Classic Tape-In
Even load on your natural hair, fast installation, and the option of self-correction.
Tape-In Hair Extensions, also known simply as tape extensions, are a popular extension technique widely used in the US and Europe.
Their main advantage is an even load on your own hair. With bonded extensions, the extra weight is carried by individual small strands; with tape-ins, the hair is attached with a wide tape. The load is spread more evenly, which is gentler on your own hair and makes the extensions comfortable to wear.
Classic tape: versatile and suited to complex haircuts
Classic tapes are individual tape attachments about 4 cm wide and about 1 cm high; tapes of any size can be made on request. They are applied like a sandwich: your own hair sits between two adhesive sides.
This construction lets the stylist place the attachments flexibly, taking into account the shape of the haircut, the thickness of the hair and the result you want.
Who classic tapes suit
- women with medium to thick hair;
- anyone with a bob or another dense haircut;
- anyone who needs to blend a blunt cut and create even thickness along the length;
- anyone who wants more freedom in choosing the layout.
The main advantage: freedom of placement
Classic tapes can be placed in different areas of the head, adapting the layout to the shape of your hairstyle.
This matters most with a bob: the stylist can place the tapes so your own short hair blends with the added length and the transition looks as natural as possible.
With the right layout, classic tapes also allow high ponytails, updos and a wide range of styles. Whether the attachment areas can be fully exposed depends on where they are placed and on your hairstyle.
If your hair is fine and soft, also have a look at bio-tapes, where you'll find a comparison of the two techniques. And if you want the edge of the attachment to stay hidden even in the wind, see Root Imitation 1.0 and 2.0.
