Look Fabulous With Tape In Extensions

By Maria Turner


Styling hair is not always easy, especially if someone is looking to make a dramatic change. However, colors and cuts do not always come out as planned. Sometimes, the look may not be the same as one may have envisioned. What many people are doing is giving hair weaves a try and enjoying the freedom of change with little effort. Of all the methods of application, more people are going with tape in extensions

While there have been many ways to add hair over the past few decades, this method brings together the best of both worlds. The old method consisted of braiding hair to the scalp and sewing before adding the hair. This took a long time, could be painful and was expensive. This new way allows the average wearer to enjoy their new hair in a matter of minutes.

Now the choices available are incredible. While basic hair colors are nice, trendy custom colors allow anyone to make a fabulous entrance anywhere they go. Also known as fantasy hair, wearers can sport a multicolored unicorn theme or make half the strands their favorite pastel color. Anyone who wants curls, regardless of size, can get this without dealing with a chemical process or hot iron.

This method is also easy to remove from the natural mane when it is time for a change. While most applications can last for several weeks, it takes only precision to remove the extension tape carefully. Although a nonprofessional may use any oil based remover, this is best done by an expert. They can take time to examine the strands to ensure there is no damage.

Many people who are in front of the cameras like this method because of the maintenance and natural flow of the hair. These styles also protect their natural strands from extreme conditions that come with traveling or being on a stage. For those who have active lives, this is a better choice than a wig, which can get hot and sometimes does not look natural.

It is common for the wearer to get caught up in the mystique of a hair weave, especially when it is first applied. Long term wearers need to realize that both the weaved hair and natural strands attached need care. For those with dry hair, this can be tricky since excess oil causes the tape to separate. Those with naturally oily hair should ask their beauty operator for the best cleaning methods that will keep their styles intact.

Weaves also allow the wearer to grow their hair without worry about styling. Sometimes it can be hard to find a lot of styling options for extremely short hair that wants to transform in length. The best protocol is to use a deep conditioner between applications and trim away strands that are dry or brittle.

More people are jumping on this new method for many reasons. Unlike the old technique, the added hair lays flat and is hard to detect. Beside that lack of discomfort, these tend to cost less than the other labor intensive method. This is better than using bonding glue alone because the look can retain its style for many weeks before another application is needed.
