Transform Your Look with a Tape-in Hair Extensions
One of the safest and quickest ways to add volume to your hair is with tape in hair extensions.

Plus—all of our tape-in hair extensions can be applied and reused several times before a replacement is recommended, so you get the most out of your investment.

Why Choose Tape-in Hair Extensions?
If you’re new to the world of hair extensions, you might hear the word “tape” and think of flimsy, unreliable bonds. In reality, the opposite is true. Through years of testing and perfecting their formulas, Bellami created the best tape in hair extensions that look amazing, while still being comfortable, waterproof, and durable. Bellami tape ins use a specialty polyurethane adhesive built for extended wear, styling, and reuse.
Pros
Lightweight
Tape-in hair extensions are made of small, lightweight sections of hair that can be applied between two sections of your natural hair. When done right, they are hardly noticeable and don’t weigh down your hair.
Safe on hair
Because tape in hair extensions are so lightweight, they don’t pull down on the hair follicle. They are designed to simply grow out with your natural hair. When removed by a professional with an oil-based product, tape ins don’t pull or leave behind damage.
Quick application time
Don’t have time for an all-day hair appointment every other month? Tape in hair extensions often take less than an hour to install, depending on your hair type and length. Get in and out with a total hair transformation on your lunch break!
Easy maintenance
Tape in hair extensions function a lot like your natural hair. You can wash your hair with them in, style it, and even cut it. Just make sure to use adhesive-friendly products, brush your hair gently, and avoid tightly-pulled hairstyles.
More affordable option
Compared to sewn wefts and fusion bonds, tape in hair extensions are definitely a more affordable option. They’re easier to place and reposition, which makes them less expensive.
Cons
Adjustment period
If you’re not used to tape in hair extensions, adjusting to them can take a while. You’ll need to be careful when running your fingers through your hair, for example, so that you don’t tug on the taped sections.
Need 24–48 hours to rest
This is a temporary one, but some find it annoying that you can’t get your hair wet (either from showering or excessive sweating) for 24–48 hours after application. The adhesive bonds need this time to settle.
Require removal and reapplication every 6–8 weeks
While maintenance is minimal, tape in hair extensions do need to be removed and replaced as your hair grows out. If you’re not willing to visit the salon every 1–2 months, tape ins may not be for you. Keep in mind that all other extensions (aside from clip-ins) also require regular application visits.
Some minimal damage is possible
Just like a rubberband or hair clip can pull extra hair from your head, tape in hair extensions may result in a little bit of damage or hair loss over time. However, most clients note very minimal issues, especially when tape ins are applied and removed by a professional.
Aftercare & Maintenance for Lasting Results
To get the most out of your tape in hair extensions, it’s important to care for them properly. Follow these basic tips for happy, healthy hair between maintenance appointments:
-Use products free from alcohol, sulfates, and oils when washing and styling around your extensions.
-Avoid applying conditioner directly to taped areas.
-Sleep with your hair protected in a loose braid, ponytail, or bonnet.
-Keep your hair as tangle-free as possible.
-Choose compatible hairstyles (i.e. no tight high ponytails, excessive heat)
