Buy Guide for Tape In Hair Extensions

When purchasing your tape in hair extensions, the number of packs you need will depend on your natural hair’s thickness. 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 Tape In Hair Extensions

Tape used in our hair extensions is a hypoallergenic medical adhesive that is made in the U.S. Our tape provides a secure application that can easily be removed and used for reapplication.

For installation, we always recommend you see a professional.

Hair Type: 100% Cuticle Remy Human Hair
Application: 45 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes
Reapplication: 6 to 9 weeks
Life Span: Up to 12 months

Proper Care for Tape In Hair Extensions

To ensure your tape in extensions last as long as possible, follow these care guidelines:

Gentle Washing: Wash your extensions up to 3 times a week using a sulfate-free shampoo. Avoid applying conditioner directly to the tape bonds to prevent loosening.
Heat Styling: Use heat styling tools cautiously, and avoid applying heat directly onto the adhesive bonds. For best results, let your hair air dry before using a blow dryer.
Deep Conditioning: Regular deep conditioning, especially with products like Argan or Almond Oil, can extend the life of your extensions and keep them looking vibrant.
Storage: Always store your extensions in a zip bag or on a hanger to maintain their quality when not in use.

Frequently Asked Questions

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% Cuticle Remy 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. Always store your hair properly in the zip bag provided, or on a hang-your-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 by deep conditioning. It is great 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 that can easily be removed by a salon professional. We also sell a great 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.

You can use tape in hair extensions as many times as you want for up to one year with proper care, removal and reinstallation.

Yes, you can wash your tape in extensions, but it’s best to limit washing to 2-3 times per week to preserve the adhesive. When washing, avoid applying conditioner directly to the tape bonds, as this can cause them to loosen. Gentle care will help maintain the extensions and your natural hair.

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.

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.

We recommend getting your tape in extensions installed and removed by a professional hair salon. If you choose to do this 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.
