Tape Hair Extensions FAQ
How long do tape hair extensions last?
With proper care, tape-in hair extensions can last for two to three months and can be reapplied several times. Your stylist will typically move them up as your hair grows.
Can I wash, straighten, and curl tape extensions?
Yes — tape hair extensions can be styled like your natural hair. Use heat protection and avoid applying oils directly near the tape tabs.
Will tape-in hair extensions damage my hair?
When applied and removed correctly, tape hair extensions are a gentle hair extensions method. Professional installation by someone who is experienced with tape extensions and correct aftercare are key.
What products should I avoid with tape extensions?
Avoid heavy oils, sulfate, alcohol, and silicone-heavy products near the root area where the tapes sit, as they can affect adhesion.
How do I choose the right colour?
If you’re unsure, use our complimentary colour match so we can recommend the closest shade for a seamless blend.
How often do tape extensions need to be moved up?
Most clients book a move-up every 6–8 weeks. Timing depends on your natural hair growth and how you like your extensions to sit for the most seamless finish.
Can I swim or exercise with tape hair extensions?
Absolutely. For best longevity, rinse after swimming, braid your hair for training, and ensure the tape area is fully dry after washing to maintain a secure bond.
How do I wash tape-in hair extensions properly?
Wash gently with a lightweight, extension-safe shampoo, focusing on the scalp and allowing the lather to run through the lengths. Condition from mid-lengths to ends, keeping heavier products away from the tape tabs.
Should I use oil or serum with tape extensions?
You can use a small amount through the mid-lengths and ends for shine, but avoid applying oils near the root area. Keeping the tape area clean and product-light helps maintain strong adhesion.
Can I sleep with tape hair extensions?
Yes. We recommend a loose braid or low ponytail before bed and sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase to minimise friction and keep the hair smooth.
Can tape extensions be reused?
Premium Remy tape hair extensions can be reused multiple times when cared for correctly. Your stylist will replace the tape tabs during reapplication to keep the finish neat and secure.
How many tape extensions do I need for a full head?
It depends on your natural density and your desired volume. For a refined, natural result, we reccomend two packets for a full head, while three packets is ideal for a fuller, thicker result. If you’re unsure, we can recommend the best option based on photos.
Will tape extensions show in fine hair?
When placed correctly, tape extensions sit flat and discreetly. A professional application and a shade match that blends seamlessly are the keys to an invisible finish—especially for finer hair types.
