mikroteippaukset

Mikroteippaukset, often referred to as micro-taping or mini-tapes, are a method of hair extension application. This technique involves small, pre-taped wefts of human hair that are attached to sections of the client's natural hair. The wefts are typically around 1 to 2 cm wide and are secured by sandwiching a thin section of natural hair between two micro-taped wefts. The adhesive used is generally a medical-grade tape designed to be strong yet gentle on the hair and scalp.

The application process for mikroteippaukset is relatively quick compared to some other extension methods. Stylists section the hair and carefully place the taped wefts, ensuring they lie flat and close to the scalp for a natural look and feel. The placement is strategic to blend seamlessly with the client's existing hair. Maintenance typically involves lifting and reapplying the extensions every 6-8 weeks, depending on hair growth and care. This involves removing the old tape, re-taping the wefts, and reattaching them.

Mikroteippaukset are chosen for their ability to add volume, length, or highlights to natural hair. They are considered a less damaging option than some older methods, provided they are applied and removed correctly by a trained professional. Proper care, including using recommended hair products and avoiding excessive heat or tension, is crucial for maintaining the health of both the extensions and the natural hair. Clients should avoid applying conditioner directly to the tape bonds and should be cautious when brushing near the root area.
