💁‍♀️If you’re looking for seamless, natural-looking volume and length, tape in hair extensions are a great choice. But not all tape-ins are created equal. All three types of extensions popular options – Remy Tape Ins, Remy Injection Tape Ins and Virgin Injection Tape Ins – offer different benefits depending on your hair type, budget, and styling needs.✨

🔍 Key Takeaways:

✅ All three types of extensions have similar sizing and installation requirements.
✅ Virgin hair is slightly heavier per weft due to its untouched cuticles.
