Ever thought about shaking up your hair game with tape in extensions? Whether you’re dreaming of mermaid-length locks or just want a bit more oomph in your ‘do, these little wonders can work some serious magic. But, like picking the right pair of sunnies for your face shape, matching tape in extensions to your hair type is key to nailing the look. Let’s dive into the deets, Aussie style.
Alright, so tape in extensions are these nifty bits of hair that stick close to your roots through, yep, you guessed it, tape. They're a hit because they're light, don’t mess up your hair much, and let's face it, they can totally transform your look overnight. But, it’s not just about slapping them in and hoping for the best. You’ve got to match them to your hair type for that flawless, “Is that her real hair?” vibe.
Got fine or thin hair and worried extensions will weigh you down or stick out like a sore thumb? Stress less! Tape ins are actually fab for fine hair. They’re low-key and blend in super well. Just remember to keep it light so you’re not feeling like you’re carrying around extra baggage.
Go for a perfect colour match to keep things looking natural.
Have a pro do the fitting so you don’t end up with a headache from too-tight tapes.
If you’re blessed with thick hair and wanna amp it up even more, tape ins have got you covered. You've got plenty of natural cover to hide the tapes, but make sure you grab enough extensions to match your mane’s mighty volume.
Pick high-density extensions to mingle with your lush locks.
Layering is your friend for that breezy, blended look.
