Let’s start with a little story, shall we? You’ve been scrolling Pinterest, swooning over lush, effortless locks, envisioning yourself in all your crowning glory. Reality check: your hair feels, well, less “Red Carpet Glam” and more “Ran Out of Dry Shampoo.” Introducing the definitive transformer: wide tape hair extensions from KmXtend! These beauties are the ultimate secret weapon for fullness and length, and applying them? Surprisingly simple. Stick with me, and by the end of this, you'll know how to apply them like a pro—without feeling like you need a YouTube tutorial open in another tab.
What Are Wide Tape Hair Extensions Anyway?
Imagine a miracle strip for your hair. Wide tape hair extensions are 15-inch wefts of high-quality hair with adhesive tape that blends seamlessly into your natural mane. They’re perfect if you’re after fuller, thicker hair with fewer application points (a blessing for your schedule, trust me).
KmXtend’s wide tape extensions offer versatility, comfort, and a look so natural your friends might just think you've been hoarding a new hair-growth secret.
Why Wide Tape Extensions Are the Hair Hack You’ve Been Waiting For
Before diving into the “how,” let’s chat about the “why.” Wide tape extensions allow for fewer sandwich placements, cutting your application time dramatically. Plus, they’re discreet, durable, and perfect for everything from coffee runs to your best friend’s wedding.
And hey, they’re reusable—because nothing’s more satisfying than getting a gorgeous look that doesn’t empty your beauty budget.
Method 1: Wrapping the Weft Around Like a Hug
Let’s call this method the bear hug. Think of it as the simplest, most full-coverage technique for wide tape extensions.
-
Prep Your Hair
Start with squeaky clean, completely dry hair. Why? Oil and dirt are like kryptonite to adhesive tape. Divide your hair horizontally, clipping up the top section. -
Apply the Base Weft
Take your 15-inch weft and measure it around the circumference of your head, where you would place a genius or hand tied weft. Press the adhesive side of the tape gently against your natural hair. It’s like sticking your best friend to your life—but less emotional and more fabulous. -
Secure with a Second Weft
Grab another wide tape weft to sandwich the natural hair section in between, securing it in place. This creates a solid foundation for the extensions to hold while keeping the look natural and flowing. -
Smooth It Out
Comb your hair lightly to blend the weft seamlessly into your locks. Voilà! You're already turning heads.
Method 2: The Single-Sided Tape Trick
This one’s for those who want less volume near the scalp.
-
Section Smartly
Separate your hair as you did for the bear hug method. Ensure you’re applying tape below the ears, where your extensions will sit naturally. -
Cut It or Use It As-Is
Here’s where creativity comes into play: either keep the wide weft whole or trim it into smaller sections. Gently press one side of the weft with adhesive tape, leaving the other adhesive side exposed. -
Add a Single-Sided Tape Strip
Seal the adhesive area with a piece of single-sided tape (pro tip: KmXtend makes theirs with salon-quality strength). This method keeps things lightweight without compromising the natural flow of your hair.
Method 3: Trim, Sandwich, and Slay
Feel like channeling your inner DIY diva? Grab those scissors.
-
Divide and Conquer
Take your 15-inch wide tape weft and cut it into four equal sections. (Relax—this isn’t a high school crafting project, and there’s no wrong way to trim here.) -
Sandwich Away
Lay a trimmed weft piece under a thin section of natural hair, sticky side up. Add a second trimmed piece on top, sandwiching your natural hair in between the adhesive sides. -
Placement Matters
Focus on horizontal rows and even spacing to avoid extensions poking out where they don’t belong. Nobody needs that kind of attention.
Expert Tips for Flawless Application
- Detangle First: Use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle before application.
- Keep It Clean: No conditioners or styling products near the tape—save those for post-installation touch-ups.
- Press & Hold: Give each weft a few seconds of firm pressure to ensure maximum adhesion.
- Practice Patience: Avoid washing your hair for 48 hours post-application. Think of it as your extensions’ honeymoon period.
