What is a Tape-in Hair Extensions?
Article written by Christopher Box
Posted on June 14, 2011
A tape in hair extension consists of a base that has some sort of medical grade adhesive tape used to attach the extensions to the hair. The base can vary in size, shape, and of course the materials used to make it. Another term used to describe tape in hair extensions is seamless hair extensions.
There is much debate as to the history of tape in hair extensions. One of the original versions of tape in hair extensions to reach the main stream market was Diva in a Box Temporary Tape-in Extensions which came out in 2003. The product was launched in Nordsrtoms as a DIY product for the public. It quickly was picked up on the website www.extensions.com.
The original versions of tape in hair extensions were made from a very basic construction. Medical grade adhesive tape was attached to the base of wefted hair. The original application would last about a week.
Advances in tape technology and technique quickly allowed the tape in extension application to 6 weeks or more.
With time, the tape in extension method evolved. The wefted base was replaced by a polyurethane base which allowed the tape in extensions to “sandwich” the clients hair in between two very thin panels.
