My review using USA Hair tape-in extensions

Introduction

As you all know that I love hair extensions with a passion because of various reasons. There are so many kinds of hair extensions available in the market that anyone can find something to suit their hair type and particular hair needs. I always suggest temporary kinds of hair extensions for new users but once you get the hang of it, you can always step into the world of more permanent options, and trust me the options are endless if you have already decided to dive into the sea of permanent hair extensions options. If you have made up your mind for semi-permanent hair extensions like tape-in hair extensions, then you have come to the right place. Today, I am going to share with you all, my experience with USA Hair tape-in hair extensions along with their ordering and delivery process. So, without further ado, let’s get started!

So, what are tape-in hair extensions?

Tape-in hair extensions are the semi-permanent kind of hair extensions that you do not have to take off and put on every single day. They stay in your hair for a couple of weeks if you take care of them, especially the bonds, in a proper way. The tape-in hair extensions have an adhesive attached to the weft instead of clips that is activated with the help of heating tools, like a straightener. You basically sandwich your natural hair between two wefts and melt the adhesive to stick to your natural hair. Once the bond is dried, the hair extensions will stay secure in your head for quite a long time.

Tape-in hair extensions provide you the experience of having the hair of your choice without having to commit to it for a very long time like fusion or sew-in hair extensions, that take several hours to be installed and taken off. If you are using tape-in hair extensions for the very first time, then it is best to consult a hairstylist who specializes in hair extensions installation and get them installed professionally. A little bit of mishandling can damage the roots of your natural hair or the bonds of your hair extensions. If you properly follow all the aftercare instructions of tape-in hair extensions and get them installed with the help of a trained professional, you will be able to get 5 to 6 weeks of wear time without any maintenance or adjustments.

About The Company, USA Hair:

US Hair has a variety of hair extensions in different qualities of hair; synthetic hair, human hair, and premium Remy hair, all at an affordable cost. They have an easy to navigate website with all their terms, conditions, and prices mentioned clearly. This brand was created with a motto to provide everyone with high quality hair extensions and wigs without burning a hole in their pocket, no matter what age and gender they are.

A Little Background About My Hair:

I have been an avid user of hair extensions because I love how they can instantly transform your look without any hassle or extensive chemical processes. My natural hair is quite thin because I have health issues and hair thinning is one of the first few symptoms that you notice if you have thyroid problems. I have tried all vitamins, treatments, and medications to make my hair thicker and healthier but nothing works on me due to this condition. Even though there is no shame in having thin hair but it has always acted as an obstacle in hairstyling. You need a good volume and thickness in your hair to achieve those picture-perfect hairstyles, for occasions or daily basis.

One of my friends suggested me to try out hair extensions to alter the length, volume, and thickness of my natural hair and trust me I have never gone back to not wearing hair extensions since then. I am fond of wearing different kinds of hair extensions depending on my mood. Initially I wore clip-in hair extensions every day as they are easy to install and take off and do not require any commitment, but then I got exhausted with the everyday installation and removal process so I decided to take my hair extensions game up a notch and after some extensive research, I got my hands on tape-in hair extensions from USA Hair. I would suggest clip-in hair extensions to everyone who is just starting off with hair extensions but if you have been wearing clip-in hair extensions for quite some time and want to move on to a more semi-permanent option, then tape-in hair extensions will be your best pal, especially if you have thin hair like me.

Online Reviews:

If you want to know more about a product before buying it then it is a must to read online reviews regarding that product on various websites. You can also check the reviews written by their customers on the website of that brand to make up your mind if you actually want to invest your money in that product or not. Reading online reviews about the product I have decided to buy, is the first thing that I do before even adding the products in my cart. For the Remy Tape-in hair extensions by USA Hair, I did the same. I read several different reviews about these hair extensions and mostly the reviews were positive. Their customers have raved about the quality and affordability of the Remy hair extensions as they are quite inexpensive compared to the other renowned hair extensions brands. I review different hair extensions on my blog for the exact same reason; so my readers can have a better idea of what they will be getting after making a purchase. This helps in a wiser and more hassle free shopping experience.

The amazing reviews about the Remy Tape-in hair extensions intrigued me to buy them right away and I did exactly that. Now that I have got my hands on these hair extensions and I have used them, I think I am ready to review them for you all.

My Purchases from USA Hair

As I mentioned in my previous blog post, I really liked the quality of these hair extensions that I bought for myself and my sister. I ordered their clip-in hair extensions initially and I fell in love with the quality of the hair and the price they offered. Therefore, I decided to try the other varieties of hair extensions that they had on their website and tape-ins was my next pick. They have a huge variety of colors and lengths in tape-in hair extensions so everyone can get their hands on something that is suitable for their hair type, length, and color.

For me, the price was one of the main reasons why I love USA Hair for buying different kinds of hair extensions.

There are more than 20 different shade options to choose from when you buy tape-in hair extensions along with 3 length options that are 14”, 18”, and 22”.

The different shade variety like blacks, browns, blondes, ombre, and highlighted hair makes it quite easier for the buyer to select the kind of hair extensions they want according to the natural color of their hair.

It took me only a few minutes to navigate the entire site and finalize my order with the help of user friendly options and website layout. I sent the picture of my natural hair color to the customer support team of USA Hair so they can help me select a color for myself that is my perfect match. I hesitated between two colors; #2 Dark brown and #1B Black-brown as my hair is a weird shade of brown and I felt both will match my hair. I also checked out the pictures uploaded by the customers to completely make up my mind. The customer support team suggest the color “#2” which is a rich dark brown color and I proceeded to place my order of tape-in hair extensions. The length II chose for me was 18” as this is the length that works best with my thin hair type and the natural length of my hair. I received 3 sets of tape in hair extensions in the #2 (Dark Brown) in perfect condition, ready to be installed. The brand of the extensions sold on USA Hair is called Tara Hair.



Pricing and Affordability:

The one thing that I am really impressed with about USA Hair is that their price range is unmatchable. Everything on their website is so incredibly affordable and high quality that you cannot hold yourself back from purchasing the myriad of products they are offering on their website. The Remy hair extensions on USA hair start from $129 which is quite affordable in my opinion. Remy hair extensions are the most expensive since it is made from high quality kind of hair. The premium quality hair used in Remy hair extensions is treated with high quality and expensive products to keep the natural state of hair intact without damaging the color or the texture amid the process. I suggest Remy hair to all my clients who are really into wearing hair extensions because of the superb quality. 

While purchasing the Remy tape-in hair extensions from USA hair, there was a 15% off sale going on the website which made my total amount even lesser than I expected. There are no delivery charges as well which means I only paid for the product that too on a discounted price rate. The natural Remy hair at such a low piece was nothing less than a treat for me. I can easily vouch for the affordability of this brand without compromising on the quality of the product. Unfortunately, the 15% sale is no longer available but you can find the 10% off sale coupon on their website at all times and receive your products at an even lesser rate. I used my credit card to make the payment for my selected product and did not face any issue with that, neither any hidden charges were deducted from my bank account which is amazing.

The Website and the Complete Buying Process:

The very first thing that totally blew my mind when I initially visited the USA hair website, was the amazingly vast variety of hair extensions and wigs available at the online store. If I am being honest here, I will mention that I was even a tad bit overwhelmed by the massive range. The store offered to me hair extensions and wigs in a huge number of options, ranging from many different lengths to colors that would fulfill all my dreams of getting hair extensions. In addition to that, the wigs and hair extensions were available in two different types of hair, which are “synthetic hair” and “human hair”. Due to the site being so big and the variety being so wide, it took me a little bit of time to finally get the hang of it and comfortably navigate around the website, before I easily knew what to click and where to find a set of hair extensions that would suit all my requirements and desires. I had read quite a number of reviews about the website and really, I had some high hopes with it, the products that it offers, and most importantly its service, so I decided to give it a go for myself.

When I first went to the page offering hair extensions and after a little bit of browsing and searching, I came to know that USA hair offers more than 20 different colors and shades of hair extensions to choose from according to whatever suits your needs and what you would like, which I think is a pretty impressive factor because that way anyone and everyone can find a set for themselves. USA hair offers shades of brown, blonde shades, ombre colored extensions, and shades that would give your hair a highlighted look. Furthermore, all these shades were available in 3 different length options, which are 14 inches, 18 inches.

At first, I was in a fix between two shades of colors, #2 which is a dark brown shade, and #1B which is black-brown shade. My hair is a strange shade of brown color, which made it a little tricky for me to find the shade of hair extensions that would suit my hair. Oh, by the way, while we are on the topic of solving these confusions, let me also just mention how nice the customer support offered by USA hair is. I was really thankful for and impressed by the concern and value of their customers. I sent customers support a picture of my hair and they helped me decide the right shade for me, which turned out to be #2 dark brown, you can easily do the same as well when using their selfie uploading system. As I mentioned earlier, I decided to order a set of tape-in hair extensions in the shade mentioned above, in 18 inches of length. I bought 3 sets the of hair extensions in the same shade and length.

Fortunately for me, there was a discount code available on the website at the time when I was ordering, so I guess my luck had just hit the jackpot. Sadly, that discount is no more available, but the site always has a continuous discount going on, for which the discount code is “SUPER10”.  After placing my order with my credit card, I received a confirmation email soon after, and the next day I received my tracking code. 

What I was worried about was the delivery process, if they would deliver the products on time and in good condition. Needless to say, all my worries vanished when I received the parcel soon; the products were nicely wrapped with care, along with a “thank you” card with instructions. The total bonus point is that I also received extra adhesive for attaching the extensions and a hairbrush as a gift. That’s great customer value right there.

Shipping and Fees: USA Hair Review

The best part about USA Hair is that they do not have any kind of shipping fee of hidden charges that can scam you at the time of payment. Most websites have shipping charges that are almost half the amount of products that you are buying including tax. I did not face anything like that on USA Hair. There is literally no shipping and no duty fees at USA Hair. They ship throughout the United States of America without any additional delivery charges. I received my parcel through USPS and I had to sign after receiving my product which means you have to have someone at home when your product arrives. 

USAHair.com has a secure payment and shipment process so you do not have to worry about any of your personal information going in the wrong hands. I received my order within just 4 days of ordering and I did not pay a single extra penny for urgent delivery or even basic shipment. If you want to only pay for the product you are buying and not extra delivery charges then USA hair is the ideal place to order your hair extensions and wigs from.

Quality of the Hair: usa hair review

My previous orders with USA Hair went quite smooth and I loved the quality of the clip-in hair extensions that I received. Not only me, but my sister also loved the quality of her USA Hair hair extensions and she has been wearing them every other day now. This time I ordered tape-in hair extensions and I was expecting the same quality status. They have different kinds of hair quality; synthetic, human hair, and Remy's hair. I decided to get my hands on Remy tape-in hair extensions as I wanted a semi-permanent option for my hair. Tape-ins are usually installed with the help of a hairstylist but since I am a hairstylist myself I decided to give this a go on my own. When the product arrived the first thing that caught my attention was the packaging. The hair extensions were nicely packed in secure packing. There was also a thank you card with the hair extensions that had all the main instructions about how to take care of these hair extensions. Upon opening the pack, the Remy hair extensions literally won my heart. The texture, the smoothness, the healthiness, and the flow of that hair was exactly what I was looking for. Each strand of the hair looked healthy and high quality. Color #2 matched perfectly with my natural hair and blended seamlessly. The adhesive on the wefts of the hair extensions looked strong and good quality.

Apart from that, the additional glue and the hairbrush as a gift in the package was something that made me add extra positive points to the review. The extra glue was also of premium quality. I have used so many tape-in hair extensions that I can tell the quality of the tape-in adhesive just by looking at it. There were 3 sets of 20 tape-in wefts in the package and each weft weighed 45 grams which makes them 60 wefts and of 135g in total. For people with thin hair this hair, this weight is quite okay and would not weight their hair down. The 18” length hits just below my belly button and it was a fine enough length according to my preference. I have always loved long and fuller hair so these hair extensions lived up to my expectations of giving me what I wanted. Hair length entirely depends on the height of the wearer so it might vary from one person to another. I installed my tape-in hair extensions with the help of my hairdresser friend as we both are already quite educated about the installation of tape-in hair extensions.

She cut the hair extensions according to the shape of my hair so there is no stark difference between my natural hair and my tape-in hair extensions. My friend also commented about the quality of the tape-in adhesive as they stuck really well while we were installing them in my hair. She was astonished by the quality of the hair and adhesive especially when I told her about the price I paid for the set. After the installation, the results looked incredible and the hair extensions looked precisely like my natural hair. I did not feel any weight on my head that I could not carry or something that would damage my roots. The hair extensions instantly added a lot of length and volume to my thin hair and it glammed up my look without overdoing it. Initially, the tape-in adhesive was a bit close to my roots which gave me a hard time putting my hair in a bun or high ponytail. Within a few days, the adhesive got comfortable and I was able to make several different hairstyles with my new hair.

Since the day I have I got my tape-in hair extensions installed I have never thought about going back. I love waking up to a beautiful and full head of luscious locks. I do not have to remove and install hair extensions on a daily basis which is bliss. It saves so much of my time and energy while getting ready in the morning. It stays put perfectly and the bonds do not loosen down if you take proper care of it. The only drawback I have found is that I have to spend more time in the aftercare to make sure the bonds stay intact. I also have to be careful with my heating tools so they do not touch the bonds and melt the adhesive. I have been spending more money on hydrating hair products to take extra care of my Remy tape-in hair extensions. Once you get into a routine of taking care of your tape-in hair extensions you will find it easier to follow that routine and enjoy your beautiful hair every single day.

Customer Service:

A company’s customer service department is its most important department that can make or break the reputation of that company. USA Hair has a highly professional and talented customer service team that is always available and ready to help their customers. You can contact the customer service team through their website for any kind of help or added information that you require related to their hair extensions and wigs. As I have mentioned above that I chose the color of my hair extensions with the help of the USA Hair customer service team and I had quite a pleasant experience getting in contact with them. I sent them a picture of my natural hair and asked for suggestions between the two colors I was confused between. They suggested me #2 that goes amazingly well with my natural hair color and blends seamlessly. The color their customer care team suggested looked exactly like the one showed in the picture on the website when I received it. Their response was prompt and they understood my query quite professionally.

In my opinion, the customer care team of USA Hair is hardworking, responsive, and very professional when it comes to dealing with their customers. This behavior makes you trust the brands and develop a relationship that enables you to reach back to those brands for further purchases. I highly recommend USA Hair customers to get in touch with their customer service team for any sort of guidance or query regarding their website or products. They can even guide you about the correct installation and removal process of their hair extensions and wigs while guiding you through your order for a customized shopping experience.

Pros and Cons of Tape-in Hair Extensions:

Now that we have discussed all the information about the tape-in hair extensions that I have purchased from USA Hair, I am going to shed some light on the pros and cons of tape-in human hair extensions. Every kind of hair extensions has its own pros and cons and if the pros overweigh the cons, it is most likely a good option to try out. For tape-in hair extensions, here is the list of the most common pros and cons.

Pros:

#1 They Are Semi-Permanent:

The best thing about tape-in hair extensions is that they are semi-permanent. You do not have to install and remove them every single day. Tape-in hair extensions can stay in your head for around 6 to 10 weeks which is a good amount of time for semi-permanent hair extensions. You can also easily remove them once you decide to change the look of your hair.

#2 They Are Quite Comfortable:

Tape-in hair extensions latch to your hair like your natural hair and feel comfortable. They are also lightweight which means you would not feel any extra weight on your head while the hair extensions are in your head. The comfort level that these hair extensions provide makes them one of the most preferred options amongst the many kinds of hair extensions available in the market.

#3 They Are Easily Reusable:

Even though the tape-in hair extensions are semi-permanent and come with an adhesive attached to the weft that has to be melted for the application, you can easily reuse them as many times as you want if you take proper care of your hair extensions. Just add new adhesive tapes on the wefts and your hair extensions are good as new.

#4 They Are Ideal for Thin Hair:

I have mentioned before in this article that tape-in hair extensions are ideal for thin hair. They do not weigh the hair down or damage the roots of your hair. The tape of the tape-in hair extensions is soft and attaches to a big chunk of your hair that prevents any damage. I personally have thin hair that does not get thick no matter what remedies I try, therefore, I always opt for tape-in hair extensions to lengthening and volumizing my hair. 

#5 They Do Not Damage Your Hair:

Most of the permanent and semi-permanent hair extensions can cause damage to your hair in one way or another. However, tape-in hair extensions are the safest options to go for if you want to avoid any kind of root damage. They are easy to wear and healthy for your hair which is a total win-win situation.

#6 They Are Invisible to Naked Eye:

When we attach hair extensions to our hair, chances are the clips or the bonds can be seen if we move our hair too much. With tape-in hair extensions, you can achieve the most natural look without any wefts or tapes showing. Once the tape is melted, the hair extensions look like they are a part of your natural hair. This quality of tape-in hair extensions makes it easier for the wearer to sport whatever kind of hairstyle they want in accordance with the occasion they are going to attend. 

Cons:

#1 They Are Expensive:

Tape-in hair extensions are easy to use and do not cause any damage, therefore, they cost a bit more than other semi-permanent hair extensions available in the market. The price tag mostly puts the customers off but at USA Hair you can get Remy tape-in hair extensions at the most affordable price rate compared to many other renowned hair extension brands, without compromising on the quality of the product.

#2 They Might Fall If Not Installed Correctly:

Tape-in hair extensions are supposed to be installed professionally with the help of a trained hairdresser. If you try to install your tape-in hair extensions on your own and fail to melt the bonds properly, you might face the embarrassment of your hair extensions falling in the middle of the event or gathering you are at. Get them installed professionally to prevent such mishaps.

#3 They Require Extra Maintenance:

Tape-in hair extensions require different hair care products that would not melt or wash off the adhesive bonds on the weft. Most of the time your salon will suggest you which products to use with tape-in hair extensions, but if they do not, make sure to question them and research the best hair care products for tape-in hair extensions. Also, minimize the use of heat styling tools to ensure your tape-n adhesive stays intact.

Final Verdict

I want to make it clear that I have purchased these hair extensions with my own money and my reviews are not sponsored or biased in any way. I love to share my experience with the hair extensions that I try out to help you all in selecting the best products for you.

In a nutshell, I have enjoyed using these tape-in hair extensions by USA Hair quite a lot. I received the order confirmation email as soon as I placed the order and I received my package within 5 days only. I love a good delivery and customer service which USA Hair never fails to provide. I selected my hair extension’s color with the help of their active customer care team and the color matched my natural hair perfectly. My hair is a unique shade of brown that I have trouble finding a match for but their prompt response made it easier for me to make a decision. USAHair.com also sends you two free swatches at home so it is easier for you to decide your perfect color at home. Matching hair color swatches right beside your natural hair is the best way to select the color of your hair extensions and USA Hair understands that. I had an amazing experience with their professional and highly trained customer team and I recommend everyone to contact them if you face any issue while placing the order or just to get a detailed answer for your query regarding their products.

Keep in mind that I do not recommend permanent or semi-permanent hair extensions if you have never worn hair extensions before. Always start off with clip-in hair extensions so your hair can get used to wearing extensions and then move on to tape-in hair extensions.

My Views

Out of all the tape-in hair extensions that I have owned, these by USAHair.com are my favorite. The most important factor that made me form this opinion is excellent customer service and an unmatchable price rate. They have all kinds of hair extensions form synthetic to human hair to Remy's hair at an affordable price rate. Their website is easy to navigate and quite responsive. I have been wearing my tape-in hair extensions ever since I have received them and I love how natural they look. The Remy hair has a natural shine and bounces to it that even makes my natural hair appear healthier. The bonds of the hair extensions are so comfortable that I can easily make a high ponytail or a top knot without the fear of the bonds showing. Initially, the bonds were a bit stiff but eventually got softer and more manageable.

I highly recommend the tape-in hair extensions by USA Hair.com or Canada Hair if you are looking for high quality hair extensions without burning a massive hole in your wallet. You will not be disappointed by the quality and service of USA Hair as I have personally experienced it twice and the quality of their service and products remained the same. They also have sales and discounts going on which makes their products even more affordable.

Thank you for reading this review of USA Hair!
