Let’s be honest: we’ve all had those hair moments that make us want to throw in the towel (or at least the brush). When it comes to tape in hair extensions, the struggle can be very real – but here’s a little secret: it doesn’t have to be.
From slipping tapes to unwanted tangles, tape extension troubles are more common than you think. But fixing tape extensions isn’t as intimidating as it sounds, especially with Cliphair in your corner. With our premium-quality tape in hair extensions, many of these common headaches become a thing of the past. In this guide, we’re diving into the top four tape extension blunders, how to fix them, and why Cliphair is your ultimate hair saviour!
Secure Tape in Extensions: Why Are My Tapes Slipping Out?
If your tape in extensions are playing a disappearing act, it’s time to investigate. Slipping tapes can be caused by oily hair, improper application, or low-quality extensions. But don’t sweat it – this is an easy fix. Start by ensuring your hair is clean before your tape in extensions are applied. Use our Deep Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner to banish oils and buildup and dry your hair thoroughly on a medium to low heat after applying a few spritzes of our Heat Protection Spray. If you’re skipping this prep step, your tapes are likely to slip between refits.
How to Fix Tape In Extensions
Here’s the trick: tape extension placement matters. Make sure you’re not grabbing huge chunks of hair to sandwich between the tapes. Thin sections ensure the adhesive bonds securely. Also, if you’re working with flimsy tapes, you’re already at a disadvantage. That’s why our Remy Royale tape in extensions are a game changer – they’re made for a firm hold that lasts for weeks.

Preventing Tape Extension Matting: The Tangle Tango
There’s nothing worse than running your fingers through your hair and feeling a tangled mess. Matting is a common complaint for tape extension newbies, especially at the roots or between rows. But here’s the tea: matting isn’t inevitable and it’s totally preventable.
How to Prevent Matting Like a Pro
Invest in our extension-friendly detangling hairbrush and give your hair some love at least twice a day. Pair that with our hydrating haircare and you’ll be mat-free in no time. For a complete step-by-step, check out our ultimate care guide. Remember to brush before and after washing to prevent knots from forming. Oh, and a quick tip: never sleep with wet hair. Instead, loosely braid your dried extensions before bed to prevent friction whilst you sleep as this can cause knotting, or sleep in other protective hairstyles to keep them smooth overnight. Finally, remember to stick to the recommended refit schedule of 6-8 weeks, as this will prevent your hair between the tape in rows from tangling as your natural hair grows out.
How to Blend Tape in Extensions with Your Natural Hair
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: blending. But don’t panic! Blending tape in extensions isn’t as hard as it seems. The key is choosing the right colour and length – and we’ve got you covered there. With our Free Colour Match Service and over 70 luxurious shades, from natural tones to balayage beauties, finding your perfect match is a breeze.
How to Blend Tape in Extensions Flawlessly
Placement is everything. Ensure your hairstylist places your tape ins and all types of permanent hair extensions strategically for natural-looking volume and movement. For example, if your crown tends to separate quite low down, you will want to avoid adding tape extensions here as they could show. The same applies for around the face, if you often wear your hair up, you might be better off with more discreet extensions such as nano ring hair extensions or I-tips.
Adding layers can also help merge your natural hair and extensions seamlessly. Our professional hair extensions are designed to blend effortlessly, thanks to their high-quality human hair. And because they come in so many shades and lengths, you’ll never feel limited. If you’re Googling how to blend tape in extensions, your search ends here. Cliphair makes it easy to achieve that “I woke up like this” look! As well as the hair extension type, your haircut is equally just as important. Hair extensions shouldn't just be applied and left, they need to be correctly cut in by softening the ends and layering them into your hair for a natural finish. This is why it's crucial they are applied by a professional hairstylist, not only to have you looking your best, but to make sure they neatly align with your natural locks.
