Tape Hair Extensions: The Complete Guide
Tape-in hair extensions are one of the most popular and versatile extension methods available today. At Fergal Doyle Hair in Bristol, we fit professional tape extensions at both our Clifton and Stoke Bishop studios. Here is everything you need to know before booking your appointment.
How Tape Extensions Work
Tape extensions consist of pre-taped wefts of hair that are applied using a sandwich method. Each weft of extension hair is placed above and below a thin slice of your natural hair and pressed together so the adhesive bonds them flat against the head. The result is seamless, natural-looking extensions that sit close to the scalp and move freely.
How Long Do Tape Extensions Last?
Tape extensions typically need to be moved up every 6-8 weeks as your natural hair grows. The extension hair itself can be reused multiple times with proper care, making them a cost-effective choice over time. High-quality tape extensions can last 6-12 months of wear before the hair needs replacing.
Tape Extension Aftercare
To keep your tape extensions looking and feeling their best, avoid applying conditioner, oils or masks directly to the bonds, use sulphate-free shampoo, brush gently from the mid-lengths down before washing, and sleep with hair in a loose plait. Avoid excessive heat near the bond area.
