Choosing a hairstyle is not always easy, unless one has the ability to style and color hair as often as they please. Even if one is a trained professional, there are times when a dream style does not work with a facial structure or it just will not come together as desired. The good news is that hair weaves, particularly tape in extensions, have come a long way and people cannot get enough.

While there have been many ways to add hair over the past few decades, this method brings together the best of both worlds. The old method consisted of braiding hair to the scalp and sewing before adding the hair. This took a long time, could be painful and was expensive. This new way allows the average wearer to enjoy their new hair in a matter of minutes.

There are numerous styles that allow the wearer to go from curly to straight, or vice versa without the use of chemicals. Anyone who has had their hair colored knows there are not only risks but even a professional may find it hard to get it right. Those who have dense hair types can try the new pastel colors without having to endure bleaching or sitting under a dryer for a long time.

The innovative tape method also allow for easy removal. While it may be best to have a professional remove from each section, there are products that help the wearer complete the process in little time. If the person needs to have another application, this method takes the least amount of time and brings long term results.

Many people who are in front of the cameras like this method because of the maintenance and natural flow of the hair. These styles also protect their natural strands from extreme conditions that come with traveling or being on a stage. For those who have active lives, this is a better choice than a wig, which can get hot and sometimes does not look natural.

When the wearer gets a new weave, they tend to get very excited and forget that there are two sets of tresses to care for. Shampoos and conditioners should clean and hydrate the hair without leaving it oily. If the wearer has dry hair, they should consult an expert about how to maintain it between applications.

Another advantage to wearing weaves is that people can grow their short hair long with just a little care. The best method may be to use a leave in conditioner after every shampoo, followed by a light moisturizer on the scalp. If this is a hair goal, one should consult an expert on how to transition without drying the hair or causing breakage.

More people are jumping on this new method for many reasons. Unlike the old technique, the added hair lays flat and is hard to detect. Beside that lack of discomfort, these tend to cost less than the other labor intensive method. This is better than using bonding glue alone because the look can retain its style for many weeks before another application is needed.
