Tying your hair up with tape extensions, especially into styles like a high ponytail, requires careful attention to ensure the tape bonds remain hidden and the style looks natural. The primary focus is often on positioning and concealing the extensions before securing the hair.
Key Considerations for Tying Hair Up
When preparing to tie your hair up, the placement and visibility of your tape extensions are crucial. While securing the hair with an elastic or tie is similar to tying up natural hair, the steps leading up to it are different. You need to work around the extensions to prevent them from showing.
Hiding Tape Extensions Before Securing Hair
Based on the provided reference, a technique for concealing tape extensions, particularly useful when preparing for a high ponytail, involves manipulating the hair around the bond.
Here's a simple method referenced:
- Identify the Tape: Locate a tape extension bond that might be visible when the hair is pulled up.
- Bend or Push Down: Gently push the tape extension bond downwards or bend it slightly against the head.
- Place Hair Over: Take a section of your natural hair (or potentially hair from another extension) and place it directly over the tape bond. The goal is to completely cover the tape.
- Blend: Use a comb to gently run along the area, helping the covering hair blend seamlessly and fully conceal the tape.
- Check Concealment: Ensure the tape is completely hidden before proceeding.
Once the tape extensions are strategically placed and hidden using methods like the one described above, you can then proceed to put the elastic on and secure your hair in the desired style, such as a ponytail. The focus is on making the extensions undetectable within the tied-up style.
