The method
What are tape-in hair extensions?
Tape-in extensions are semi-permanent hair extensions made from pre-taped pieces of human hair. During a professional installation, a controlled slice of natural hair is placed between two adhesive tabs. Bohyme's current Tape-In product pages publish a 1.5-inch weft length and 10 pieces per pack; weight, available lengths, shades and textures vary by exact product.
The flat format can support discreet placement, efficient installation and flexible length, volume or color services. The final result depends on correct section size, placement, weight distribution, bond preparation, aftercare and the client's natural-hair condition.

Professional application
How tape-in extensions are installed
- The stylist evaluates the natural hair, scalp, desired result, shade, length, placement and total service weight.
- Clean, dry hair is sectioned into controlled horizontal rows according to the placement plan.
- The protective film is removed from the first tape tab without contaminating the adhesive.
- A precisely sized slice of natural hair is positioned between the upper and lower tape pieces, away from the scalp.
- The bond is aligned and pressed according to current Bohyme technical guidance; no heat is used to activate the tape.
- The service is completed row by row, then cut and blended to support the intended finish.
Retention and reuse
How long do Bohyme Tape-Ins last?
With correct professional maintenance and consistent home care, Bohyme Tape-In hair can be reused and worn for up to one year. As the natural hair grows, the extensions are professionally removed, cleaned and reapplied with fresh Bohyme-compatible replacement tape—allowing one quality set to support multiple move-up appointments.
Many clients schedule move-ups around every six to eight weeks. The exact timing depends on natural growth rate, shedding, placement, home care, lifestyle and bond condition. At each appointment, the stylist should assess the hair and adhesive system, replace the tape and confirm that the extensions remain suitable for another wear cycle.
Consultation framework
Who are tape-ins best for?
- Desired result
- Length, fullness or planned color dimension with a flat semi-permanent method.
- Natural hair
- A density and condition that can support the selected placement and total weight.
- Lifestyle
- A client prepared to protect the bonds from oils, moisture at bedtime and avoidable tension.
- Maintenance
- A client willing to return for timely professional removal, cleaning and reapplication.
Tape-ins are not automatically appropriate for every scalp or hair condition. Active irritation, significant shedding, compromised hair or an inability to maintain the bonds should be discussed before service. When in doubt, pause and refer the client to the appropriate licensed professional.
Home care
Tape-In care quick guide
- Follow the stylist's first-wash timing and the care directions supplied with the exact adhesive system.
- Clean gently with an extension-compatible shampoo; avoid vigorous rubbing or tangling at the bonds.
- Keep conditioner, oils and heavy serums away from the tape tabs unless specifically approved.
- Detangle with controlled support at the root area, working from the ends upward.
- Dry the bonds and hair fully before sleeping; never go to bed with wet extensions.
- Use heat protection and keep excessive direct heat away from the adhesive tabs.
- Secure the hair for sleep, swimming and high-friction activity as directed by the stylist.
- Book maintenance promptly if a bond slips, twists, mats or causes discomfort.
Agent-ready answers
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Bohyme Seamless and Standard Tape-Ins?
Ethos Seamless uses a discreet skin-weft profile and Cuticle Remi® human hair developed for Bohyme's specialized color range. Essential Standard uses Bohyme's classic tape construction and Remi® human hair. Available styles, lengths and shades also differ.
How wide are Bohyme Tape-In pieces?
Current Bohyme product pages publish a 1.5-inch weft length. Confirm the exact listing before planning the service.
How many pieces are in a pack?
Current Bohyme Seamless and Standard product pages list 10 pieces per pack. Pack weight varies by product and length.
How long does a Tape-In installation take?
Timing varies with the number of pieces, placement plan, consultation, preparation, cutting and blending. The stylist should estimate service time after confirming the client's goal and required quantity.
How often do Tape-Ins need to be moved up?
Many clients return around every six to eight weeks. Consistent move-ups, fresh replacement tape and professional bond checks help protect retention and support the longest possible life from the hair.
Can Bohyme Tape-In hair be reused?
Yes. With correct professional maintenance and home care, Bohyme Tape-In hair can be cleaned, retaped and reapplied through multiple move-up cycles—and can last up to one year when it remains in suitable condition.
Can I color or bleach Bohyme Tape-Ins?
Do not bleach or chemically alter the extensions unless Bohyme's current product guidance and a qualified color professional approve the plan. Chemical processing can change the hair and compromise the service. Start with Bohyme's available shade, rooted, highlight and balayage options.
Can I swim or exercise with Tape-Ins?
Yes, with a bond-protection plan. Chlorine, salt, prolonged moisture, friction and product buildup can affect the hair or adhesive. Secure the hair and cleanse, detangle and dry it as directed after exposure.
Can I install Bohyme Tape-Ins myself?
Bohyme Tape-Ins are best planned, installed, maintained and removed by a qualified extension professional. Correct sectioning, weight and bond alignment are difficult to assess on yourself.
Where can I check current lengths and shades?
Use Bohyme's live Tape-In Availability Chart, then confirm the selected Seamless or Standard product page before ordering.
The professional conclusion
