What Are Tape In Hair Extensions?

Tape in extensions are a semi-permanent, effortless solution that helps your hair look longer and fuller. They are perfect for those seeking that "I woke up like this" hair. Tape in extensions take about 45 minutes to 1 and a half hours to be installed and can last anywhere from 6 to 9 weeks, though the hair can be reinstalled for up to 1 year with proper care.

Buy Guide for Tape In Hair Extensions

You can select your tape ins from five distinct lengths: 16 inches, 18 inches, 20 inches, 22 inches, and 24 inches. When purchasing, the number of packs you need will depend on your head shape and natural hair’s thickness. Extensions are designed to be lightweight and comfortable as you wear them. We recommend the following guidelines:

  • For Fine/Thin Hair: We recommend ordering 1-2 packs of hair
  • For Medium Hair: We recommend 2-3 packs of hair
  • For Thick Hair: We recommend at least 3-4 packs of hair

Ordering an extra pack of hair is always a great idea for ensuring you have the ideal amount of hair for the installation appointment. You can always use the extra pack for touch-ups or re-installation at a later date. The trick is to make sure you have enough hair to hide the divide between your natural hair and your extensions, so taking an extra pack with you for installation will ensure your stylist can create a seamless blend. We also recommend ordering a pack of replacement tape, just in case you need to re-tape any pieces in between salon visits.

How To Use Clip In Hair Extensions

For long-lasting results, the tape used in our hair extensions is a US-made hypoallergenic medical adhesive. Our tape provides a secure application that you can easily remove and reuse.

For installation, we always recommend you see a professional.

Frequently Asked Questions: Tape In Hair Extensions

Bombay Hair tape in extensions, when professionally installed, will last you 2 to 3 months. The hair itself can last up to 1 year with extra care, professional removal, and re-installation. The best way to make these last longer is to not dye, purple shampoo, or alter them in any way (just like your own hair).

Care is key when it comes to the life of your hair! Since all our hair is 100% human hair, the best advice is to treat it like your own hair. Always gently brush your hair during wear and before you store them away. Regular brushing using a specialized loop-bristle extension brush reduces tangles and maintains the extensions' integrity.

Furthermore, you should always store your hair properly in the zip bag provided or on a hair hanger inside of a carrier. The more products and heat you apply to your hair, the more love it will need. Shop Our Extension Accessories Here

Overall, the better you take care of your extensions, the longer they will last. An important factor in expanding the lifespan of your extensions is deep conditioning. It is especially beneficial to deep condition them once a week (if you wear them often). Also, overnight deep conditioning with a small amount of argan or almond oil is an extra step you can take in caring for your extensions. We recommend laying your extensions flat to dry on satin or silk.

Avoid dying, toning, or altering the hair in any way.

No. Tape-in extensions use an adhesive to bond with your natural hair, and this adhesive can be easily removed by a salon professional. We also sell a fantastic gentle bond remover.

We do recommend that you always treat your Bombay Hair like your own natural hair. Heat protectant sprays and hair oils are a great way to maintain the integrity of your hair when using our hair tools.

Our tape-in extensions use a hypoallergenic medical-grade tape made in the US that provides a strong bond. It also allows the extensions to remain discreet and comfortable throughout the wear period—typically 6-12 weeks before needing refitting. The lightweight adhesives we use make them a gentler option for fine hair compared to sew-in extensions.

You can use tape in hair extensions as many times as you want! The extensions do not cause any damage to your hair.

Yes, while you can wash your hair with tape in hair extensions, washing your hair daily is not recommended. Specifically, we recommend washing your extensions up to 3 times per week, as any amount of washing beyond that will cause the tape’s adhesive to weaken. Additionally, they should not be washed or exposed to heavy sweating for 48 hours post-installation to allow the adhesive to cure.

Important: When washing tape in hair extensions, avoid applying conditioner directly to the tape bonds to prevent loosening.

Yes, but you should wait 48 hours from when your tape in hair extensions are applied before showering. If you do need to shower, we recommend wearing a shower cap. This will ensure the adhesive has enough time to dry. We also recommend using a deep conditioning treatment once per week. Always use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to avoid weakening the adhesive.

You can either let your hair air dry completely or let your hair air dry for a few minutes and then gently use a blow dryer. Important, do not apply heat directly onto the bond.

Matching your hair extensions is easier than you think! When looking at photos online, make sure your brightness is turned all the way up and you do not have a night mode or blue filter on. We do our very best to show the true colors online.

100% Cuticle Remy Human Hair is free of silicone and collected with extra care, ensuring the cuticles are well attached for long-lasting, tangle-free hair. It is used in our semi-permanent collection (tapes, weaves, I-tips, and keratin tips). This hair is even softer than our clip hair!

We recommend getting your tape in extensions installed and removed by a professional hair salon. If you choose to do the removal at home, tape in extensions can be removed with Bombay Hair Bond Remover (for professional use only).

Place the bond remover over the adhesive part of the tape in extensions and let sit for a few minutes until it has been absorbed. Gently pull apart the tape in the extension sandwich, then softly pull off your natural hair. Being as gentle as possible will assist in maintaining the integrity of your natural hair. After removing all of your extensions, shampoo and condition your hair as usual.

At Bombay Hair, we try our best to make sure all products are fully stocked, but given the high demand and popularity of Bombay Hair products, some items may be temporarily placed on backorder, but not to worry!

When a product goes out of stock, we place it on backorder—you can still purchase a backorder item, and once it is restocked, you are first in line to receive it.

In other words, if you purchase (or have purchased) an item on backorder and you have received an order confirmation with an order number, this means your credit card has been successfully charged.
