Keratin Bond vs Tape Extensions: Why Wefts Are The Better Choice
Keratin Bond vs Tape Extensions: Why Wefts Are the Better Choice
Something we're often asked is: "What's the difference between Keratin Bond and Tape Extensions?". While both methods have their uses, at Yovanka Loria Salon, we specialise exclusively in Weft Hair Extensions - and here's why we think they're the superior option.
About Keratin Bond and Tape Extensions
Keratin Bond Extensions use individual strands attached with keratin-based adhesive, while tape extensions attach small sections of hair with medical-grade adhesive tape. Both methods can work for certain hair times, but they come with limitations.
Keratin Bonds: Can take hours to apply, they require professional installation and removal, and can stress the hair if not installed correctly.
Tape Extensions: Are quicker to apply and often more affordable, but may slip or show at the roots, and can cause damage to the natural hair from the tape-adhesive if not installed correctly.
Why Wefts Are The Better Choice
Suitable for All Hair Types: Wefts distribute weight evenly across the scalp, making them gentle for fine, thick, or textured hair Unlike keratin or tape, there's no excess stress on individual strands.
Longer Lasting: With proper care, Yovanka Loria Extensions can last 6 to 12+ months, far surpassing the average lifespan of keratin bonds or tape extensions.
Seamless and Natural Appearance: Wefts lie flat against the scalp and can be customised in colour and texture, giving a seamless, natural blend. High ponytails, braids or updos can be achieved effortlessly with wefts.
Comfortable and Low Maintenance: Wefts are lightweight and easy to wash and style compared to other methods.
Promote Hair Health: Yovanka Loria Extensions and our specialised Hidden Bead Method reduces strain on the natural hair, allowing it to grow and remain healthy.
The Takeaway
While Keratin Bond and Tape Extensions can have their place, Weft Extensions offer the most versatile, long-lasting and gentle solution for all hair types. That's why we specialise exclusively in Yovanka Loria Extensions at Yovanka Loria Salon.
