Questions About Tape In Hair extensions

Questions :  I want to try Tape Ins Extensions,Can i apply tape in hair at home by myself ?

Answer : Yes, you can apply tape-in hair extensions at home by yourself, but it can be a bit challenging, especially if you’re new to it. Here are some tips to make the process easier:

1. Preparation: Start with clean, dry hair. Wash and thoroughly dry your hair before applying the tape-ins, as any oils or residue can affect how well the tape sticks.

2. Sectioning: Use a tail comb to create clean, horizontal sections in your hair. It's usually best to start at the nape of your neck and work your way up. Clip away the top sections of hair to keep them out of the way.

3. Applying the Extensions: Take a thin section of your own hair, place one tape extension underneath it, and then press another tape extension on top, sandwiching your hair in between. Make sure to press firmly to ensure the tape sticks well.

4. Avoiding the Roots: Place the extensions about 1/4 inch away from the roots. This gives a natural look and keeps the extensions from pulling on your scalp.

5. Blending: Once you've applied all your extensions, gently brush through your hair to ensure they blend well. You can trim or layer the extensions if needed to match your natural style.

While it is possible to do this on your own, using a mirror (or two) can help with visibility, especially at the back of your head. It may take a bit of practice to get the placement right, but with patience, it’s doable!

Questions :  If this is my first time to try Tape-Ins,  would you recommend I wear it myself at home?

Answer: I’d generally recommend having them applied by a professional.

Here’s why: 

1. Proper Placement: A professional can ensure the extensions are placed evenly and in the right areas, avoiding mistakes that could make the extensions look unnatural or feel uncomfortable.
2. Bonding Security: Professionals have experience making sure the tape bonds securely, so you’re less likely to experience slippage or shedding.
3. Blending: They can also blend and trim the extensions to match your natural hair seamlessly. This helps create a natural look and prevents the extensions from being too obvious.

Learning Experience: Watching how a professional applies the extensions will give you tips and tricks you can use if you decide to try applying them yourself next time.

Questions : How many packs Tape Ins should I buy ? 

Answer: 

The number of packs of tape-in hair extensions you’ll need depends on the look you’re going for, as well as your natural hair thickness and length. Here’s a general guide:

1. For Volume Only (adding thickness to your natural hair):

   • 1-2 packs (20-40 pieces) should be enough. This is ideal if you just want to boost the volume of your hair without adding much length.

2. For Medium Thickness and Length (full head of hair):

   • 3-4 packs (60-80 pieces) are recommended. This is usually suitable for fine to medium hair types to achieve a natural-looking full head with added length.

3. For Thick Hair or Maximum Volume and Length:

   • 4-6 packs (80-120 pieces) may be needed. If you have very thick hair or you’re looking for a dramatic transformation, this will provide more volume and coverage.

When in doubt, it’s better to have a little extra so that you can achieve a balanced look. Plus, if you have leftover extensions, they can be useful for touch-ups later on!
