Tape Extensions

10 sandwiches | 50g

What Tape extensions are

Tape extensions are thin wefts of Remy hair held between medical-grade tapes. Two pieces sandwich a fine section of natural hair, creating a flat, comfortable join that disappears under the top layers.

Who they are suitable for

A strong choice for adding length and volume quickly. Suitable for most densities. Fine hair can wear tapes well when sections are kept slim and placement is professional.

Tape-in hair extension sandwiches

Key benefits

  • Flat, comfortable and quick to fit
  • Natural fall with no bulky bonds
  • Hair can be reused with fresh tape
  • Excellent for length and all-over density

How they are fitted

A stylist sections the hair and places taped wefts in sandwich pairs. The tapes are pressed firmly so they bond to the natural hair, not the scalp. Rows are placed to stay hidden when the hair is worn down or loosely up.

Maintenance

Expect a tape move-up every 6–8 weeks as the hair grows. Avoid oil-based products on the tapes. Brush with a loop or extension brush, supporting each row.

Expected lifespan

The hair itself can last many months with reuse. Individual tape applications typically wear until the next maintenance appointment.

Removal and refitting

A professional remover is used to release the tape without pulling. Home removal can damage both the extension and natural hair.

Care and aftercare

Keep tapes dry of conditioner and oils. Wash gently, rinse thoroughly around the joins, and dry the tapes fully. Avoid clipping or tying hair tightly over fresh tapes.

FAQs

They feel different for the first few days, then settle. Correct, flat placement should feel comfortable for daily wear.

Yes, but they must be dried thoroughly. Leaving moisture in the tape line can weaken the hold.

It depends on your natural density and the result you want. Your stylist will recommend a pack count during consultation.
