Investing in hair extensions is an excellent way to make your hair look longer and more voluminous. Plus, there are so many different types of hair extensions available — even to the point where it could be hard to choose which one would be the best choice for you. Some various forms of extensions include clip-ins, microlink extensions, hair pieces, and tape-ins (via Luxy Hair).

So, what exactly are tape-in hair extensions, and how do they work? According to Elle, these extensions come in sections between one and one-and-a-half inches, and a hairdresser has to apply these extensions to your hair, as they feature a medical-grade glue, but no tools and chemicals are used during the process. Are you considering making an appointment to get tape-in extensions? If you're on the fence about going to the hair salon to try these extensions, there are some details you should know before making the final decision.

One of the first details to find out before investing in any hair-related treatment is how long it will last. Tape-in extensions usually last between eight and 10 weeks, so you should be able to rock them for around two months before you need to get them removed (via Elle). Plus, once you get these tape-in extensions, you should wash your hair like you typically would. You won't have to worry about them getting messed up or ruined. It's crucial to keep them clean!

While most people will enjoy wearing these extensions because you can still wash your hair with them, and they'll last a couple of months, you shouldn't get them if your scalp is dryer than average because your hair could end up breaking from dehydration, per Elle.

Furthermore, we know that no one looks forward to sitting in the hair salon chair for endless hours. But luckily, one benefit of getting tape-in extensions is that the application shouldn't take any longer than two hours (via Bustle). And regarding price, they usually cost between $200 and $500, in addition to the application fee, which most likely will be at least another $200.
