Tape In Hair Extensions Give Volume

By Christine White


Wigs or temporary hairpieces are not the only way to get a new hairstyle the fast and painless way. New ways of applying tresses that look more natural and less stiff than before allow for many different styles. The popularity of tape in hair extensions comes from an easy application and none of the bulkiness that came with previous methods, which also meant sitting in a salon chair for a while.

This hybrid method has the easiness of bonding but moves like an expensive lacefront wig. The tape is thin and cannot be seen by the human eye once applied. The good news is that once the weft is applied and secured, the hair stays in place for 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.

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.

Dry shampoo may work for the extensions but eventually, the tresses underneath will need a vigorous massage and cleaning. Also, the drying time of this type of extension can be longer for those who usually air dry. One solution would be to wrap all hair in a turban designed for fast drying, followed by using a blow dryer with low heat.

People with a dry mane should be extra cautious because heavy oils may cause the extensions to separate. To retain moisture, using a lightweight moisturizer after drying will help prevent breakage. Pure coconut or jojoba oils are good for keeping strands healthy without being heavy. Hair that is dry should also take a week or two from weaves so the tresses can return to normal.

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.
