As a professional hair extension manufacturer, Better Hair has been in this industry for more than 10 years and fully understands all your confusion about hair extensions (quality, care, installation, damage).

In this article, we will take you through the history of Tape-In Extensions-One of the most popular types of hair extension products. As well as the evolution of the tape-ins series and the latest technological innovations.

After reading this article, you will have a comprehensive understanding of Tape-in extensions and the things you need to pay attention to before buying them. Now let me get started.

Tape-in hair extensions were first introduced to the market around 2007. Before that, hair extensions were typically applied using methods like sew-ins, bonding, and fusion. Compared to other methods, tape-in ​​hair extensions have a stronger effect on natural hair. Tape-in extensions were developed as a more user-friendly and less damaging alternative.

With the introduction of tape hair extensions, it once accounted for 30%-40% of the hair extension market. Since their introduction in 2007, tape-in extensions have become a go-to option for both everyday users and professional salons, revolutionizing the hair extension industry and offering a modern alternative to previous methods.

Advantages of Tape-in human ​​hair extensions

1. Popularity and Convenience
Tape-in extensions are highly popular because they are relatively easy to apply and maintain compared to other methods like sew-in or fusion extensions. Their installation time is quicker, usually ranging from 30 to 60 minutes, making them a convenient option for both consumers and hairstylists.

2. Affordability and Reusability
Compared to permanent hair extensions, tape-ins are more affordable, both in terms of initial cost and reapplication. Many tape-in extensions can be reused after removal, which adds to their cost-effectiveness.

3. Minimal Damage to Natural Hair
Because tape-ins do not require heat or harsh chemicals during application or removal, they are considered less damaging to natural hair. This aspect has made tape-in extensions popular among consumers concerned about hair health, contributing to their increased market share.

Traditional tape-ins have a visible adhesive band at the root, which can sometimes be detectable, especially for people with fine or light-colored hair. Inject tape-in extensions are an advanced version of traditional tape-in extensions that offer further improvements in appearance, comfort, and durability. 

Injection tape-in extensions were developed more recently, around 2016-2017, as an evolution of the traditional tape-in extensions. They were created in response to the growing demand for even more seamless, natural-looking, and comfortable hair extensions.

The goal was to improve upon the benefits of regular tape-ins by offering an extension method that virtually eliminated any visible attachment, creating a more undetectable look, especially for users with fine or thin hair.

Advantages of InjectionTape-in ​​hair extensions

1. More Seamless, Natural Appearance

Inject tape-in extensions differ from standard tape-ins in how the hair is attached to the adhesive tape. Instead of a visible band at the root, inject tape-ins have hair strands injected directly into the tape, making the attachment nearly invisible. This results in a much more natural look, particularly for those with finer hair, as the extensions blend seamlessly without any noticeable tape lines.

This advancement has drawn in consumers who are particularly concerned about the discreetness of their extensions, expanding the product's appeal beyond the traditional user base.

2. Comfort and Lightweight Design

The injection process allows for a thinner, more flexible base, making the extensions even lighter and more comfortable to wear compared to standard tape-ins. This design puts less pressure on the scalp and is more comfortable for long-term use, especially for those with sensitive scalps. Compared to traditional tape-ins, the new injection tape-ins are more suitable for all types of hair. Perfect for fine, dense, and sparse hair.

3.Reusability:

Like traditional tape-ins, injection tape-ins can be reused after reapplication, making them a cost-effective premium option.

Injection tape-ins were born out of a desire to meet evolving consumer demands for more natural, invisible, and comfortable hair extensions. Their development has since pushed the hair extension industry toward higher-end, luxury solutions that cater to clients looking for seamless, high-quality hair extensions.

In our recent blog we have detailed how to care for, install and purchase high quality tape-in ​​hair extensions.

With the promotion and success of the luxurious and high-end Injection Tape-In line, salons have seen increased demand for professional installation services of Injection tape-ins.

In this process, new demands continue to emerge. In order to solve the problem of tape-in ​​disassembly speed and consumers' demand for large-volume hair extensions. 

Better Hair introduces a new product that blends the invisible, natural benefits of injected technology- New Injection Tape-In Weft Extensions

Advantage Of Injection Tape-In Weft Extensions

Injection Tape-In Weft combines all the advantages of the Weft series and the Injection Tape-In series.

Our new tape-in weft extensions are engineered to be lighter than traditional tape wefts, significantly reducing tension and pressure on the scalp. This lightweight design makes them ideal for clients concerned with comfort, especially during long-term wear. Despite their reduced weight, these wefts maintain structural integrity, offering the same volume and fullness without compromising the natural hair. The lighter construction also promotes better hair and scalp health, minimizing the risk of traction alopecia or breakage often associated with heavier extensions. This advancement makes them particularly suitable for individuals with fine or sensitive hair, ensuring a more comfortable and seamless experience.

3.Customization Options

Weft extensions can be customized in terms of width, length, color, and texture. This makes it easier to achieve a natural and personalized look, as the wefts can be cut and tailored to suit the wearer’s hair density and style preference.

6. Reusability

High-quality Tape weft extensions can be reused multiple times, particularly when applied with tapes. This makes them a cost-effective option, as they can be removed, cleaned, and reinstalled with fresh tapes or bonds.

7. Long-lasting Use

Our new tape weft product uses 100% Cuticle human hair raw materials.

Cuticle Remy Hair refers to hair that has been collected and processed in a way that keeps the cuticles intact and aligned in the same direction. This alignment is crucial as it prevents tangling and matting, which are common issues with lower-quality extensions.
The intact cuticles also provide a natural shine and texture, making the hair look just like your own, even after months of wear.

Over time, some hair extensions can lose their volume due to breakage or shedding. However, cuticle Remy hair holds its thickness and fullness for months, ensuring a consistent and voluminous look throughout its wear.
