Tape hair extensions are one of the most popular choices of hair extensions for many EH Hair clients. It is a way to enjoy luscious and long locks throughout the year, with minimal maintenance or time spent in the salon. Plus, with proper home care and proper application, you can even reuse them for six to 12 months. Clients report that they are comfortable to wear and give them a boost of confidence.
Tape hair extensions are particularly suited to people with fine hair, as the tape lies flat to the scalp, giving you a virtually undetectable application. All you have to do is choose the colour that matches your natural hair shade, and you are ready to enjoy increased volume and length!
Having a complete range of tape hair extensions in stock and on hand has set us apart from our competitors and has allowed us to give you, the client, exactly what you want immediately when coming through our doors.
We offer two different types of tape extensions. Both are applied in the same way where four centimetre wide sections are applied in a ‘sandwich style’, but the two options vary slightly in appearance.
Tape in hair extensions have been extremely popular for some time now due to their incredible look and feel. They are one of the most comfortable and low maintenance extension methods around and have the added bonus of a one-hour application time, so you are not spending hours waiting in the salon for your new look.
These extensions are applied to clean, dry hair by sandwiching the natural hair between two pieces of the tape extensions. With skilful placement by one of our extension specialists, an extremely natural result can be achieved.
The bond of the skin weft extensions is what sets them apart from standard tape extensions.
Skin wefts are hand-tied to create the appearance of hair growing directly from a scalp, therefore concealing the tape connection across the top, as you may see in traditional tape extensions. This gives you an extremely natural and discreet result.
Tape in hair extensions are a fantastic method for fine, medium, or thick hair of all lengths. Using a hypoallergenic, specially designed bond, skin weft extensions can be removed simply by spraying with a little of our gentle removal spray. After making their debut in our Gold Coast-based salon and seeing such an incredible response from our new and returning clients, we have also moved the range to our Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney salons.
At EH Hair & Extensions, we know that when you look good, you feel good too. Hair extensions can transform your entire look and boost your confidence. If you are interested in changing up your hair, hair extensions can:
Are you struggling to grow out your hair after a regretful chop? Whether you are experiencing hair loss, or your hair just grows super slow, hair extensions can add instant length to your locks, so you don’t have to impatiently wait for your hair to grow back out.
With extensions, you can add colour and dimension to your hair without worrying about the dangers of bleach. Adding hair extensions in different shades is an alternative way to add highlights and lowlights to your hair if you don’t want to touch or damage your natural locks.
Thin hair can be tricky to manage, as it often looks limp and lifeless, no matter how you style it. Even if you’re happy with the current length of your hair, adding extensions can add luscious thickness to your hair.
If you have short or fine hair, you may feel limited in the styles you can pull off. With hair extensions, you will be able to pull off any style, from sleek ponytails to mermaid waves.
Keep in mind that your tape will require a bit of care, as extensions need more attention than our natural hair. This is because extensions do not receive any natural oils from the scalp as our natural hair does, so they can dry out very quickly if not looked after correctly. To protect your tape in extensions, we recommend following the below care instructions:
It is always best to use specialised products that are meant for hair extensions. This will make sure they get the nutrients they need to say healthy and look beautiful all year round. In particular, any oil-based products should be avoided, as this can make it slippery for tape hair extensions, and they may not stay on as securely as they should. No products with sulphates, proteins, or keratin should be used on hair extensions as these causes irreversible damage. Alcohol products should also be avoided, as this can damage Remy hair.
For tape in hair extensions, you can safely sleep with your extensions. However, if you are using other methods like clips or halos, we recommend removing them before sleeping as this can damage your own hair and your hair extensions.
Our hair extensions are made from 100% Human Russian Remy hair and, when applied by one of our extension specialists, will not cause any damage to your hair.
It’s safe to wash your tape in hair extensions daily without damaging them. Our product is extremely durable and can withstand the effects of water. However, it is recommended to keep your scalp from getting excessively oily to maintain the bonds.
Yes, you can go swimming without having to worry that your hair extensions will be accidentally removed. However, you should keep in mind that frequent swimming can shorten the lifespan of your extensions. To protect your tape hair extensions whilst swimming, be sure to leave your hair out or wear it in a loose plait, rinse your extensions with cold water afterwards and wash your hair that same night.
If your tape extensions are too light for your natural hair, or you wish to go darker, our stylists can use a semi or demi-permanent hair colour to achieve your desired look. Keep in mind that hair extensions cannot be bleached, so you may need to purchase new extensions if you wish to lighten your hair.
If properly cared for, your tape in hair extensions can be reused for six to 12 months. This means you can save more money than you would with fusion style extensions.
To maintain the integrity of your hair extensions, it is recommended to prevent pulling your hair aggressively or wearing styles that are too tight. These actions can damage your hair extensions by pulling on the underside of the connection.
To ensure that your hair extensions remain silky soft, we recommend regular blow-drying as part of your regular hair routine.
No, skin wefts are less likely to shed because they are hand-tied. However, it is important to keep in mind that several factors, such as how your hair extensions are applied and cared for, will greatly affect their lifespan.
If you have tape in hair extensions, you can barely feel that you’re wearing them. This is because they are incredibly lightweight, the application is pain-free, and they adhere to your natural hair. Most importantly, braiding is not required, which can increase the risk of hair loss and scalp discomforts.
