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.

Most of these styles are available in curly, straight and wavy styles with many color combinations. This is great for anyone who wants to change the texture or try out a new color. This is easier than using traditional coloring, which can either be too harsh on thin strands or not enough color for coarse or resistant hair types. There are also styles with highlights or trendy colors.

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.

Also, this hairstyle requires a little bit of maintenance. For one, it is best to shampoo after each workout to reduce the debris and moisture underneath. And brushing regularly will prevent the hair from matting or tangling.

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.

If a person has dry hair, a heavy conditioner or scalp oil will loosen the weft so it is best to remove during hot oil or deep conditioning treatments. One good way to retain moisture levels is to spray with a leave in conditioner or lightweight oil such as jojoba. Remember also that dry or brittle hair is the mostly likely to break so it is important to remove weft after a few weeks.

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.

Before making this investment, it may help to speak with a professional about the type and what is desired. For instance, a person who just wants volume may only require a few wefts but someone with a thick mane looking for length may need something different. They may have a specific directive to help the wearer get the most out of their extensions so that they will always look fabulous.
