Introducing the New Donna Bella Tape Weft Extension Method
At Donna Bella, we're constantly working to bring the best in 100% remy human hair extension innovation. That's why we're excited to introduce our newest professional extension method: the Tape Weft. This unique method blends the benefits of our Hybrid Weft and Tape-In extensions, offering a versatile and easy-to-use solution for both stylists and wearers.
Whether you're looking for something that installs quickly, lays flat, or offers durability and flexibility, the Tape Weft delivers on all fronts. Here's why we created it, how it works, and why we think you'll love it.
Why We Created the Tape Weft
At Donna Bella, we listen closely to the needs of our community. The Tape Weft was born from feedback requesting a method that combined the strengths of the Hybrid Weft and Tape-In extensions. The result? A seamless extension method that's fast, flexible, and durable while still delivering the full-bodied look that our wearers love.
Our goal with the Tape Weft was simple: make extensions easier to install without compromising on comfort or appearance. By blending these two fan-favorite techniques, we've created an extension that sits comfortably against the head, moves naturally, and can be reused multiple times.
Why You'll Love the Donna Bella Tape Weft
It's the Best of Both Worlds
The Tape Weft combines the strengths of the Tape-In and Hybrid Weft methods. It features a weft attached to the top of the tape that's flexible enough to be customized to any client's hair length or volume preferences. This blend ensures the natural movement and thickness of the Hybrid Weft with the quick, adhesive-based install of the Tape-In method.
It's Extra Durable
We know durability is vital when it comes to hair extensions. The Tape Weft is designed with a reinforced weft and zero-shedding technology, ensuring that it stays intact during wear and after several uses. Plus, our hypoallergenic adhesive formula keeps the weft in place without causing irritation to the scalp.
It Installs Quickly & Easily
For stylists, time is of the essence. That's why the Tape Weft is designed to be quick and straightforward to install, just like our Tape-In extensions. It can be applied using a sandwich technique or single-sided tape strips for clients with finer hair. This versatility makes the Tape Weft an efficient choice for professionals.
It's Ultra-Comfortable
We know how important comfort is when it comes to wearing hair extensions. The Tape Weft lies flat against the scalp, reducing bulk and ensuring a seamless blend with natural hair. This design makes it virtually undetectable while still providing all the volume and length you want.
It's Reusable and Cost-Effective
Our 100% remy human hair Tape Weft extensions can be reused up to three times, lasting between three and six months, depending on care. Proper maintenance can extend their lifespan up to a year, making them a smart and cost-effective choice for long-term wear.
How the Tape Weft Works: Step-by-Step Installation
Now that you know why we love the Tape Weft, let's break down how to install it. This method is quick, straightforward, and delivers professional results every time.
Step 1: Prep the Client
Start with clean, dry hair to ensure the adhesive sticks properly. Depending on the client's hair length and desired style, you may want to custom cut the Tape Weft. Part the hair in a slight U-shape to follow the natural curve of the head. Then, pin a two-inch wide section of hair 1/8" below your part to prepare for the first row of wefts.
Step 2: Begin Installation
Remove the adhesive backing from the Tape Weft, being careful to avoid touching the adhesive. Position the weft directly below the part and secure it with pins.
Step 3: Place the Bottom Row
Once the weft is pinned, bring down one of the two-inch sections of natural hair you previously pinned. Use a tail comb to evenly distribute the hair across the weft, and press down with the comb to secure the hair into the adhesive. Repeat this process across the entire weft for a secure bond.
Step 4: Secure the Top Row
Remove the adhesive backing from the top row of the weft and place it directly over the bottom row, making sure the top and bottom wefts are perfectly aligned. Press down to secure the bond and ensure the wefts are in place. With this alignment, you'll avoid premature slippage, giving your client a secure and long-lasting look.
