weaves required braiding or use of a cap to keep it in place. While this may be used with coarse or thick tresses, it may be best to use a professional for the first time or two.

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.

The tape will also add to drying time so it may help to take one or two extra steps. A drying turban may be worn to reduce excess water after a quick towel dry. If a person has a portable dryer with multiple setting, they can go over the extensions carefully using a low setting. The idea is to not have too much heat near the scalp.

People with a dry mane should be extra cautious because heavy oils may cause the extensions to separate. To retain moisture, using a lightweight moisturizer after drying will help prevent breakage. Pure coconut or jojoba oils are good for keeping strands healthy without being heavy. Hair that is dry should also take a week or two from weaves so the tresses can return to normal.

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.

Before investing in this service or product, it may be best to speak with someone who is knowledgeable about the process and daily maintenance. A person looking to make their hair look thicker will have different needs than someone who wants for their hair to be longer or straighter. They can also make practical suggestions for which products can be used so that tresses will look salon fresh for weeks.
