FAQs

How long do glam seamless tape in extensions last? ›

With proper care, hair extensions can last 9-12 months, or more, depending on the amount of wear. Keep in mind, the more you wash and style your extensions, the shorter their lifespan will be.

Seamless hair extensions are designed to look thick and undetectable. Similar to Tape In Extensions, there are no rows of wefts sewn to a piece of lace like conventional Wefted Clip In Hair Extensions. Due to the nature of the silicone backing, you may require more pieces to achieve your desired thickness and length.

Hand-tied wefts are 100% human hair that's hand-tied to your natural hair with beads. Tape hair extensions are pre-taped wefts of 100% human hair. They are taped in between layers of your own hair.

Cons of tape hair extensions

The adhesive tapes may slip if there is oil or silicone-based hair product applied; For those who love ponytails or high buns, tape hair extensions may not be a perfect solution.

Clip in hair extensions are temporary and can be easily removed and reapplied, while tape in extensions are semi-permanent and last longer. Clip ins are versatile for different hairstyles, whereas tape ins offer a more seamless blend.

Avoid applying protein treatments or heavy conditioners to your extensions, as this is not necessary and can make the wefts crispy. Blow Drying: Before blow drying your extensions, separate the rows and dry each row individually.

Tape in extensions are quick and inexpensive to install, but they only last 4-8 weeks and can damage the natural hair. Tape in extensions are usually very secure, as the adhesive bonds the extension hair and natural hair together. They lay flat against the head and blend in with the natural hair.

Why are hand tied extensions so expensive? ›

The cost of hand tied extensions can range in expense, but you will find that most will be higher than other types of hair extensions because they are more labor-intensive to manufacture and usually higher in quality.

One of the best parts of having tape hair extensions is the fact that if they are cared for correctly, they can last between 6-8 weeks. That's 2 months of fabulous, long, and thick locks. After that time, you can come into the salon for your refit which is charged at a discounted cost.

Tape in extensions are actually one of the safest types of extensions you can have. Tape in hair extensions damage your hair the least out of the other options. As long as you apply and remove extensions correctly, you should have little to no hair loss or damage.

Like it or not, washing your hair every day is a big no when you're wearing tape hair – you shouldn't wash your tape ins any more than three times a week. Twice a week is even better. That's because wetting your extensions on a daily basis will soften the bonds and may cause them to slip.

You can reuse your old tape-in extension and save some money. If you take good care of your natural hair and the tape-in extension, you have good chances of reusing your extensions for up to 3 times.
