Tape In Hair Extensions Give Volume

By Christine White


There are more ways to wear cool styles without a wig or hairpieces that can be taken out easily. Weaves and extensions of today have come a long way and look more realistic than in previous generations. Wearing tape in hair extensions can lets the wearing have almost any style without pain or sitting in a salon for hours.

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.

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.

The tape will also add to drying time so it may help to take one or two extra steps. A drying turban may be worn to reduce excess water after a quick towel dry. If a person has a portable dryer with multiple setting, they can go over the extensions carefully using a low setting. The idea is to not have too much heat near the scalp.

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.

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.

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.
