Use Tape In Hair Extensions To Be Fabulous

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.

There are like a hybrid of the bonding method and lacefront wig. Installation is easy and everything flows like a healthy mane should. However, there is no need to braid the hair underneath and heat is not needed to secure the weft.

Like most weaves there are many different types of hair a person can switch from as often as they like. Once a professional removes the taped weft, the wearer can try a new style if their tresses are in good condition. Anyone who wants color can do this without dealing with mixing of chemicals and the expectations that come with using dyes.

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.

When caring for this type of hairstyle, it is best to consider lifestyle. For instance, if a person is really athletic or works out often, shampooing often is recommended. This reduces the odor and sweat that can build near the scalp.

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.

The most important part of keeping any extensions looking new is preparation before going to sleep. Some wear a few large braids or pigtails before going to bed as a way to prevent matting. Others may go a step further by using satin pillowcases.

Before investing in this service or product, it may be best to speak with someone who is knowledgeable about the process and daily maintenance. A person looking to make their hair look thicker will have different needs than someone who wants for their hair to be longer or straighter. They can also make practical suggestions for which products can be used so that tresses will look salon fresh for weeks.
