The Best Tape-In Hair Extensions That Won't Damage Your Own Hair

The adhesive on these is a unique polyurethane tape that was developed and tested over three years—meant to deliver both secure applications, easy removal, and comfortable wear the entire time. The end result? Six to nine weeks of wear for each application, but up to a year lifespan for each piece, perfect when you want to reuse your extensions. 

Each one also has double-sided tape so that you can sandwich the natural hair in between each weft—there’s also a single-sided tape option for finer hair. Not to mention that there are varying lengths and plenty of colors to choose from, too.

There’s no beating around the bush—good quality hair extensions definitely skew towards the pricier side. Rather than buying a whole pack, these are sold in single pieces (available in 14, 16, and 22-inch lengths) and 11 different colors, ideal for when you don’t necessarily need or want a full head of extensions. Happy reviewers rave about the great quality and how well they last, as well as the colors, and of course, budget-friendly price tag. 

This affordable option offers plenty of versatility; it can be used with any hair extension application, including tape, weaving, or clip-ins, making these a great pick for anyone who likes to change up how they use their extensions.

Available in a few shades, each one is perfectly multi-dimensional to blend well with a variety of natural hair colors. And with a higher percentage of strands than may other 18-inch extension options, you also get uniform thickness and volume from top to bottom.

Made of 100% human Remy hair, these are a top pick when you want to find a specific color. There are over 50 different shades available, helpfully categorized by balayage, black, bright blonde, highlights, brown, ombré, reds, and rooted colors. They also come in lengths ranging from 14 to 22 inches, so there’s no shortage of options to customize the exact look you’re going for. And if that’s still not doing it for you, you can also color them, though keep in mind that you can’t lift (AKA lighten) the color.
