Babe Tapes are different. We’re not just saying that. But what sets them apart? How are they different from each other? Which one should you choose? And more importantly, WHY does Babe offer 2 Tape Adhesive options instead of 1 like our competitors? We’re ready to talk Tapes, Babe.  

 

A Little Bit About Our Tapes 

First off, get to know our Tape Adhesives a little better.  

Starting with the OG, Double-Sided Pro Replacement Tape comes pre-taped to all Babe Tape-Ins, formulated with medical-grade adhesive, and features a strong No-Slip Technology.  

Next, meet Express Replacement Tape, the OG’s demure younger sister. If you’re looking for a gentle hold adhesive that’s completely residue free, you’ve found it! All you need to do is replace the pre-taped adhesive on Babe’s Tape-In and replace with Express.  

 

OG Tape vs Express Tape: Which Is Best for Your Client? 

Now that you and Babe’s Tape Adhesives have become acquainted with, let’s figure out which is best for your clients. Hint.... IT’S BOTH.  

OG Tapes  

It has a strong, No-Slip hold. But what else makes it worth it? 

Use OG Tape Adhesive when your client:  

  • Has medium to thick natural hair density 
  • Tends to have an oily scalp  
  • Has a busy lifestyle with minimal time for maintenance appointments  
  • Want their extensions to last 6-10 weeks between move ups 

Pro tip Babe: You must use an oil-based solvent to remove OG Tape Adhesives (aka our Tape-In Bond Remover) to break down this strong hold adhesive. You can expect some residue left behind in the hair after removal. Nothing a wash of the client’s natural hair and extensions can’t take care of! 

Express Tapes 

We know it’s the gentler option, but there’s more to this story.  

Use Express Tape Adhesive when your client:  

  • Has fine or thin natural hair density  
  • Experiences dry scalp  
  • Can come in more frequently for maintenance appointments  
  • Loves a fresh re-installation every 4-6 weeks 

Pro tip Babe: Use an alcohol-based solvent to remove Express Tape Adhesives (aka our Express Bond Remover). The best part? No need to wash the hair extensions or client's hair before re-taping or re-installing. That means a FAST move up with NO residue in sight.  

 

The Verdict Is In: 2 Is Better Than 1  

Babe’s Tape Adhesives are game changers for stylists who want to deliver quality solutions at a moment's notice. We understand that every client’s hair is unique, and we’re here to support you, Babe! Keep BOTH Double-Sided Pro Replacement Tape and Express Replacement Tape on hand to be prepared for your next Tape-In extension transformation... and keep them coming back!
