I decided to make this post telling you all details about the damage-free tape extensions that I do. I've been getting more questions recently, so I decided to further educate you on what they exactly are.
Tape extensions are strips of clear adhesive that are taped to thin sections of your hair that are flexible and thin so they look natural and dont cause any bulk in the head (such as clip-ins, braided/sewn extensions) The flexibility of the tape means you can wear your hair down or pull it up in a high pony unlike other extensions. Tape extensions can be used to add length, volume and hilights. This application is damage-free and does not cause breakage or hair loss.
Here is some of the most frequently asked questions I've been getting:
HOW LONG DO EXTENSIONS LAST?8 TO 10 WEEKS VARYING ON THE CLIENT’S HAIR GROWTH. THIS ISRECOMMENDED TO ELIMINATE MATTING, FRIZZING AND TANGLING, ANDENSURE THE EXTENSION IS ALWAYS FRESH AND CLOSE TO THESCALP. THEY CAN BE REAPPLIED UP TO 3 TIMES (UP TP 6 MONTHS), THIS IS RECOMMENDEDSO THAT THE EXTENSION BOND REMAINS SEAMLESS.
CAN YOU COLOR IT?THERE ARE 20 COLORS THAN CAN BE BLENDED TO CREATE UP TO 400DIFFERENT SHADES, IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO BLEND TO CREATE YOURDESIRED SHADE YOU CAN DEPOSIT COLOR. YOU CAN NOT LIGHTEN. INTHE PROCESS OF APPLYING COLOR KEEP ALL COLOR AWAY FROM THEADHESIVE TAB AND WAIT ABOUT 48 HOURS FROM THE TIME YOU APPLYTHEM. DO NOT LIGHTEN THE EXTENSIONS OR HAIRWEAR.DO NOT TRY TO DARKEN THE COLOR MORE THAN 2 OR 3 LEVELS. IT ISRECOMMENDED THAT YOU GET YOUR COLOR DONE AFTER THE EXTENSIONAPPLICATION.
CAN ROOTS BE RETOUCHED WHILE THE EXTENSIONS ARE IN THE HAIR?YES ROOTS CAN BE RETOUCHED AGAIN KEEPING IN MIND TO STAYAWAY FROM THE TAPE TABS AND NOT TO WORK WITH PEROXIDE THAT ISGREATER THAN 40 VOLUME. ROOTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE DONE 24 TO48 HOURS PRIOR TO APPLICATION AND THEN IN BETWEEN EXTENSIONSSERVICE WHEN THERE IS AMPLE GROWTH TO KEEP THE COLOR OFF OFTHE TAB.
CAN I REUSE THEM?YES, THE SUGGESTED RE-USE IS UP TO 3 TIMES (6 MONTHS). AFTER THAT YOU MAYCREATE BULK AT THE ATTACHMENT AREA AND NEW HAIR PURCHASE ISNECESSARY.
HOW MANY PACKS DOES IT TAKE TO DO A FULL HEAD?WE SUGGEST IT WILL TAKE 1 TO 2 PACKS DEPENDING ON YOUREXISTING HAIR DENSITY AND WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TOCREATE. MATCHING THICK, DENSE HAIR WILL TAKE MORE HAIR TOCREATE LENGTH (2 PACKS). CREATING LENGTH TAKES ABOUT 2 PACKSIF YOUR CUSTOMER HAS AVERAGE TO THICK HAIR. FINE HAIR CAN ADDLENGTH WITH ONE PACK. IF YOU ARE CREATING LENGTH IN BLUNTHAIRCUTS TEXTURIZING THE ENDS WILL HELP IN BLENDING THEEXTENSIONS AND EXISTING HAIR. CREATING VOLUME IS DEPENDING ONHOW MUCH THICKNESS YOU ARE TRYING TO ADD HOWEVERTYPICALLY VOLUME IS ACHIEVED IN UNDER A PACK IF YOU ARE NOTCREATING LENGTH. KEEP IN MIND NUMBER OF PACKS MAY ALSO VARYBASED UPON HOW MANY COLORS ARE IN YOUR EXISTING HAIRTHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO MATCH. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ANDESTIMATED FOR THE INITIAL CONSULTATION.
HOW DO I WASH THEM?YOU WILL NEED TO USE A SULFATE-FREE SHAMPOO (I RECCOMEND PUREOLOGY)BRUSH YOUR HAIR FIRST TO REMOVE ALL TANGLES.BE CAREFUL WHEN SHAMPOOING AROUND THE TAPE, YOU DO NOT WANT TO "SCRUB" OR TANGLE THE HAIR AROUND THE ADHESIVE. lIGHTLY TAKE YOUR FINGERS INBETWEEN THE ROWS OF THE EXTENSIONS TO CLEASE YOUR SCALP. DO NOT PUT CONDITIONER DIRECTKY ON SCALP WHERE THE TAPE IS, JUST THROUGH THE ENDS.
******* The BIGGEST question I get asked daily is "How much does this cost?". To answer this question, I cannot quote ANYONE a price until you have set up a consultation appointment with me. Price depends on the color of extenions you want (blondes are more expensive than darker, natural colors), the desired length you want with the length & thickness of your hair now, and how many packs you will need to achieve desired look. I need to be able to phyiscally see your hair before being able to figure out what all you will need. *******
here are some before & after pictures of clients who I have done the tape extensions on:
