Tape-in hair — real hair for sale

Re-taping is recommended every 6–8 weeks, once the tapes have grown out from the roots by about 2–3 cm. The stylist gently removes them with a special solution, cleans off adhesive residue, and re-applies them closer to the roots with new adhesive. The re-taping itself takes approximately 30–45 minutes. This way, you can wear the same hair repeatedly for many months.

Yes, tape-in hair holds firmly even during intense sports, running or cycling. After swimming in a pool with chlorine or in the sea with salt water, thoroughly rinse the hair with clean water and apply conditioner to preserve the quality of the adhesive and hair. We recommend tying hair into a braid after swimming and letting it air dry naturally. The tapes tolerate saunas and steam, but extreme heat can weaken the adhesive.

With professional application and gentle removal, no. We use hypoallergenic medical-grade adhesive that is tested for sensitive skin. During removal, the stylist applies a special solution that dissolves the adhesive, and the tapes are gently removed. Your own hair remains undamaged. Problems can only occur with home removal without the proper products — that is why we always recommend visiting a stylist.

For a natural result, 40–60 tapes (20–30 sandwich pairs) are usually applied. For subtle thickening or lengthening around the face framing area, 20–30 tapes are enough. The exact number depends on your hair density, desired volume and length. During a consultation, we will recommend the optimal number based on your hair and preferences.

Yes, our tape-in hair made from natural hair can be colored, toned and highlighted. It is important not to get color on the adhesive tapes — this could weaken them. Therefore, we recommend having coloring done by an experienced stylist who works with tape-in hair. Ideally, coloring should be done before application or at least 48 hours after.

The signal for re-taping is when the tapes have grown out 2–3 cm from the roots and become visible, or when you feel they are holding less firmly. Another indicator is if the tapes start to curl or lose their shape. We do not recommend waiting too long — grown-out tapes stress your own hair and can cause unnecessary strain. Regular re-taping every 6–8 weeks ensures the best result.

We do not recommend it. A special product is needed for gentle removal that dissolves the adhesive without damaging the hair. Home attempts at pulling off tapes can pull out or damage hair. A stylist removes the tapes in 15–30 minutes with a professional solution — the hair remains undamaged.

Avoid oil-based and silicone products in the tape area — oils and silicones weaken the adhesive and the tapes may come loose prematurely. Apply conditioner and masks from mid-lengths to tips, not near the roots. Sulfate-free shampoo is the ideal choice.

Yes, short stays in the sauna are fine for tape-in tapes. However, extreme and prolonged heat can weaken the adhesive. We recommend wrapping your hair in a towel and letting the hair air dry naturally after the sauna. If you visit the sauna regularly, expect a shorter interval between re-taping.

After tape-in application, we recommend waiting 24–48 hours before washing your hair. The adhesive needs time to fully bond. During this time, also avoid intense sweating and water. After 48 hours, you can wash your hair normally.

Tape-in hair is applied using the tape method and lasts 6–8 weeks. Keratin hair is applied with individual strands using a keratin bond and lasts 3–6 months. Tape-in application is faster (30–60 min vs. 2–3 hours), but requires more frequent re-taping. Keratin is more suitable for long-term wear, tape-in for those who want flexibility.

Tape-in hair can be worn during pregnancy. The hypoallergenic medical-grade adhesive is safe and does not irritate the skin. The hair does not interfere with sleep thanks to its flat profile. If in doubt, consult your doctor.

Quality natural hair from our selection can be re-taped 3–5 times with new adhesive. The total hair lifespan is 12–18 months. At each re-taping, the stylist checks the condition of the hair and recommends whether the tapes can still be used.

The key is the right color selection and number of tapes. We recommend having tape-in hair trimmed by a stylist to match the shape of your hairstyle. The transition between your own and extended hair should be smooth — that is why professional application and proper tape placement are important.

Yes, tape-in hair made from real human hair can be highlighted. It is important that the stylist does not apply color directly on the adhesive tapes. Ideally, highlighting should be done on loose hair before application or with sufficient distance from the tapes. The balayage technique is particularly effective with tape-in hair.
