Tips to remember when using tape in hair extensions for short hair:

• Your natural hair length has to be at least 4-5” long to help you conceal and blend the extensions into your hair.
• This length also allows for enough space at the roots for the extensions to be worn with a natural, tension-free feel.
• If the extension is too far away from the root, it will be obvious and have an unnatural appearance.
• Leave a small gap from the scalp otherwise the hair extension won’t lie flat.
• To ensure that your tape in extensions blend into your short hair fully, you might need to customize them by cutting, coloring, and styling them accordingly.
• You will require a mirror at the front and a 360 mirror to see the back of your hair for seamless application.
• If it is your first time using tape in human hair extensions, it's always advisable to visit a professional hair stylist.

Why you should choose tape in hair extensions for short hair:

• Tape ins give some great color options to choose from.
• You can add a splash of color to your hair by using tape in human hair extensions for highlighting your hair.
• They do not damage your natural hair if used and removed properly.
• You can attain the thickness, length, and texture that you want.
• Give your natural hair a break from chemicals by styling with tape in hair extensions.
• You can use, remove, and reuse according to desired hairstyle.

Here's how you can achieve the look of your dreams with tape in real human hair extensions:

• First, wash and dry your hair so your extensions last longer.
• Then part your hair at the back and apply the extension right near the scalp where your hair is parted.
• Take a thin portion of your hair and place it below the extension before applying another extension to sandwich it.
• Make sure to press the tape in extensions firmly for 10-20 seconds and then you're all set.
• Repeat the process for others.

Pro Tip:

Warm up the tape after attaching it to get a really good bond. You can use a hair dryer on low setting, or a hair straightener on extra low setting.

How long do tape in hair extensions last?

Each installation lasts 6-8 weeks depending on your hair growth and proper usage. However, it is recommended to remove and reuse the tape in extensions every 4 weeks to maintain the quality of the hair extension. During the maintenance process, treating the hair extensions with proper shampoos and moisturizers from superhairpieces.ca will help reduce any matting.

Why settle for short hair when you can alternate between short and long hair according to your choice? Tape in extensions are the perfect solution for that.
