Tape-in hair extensions are one of the most natural-looking, lightweight, and long-lasting ways to add volume and length. At BRUSH Amsterdam, we specialize in premium 100% Remy human hair tape-in extensions services, carefully selected for seamless blending, hair health, and long-term wear.
What Are Tape-In Hair Extensions?
Tape-in extensions are ultra-thin wefts with medical-grade adhesive that are applied by sandwiching a small section of your natural hair between two tapes. This creates a flat, invisible bond that moves naturally with your hair and feels comfortable on the scalp.
Why Choose Tape-In Extensions?
- Seamless blend: Ultra-flat and virtually invisible
- Lightweight: Ideal for fine to medium hair
- Reusable: Can be reapplied multiple times
- Low maintenance: Long-lasting with minimal upkeep
- Natural movement: Looks and feels like your own hair

Who Are Tape-In Extensions Best For?
Tape-ins are ideal if you want a semi-permanent solution that offers both volume and length while maintaining hair health. They are especially suitable for fine to medium hair types due to their lightweight structure.
How Are Tape-In Extensions Applied?
- Hair is prepped, cleaned, and fully dried
- Sections are carefully separated for precise placement
- Extensions are applied using a sandwich technique
- The hair is cut and blended for a seamless finish
The full application typically takes 60–90 minutes, depending on the desired volume.
How Long Do Tape-In Extensions Last?
Tape-in extensions are worn for 6 to 8 weeks before needing maintenance. With proper care, the hair itself can be reused for up to 8–10 months.
How to Maintain Tape-In Extensions
- Use a sulfate-free shampoo
- Condition only mid-lengths and ends
- Brush daily with an extension-friendly brush
- Avoid oils or heavy products near the tapes
- Always use heat protection when styling
For best results, follow professional advice from your BRUSH stylist and schedule regular maintenance appointments.

Why We Recommend Tape-Ins at BRUSH
Our approach is fully customized — from color matching to placement and blending. Tape-ins allow us to create dramatic yet natural transformations while keeping your own hair healthy and strong.
Can You Color or Tone Tape-In Extensions?
Yes — because they are made from Remy human hair, tape-ins can be toned or darkened professionally. However, we do not recommend bleaching, as it can compromise the hair quality.
