"Single sided tape is great to use underneath Ultimate extensions," DeLuca says. "Because the Ultimates have more hair, you don’t necessarily need another extension to sandwich underneath."

Don't skip over tape-ins for your finer haired clients. Hotheads Hair Extension's newest release are its Single-Sided Tape tape for tape-in extensions, which create a softer blend with a lighter weight and feel.

Using tweezers, DeLuca shows how to delicately apply Single Sided Tape underneath Ultimates for finer haired clients. Read more about Ultimates here.
"Single sided tape is great to use underneath Ultimate extensions," DeLuca says. "Because the Ultimates have more hair, you don’t necessarily need another extension to sandwich underneath. This is a great option for the finer haired client. Tweezers make the application process very easy!"
