Tape/Invisible Tape Hair Extensions – Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sydney & Melbourne

At EH Hair & Extensions, we use double drawn Remy hair from Jadore Hair Supplies for all of our application methods, including tapes. Remy extensions are made of 100% human hair that has been cut from a ponytail with all of the strands aligned. This process aims to keep the cuticles intact to provide a more natural look. Extensions made from Remy hair should remain silky, soft, and tangle-free throughout its entire lifetime. This differs from human hair that isn’t Remy, which is usually stripped of its natural oils and has a tangled, straw-like texture.

To provide the most beautiful results, we only use 100% human Remy hair extensions. However, we understand that you may be wondering whether human hair extensions are worth the investment, considering that synthetic hair is much more affordable.

Of course, there are numerous reasons why human extensions are far superior. For one, human hair extensions last much longer than synthetic hair. Our Remy extensions can last for up to a year with proper care, while you’ll be lucky to get three months out of your synthetic extensions. Additionally, human hair extensions can be treated the same as your natural hair, meaning that you are free to style, wash, and colour them to your heart’s content. Unfortunately, you cannot use heat on or apply colour to synthetic extensions. Finally, hair extensions look and feel much more natural than synthetic extensions, which don’t always blend seamlessly with your own hair.

The great thing about tape hair extensions is that you won’t have to spend your whole afternoon sitting in the salon. While it will depend on whether you are getting a full head of hair extensions or not, it usually takes 30 to 60 minutes to fit tape hair extensions. This is a lot quicker than other methods, which means that they appeal to women that live busy lives.

Tape hair extensions require less maintenance than other methods, and you can expect not to be back in the salon until around four to six weeks after they are attached. Of course, this will depend on how fast your hair grows, and the last thing you want is for the tape to become visible. So, everyone will be different.

Everyone wants their tape hair extensions to look natural, and this is precisely what you get when you choose Remy over synthetic hair. 100% Human Russian Remy hair like we offer at EH Hair and Extensions is chosen for its quality, and the hair is soft, shiny, and simply gorgeous. Plus, since it is natural hair, you can colour and style it like natural hair. This means you can enjoy having straight and wavy hair throughout the year without damaging it.

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:

• Use the salon-quality hair care products provided during your appointment
• Concentrate shampoo on your natural hair, avoiding your extensions as much as possible
• Avoid any hair care products containing protein, keratin, or sulphates
• Apply a deep treatment mask to the hair once a week
• Wear your hair in a plait when sleeping
• Brush the hair regularly to avoid knots and tangles
• Return to the salon for maintenance every four to six weeks to avoid damaging your natural hair

We encourage you to try out new styles with your tape hair extensions. Since they are made from 100% Human Russian Remy hair, you can use a straightener and a curling wand on them without damaging them. Just be sure to use a heat protection spray on the extensions first to protect them from the hot temperatures, just like you would for your natural hair. In addition, you can wear your hair up in a variety of styles, and you won’t have to worry about the tape showing. Whether you are wearing a ponytail or a chignon, your hair will look gorgeous!

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.

Your natural hair tends to be naturally wavy or curly, while your hair extensions can be smooth as they dry. While the difference is not noticeable, you can blow-dry both your real hair and hair extensions to achieve a soft, silky appearance.
