Tape-in vs Capsule Extensions
Quick answer: Capsule extensions use tiny invisible keratin bonds that last 2 to 4 months and let you wear any hairstyle. Tape-ins are faster to fit but use a wider strip that can show on fine hair and needs refitting every 4 to 8 weeks. Book on WhatsApp.
The core difference
A capsule bonds one strand at a time with a small keratin point. A tape-in sticks a wider weft of hair to your own with an adhesive strip. Capsules are individual and invisible, tapes are quicker but bulkier.
