Tape-in extensions have become one of the most popular professional extension methods in the world — and for good reason. They're flat, fast to install, comfortable to wear, and virtually undetectable when applied correctly. Bohyme offers multiple tape-in formats, from the industry-standard to our ultra-thin Seamless innovation. Here's everything you need to know.
What Are Tape-In Hair Extensions?
Tape-in extensions consist of pre-taped wefts of 100% Remi® human hair, typically measuring about 1.5 inches wide. Each weft is sandwiched against a thin section of your natural hair using medical-grade adhesive — no heat, no glue guns, no damage to the hair shaft. The result lies completely flat against the scalp and is invisible under your natural hair.
Installation takes 1–2 hours for a full head, making tape-ins one of the fastest professional methods available. They can be washed, heat-styled, and worn exactly like your natural hair.
Bohyme Tape-In Options: Seamless vs. Standard
Bohyme Ethos Seamless Tape-In Injections
The most advanced tape-in in Bohyme's lineup. These feature an ultra-thin skin weft base — far thinner than traditional wefts — that creates a truly invisible result even in fine hair. The Ethos Seamless Tape-Ins are processed through Bohyme's exclusive 40-day extended color bath, resulting in 43 unique ashy and platinum tones designed based on feedback from professional stylists globally.
- Thinnest, most invisible tape-in available
- Zero weft bulk — lays like a second skin
- Pairs with Bohyme Adhesive Release for safe, clean removal
- Available in Luxe and Ethos collections
Bohyme Standard Tape-Ins
Bohyme's classic tape-in weft, built on 100% Remi® human hair processed to Bohyme's quality standards. The Standard Tape-In is ideal for clients with medium to thick natural hair where ultimate thinness is less critical. Available in a wide range of colors and textures including Straight and Wavy styles.
How Are Tape-In Extensions Installed?
- A trained stylist sections the hair into horizontal rows working from the nape upward
- A thin slice of natural hair (approximately 1/8" thick) is sandwiched between two tape wefts
- Light pressure is applied to bond the adhesive — no heat required
- The process is repeated row by row until the desired coverage is achieved
- Extensions are trimmed and blended into the natural hair to finish
Total install time: approximately 1–2 hours. No down time. Clients leave the same day.
How Long Do Tape-In Extensions Last?
Tape-in extensions need a professional move-up appointment every 6–8 weeks as your natural hair grows. With re-taping using fresh adhesive, the same hair can be worn for 3–6 months total. Bohyme tape-in hair is built to withstand multiple re-application cycles, which means a single purchase goes further than you might expect.

TAPE-IN CARE RULE #1 Never apply oil-based products near the tape bonds. Oil breaks down adhesive and causes premature slippage. Keep conditioner, serums, and oils from mid-length to ends only. |
Who Are Tape-Ins Best For?
- Clients with fine to medium hair who want invisible, flat extensions
- Those who want professional-quality results without a long install commitment
- Clients new to permanent extensions — tape-ins are one of the most beginner-friendly methods
- Anyone who wants to add length, volume, or color dimension without commitment to a longer-term method
Tape-In Care Quick Guide
- Shampoo every 2–3 days with sulfate-free formula — Bohyme Rejuvenating Shampoo recommended
- Conditioner from mid-length to ends only — never near the tape bonds
- Blow dry and brush before bed — never sleep with wet tape-in extensions
- Use Bohyme Leave-In Reconstructor daily for hydration and detangling
- Schedule your move-up every 6–8 weeks — do not skip
Can I color Bohyme tape-in extensions?
Bohyme does not recommend coloring, toning, or bleaching tape-in extensions, as chemical processing can compromise the adhesive and damage the hair. Bohyme offers one of the widest color ranges in the industry — including rooted, ombre, and balayage options — to eliminate the need for coloring. Browse the Bohyme Color Chart to find your match.
Can I swim or exercise with tape-ins?
Yes, but with care. Chlorine and salt water can weaken adhesive bonds over time. Wear hair up or use a swim cap, and wash and dry thoroughly after water exposure. Sweat during exercise is generally fine — just ensure hair is dried properly before sleeping.
