Tape-in extensions are one of the best methods for boosting your natural locks! You can add length, volume, and style. This method is trendy because it is not complicated, even by yourself! In addition to that, it produces great results even for girls with very thin and low-density strands. As with all extensions, we want them to look as natural and realistic as possible. Nobody wants to be in a situation where they\u2019re out and about or on a hot date, only for their extensions to start poking out and revealing all the secret hair tricks!<\/p>\n

Girls have hundreds of little tricks to look more attractive and glamorous. However, we don\u2019t want to reveal that to just anyone and ruin the magic. And having your extensions stick out is not a good look and should not happen, even to beginners. They don\u2019t even need to be shown to look bad. More often than not, girls don\u2019t know how to properly install the tapes<\/strong><\/a>, make them look natural or style them properly.<\/p>\n

All these steps are a big part of wearing extensions. What\u2019s the point of getting them if your locks look wholly fake and wig-like? The purpose of extensions is to blend perfectly with your natural strands and enhance them. In other words, it must look like your hair. <\/p>\n

So, are you wondering how to hide tape-in hair extensions and make them look as natural as possible? Worry no more; just learn these simple tricks to achieve immaculate-looking locks.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Correct Tape-in Placement<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

The first step to natural looking tape-ins<\/strong><\/a> is the proper installation and placement. To completely hide them, you need to know where to place them.<\/p>\n

Going to a salon and having it done by a professional can solve this problem, but that\u2019s a much more expensive option. So, why not learn how to do it yourself?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Stick Tapes to Your Scalp<\/h3>\n

The first trick is not taping the extensions too close to your scalp. Not only can it prevent your real strands from growing freely, but it also limits the movement of your tresses. Placing the tapes about an inch from your scalp allows your natural strands to breathe and move the hair more naturally.<\/p>\n

So, when you flip or play with your hair, everything will look as it should. Windy weather can also be tricky. Therefore, if your hair looks rigid and like a big hairy helmet, people will notice something is wrong. <\/p>\n

Learn the Brick Laying Pattern<\/h3>\n

Another important aspect is getting the bricklaying pattern right. You should follow that pattern when taping your extensions. It ensures the invisibility of the tapes. Also, when taping, do not go too high up.<\/p>\n

The closer the tapes are to the top of your strands or hairline, the more likely the tapes will not be hidden well. This is another thing that obstructs the natural movement of your locks. You want the top of your hair to be free to move naturally while the extensions are mostly on the bottom part, which is usually motionless. If the placement is done correctly, the tapes can be hidden even in the cases of very low-density hair. <\/p>\n

Applying the right number of tapes is also crucial to be able to hide them well. If you have thick and dense hair, you won\u2019t need a lot of tape. You can place most of them on the bottom, where they won\u2019t be visible at all. If you have thinner locks, you will need more tapes to get volume, but that also means hiding them will be a bit trickier. Again, placement plays an important role here. <\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Proper Styling Your Hair Extensions<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"Proper<\/p>\n

If the placement of the tapes is correct, yet you still want to be 100% sure that they won\u2019t be visible, there are some styling tricks you can try.<\/p>\n

Try Hair Curls<\/h3>\n

One of the easiest and most basic ways to ensure the tapes are concealed is to curl your locks slightly. Making a gorgeous wave can help you hide the tapes and giveyou a lot more volume. The results can be amazing if you\u2019re strategic in how you curl your strands! Also, curls are great because they connect and blend extensions with your natural locks. Yes, even more, so that it won\u2019t be noticeable where one begins and the other ends. But, of course, be careful when using hot tools on your extensions. You shouldn\u2019t apply too much heat, and you must apply a heat protectant. <\/p>\n

Teasing Tape-in Layers<\/h3>\n

Another cool trick that completely hides your tapes is teasing your strands strategically. Find layers of your real hair between the tape rows and tease them slightly. You don\u2019t want to overdo it because your hair will have weird bulges. If done right, the teased layers of hair will have the role of a wall that you cannot see through. That\u2019s how your tapes will be completely covered up. Of course, do not tease the top layer of your strands; this section should always have as much movement as possible. <\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Hairstyles that Cover Up Tape-in Hair Extensions<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"Hairstyles<\/p>\n

Is there another trick for making sure that the tapes are wholly concealed? That\u2019s if you are not doing weave extensions<\/strong><\/a>, of course. Yes, you can make a ponytail, a braid, or a half up \u2013 half down hairstyle. All of those are great because they can completely hide the extensions, and there\u2019s no way of them poking out. With all these hairstyles, you can control where each strand goes and make it in a way that looks purely natural. Lastly, they look very trendy and cool.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

Suddenly, having a lot of hair can be a bit overwhelming at the beginning of wearing extensions. However, braids and ponytails make it easier to manage all those strands and prevent them from getting in the way. If you need more advice on how to hide tape-in hair extensions, consult with your hair professional.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s pretty much it. There are no other secrets. Now, enjoy a worry-free life with extensions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
