Tape extensions are installed by sandwiching a thin section of your natural hair between two adhesive tape wefts. They sit flat against the head, creating a discreet, natural-looking result. Installation time varies depending on how many tapes are needed and your desired outcome.

Tape extensions typically need to be moved up every 8-12 weeks depending on your natural hair growth. They are professionally removed, the adhesive is replaced, and the tapes are reapplied ready to reinstall back in the hair

When fitted correctly, tape extensions are lightweight, flexible and comfortable to wear. They sit relatively flat against your scalp, making them easy to blend into your natural hair. You may notice them initially while you adjust, but they should not cause ongoing pain or pulling.

Tape extensions come in different lengths to suit your desired look, from adding subtle fullness to creating long, flowing locks. They can be bought at 18 or 22 inches. They can also be used to fill out finer ends and add thickness without dramatically changing your length. Your natural hair length, density and the number of tapes used will help determine the most seamless result.

To keep your Samantha Harrison tape extensions looking beautiful and healthy, proper homecare is essential.

● Washing: Wait 48 hours after installation before washing. Use extension-safe products and avoid applying conditioner or oils directly to the tape bonds.

● Brushing: Brush gently at least twice daily, starting at the ends and working upwards. Hold the roots to prevent pulling.

● Drying & styling: Always dry your roots and tape bonds thoroughly. Use heat protectant and avoid excessive heat near the tapes.

● Sleeping: Never sleep with wet hair. Brush before bed and loosely braid your hair to prevent tangling.

● Swimming: Protect your hair from chlorine and salt water, rinse thoroughly afterwards and dry your tapes properly.
