Tape in hair extensions are great for long term use, they are light, easy and flexible. They are natural-looking and you can care for them just as you would your hair. In as much as they are a great choice of permanent hair extension option, they are liable to cause damages to your hair and here is how.

Tape in hair extensions are a type of extension that makes use of medical adhesive tape in order for them to stick to your hair. While this makes them easy in terms of application, it also makes them quite harmful to the hair. This is because, the adhesive tapes used on these hair extensions are strong and as a result, can cause damage to the hair in 2 ways. If not applied properly and if not removed properly.

When it comes to the application of the tape in hair extensions, they are meant to be placed at the root of the hair and not at the scalp, placing them on the scalp can cause irritation to the scalp, damages to the hair follicles and even injury to the scalp.

When removing the tape in adhesive, the duration in which the tape in stays in the hair is also responsible for the level of damage that is caused on the hair. Tape in hair extensions are designed for long term use and because of this, the adhesive tapes used are quite strong. This means that the earlier you remove the tape in extension, the higher the level of damage it is likely to cause to the hair. Also, in the course of removing the hair extensions, the chemicals used to weaken and melt the adhesive bond can cause irritation to the scalp and damages to the hair such as dehydration which would lead to breakage.

Frequent and prolonged used of the tape in hair extension has also been known to cause stress on the hair follicles due to their extra weight. This stress can lead to a hair loss condition and eventually even bald patches in areas where the extensions are most frequently taped in.

In order to avoid sever levels of damage or ruin to your hair, professionals advise that you get your tape-in application and removal done by a professional to ensure that it is done properly. They also advise that you wait until the tape in grows out which usually takes about 6 – 8 weeks before taking it off; at this time, the adhesive would have weakened enough to greatly reduce the level of damage that it would cause on the hair. Also, it is advised to pay attention to your hair after removal of the tape in extension to ensure it stays hydrated and moisturized as this would help to combat the effects of the chemicals applied to weaken the bond.

To ensure that minimal damage is done to your hair, be sure to seek the services of professionals like Luxe Aura hair.
