Everything You Need to Know About Tape Extensions: Coming Soon to Fred & Ginger Hair and Beauty

At Fred & Ginger Hair and Beauty, we’re always striving to offer you the best and most innovative ways to achieve your dream hair. That’s why we’re so excited to announce that we’ll soon be offering Showpony Tape Extensions – a premium hair extension service that provides instant length, volume, and style while being gentle on your natural hair.

Here’s everything you need to know about tape extensions and why we’ve chosen to introduce Showpony to our salon:

What Are Tape Extensions?

Tape extensions are a semi-permanent hair extension method that uses flat, adhesive wefts to seamlessly blend with your natural hair. The wefts are thin, lightweight, and virtually invisible, providing a natural finish that enhances your hair’s look and feel without causing damage.

These extensions are perfect for anyone looking to add length, thickness, or even a touch of colour without committing to a permanent change. Whether you have fine hair, thinning hair, or just want to give your locks a boost, tape extensions can transform your look instantly.


Why We’re Introducing Showpony Tape Extensions

We’ve chosen Showpony Hair Extensions because of their commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation. Showpony is a trusted name in the world of professional hair extensions, offering a range of premium options to suit all hair types and colours.

Here’s why we love Showpony:

  1. High-Quality Hair: Showpony uses 100% ethically sourced human hair for their extensions, ensuring they look and feel just like your natural hair.
  2. Customisable Options: Their wide variety of colours, lengths, and textures means we can personalise your extensions to achieve the perfect match for your hair.
  3. Gentle and Safe: The adhesive used in tape extensions is gentle on your scalp and hair, making them suitable even for those with fine or fragile hair.
  4. Environmentally Conscious: Showpony is committed to reducing their environmental impact by using sustainable packaging and responsibly sourced materials.

What Are the Benefits of Tape Extensions?

  • Instant Results: Get long, thick, voluminous hair in just one appointment.
  • Seamless Blend: The flat wefts lay close to the scalp, making them discreet and comfortable to wear.
  • Customisable Colour: Use extensions to add highlights, lowlights, or even balayage effects without chemically altering your natural hair.
  • Lightweight and Comfortable: Unlike other extension methods, tape extensions won’t weigh down your hair or feel bulky.
  • Low Maintenance: With proper care, tape extensions are easy to maintain and can last up to 6-8 weeks before needing a reapplication.

How to Care for Your Tape Extensions

To keep your tape extensions looking their best, follow these simple tips:

  1. Brush Gently: Use a soft-bristle brush and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid tugging at the tapes.
  2. Wash with Care: Use sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners (we recommend Kevin Murphy’s Hydrate-Me range) to keep both your natural hair and extensions hydrated.
  3. Avoid Heat at the Roots: When styling, avoid applying heat directly to the adhesive tapes to maintain their hold.
  4. Use Recommended Products: Our team will guide you on the best aftercare products to use with your Showpony extensions.
