Are you getting ready to apply hair extension tape ins? First, you’ll need to stock up on hair tape! As you start searching for supplies, you’ll come across two different options: hair extension tape roll and hair extension tape tabs. But which one do you need? At Big Kizzy, we have both options available for salon professionals and DIY extension gurus alike. Stick around to hear all about each and which one to use when!
Should I Use Hair Tape Tabs or a Hair Tape Roll?
Before figuring out which one you need, let’s review each one. Hair extension tape tabs are the adhesives you’ll see most often. They’re for the standard tape in hair extensions that come in multiple small wefts (30 to 40 wefts for application).
A hair extension tape roll is used for tape in weft extensions, which are longer wefts similar to wefts you would see for sew in or beaded application methods. While tape tabs for tape in extensions come in small peel-off sheets, tape rolls can be custom-cut to create a single long tape strip for application. Choose either hair extension adhesive option based on whether you’re using traditional tape ins or longer tape in wefts.
