The tapes sit flat against the hair and are placed for comfort, movement and a seamless finish. ## What’s included in a Tape Application appointment This service focuses on correctly placing and securing tape-in extensions so they sit flat and blend well. - Quick check of your hair and the extension pieces being applied - Sectioning and placement planning to keep tapes discreet and comfortable - Tape-in fitting using the sandwich method, aligned close to the root without pulling - Bond check to make sure each tape is sealed and sits flat - Blend and balance check so the added hair falls naturally - Simple finish and practical aftercare guidance for washing, brushing and styling ### Tape Application is a good fit if you want discreet length and fullness Tape-in extensions suit clients who want noticeable change with minimal bulk at the root. - You want added length or thickness that still moves like natural hair - You prefer flat bonds that are easier to hide in ponytails and partings - You want extensions that can be maintained and repositioned rather than replaced every time ### How Tape Application is carried out The hair is sectioned, then each extension piece is positioned and sealed so it sits flush to the head. A comfort check is done as the tapes go in, followed by a final blend check to make sure the finish looks even through the mid-lengths and ends. For best hold, arrive with clean, fully dry hair and avoid oils or heavy conditioners near the roots. ### Aftercare that helps tape bonds stay secure Small habits make a big difference to how well tape bonds wear between maintenance appointments. - Keep oils, serums and rich conditioners away from the tape area - Brush gently at the roots and support the hair with your hand when detangling - Dry the roots properly after washing so moisture does not sit around the tapes - Avoid placing straighteners directly on the tape tabs ### Keeping tape-in extensions looking fresh between appointments Tape extensions usually need repositioning as your hair grows. If you feel slipping, tangling at the root, or visible tabs, it often means it’s time to move them up rather than trying to press them back down at home.

It depends on how many pieces you are fitting and how much hair you already have in. A 30-minute appointment is usually best for a small or partial application, or adding a few tapes for extra density. If you need a full head, you may need a longer booking. Should my hair be washed before Tape Application? Yes, clean and completely dry hair helps the adhesive grip properly. Avoid conditioner, oils, dry shampoo or scalp serums near the roots on the day, as they can cause slipping. Will tape-in extensions feel obvious or heavy? Tape bonds are designed to sit flat, so they should feel lightweight when placed correctly. You may notice them for the first day or two, but they should not pull or cause soreness. How long do tape-in bonds last before they need moving up? Most people need tapes moved up every 6 to 8 weeks, depending on hair growth and aftercare. Waiting too long can lead to tangling at the root and more visible tabs. Can I heat-style or colour my hair after Tape Application? You can heat-style the lengths, but avoid applying direct heat onto the tape tabs. For colouring, it’s usually easiest to colour your natural hair before fitting, and keep bleach away from the adhesive area to protect the bond.
