What are Tape-Ins?
Tape in hair extensions are a semi-permanent option that usespecially formulated, scalp friendly adhesive tape to attach at your naturalroots. Applied by a professional hair stylist in a salon environment, the weftsare carefully attached to be disguised within your natural partings. Tape-inextensions can last up to eight weeks before needing to be removed andreadjusted up the hair shaft. Their easy maintenance makes them an attractiveoption for people that lead a busier lifestyle.
What’s the Tape-In application like?
When visiting a trained hair professional, you may require aconsultation appointmentfirst. Your stylist will assess the condition, length, thickness, and textureof your natural hair to advise you on how many packs of tape-ins you requirefor your desired look. Here at Foxy Locks, our tape-in range includes 20pre-taped pieces, at 50 grams of hair per pack.
Tape-in extensions have a relatively quick application timefrom start to finish. Beginning on freshly washed and dried hair, combed intomanageable sections. The application method involves taking a Remy tape-inextension piece and placing it at the root of your natural hair. The adhesiveis exposed, and your natural hair is laid over the top to sandwich onto theextension. Your stylist will use a tail comb to firmly secure in place andensure that the extension lies flat against your head in the right direction.
How many packs do I need?
The number of packs of hair extensions you will need willdepend on your hair’s natural thickness. Typically, we recommend 1-2 packs forfine hair, 3-4 packs for medium hair, and 4+ packs for thick hair. This amountcan vary, depending on personal preference and condition of your hair. You donot want to add any unnecessary or excessive weight to hair that is heat orbleached damaged.
Why choose Tape-Ins?
Foxy Locks Remy tape-in extensions are salon quality,created for the purpose of adding luxurious length and enviable volume to yournatural hair. We use the same premium standard hair as our clip-in extensions,meaning 100% human hair, flawless full ends, and silky soft to touch. Our invisibleweft design and expert colour matching service allows you to achieve acompletely seamless blend. With the right placement, your hair can be worn upor down, heat styled and washed as usual.
How long-lasting are Tape-Ins?
Your tape-in extensions will need to be removed andreapplied every 6-8 weeks according to new regrowth. Your stylist will apply aspecial dissolving solution that breaks down the adhesive, allowing theextension to simply slide out of its secure hold. New tapes will be placed onthe extensions to replace the old adhesive, then the process begins again withapplication on clean hair. With this method, your tape-in extensions shouldlast up to a year or more with the correct maintenance before needing to be replaced.
Do tape-in extensions cause damage?
No! A common myth (that needs to be dispelled) is thattape-in extensions cause your hair to fall out. This only occurs when they areimproperly applied, incorrectly removed, or that they are not well maintained.It may appear like hair is pulled out during the removal process; however thisis just the natural shedding process occurring stuck to the extension. Tape-inextensions are actually one of the least damaging types of hair extensions whencompared to K-tips or micro-links. Tape-in extensions aren’t advised for anyonewith already compromised hair or scalp issues. Dry or damaged induced frizz onyour natural hair will mean that your texture doesn’t blend with the extension.Additionally, too much weight on your natural hair may prevent healthy naturalregrowth.
Can I style my Tape-In extensions as usual?
Mostly, yes! Foxy Locks Remy tape in extensions can be treatedthe same as your natural hair when it comes to washing and styling. This meansusing a good quality shampooand conditioner to nourish and hydrate, and a heat protectant product tomaintain the condition of your locks. Take a gentle approach to washing, avoidingscrubbing the scalp too vigorously. Avoid applying heat and oil products at theroot, as this could interfere with the adhesive. Always brush your hair andextensions carefully, detangling from the ends and working your way up.
