1.2. Origin of tape in hair extension

Nowadays, there are 2 main sources of tape in hair extensions: human hair extension and synthetic hair extension.

Human hair tape in extension: Human hair refers to tape in hair extensions made out of real hair from humans. There are 3 subclasses of human hair, divided based on the origin of hair material namely virgin hair, remy hair and non-remy hair.

• Virgin hair: collected from only 1 person. Virgin hair has not been under any chemical process, maining its consistency, natural color with smooth and silky feeling.
• Remy hair: gathered from multiple donors. The texture consistency is not as much as virgin but the quality is still guaranteed. Tape in hair extensions made of remy hair are able to be dyed in many tone colors except from 613.
• Non-remy hair: collected massly from many people. The cuticle of hair strands don’t follow the same direction, resulting in poor quality of products.

Synthetic tape hair extension: In contrast, synthetic hair refers to fake hair strands, which are made artificially by nylon or acrylic. They were under various chemical processes to achieve color and look like real human hair strands. Although tape in hair extensions made of synthetic hair seems so sleek, smooth and silky, they cannot bring users such a natural look like virgin tape in hair.

Besides, synthetic tape in hair extensions are said to have a short lifespan. Customers cannot treat and take care of synthetic tapes like their own human hair, leading to the fact that they are easy to be tangled, matted and therefore undurable.

Haircare is absolutely essential for the users to take into account if they want to extend the longevity of their products. We have some valuable tips provided below for the human hair extensions tape in:

• Do not comb or brush your hair extensions when it is wet: When your hair extension is wet, the threads tend to stick with the others harder or be weakened and more sensitive. Thus, when you try to comb or brush, the hair will definitely become tangled or breakable.

• Always keep your hair extensions clean and untangled: It is suggested to invest in a high-quality brush to keep your hair extensions in shape. Brushing downward motion until the end of the hair. Place the other hand on the attachment points then hold the extension firmly to brush. If there is a knot, gently coax it instead of tearing.

• Carefully choose products for your tape hair extension: Please take note that you should avoid shampoo and other hair products containing sulfates, otherwise it will remove the natural oil of your hair, making your hair as well as your tape in hair extension easily tangled, matted and shedding.

• Avoid using oil-based products near the roots of your tape in hair extension: Oily hair care products and hair conditioners are necessary for smooth hair extensions.

Our recommendation is that you only should put oily hair care or conditioners at your ear level or under for a long lasting tape in hair extension.
• Avoid heat application directly on the sticky tabs of your tape hair extension: In addition to the oily ingredients, heat is also regarded as a factor affecting significantly to the lifespan of tape in hair extensions.
