You may add Lengthen and volumize your hair without damaging it.

Hair extensions have gotten a reputation for being high-maintenance, damaging, and an extravagance best left to people who frequent the red carpet. But that’s not actually the case, especially when we’re talking about tape-in hair extensions. When it comes to getting great length, volume, and keeping your real hair healthy, they’re the best!

Tape-In Hair Extensions Don’t Look Fake
Tape-in extensions really do look like your natural head of hair. The bonds lie completely flat against the head and are so comfortable, you forget about them completely — that is, until you catch a glimpse of your long, thick ponytail in the mirror (yup, you can even wear a ponytail). But keep in mind that not all hair is created equal. Matching hair density, texture, thickness, and the color is critical to pulling off a seamless look. When shopping for a new head of hair, look for 100 percent human hair, either European virgin or Remy strands. In technical terms, this means that the hair cuticle is intact and facing in the same direction. What that means to you is that you can style, dry, and iron the extensions just as you would your natural hair without fear of excessive tangles and matting. My ultimate favorite is HaloCouture, I love the way the hair stays soft and natural after years of shampooing.

Putting Them in and Taking Them Out Isn’t Too Time-Consuming
Seriously. It takes an hour and a half tops, no longer than a head of highlights. And that’s for a whole head. The extension hair is bonded to inch-long super sticky strips. The stylist peels off the cover (just like a sticker), revealing the adhesive, and sandwiches small sections of natural hair between two of these strips. It sounds easy enough for DIY, but the placement is critical to the overall look, so leave it to a trained stylist.

As for the removal, that’s even faster. The stylist drenches the tape bonds in a solute that loosens the adhesive, then gently wiggles the extensions off. Then, all you need is a couple of shampoos to remove all of the solution. Beware of extensions that require a remover containing acetone or alcohol, which can be harsh and drying if left on the hair for too long. (Again, our favorite, HaloCouture, has its own organic remover formulated with citrus oil, a much gentler option for hair and skin.) You should stick to a schedule of removal and/or reapplication every eight to ten weeks. As your hair grows out, the bond inches farther away from the root, and the further the bond is from the root, the more likely it is to twist and tangle — and possibly reveal your well-kept secret.

They’re Easy to Care For
You may shampoo, blow-dry, flatiron, curl, scrunch, and braid extensions. Basically, you treat them just as you would your own natural hair. Which is to say, as gently as possible. Like natural hair, extensions (specifically the adhesive bonds) are most fragile when wet. Blast YOUR roots and bonds with a blow-dryer before gently combing through to detangle. This helps prevent any tugging on the wet bonds. You also always sleep with your hair in a loose braid. It not only helps prevent any tangling during the night but also results in the world’s easiest waves. My extension hair actually holds hairstyles better than my natural hair.
Our Salon’s MorroccanOil line is all you need to keep them shiny, soft, tangle-free for years to come!

They Don’t Cause Damage
Are tape-in hair extensions safe?YES.
Do tape-in hair extensions damage hair? NO.
Really — it’s true! We’ve all heard the traumatic stories of celebrities who ended up with giant bald patches or tons of breakage because of extensions. If tape-in extensions are applied correctly and treated with care, cleansed, and styled with the MoroccanOil Professional Haircare Line, Tape-in Extensions pose no threat to the overall health of your natural hair.

You can add extensions to hair to add highlights, lowlights, bayalage, ombre effects, and more, preventing damage to natural hair, especially if your going from very dark to extremely light hair color styles, or have previously used the dreaded “Box Color, or Kitchen Beautician Brands” that does not leave the hair chemically without damage.
