2. NOT DAMAGING

3. REUSABLE

You’d be glad to know that tape-in hair extensions are completely reusable. And as long as you take good care of them, you can reuse them over and over again, saving money for the long term.

4. SEAMLESS LOOK

Where you put your hair extensions is critical, especially if you have short hair. That’s because the difference is easier to point out if you put it in the wrong place. With tape-in extensions though, you can maximize their placement for a more seamless blending to achieve a cleaner and more natural look.

Also, because only the adhesive is found at the base, the top part of the tape-ins is as flat as tapes are expected to be. This means that the extensions lie flat against your head, helping them look more seamless.

TIPS FOR STYLING TAPE-IN EXTENSIONS FOR SHORT HAIR

First of all, you have to make sure that the volume, length, cut, and style of your extensions blend well with your hair. Hair extensions are easier to hide if they’re only a few inches longer than your own hair, but if not, you have to employ some tricks to help hide them.

One way to blend your tape-ins is to layer them on. The bottom-most extensions should be placed an inch above the most bottom hair on your nape. It will also be best if you braid your hair above your hair into cornrows and lie them flat there.

You should also place a piece of extension each on either side of your hair partition, an inch from the top of your head. This will provide the look that your hair is voluminous from the top. The layering will also give your hair a texture that will make it look more natural.

Lastly, make sure to leave enough of your own hair on the top and the sides of your head so that the tape-ins can remain hidden.
