1. Tape In Technique

Tape-in hair extensions are a popular, semi-permanent method for adding length, volume, or

color to natural hair. They are lightweight, lie flat, and blend seamlessly with your natural hair.

Here’s an overview of the technique:

What Are Tape-In Extensions?

Tape-in extensions consist of small wefts of hair pre-taped with a medical-grade adhesive. They

are applied close to the root, sandwiching a thin section of natural hair between two extension

wefts.

Tape-In Application Process

1  Preparation

  • Wash and thoroughly dry your natural hair. Avoid using conditioner near the roots, as it can prevent the adhesive from sticking.

  • Section the hair into clean, horizontal rows starting at the nape.

2  Placement

  • Take a thin slice of natural hair from the sectioned row (small enough for the adhesive to hold securely

  • Remove the protective strip from one tape-in extension and place it underneath the section of natural hair, about 1/4 inch from the scalp

  • Place another tape-in extension on top, sandwiching the natural hair between the two adhesive strips. Press firmly to secure

3  Continue Sectioning

  • Repeat the process, working up the head, keeping even spacing between the extensions.Avoid placing extensions too close to the scalp edges to ensure a natural look

4  Blending

  • Once all extensions are installed, trim and blend them as needed to match the natural hair’s shape and length

Aftercare Tips

  • Wait 48 hours before washing your hair to allow the adhesive to set.

  • Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to prolong the life of the extensions.

  • Avoid oils or heavy conditioners near the roots to prevent the tapes from slipping.

  • Brush gently with a loop or soft-bristle brush to avoid pulling on the tapes.

Removal and Maintenance

  • Extensions typically last 6–8 weeks before they need to be reinstalled due to natural hair growth.

  • To remove, apply an alcohol-based adhesive remover to loosen the tape, then gently peel them off.

  • Extensions can be reused if they’re in good condition; the adhesive tape will need to bereplaced.

2. I-Tip Technique

The I-Tip hair extension technique is a popular, semi-permanent hair extension method that uses small, individual sections of hair attached using tiny beads or rings. It is a versatile and non-damaging option for those seeking to add length, volume, or color to their natural hair.Here’s a breakdown of the technique:

What Are I-Tip Hair Extensions?

  • Structure: I-Tip extensions consist of small, individual hair strands with a keratin tip shaped like the letter “I.”

  • Material: Can be made from human or synthetic hair, though human hair is preferred for a natural look and durability.

  • Attachment: Installed using small, silicone-lined beads or rings without heat or glue.

Installation Process

1  Preparation

  • Wash and dry your natural hair thoroughly (no conditioner near the roots).

  • Section the hair into small parts for precise application.

2  Placement

  • Take a small section of natural hair and thread it through a loop tool or bead applicator

  • Slide a bead onto the natural hair strand

3  Attachment

  • Insert the I-Tip extension into the bead alongside the natural hair.

  • Use pliers to clamp the bead securely, holding the extension in place

4  Repeat

  • Continue the process throughout the head, focusing on even distribution for a natural look.

Benefits of I-Tip Extensions

  • No Heat or Glue: Reduces the risk of damage to your natural hair.

  • Reusable: Extensions can often be reused with proper care.

  • Versatility: Can be styled, curled, or straightened like natural hair.

  • Natural Look: The small beads are discreet, blending seamlessly with natural hair

Maintenance

  • Brushing: Use a loop brush or wide-tooth comb to avoid tugging on the beads.

  • Washing: Wash gently with sulfate-free shampoo, avoiding pulling at the roots.

  • Repositioning: Extensions need to be repositioned every 6–8 weeks as your natural hair grows

Who is it Best For?

I-Tip extensions are ideal for individuals with medium to thick hair, as fine hair may struggle to hold the beads securely. They are a great option for those looking for flexibility and a non damaging attachment method

3. Micro Weft Technique

Micro weft hair extensions are a semi-permanent hair extension method designed for a natural, lightweight, and seamless look. They are created by sewing a thin weft of hair onto a row of natural hair using a bead and thread technique. Here’s an overview of the process, benefits, and considerations:

The Process

1  Preparation

  • A section of your natural hair is separated, leaving a row where the extension will be attached.
     

  • Small beads are threaded onto the natural hair along the sectioned row.

2  Attachment

  • The weft of hair is placed along the section.
     

  • The weft is secured by sewing it into the beads using a thread and needle.

3  Customization

  • The stylist cuts and blends the extensions to match the natural hair for a seamless look.

Benefits Micro Weft Technique

  • Natural Appearance: The thin, flexible weft lays flat against the scalp, making it less noticeable.

  • Less Damage: Since no heat or glue is used, this method is gentler on natural hair.

  • Lightweight: Micro wefts are comfortable and do not feel heavy.

  • Reusability: High-quality wefts can be reused with proper care

  • Versatility: Suitable for various hair types and lengths.

Maintenance

  • Refitting: Every 6-8 weeks, the extensions need to be refitted as the natural hair grows.

  • Care Routine: Use sulfate-free shampoo and avoid applying conditioner near the bonds.

  • Styling: While heat styling is possible, use heat protectant products to maintain extension health.
