Blush+Wren Beach Wave Tape In Hair Extensions

When applied and removed professionally, tape in hair extensions are very gentle on natural hair. They use medical-grade adhesive and require no heat or glue, making them one of the least damaging semi-permanent methods when properly maintained.

Tape extensions are usually re-taped every 6-8 weeks as your hair grows out. The hair is reusable - at each refit the old tabs are removed and fresh tape applied, so the same hair lasts several cycles.

With correct aftercare, curly hair extensions typically last around 6 to 9 months. The process that sets the curl into the hair makes it a little more delicate than straight hair, so curly hair has a slightly shorter lifespan.

The curl pattern itself typically lasts around 6 months. Some natural loosening is normal over that time, and it is accelerated by excessive washing and high heat styling. Following our curly aftercare routine keeps the hair and the curl at their best for longer.

Lengths are measured with the hair pulled straight. Once the curl settles, expect 1 to 3 inches of shrinkage depending on the pattern, with the tightest curls (Classic Curl and Corkscrew Curl) at the upper end. Order by the finished length your client wants, plus that allowance.

Treat curly extensions like natural curly hair. Our recommended aftercare:

1. Hydrate daily. Lightly mist with water and leave-in conditioner to keep curls soft, hydrated and defined. Focus on mid-lengths and ends.
2. Detangle gently. Always detangle when damp, using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Start at the ends and work upwards.
3. Define and refresh. Gently scrunch curls to restore their shape. Apply a small amount of lightweight hair oil to seal in moisture and reduce frizz.
4. Wash less, condition more. Wash only when necessary to preserve curl definition and prevent dryness. Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo followed by a hydrating conditioner or mask.
5. Protect overnight. Loosely braid or gather curls before bed and sleep on silk or satin to minimise tangling and friction.
6. Minimise heat. Allow curls to air-dry whenever possible. Avoid excessive heat styling and always use heat protection.

Yes, with heat protection, as they are 100% Russian Remy human hair. The curl is set into the hair, so it returns once washed and left to dry naturally. Frequent high heat and excessive washing will gradually relax the pattern.

Match your client's own texture, not just the look they want. The range runs from Natural Wave, our softest, to Corkscrew Curl, our tightest.

Our Curl Texture Ring carries all seven curl patterns in real hair, so you can match against your client's natural curl in the chair before you order.

Every curly order is made to order, so allow 10 to 14 working days for delivery. Tracking is provided on every order.

The curly range is available to trade accounts only, in all 70 Blush+Wren shades. It is not available through Private Label, Brand Partner or the Custom Colour Suite.

Colour: the curling process deepens the tone slightly, so curly hair can appear a little darker than the same shade on our colour ring.

Curl tightness: darker shades hold a slightly tighter curl, and lighter shades a slightly looser one, even within the same curl pattern.

How long the curl lasts: curl patterns typically last around 6 months. Some natural loosening can be expected over that time, and it can be accelerated by excessive washing and high heat styling.
