What are tape-in hair extensions and how do they work?

Tape-in hair extensions are a popular type of hair extension that involves attaching small wefts or pieces of hair to your natural locks using a special kind of adhesive tape. The process begins with sectioning off the client's natural hair, then the stylist will take a thin strip of 'tape-in' extension, which has adhesive on one side, and press it underneath a small section of the client's own hair. Another strip is then placed on top, effectively sandwiching the client's own hair between two extensions. The adhesive tape used is specially designed to be gentle on your natural strands while still providing a secure hold.

How long does it take to apply tape-in hair extensions?
