Let's face it with any hairstyle we choose; we want it to have low upkeep.

Tape in extensions is the easiest to maintain for many reasons.

This option is not like clip-ins hair extensions which have thick wefts or tracks you would typically see in a bundle you purchase.

We should first start off by answering the most common question, and that is, are tape-in extensions tape?

Well, the construction of this product is three simple things which are medical grade adhesive, human hair, and polyurethane panels or transparent plastic.

The weave is attached to strips which have specific thermal structures in them. No matter how much you blow dry, flat iron, or hot curl, the tape will not melt.

The polyurethane panels are a combination of rubber and plastic which make the extensions safe to apply and flexible, meaning it will be able to conform to the shape of your head.

The construction of these tapings is thin and are about 1 to 2 inches in width. Most women will forget they are wearing extensions due to how lightweight they are on your head.

We offer high-quality tape-in extensions that come in different shades, and that you can dye to match your exact hair color.

These are guaranteed to last you for months and have minimal to no shedding when you take care of them correctly.

If you are into a hassle-free hairstyle like we know you are then, you should invest in these extensions.

Tape in extensions is least damaging out of all your other options. Since they are very lightweight, they won't pull on your natural hair as many other extensions will. Surprisingly they grow out as your hair does so there's no extra tugging or pulling on your scalp.

When you get a sew-in the tracks are put in by using a threading needle which can be very damaging to your tresses.

Clip in extensions is dense and heavy which can cause receding hairline and bald spots if you wear them frequently.

If you use fusion, microbead, or I tip methods, you will notice that they tend to tangle more easily causing you to lose hair in the bundle and on your head.

You can remove the tape in hair extensions within seconds with Alcohol Extract Safe Remover and install them in about the same time.

When it comes down to our lovely curls, we don't want to damage them from wearing a short hairstyle.

Which means if you do go to a professional for application the cost will be a lot lower than getting a sew-in.

The construction of these extensions are so thin and small they are easy to make which is cheaper to produce. With sew-ins you must spend more money for a fuller looking hairstyle.

With tape-ins you won't need three bundles since you are placing them sporadically throughout your curls.

The price for the hair on tape in extensions are about the same as clip-ins, but they are much cheaper than the cost of fusion, I tip, and microbead hair extensions.

And you can buy a finished style like the Afro Kinky Coily Tape-In to save more trouble.

Overall the application and cost end up a lot lower than all the other extension methods. So, I would invest in tape-in weave today.

Being able to reuse your hair extension is a great bonus especially when it comes down to saving money in your pocket.

Clip in extensions tend to wear out within 6 to 8 months, and individual extensions are not reusable.

The time and effort you put into coloring and cutting the hair are worth it once you see how long this style can last you.

The tape is good for about 3 to 4 uses until it's time to switch them out. Luckily the removal of tape in extensions take about 15 minutes.

But taking out sew-ins can be a matter of hours and in the process can be painful, and you can lose a lot of hair.

On top of that, you will have to go to a professional to take out, microbead, fusion, or I-tip extensions.

It's a simple equation really, great quality tape-ins plus reusable style equals more money in your wallet and a happier you!

Tape in extensions will look like the natural hair coming from your head. I would not believe all my friends who would tell me they are wearing these extensions due to how natural they look.

The bonds of the tape lie flat on top of your head making them comfortable and unnoticeable.

If you can match the hair density, texture, and color with your curls, then you can pull off a fantastic hairstyle.

Usually, hair extensions can go up to three shades darker or lighter from your natural curl color.

But if you have a unique shade like turquoise or fiery red, you will need to do a color match at a salon.

Remember that you are not matching the color to the root of your hair but the ends.

Also, for a more natural look purchase or use several different extension lengths.

Tape-ins like the Kinky Curly Tape-In can be available in 16'', 18'' and 20'' lengths.

You want to create layers, longer weave for style, and shorter to blend with your hair.

Using two different sizes is a bomb way to make your tape-ins look more real than before.

Realistically it may take some time to get your tape-ins to match perfectly with your head of hair.

But once you get the hang of this style, you will not want to let them go. You can say goodbye to getting touchups or those pesky tracks coming loose for the whole world to see.

With tape-in extensions, the only thing you'll have to worry about is what outfit you're going to wear to compliment this beautiful style.

Most people assume that since its a tape bond that it can quickly fall out of your mane.

But I'm the contrary they are quite flexible and can handle whatever style you bring to them.

Tape-ins are more accessible to dry and take care of which is another reason why women are in love with them. Let's not forget how versatile this method can be.

Clip-ins are great, but it's pretty hard to achieve braids or high ponytails with them in your hair.

Tape-ins, on the other hand, can make almost any hairstyle from topknot buns to goddess braids.

If you purchase individual extensions, you will notice that they tend to tangle and become very stringy and flat over time.

Nothing compares to the flexibility and softness of the bonds on tape extensions especially when it comes to washing and blow drying them.

If you are looking for a style that is invisible, flexible, and versatile tape-in hair extensions will always take first place.

You can wash, blow dry, flat iron, or curl your tape in extensions with ease. You can treat them as you would your natural hair.

Take the time to comb out any knots or tangles; this helps prevent any future damage to the weave.

Make sure to place your hair in a loose braid at night, and tie down your curls with a head wrap or silk bonnet.

Securing the style will ensure longevity. What I love most about the tape in extensions is that they give you the option to treat and care for your natural curls.

When you get a sew-in, it's hard to take care of your natural locks because they are hidden under tracks and are in braids.

With tape-ins you can continue with your regular wash day routine and allow your hair to grow while it's in a beautiful protective style.
