Get Longer Hair With Tape In Hair Extensions

By Christine White


There are so many new and innovate ways to change hairstyles without wearing a wig. These methods are less constrictive and detectable than the traditional weaving process and removal is fairly simple. Tape in hair extensions can present a variety of looks without pain or spending a lot of time in a salon chair.

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.

There are a wide variety of styles from which to choose, along with hair colors. Anyone who wants to go from dark to light or straight to curly without chemical will find these extensions easy and without discomfort. This also reduces the risk of skin allergies that come with coloring ingredients.

As long as the strands are relatively healthy, there is no need to braid it in preparation for the extensions. Anyone looking for volume can have it in a matter of minutes. People looking to add more length have choices as well. Either way, it is best to consult with a professional first.

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.

While the extensions will benefit from dry shampoo, the actual natural strands will need more attention. Anyone who washes their real hair daily and lets it air dry will be in for a big surprise. The section that is taped will need more drying time. One shortcut would be to wrap hair in a thick towel after washing or conditioning. Then create one quarter head sections and use a hand dryer on low.

People with extremely dry hair should always take extra steps to ensure moisture balance. Heavy oils will cause the tape to separate from the strands, so using a lightweight conditioner after shampooing will be beneficial. Pure or organic oils like coconut are good choices because they absorb into strands quickly and without residue. Removing extensions every few weeks is best so that the natural mane can undergo a deep conditioner or hot oil treatment.

In order to stay looking good during the day, preparing for sleep time takes discipline. Placing in braids or an upward ponytail will prevent tangling that can occur while resting. Wearing a satin cap may help to keep hair from drying out.

This is considered an investment, so it is best to speak with someone who is a licensed cosmetologist and is familiar with this method of weaving. Instead of adding hair at random, they can advise as to what looks the most natural and suggest a care regimen. Taking this extra step is the best way to ensure that tresses will always look great.
