Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Tape In Installation.

A full Tape In Installation at Adel braids includes wash, treatment, and installation of forty pieces plus styling. Expect the appointment to last about two to three hours depending on hair density and desired styling.

When applied by a professional, tape-ins cause minimal damage. We use gentle techniques, proper spacing, and a nourishing treatment to protect your hair. Regular maintenance and professional removal prevent breakage and keep hair healthy.

With correct care, forty tape-in pieces typically last six to eight weeks before repositioning is needed. Lifespan varies with hair growth, product use, and placement; we recommend scheduled check-ins for optimal wear.

We recommend waiting 48 hours after installation before washing to allow adhesives to set. Use sulfate-free shampoo, avoid excessive rubbing at the tape bonds, and your stylist will show gentle styling techniques to protect attachment points.

Adel braids can supply high-quality tape-ins or work with extensions you bring if pre-approved. We advise a consultation to confirm color match, tape type, and hair compatibility before installation.

Brush gently, sleep on a silk pillowcase, and limit washing to two or three times weekly with sulfate-free products. Avoid oil-based treatments near tapes and book re-tightening appointments every six to eight weeks.
