Introduction: What is tape in hair extensions and the history.

Common tape-in extensions first became popular in the 1990s as an alternative to fusion bonding hair extensions. This product originated from people’s desire to find more convenient and comfortable hair extension options. It evolved from basic hair bulk to become what it is today. 

Tape-in extensions were developed to allow for easy application and a seamless look, while still allowing the hair to be styled as desired. Users can apply the small pieces to their own hair using double-sided tape, the adhesive tape bonds the extension hair securely to the natural hair,  yet is gentle enough for long-term wear. Tape-ins fulfill the demand for lightweight hair extensions that blend naturally with a person’s own tresses.
