If you’re new to this hair extension type, we’ve got all of the information you need to get started. From what weft tape in extensions are to which tape in weft rolls are the best, we cover it all. Keep reading for all the details!
What Are Weft Tape In Hair Extensions?
Before we get into what tape weft rolls are, let’s talk about weft tape in hair extensions! Not to be confused with standard tape in extensions, tape weft extensions are similar, but with wider wefts and a different tape method.
Instead of using small tape tabs for application, tape wefts use longer strips or rolls for application and reapplication. This is because traditional tape in extensions come in multiple small wefts (30 to 40 wefts/tabs for application), while weft tape in hair extensions have one wider weft per row (with people using 1 to 2 rows for a full head).
Generally, you’ll see weft extensions applied in the beaded weft or sew in application method, but with tape wefts, you’re getting the fullness of weft extensions with the convenience of the tape in application method. Next, we’ll explain what tape weft rolls are and the two types to use for application and reapplication.
What Are Tape Weft Rolls?
Tape weft rolls are long adhesive rolls designed for tape weft hair extensions. Since every extension brand has slightly different weft measurements, tape rolls let you cut the exact length you need, giving you a perfect custom fit for any brand. This makes them especially convenient for stylists who work with multiple extension lines and need flexible, ready-to-cut adhesive.
Single-Sided Tape Roll (Application and Reapplication)
The single-sided tape roll is what you use for both applying and reapplying tape wefts. Tape wefts are always closed with single-sided tape, which gives them a smooth and secure finish. During reapplication, you simply use it again to seal the double-sided adhesive on the weft.
Double-Sided Tape Roll (Reapplication Only)
The double-sided tape roll is used only during reapplication. After removing the old adhesive, this tape creates a fresh bonding surface on the back of the weft. Once that’s in place, the weft is closed again using single-sided tape.
