Hello Magazine - Tape in hair extensions

It was so great to appear in Hello Magazine recently. I loved being their “expert”.  I would like to thank Aisle 8 and Charlotte Lake from hello! Magazine for taking the time to speak to me about my favourite thing in the world…. tape in hair extensions!  I have been doing hair extensions for more than 10 years and have had the pleasure of applying extensions to many beautiful celebrities including the likes of super model Yasmin le Bon and singer  Ellie Goulding.

Tape in hair extensions are slowly but surely revolutionising the hair extension industry. They are so quick to apply and look unbelievably natural.

About Tape Extenions by Louise Bailey

Every week I get emails from all over the world customers saying they are coming to London or they are already living in the U.K,  asking me if I can move up their Tape hair extensions that have been applied at another salon. The reason I refuse to do this is for these simple facts please see below.
There  is 5 main elements to applying tape hair extensions safely and correctly

1. The hair quality

If a cheap or inferior grade of tape hair extensions has been applied to the hair I would never want to put my name to a quality of hair that will not behave properly once applied to the head as this would reflect as bad work to my name.

Caring for your human hair

Whether you are buying a new one, or reusing an old hair, regular care will ensure your extensions last long and look healthy. 

Separate your hair from the extension bonds daily. This should be the most important part of your routine. Once a day, separate each extension bond with your fingers to ensure they are sitting properly. This routine will prevent your bonds from tangling at the roots and make it easy to remove when you are ready to.  Separating your bonds everyday will prevent damage to your natural hair and prevent tangling. Even if do any other routine, this one routine is enough. 

Brush your extensions with care. Whenever you find yourself about to brush your extensions, do it gently. Take your time to remove the tangles patiently without stressing both your hair and the extensions by tugging. Ensure you always have a spare hair extension brush so you are not tempted to use just any brush. Use human hair friendly hair bands from hair extensions London to protect your hair from pulling. 

Never sleep with wet hair. Wet hair promotes tangling and matting so avoid sleeping with your hair wet or damp. Remember how difficult it will be when brushing your hair in the morning whenever you are tempted to crash with wet/damp hair. Leave enough time for drying whenever you decide to wash your hair. Protect the bonds and your hair cuticles by avoiding sleep ins with wet hair at all times.

Protect your extensions before going to bed. There are many ways to secure your hair extensions at night. You can either braid neatly to keep your extensions out of the way for long extensions. Secure in a ponytail for medium length extensions and also fold the ponytail into itself. A snag free hair bobble is also a pretty cool way to secure your hair. Use a satin pillow and scarf will also prevent matting and tangling.

Keep an appointment with your hairdresser. Keep an up to date maintenance with hair extensions London every 4-6 weeks to keep your hair looking healthy and stylish. A regular appointment with your hairdresser will keep your hair looking 100% on fleek.
