Are you struggling with thin or limp hair that refuses to grow? Tape-in hair extensions may be the perfect match for you.
At Haste Hair, we offer professional-grade tape-ins that blend naturally, feel weightless, and deliver salon-worthy volume without long-term damage.
Whether you’re looking for fuller locks or experimenting with a new style, our tape-in extensions provide a seamless, commitment-free solution for transforming your look.
Why Tape-In Hair Extensions Are Game-Changing
Tape-ins are among the most popular semi-permanent hair extension methods today. They consist of a thin strip (or “weft”) of 100% Remy human hair, pre-taped with medical-grade adhesive, designed to sandwich your natural strands.
They lie flat, feel lightweight, and are practically undetectable when applied correctly.
Best for: Fine, medium, or thick hair types
Avoid if: You have an excessively oily scalp or plan to wear your hair up daily.
Key Benefits
- Damage-free & lightweight
- Blend seamlessly with natural hair
- Quick to install (typically under 90 mins)
- Reusable for 6–12 months with proper care

How Tape-In Extensions Work
We attach each weft using sticky, double-sided tape designed to adhere near your roots. Our stylists use a “sandwich” method, placing your natural hair between two extension strips for a secure, long-lasting hold.
- Medical-grade adhesive is similar to what’s used in plasters
- Tapes can be removed and reused multiple times
- Different sizes of wefts allow us to create everything from volume boosts to subtle highlights

How Long Do Tape-In Extensions Last?
Tape-in extensions can last 6–8 weeks per install, depending on:
