Tape-In Extensions Accessories – Everything You Need for Perfect Hold
With the right tape-in extensions accessories, you can ensure that your tape extensions stay securely in place for up to eight weeks before needing to be removed. After this period, they can be taken out easily with our suitable tools – leaving no damage or sticky residue behind.
Professional Extensions Brush
Gentle care starts with the right brush. A professional extensions brush is a must-have accessory for anyone wearing tape-in extensions. Standard plastic brushes often have sharp edges that pull on the hair or cause static, which can damage the delicate hair strands. Since extensions don’t receive nutrients through the root like natural hair, they can’t repair themselves as easily. That’s why a natural bristle brush is highly recommended – it detangles without pulling, smooths the cuticle layer, and adds a healthy shine.
Tape tabs for Reapplication
To reuse your tape-in extensions, you’ll need replacement extension tape. This essential accessory is available as rolls or pre-cut strips. Both types provide a strong, long-lasting hold while allowing for easy removal and comfortable wear.
Thermal Tape Application Tool
The thermal tape applicator seals the tape areas of the hair extensions using gentle heat. This causes the adhesive surfaces to slightly fuse together, ensuring that each strand stays securely in place. We recommend this tool specifically for thermal tape-in extensions.
Tape Extensions Pliers
For even more secure hold, use fixing pliers to press the tape bonds together. The added pressure strengthens the connection, making the extensions resistant to movement, wind, and everyday activities. When applied correctly, this method can ensure a hold lasting up to eight weeks. Without the use of fixing pliers, proper adhesion cannot be guaranteed.
Hair Clips
Keep surrounding hair out of the way with professional hair clips while working on your tape-in extensions. These clips are available in metal or plastic. Metal clips are flatter and toothless – perfect for precise sectioning – while finger clips are better for holding back larger sections of hair.
Protective Shields
Protective shields are another important accessory when working with tape-in extensions. They are placed around individual hair strands to prevent nearby hair from coming into contact with adhesive, heat, or remover. This ensures precise, clean work and professional-looking results.
Tape-In Remover
After six to eight weeks, when the extensions have grown out, the remover comes into play. This tape-in extensions accessory gently loosens the adhesive bonds, allowing the tapes to slide out effortlessly. Once removed, the hairpieces can be cleaned and reused with new adhesive strips. The remover works quickly, is economical in use, and leaves the hair smooth and undamaged.
