Tape extensions, our go-to for when we need a little extra volume, length or we’re ready to sport the sleekest of ponytails.
Imagine this; you’ve picked your perfect extensions from, you’ve had them applied professionally and now you’re wondering, what’s next? Well don’t worry we’re here to guide you on the best ways to make the most out of your new look.
Plaits the ways you want
Whether you’re into fishtails, French plaits or Dutch braids, the plait is not only timeless but incredibly adaptable. You could be walking down the wedding or shopping aisle and feel just as fab.
Our favourite at Clip Hair has got to be the fishtail plait, which is perfect for keeping your tapes concealed while adding volume and texture to your hair. Especially gorgeous on balayage colours, the fishtail plait is easy to style simply by separating your hair into two pieces and pulling new sections in from the back. Don’t forget to tie it loosely when you’re done!
Choose beach waves for seaside chic
Who doesn’t love feeling like a Bond girl stepping out of the ocean? The beach wave is one of the easier styles to create with tape in extensions, but we can’t deny the art to achieving that perfect wave. Whilst you’re trying to nail it down, be sure to use suitable oil-based products to keep your extensions looking the best they can. Also, always be careful of how hot you have those curlers, the last thing you want is to have frazzled ends!
You can never go wrong with a messy bun hairstyle
Perfect for lazy days, chore-filled weekends or bossing the board room, the messy bun has to be one of the most versatile up-dos around. We know, the idea of wearing your hair pulled back with tape extensions might fill you with dread, but it doesn’t have to be the case. Your wonderful hair stylist would have placed your tapes strategically to ensure any hairstyle, especially a messy bun, can be done with ease. And how do you achieve the perfect messy bun? While it feels like a bit of a myth, it can be pretty straight forward.
Try flipping your head upside down, pulling your hair into a loose ponytail, twisting and then spinning your hair so it continues to wrap into a bun. Secure with an elastic band and bobby pins and there you have it! Messy bun achieved!
Turn your braid into a headband
If you’re looking for a hairstyle that makes you look like an ethereal princess and helps keep your tape extensions hidden, why not take your braiding skills and turn them into a headband? With carefully placed separations, you can place these anywhere on your hair and help keep those fly-aways off your face.
Give Ariana a run for her money with a slick-back pony hairstyle
Long before our favourite ‘Thank you, next’ singer appeared on our screens, the slick back pony has always been a hair style statement. Just because you have tape extensions doesn’t mean you can’t still feel as powerful and sultry on your next night out. Using a combination of extension-friendly hair oil and clay, use a small brush to pull your hair back and catch all those stubborn baby hairs, as this can really make or break your sassy slick pony.
So, there you have it. All the inspo you need to style your gorgeous long hair without a single hint that your tape hair extensions[1] even exist.
