Twisted Fringe Hair Extension

Twisted Fringe is a hair extension that is adheres to your natural hair by the use of a strong, see-through adhesive tape.

Twisted Fringe is a hair extension that is adheres to your natural hair by the use of a strong, see-through adhesive tape.  The tape extension is virtually undetectable and lie flat against the scalp causing no discomfort. They are not sewn, braided of clipped on to you hair, so there is no extensive damage. Also, no heat fusion is used to adhere the extensions.

They can be easily removed with an adhesive bond removing agent containing acetone to gently breakdown the adhesive and loosen the wefts without damaging your own hair. The same remover can be used on the wefts before you apply new tape to reuse the hair extensions.

The best type of tape in hair extensions are those made from 100% human hair or Remy hair. They look and feel just like your own natural hair. Very natural looking, with no noticeable bumps.  With the proper care, tape-in extensions can last as long as other types of extensions, about 6-8 weeks.  Hair extensions are mainly used to add volume, length and/or color to your hair. This type of extension is light-weight compared to the other methods of insertion.

You can wear your hair up or down. You can style as normal with a curling iron or straightened.  Ideal for people with thinning hair and for adding length or volume or simply adding highlights without chemicals. Hair washing is normal. It is recommended to condition only lower part of the stands as conditioner has many oils that may loosen the adhesive.

The application of tape hair extensions is pretty simple; you section your hair into a thin straight line, remove the backing tape seal and place it under a small section of your natural hair, as close to the scalp as possible. It is advised to use as little hair as possible as the sticking strength of the tape will be much higher, the more hair you stick it to, the less likely it is to hold. You then need to smooth your hair onto the tape using the end of a tail comb; then you will need to take another piece of tape hair, remove the seal and press it directly on top of the previous piece. So the thin section of your natural hair is pretty much ‘sandwiched’ between the two pieces of tape hair extensions. It is then recommended to leave your hair unwashed for at least 3 days so the taped hair has enough time to set. These hair extensions can be applied as a full or partial head application.
