Tape-in human hair extensions are a popular choice for adding length, volume, and versatility to your hair. They are lightweight, easy to apply, and look incredibly natural when installed correctly. Here’s a detailed guide to help you apply tape-in extensions like a pro!
What You‘ll Need
Before you begin, gather the following tools:
- Tape in human hair extensions
- Tail comb or fine-tooth comb
- Clips or hair ties to section your hair
- Scissors (for trimming, if needed)
- Hair extensions clamp(optional)
Step 1: Prepare Your Hair
- Wash and dry your hair: Start with clean, dry hair. Avoid using heavy conditioners or oils, as they can interfere with the adhesive.
- Brush your hair: Remove any tangles to ensure a smooth application process.
- Section your hair: Use a tail comb to create a horizontal parting at the nape of your neck. Clip the rest of your hair out of the way.
Step 2: Prepare the Extensions
- Remove the backing: Peel off the protective backing from the tape tabs on the extensions. Be careful not to touch the adhesive with your fingers, as oils can reduce its stickiness.
- Align the extensions: Hold the weft up to your hair to ensure it’s the right size for the section. Trim the weft if necessary.
Step 3: Apply the Extensions
- Sandwich your natural hair: Take a thin section of your natural hair, make sure the hair is Thin enough your fingers can feel one another through the hair (about the same width as the extension) and place the extension underneath it. Press the adhesive side of the extension firmly against your natural hair.
- Secure the top weft: Take another extension and place it on top of your natural hair, sandwiching it between the two wefts. Press firmly to ensure a strong bond.
- Repeat the process: Move upward, creating horizontal partings and applying extensions until you achieve your desired volume and length.
Step 4: Blend and Style
- Blend the extensions: Use a brush or comb to blend your natural hair with the extensions seamlessly.
- Style as desired: Curl, straighten, or style your hair as usual. Tape-in extensions are heat-friendly, so you can use styling tools without worry.
Tips for a Flawless Application
- Use thin sections: Thinner sections of natural hair will make the extensions lay flatter and look more natural.
- Avoid placing extensions too close to the scalp: Leave a small gap (about ¼ inch) to prevent discomfort and ensure a natural look.
