Our Tape Extension Range

We offer three tape extension collections; each made from 100% Remy human hair. Here's what sets them apart.

Classic Tape In Extensions

Our best-selling tape-ins, available in the widest colour range. Each pack contains 100g (40 wefts) in lengths from 14" to 26". Made from AAA grade single drawn remy hair extensions, they last 3-6 months with proper care. A brilliant option if you want premium hair extensions at an accessible price.

Remy Royale Tape-In Extensions

Our premium Remy Royale extensions are AAAAA grade, double drawn for maximum thickness from root to tip. Each pack contains 50g (20 wefts) in lengths from 14" to 22", lasting 6-12 months. For the most discreet finish, try our invisible tape extensions, which feature a hair-covered adhesive tab that blends right into your natural hair.

All three ranges use medical-grade adhesive and sit flat against the scalp for a comfortable, seamless tape extension finish. For a detailed breakdown, read our tape in extension guide. If you love that seamless look but want a temporary option too, our seamless clip in hair extensions are well worth a look.

Tape Extension Lengths

Our tape hair extensions come in a wide range of lengths to suit every look:

  • 14" - Sits around shoulder length. Great for subtle, natural-looking volume.
  • 16" - Falls just past the shoulders. A popular choice for a balanced boost.
  • 18" - Reaches the mid-back. Our most requested length for both volume and added length.
  • 20" - Falls to the lower back for a more dramatic result.
  • 22" - A real statement length, perfect for special occasions.
  • 24" - 26" - Maximum length, available in our Classic range.

If you're after extra-long options in a temporary format, our 26 inch clip in hair extensions are worth exploring too.

Find Your Perfect Shade

With over 50 hair extension shades to choose from, matching your natural colour (or going bold with something new) is easy. Our tape-in range covers everything from base shades to multi-tonal blends, and we're always adding new colours based on trends and customer requests.

Are Tape Extensions Right for You?

Tape-in extensions work beautifully across most hair types. They're a popular choice for anyone wanting a semi-permanent look that lasts for months without daily application.

Best for Fine to Average Hair

If you've got fine or thin hair, tape extensions are one of the best options available. The flat weft sits close to the scalp and blends naturally without adding bulk. Both our Classic and Remy Royale ranges suit thin hair extensions wearers, with lightweight wefts that won't pull or strain your natural hair. Those with thicker hair will love them too, you'll just need a few more packs.

Professional Fitting Is Essential

All tape-in extensions should be fitted and removed by a qualified hair extensionist. Professional tape in application ensures correct placement, protects your natural hair, and gives you the best results. Your stylist will handle tape in installation and all maintenance appointments going forward. For a closer look at what's involved, check out our extension fitting guide.

Tape Extension Pros and Cons

Knowing the tape extensions pros and cons upfront helps you decide if they're the right fit for your lifestyle.

The Pros

  • Quick to fit - a full head takes under two hours
  • Flat, lightweight wefts that sit comfortably all day
  • Completely reusable - just replace the adhesive tabs at each refit
  • Work with fine, average, and thick hair types
  • Natural movement and a seamless, blended finish

The Cons

  • Best suited for hair-down styles and loose, low updos - not ideal for high ponytails or scraped-back looks. If you love snatched styles, nano bonds or micro rings are a better choice.
  • Need professional refitting every 6-8 weeks as your hair grows out
  • Chlorine and salt water can affect the adhesive, so swimming should be limited or hair covered
  • Lighter blonde shades may have a slightly shorter lifespan due to the extra processing involved
  • These are still among the best tape extensions on the market for a natural, low-maintenance transformation.

How Many Packs Do You Need?

The number of packs you'll need depends on your hair type, the look you're after, and which range you choose. Our Classic and Remy Royale packs have different weights, so it's worth knowing the difference.

Classic Tape-Ins: 100g per pack (40 wefts)

Remy Royale Tape-Ins: 50g per pack (20 wefts)

Quick Guide

For volume only (no added length): 1 Classic pack (100g) or 2 Remy Royale packs (100g).

For a full head transformation with full head extensions adding 2-3+ inches of length: 2 Classic packs (200g) or 3-4 Remy Royale packs (150-200g).

If your natural hair is shorter than shoulder length, you may need an extra pack for seamless blending. Your extensionist can advise on the exact amount during your consultation.

Tape-Ins vs Clip-Ins

Both are made from 100% Remy human hair, but they suit different lifestyles. Tape-ins are semi-permanent, professionally fitted, and last for months between refits. Clip in hair extensions are temporary, popped in and taken out the same day, and perfect if you prefer flexibility.

If you want a lasting transformation with zero daily effort, tape-ins are the way to go. Prefer to switch things up for events or weekends? Full head clip in hair extensions give you that freedom. For textured hair, our curly clip in hair extensions are a brilliant alternative, and a clip in fringe is ideal for experimenting without the commitment.

Caring for Your Tape Extensions

Looking after your tape-ins properly is the key to making them last. With the right hair extension care routine, Classic tapes last 3-6 months and Remy Royale tapes 6-12 months.

Washing

Sulphate-free shampoo recommended for washing tape in hair extensions

Use a sulphate-free shampoo and alcohol-free conditioner. Sulphates dry out the hair and can loosen the bond over time. Wash gently and avoid rubbing directly on the adhesive tabs.

Brushing

Brush a few times a day with an extension-friendly brush like our detangling brush. Avoid brushes with bobbles, as these can catch on the wefts and cause shedding.

Tape Extension Maintenance

Your extensionist will refit your tape-ins every 6-8 weeks using fresh adhesive tabs. Between appointments, it's normal for a couple of wefts to loosen slightly, so just book in if anything feels off. For more detailed care tips, read our full care guide.

FAQ's

How long do tape in hair extensions last?

Tape-ins need refitting every 6-8 weeks as your natural hair grows out. At each appointment, your extensionist removes the old adhesive and reapplies fresh tabs. The overall lifespan depends on which range you choose: Classic tape-ins last around 3-6 months, while Remy Royale extensions last 6-12 months with proper care. Using the right products and brushing gently will help you get the most out of them.

Can I fit tape in hair extensions at home?

We always recommend having your tape-ins fitted and removed by a qualified hair extensionist. Professional fitting ensures the wefts are placed correctly, sit flat against the scalp, and blend naturally with your own hair. It also protects your natural hair from damage. Your extensionist will advise on placement, quantity, and ongoing maintenance to keep everything looking its best.

How many packs of tape extensions do I need for a full head?

It depends on the look you're after and which range you choose. Classic packs contain 40 wefts (100g), while Remy Royale packs contain 20 wefts (50g), so Remy Royale buyers typically need more packs to achieve the same coverage.

For volume only, 100g is usually enough (1 Classic pack or 2 Remy Royale packs). For a full head transformation adding 2-3+ inches of length, aim for 200g (2 Classic packs or 3-4 Remy Royale packs).

Can I swim or work out with tape in hair extensions?

Tape-ins can handle most day-to-day activities, including exercise, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind. Chlorine and salt water can affect the adhesive and hair quality, so we'd recommend covering your hair or rinsing with fresh water straight after. Working out is absolutely fine - just tie your hair in a loose, low ponytail rather than a tight, high one, as pulling can put strain on the bonds. A quick brush-through afterwards helps prevent any tangles building up.

What's the best way to care for tape in extensions?

Keep it simple: wash with a sulphate-free, alcohol-free shampoo and conditioner, and brush gently a few times a day with an extension-friendly brush. Avoid applying conditioner or oils directly onto the adhesive tabs, as this can cause slipping. Between your 6-8 week refit appointments, a little daily care goes a long way toward keeping your tape-ins looking and feeling their best.
