Honest Review About Canada Hair Tape-in Extensions
Back with another detailed review on hair extensions!
The best way to summarize the blessing of hair extensions into a sentence is that they're your most loyal best friend if you want to increase volume or length in your natural hair. Whether it was the misfortune of not being blessed by mother nature with good hair genetics or you've decided to cut your hair and want a long or voluminous look without the commitment, hair extensions will definitely do the job for you and they'll do it discreetly.
When installed and maintained correctly, hair extensions are the best way to add length or volume to your hair realistically and durably. One of the quickest ways to add length or volume to your hair is clip-in hair extensions since they can be installed and removed all by yourself at home and with ease. They're comfortable in your hair and take mere minutes to install and adjust in your real hair and change up your look instantly. However, if you're looking for something more long-lasting and realistic, tape-in hair extensions are the way to go, which I'll talk more about later. They're specifically popular within A-listers and are gaining in popularity day by day. Let's move on to what this blog really is; a review for hair extensions, which I'll talk in detail about so that all my readers know about where to shop the best high-quality hair extensions from.

If you're already an avid reader of my blog, welcome back! I'm excited for this review in particular since I'll be reviewing tape-in hair extensions from a hair extension company called Canada Hair, which is a reputable company in the hair extension industry. I'll talk more about this company later on, but I want to first specify what you can expect in this Canada Hair review. I'll talk about the material, measurements, color, weight, quantity, quality, installation process, durability, and removal of these tape-in hair extensions as well as some information about Canada Hair and my final verdict on my experience. I hope that this review will help some of you figure out whether or not you should shop for tape-in hair extensions from Canada Hair.
Canada Hair
I want to talk a little bit about the company I bought these tape-in hair extensions from before I start the actual review so that my readers can get a little information about the background of the shop they might be buying from. It's always better to do a little research and read some reviews before you shop online since that can give you a definite idea of what to expect from the company, its products, and customer service. Their website is www.CanadaHair.ca, which is very easy to use. My first impression of the website was that, although the layout was a bit outdated, it was still quite easy to use and explore. They've categorized all their products neatly so it's pretty simple to understand where to get what you're looking for. I knew I was looking for tape-in hair extensions and it took me just a few clicks to get to my destination. Every product had detailed specifications alongside it, as well as clear pictures. I also found that all their orders ship from Canada and they charge absolutely no shipping fees, unlike other hair extension companies I've bought from. Their website also had a section dedicated to reviews, which I read through and most of them seemed positive and satisfied.
Tape-In Hair Extensions
For those that aren't sure about what tape-in hair extensions actually are and how they work, I'll give you some quick information about them before we start with the review. Tape-in hair extensions are exactly what the name entails; they are hair extensions that come with medical-grade tape attached to each weft which is used to bond the hair extensions to your real hair. Since the tape sed here is medical-grade, the bond between the hair wefts is incredibly strong and lasts a long time before they start to slide off. As I mentioned before, tape-in hair extensions are quite popular amongst celebrities and a-listers due to their realistic finish and durable quality. Plus, they're super comfortable in your hair. When installed the right way with the expertise of a professional hairdresser, tape-in hair extensions are made to stay put in your hair no matter how much you move and realistically add volume or length to your real hair without too much effort or time consumption. The installation process for tape-in hair extensions is simple; a thin section of your hair is sandwiched between the tapes of two hair extensions wefts and this method is repeated until the whole head is covered. The invisibility of the tapes helps in disguising the hair extensions in your hair.
About The Material
Now that I've prefaced all that I have to say about the brand and tape-in hair extensions in general, let's get into the actual review. As we all know, hair extensions are made from either synthetic fibers or real human hair, and I always prefer to go for human hair extensions because they are known to create more realistic results and are easier to work with. Plus, they're safe for heat styling and helps blend the hair extensions in with the real hair. The tape-in hair extensions I bought from Canada Hair were said to be made from 100% real human hair on the website. When I opened up the package I received from the company, I noticed that these tape-in hair extensions were made from a fine hair texture and not coarse hair, which was a bonus since that helps in blending in with real hair. I was quite satisfied with the quality of the real human hair extensions and they felt just as soft and healthy as I expected. Once they are installed, they are look so natural that they look just like the hair on your head. The softness and lightweight feel make them move naturally and swiftly with any head movement, unlike some other hair extensions which can be quite stiff and uncomfortable.
Measurements
Truthfully, I've had some experiences with hair extension companies that the product just didn't turn up to be what it was advertised on the website, which is why I'll always stay a little wary when it comes to online shopping. I'm reviewing these hair extensions so that my readers know what to expect from this company and don't end up getting scammed. However, in the case of Canada Hair, you don't need to worry about getting scammed. I ordered 18-inch long hair extensions and that's exactly what I received in the mail. There were 20 wefts of hair in the pack that I ordered, and each weft was about an inch wide. In my professional opinion, these are all great measurements to achieve what you are looking for.
Weight
The weight of the hair extension is more important than you might think; it has to be just right. If they're too heavy and thick as compared to your real hair, not only will they cause a lot of strain on your roots, they'll also look unrealistic since they won't be able to blend in seamlessly with your real hair. If they're too lightweight, they won't make too much of a difference in the length and volume of your hair. The package of wefts I got from Canada Hair weighed about 45 grams, which is the correct weight for one pack of wefts in my opinion. However, the average head requires about 90 to 100 grams of hair extensions for full coverage and a healthy volume, which is why I would recommend getting at least two packs of wefts from Canada Hair.
Quantity
The pack of wefts I received from Canada Hair included 20 wefts of tape-in hair extensions. In my experience, that's a good number of wefts to include in a standard pack of hair extensions so it's safe to say I was satisfied with the quantity of hair extensions sold by Canada Hair. Since the installation process of tape-in hair extensions requires a professional, I would recommend getting at least 2 packs of these wefts from Canada Hair for a full, voluminous result. Plus, I would also recommend discussing with your hairstylist about the amount, length, and thickness of hair extensions to buy depending on your real hair and your desired result. An expert opinion is always going to be of help.
Color
A problem that I've faced previously in my experience with other hair extension companies is that the color of hair extensions on the website isn't always the color you see when your package finally arrives. That could be because of either the company's fraudulent advertisement or simply the difference in lighting. An easy way to avoid facing this problem is to order a sample of hair extensions beforehand so that you know exactly what you're investing your money in. From Canada Hair, I picked the shade "Honey Brown #8", which was a medium brown close to a level #7 or #8, in my professional opinion. Thankfully, I received exactly what I ordered and the shade was completely accurate and natural. I found the color to be realistic enough to blend in so I was sufficiently satisfied.
Quality
I was extremely impressed with the quality of Canada Hair tape-in hair extensions. They were thin and fine, which made it easier for me to blend in the hair extensions with the real hair. The quality was just impeccable; it was soft to the touch and extremely realistic looking. These tape-in hair extensions from Canada Hair felt and looked so healthy that you couldn't even tell that there were hair extensions installed in the hair. They were lightweight, easy to install, easy to remove, comfortable, and durable, which I'll talk in detail about later on. Once they're installed in your real hair, you'll only feel their presence for a few days, but because of how comfortable and lightweight they are, you'll forget you even have any extensions in your hair. The best part was that they were 100% safe and caused no damage or strain on the real hair.
About The Installation Process:
The first thing I want to say about the installation process of tape-in hair extensions is that you should always consult a trained professional hairstylist when getting these extensions installed. How expertly the extensions are installed plays a great role in getting a realistic and discreet result. Since I have professional experience in installing hair extensions, I installed these tape-in hair extensions from Canada Hair myself. I want to talk about the installation process of these tape-in hair extensions in detail, which isn't a complicated method at all as compared to other types of hair extensions such as weave-in hair extensions and micro-loop hair extensions. All you have to do is sandwich a thin layer of your real hair in between the tapes of 2 wefts of tape-in hair extensions, and then repeat this process until the entire head is covered sufficiently and realistically. Since each weft of hair from Canada Hair is pre-taped, you can easily skip one step which is of attaching the tapes to the tops of the wefts. I noticed that the bond of these tapes was incredibly strong, sturdy, and trustable which means you won't have to replace the tapes too often.
Durability
As I mentioned earlier, the bond of the tape-in hair extensions I bought from Canada Hair was sturdy and trustable; you don't have to worry about having to replace the tapes too often or the extensions coming loose with too much movement. You can count on these tapes to stay in place for at least 6 weeks before you'll need to readjust the tapes, replace them, or remove the hair extensions. However, if your hair grows at a faster rate, you might have to readjust them sooner. A few simple ways to increase the durability and retain the healthiness of the hair extensions is to massage your scalp with extra gentleness while showering, remember to keep your hair extensions vertical as long as they're wet, and opt for ultra-hydrating shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks. Since human hair extensions allow heat styling, all you have to do is apply heat protectant beforehand.
Removal
For the removal of these tape-in hair extensions, all you have to do is gently remove the tapes from the roots of your hair using a glue remover and store the hair extensions in a cool and dry place. I would still recommend consulting a professional to execute the removal process for you to avoid tugging at the roots or damaging the hair extensions. As I mentioned, it takes about 6 weeks for the tapes from Canada Hair's tape-in hair extensions' wefts to start loosening up, so if you want to continue wearing the extensions, all you have to do is readjust them and place them higher and nearer to the roots of your real hair. If you notice that the tapes aren't sticking that well anymore, you can easily replace them by removing the wefts, attaching new tapes to each weft, and getting them installed professionally in your hair again. Don't worry about the hair extensions weighing down on your roots, damaging your real hair, or slowing down hair growth; these are completely healthy, breathable, comfortable, and safe.
Canada Hair Review
My final verdict to sum this Canada Hair review up about tape-in hair extensions is they are definitely worth it. I would highly recommend shopping from them if you're looking to add length or volume to your hair. Their products do not disappoint when it comes to quality, quantity, and durability as well as affordability. They are a great way to change up your look without having to worry about it looking fake or damaging your real hair. Really hope you enjoyed this Canada Hair review and that you find it helpful!
