Are Hair Extensions For You?

Our stylists and hair extension experts in Dundee recommend tape for just about everyone! They are one of our most popular methods! If you have thin and fragile hair, we always recommend tape because it’s a gentle method with thin and highly discreet attachments.

What Are The Advantages Of Tape?

They don’t damage your hair. The pieces weigh between 2 and 3g so they won’t feel heavy or slide off. They work really well if you have fragile and/or damaged hair. They are ideal if you have thin hair. Do you have thin hair in which attachments always remain visible? That’s no longer a problem with Tape-on extensions.

Another benefits is the natural-looking results. Thanks to the soft, thin tape, you get a discreet attachment. Your locks will certainly stand out, but it won’t be obvious that you’re wearing extensions.

They are also easy to remove by one of our extension experts and can be reused for up to 8 months if you follow our recommendations for care and professional products to use. They simply require a maintenance appointment are between 6-8 weeks as your hair grows.

Tape-on hair extensions are applied directly on the root of the hair using a lightweight design. They are available in a range of multi-tonal shades and two optional lengths, 16-18” and 20-22”. The tape weft extensions add natural-looking length, volume, colour, and shine to your locks.

Seriously, you’ll wonder what you ever did without them.

Hair Extensions Extra Advice

If you suffer from an oily scalp – wash hair regularly, as a build up of natural oil cause the bonds to slip or fall out.

Don’t use oils or serums near bonds.

Treat your extensions with the same respect your own hair. Maintenance is advised every 6-8 weeks and salon professional products should be used at home to maintain your extensions.

We do not advise colouring your extensions at home.

When swimming or on holiday we advise keeping your hair tied back and washing it directly after being in pool or sea water.

Be careful when using suncream as contact with your extensions can cause a change in colour.
