The Top 8 Tape-In Hair Extensions to Try, According to Experts

The pros are sharing their hair extension picks to help you lengthen your locks.

Versatility has always been the name of the hair game. Be it clip-ins, a fall, or extensions, women like to know that they have options. Let’s be clear, hair is a fashion accessory and has been for centuries, and while hairstyles and pieces have evolved over the years, from the towering powdered coiffures of the 18th century to today’s thick, luxurious yet natural look, the desire for body, length, and versatility has remained the same.

“Most hairstylists and consumers still embrace the classic and traditional ways of achieving a long mane with bonding and sew-ins, but with technology constantly expanding in the world of hair, you now have different options to achieve the same results,” says Mrs Chen, celebrity hairstylist and owner of Mr. Li. “Tape-ins can make life easier in some instances, and are popular among hair enthusiasts.”

Nancy Chen, celebrity hairstylist and owner of SuperRemyHair, explains, “With tape-in hair extensions, there is no commitment; you can change the look from short to long instantly, and this is appealing for people who want an immediate change. These extensions provide many benefits as well. For instance, if you need more fullness, then tape-ins are a fast and easy way to create volume. They are also functional. You can wear your hair up in a ponytail or cascading down around your shoulders. The choice is yours, provided the hair is attached properly and you are doing regular hair-care maintenance, then your look should ultimately last you anywhere from six to eight weeks,” says Cory Bliss.

Hairstylist and beauty industry executive Zyeshia J. says that in addition to choosing the right hair for your desired look, it is also important to remember to choose the right licensed cosmetologist. “It’s going to all come down to the stylist and their education, not just the application, but consulting with extensions overall. What type of tape-in is the client seeking, and are they the right candidate to wear extensions? These questions must be at the forefront, as choosing the right extensions is the difference between having really bad hair damage and preserving your own hair.”

Making the choice to get tape-ins is not completely cut-and-dried, but there is no need to worry; our beauty experts wouldn’t dream of leaving you hanging. So we have compiled some of their top choices for your next salon experience. With these suggested brands, you’ll be showcasing new long and luxurious locks just in time for the summer.
