Brown Tapes

Bombay Hair tape-in extensions, when applied by a professional, will typically last between 2 to 3 months. The extensions themselves, with proper care, professional removal, and reinstallation, can last up to a full year. However, it’s important to treat them with care and avoid excessive heat, dyeing, or altering them in any way (just like your own natural hair). The longevity of the extensions is directly related to how well you care for them. Since our extensions are made from 100% human hair, we highly recommend treating them just like your own hair. Be gentle when brushing and store your extensions properly to avoid damage. Regular deep conditioning, along side treatments with nourishing oils like Argan or Almond Oil, can help maintain their vibrant and healthy look, extending their lifespan even further.

No, tape-in hair extensions are designed to be safe and gentle on your natural hair. The adhesive used is not harmful and is applied in a way that avoids damaging your natural strands. The extensions bond securely to your hair, but they can be easily removed by a professional stylist when the time comes. We offer a gentle bond remover to help with the process. Just as with your natural hair, it's important to use proper care to ensure the health of both your extensions and your natural hair. We always recommend using heat protectant sprays, hair oils, and other products to maintain the integrity of both your extensions and natural hair while styling.

You can reuse your tape-in extensions as many times as you like! The beauty of tape-in extensions is that, with proper maintenance and reapplication, they can be reused multiple times without causing any damage to your natural hair. After the first installation, you can visit your stylist to have the extensions removed and reinstalled. The adhesive tape used can be replaced with fresh tape during reinstallation, allowing the extensions to last for several cycles. This makes tape-in extensions a cost-effective option for those who want long-lasting, beautiful hair without needing to replace the extensions frequently.

Yes, you can wash your tape-in extensions, but it's important to take a few precautions. To ensure that the adhesive remains strong and the extensions stay in place, it's recommended to limit washing your hair to 2-3 times per week. When washing, be cautious not to apply conditioner directly to the adhesive bonds as this can cause the tape to loosen and shorten the lifespan of your extensions. To maintain the health of both your natural hair and extensions, always use a sulfate-free shampoo that is gentle on your hair. A mild and nourishing formula will help keep your extensions looking their best while ensuring they stay securely attached to your natural hair.

Yes, you can shower with tape-in extensions, but it's important to wait at least 48 hours after the application before exposing your hair to water. This allows the adhesive to fully set, ensuring the extensions stay in place. If you need to shower before the 48-hour mark, we recommend wearing a shower cap to protect your extensions and keep the adhesive from getting wet. Once the adhesive has properly set, you can shower as usual, but it’s still best to be gentle with your hair. Additionally, regular deep conditioning treatments once a week are a great way to keep your extensions in top condition and prevent dryness or frizz.

You can dry your tape-in extensions, but it's essential to avoid applying heat directly to the adhesive bonds. The best way to dry your hair is by allowing it to air dry completely or letting it air dry for a few minutes before gently using a blow-dryer on a cool or medium heat setting. If you do decide to use a blow-dryer, be sure to keep it at a distance from the tape bonds to avoid causing any damage. Direct heat on the adhesive could weaken the bond and shorten the lifespan of your extensions. For the healthiest results, air drying is always the gentlest option for both your natural hair and the extensions.

Choosing the right colour for your extensions is easier than you might think! When browsing online, be sure to brighten your screen to get a true representation of the colours. It’s also important to make sure you’re not using any blue filter or night mode, which can alter how colours appear on screen. We do our best to show the most accurate representation of our extensions online, but if you're still unsure, you can reach out to us for help. If you're unable to find the perfect shade, simply send us a photo of your hair, and we will assist you with colour matching. Our expert team is more than happy to ensure you choose the right extension colour to blend seamlessly with your natural hair.

While it's always recommended to have your tape-in extensions installed and removed by a professional stylist, we understand that some people prefer to do it at home. If you decide to remove your extensions yourself, we recommend using the Bombay Hair Bond Remover, which is specifically designed for professional use. Apply the bond remover to the adhesive and allow it to sit for a few minutes so that it can fully absorb. Once the remover has done its job, gently separate the tape from your natural hair and carefully pull the extensions off. Be gentle during the removal process to prevent any damage to your natural hair. After removing the extensions, simply wash and condition your hair as usual to restore it to its normal state.
