How to attach the Tape-in Extensions
Tape-in extensions are a particularly gentle method of hair extension, as no heat is required. For this reason, tape-in extensions are also referred to as the "cold method": two 4 cm wide wefts form a double strand or double weft (colloquially known as a sandwich) that encloses your own hair. The 4 cm wefts can also be cut into two wefts to create a narrower weft. In the following section, you will learn how to attach the extensions.
The process – Installing Tape-in Extensions
- First, the hair is divided into several sections and pinned up.
- When applying the tape-in extensions, start from the bottom.
- The first layer of adhesive strips is stuck underneath the section of your own hair, and the second layer is placed directly on top.
- In this way, all tape-in extensions are gradually attached to the hair.

Benefits of tape-in extensions made of human hair
This gentle hair extension method has several benefits:
- The adhesive strips are so flat that this method is ideal for thin hair. Since the wefts are 4cm wide, the weight of the extensions is well distributed. Weak hair is thus protected as much as possible and only has to bear a small amount of weight.
- Our tape-in extensions made from human hair look particularly healthy and natural.
- With tape-in extensions you can create many different hairstyles.
- The extensions can be reused multiple times. Once they have grown out, you can reattach them a little higher using replacement tapes.
The right care for your Tape-in Extensions
To ensure that your hair extensions last as long as possible and look good, you should only use suitable care products. You can find these and the appropriate accessories for tape-in extensions in our shop.
Please note:
- Do not use care products that contain silicone
- Care and styling products containing alcohol and oil must not come into contact with the adhesive strips.
- When styling with a straightening iron, you must not get too close to the tape strips, otherwise the adhesive will come loose.
- Otherwise, there are practically no restrictions. You can style, straighten and curl your hair as you wish.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you remove tape-in extensions?
Removing tape-in extensions is very easy. All you need is bond remover, which you can find in our accessories range. You simply pull the tapes apart a little, spray the solvent between them and then pull the tapes apart completely. You can spray any adhesive residue again and then comb it out gently.
How can I reuse tape-in extensions?
When the extensions have grown out, you can carefully remove them with the bond remover and then reuse them. To do this, thoroughly remove all adhesive residue from the extensions and clean them. You can then easily reattach them with replacement tapes from our shop.
Can I dye the tape-in extensions?
Our extensions are made from Remy human hair and can be dyed. However, it's best to have your trusted hairdresser do this. Please note that our guarantee will be void if you don't use the correct care products for the extensions, or if you dye them.
