Tape  Hair Extensions










Tape
Type of Hair used: "wefts",
Tools needed
: wefted hair, tape
Recommendations: It's best to use in conjunction with a lil' liquid adhesive on the ends of the tape for added security.

This method uses wefts (long strips of hair attached to thread) and adheres them with tape. Very quick and easy.


Installation:
Measure your head before cutting (machine) wefts.
Section your hair.
Line some adhesive along edges of the tape. 
Let set for 1 minute.
Start at one end of your head and press to the HAIR (not your scalp) till you reach the other side of your head.
Hold for about 1 minute,
Add some hair to the "top" of the tape to secure.
DONE!


Removal:
If you have Liquid Gold remover I would recommend that, along with  a lil' heat from a blow dryer to the area.
Otherwise baby (mineral) oil has been rumored to work, simply dab onto weft attached, and rub your fingers between wefted hair and natural hair and it should loosen.


PROS:
  • Easiest method, great for DIY'ers!
  • Quickest method.
CONS:
  • Edges of install can peel back, needing to be redone
  • Only lasts about 1 month (when properly installed)  before needing to be redone.
  • Tape can bunch together, also may shine through.
  • Not as natural looking in wind.
  • Limited up dos and hair parting.
  • Can be bulky
