Skin Weft Mesh Vs PU Tape Hair Extensions ** ROGUE **

 Hello Ladies!

I will be showing some differences between these two type of Tape Extensions. 

I'll allow the photos to do the talking so I'll keep this short & sweet.

 SKIN WEFT MESH: 

A machine creates the mesh bond by sewing the hair to the mesh bond then tape adhesive is placed over the mesh to create the final result.

This is the method which I use for my current tape hair extension sets.

PU TAPE:

A PU Tape method adhesive is extremely durable. 
PU Tape is actually a glue type extension. 
Being 100% waterproof it is very strong so careful installation will be required as it will cause damage if done incorrectly.  

DIFFERENCES:

Lets start with the obvious first.

Size difference:
As you can see from the photos below PU Tape is so much slimmer opposed to the bulkiness of the mesh.
PU bond will feel less heavy, you should have more flexibility/ movement also.

Shedding:
The positive about the Skin Weft Mesh is that you will get almost NO shedding as the bond are extremely secure.
The positive to that is you can re-tape the mesh extensions multiple times. Hence why I find the best possible quality hair to last 3-6 re-tapes. 

However with PU Tape, (you can of course reuse) you will find they do shed once the tape has lost it's strength which may be 4-6 months down the track after the first re-tape.
I actually only use my PU tape method for the 3 months then want the fullness of a new set.

Easily undetectable:
Both can be easily undetectable if correct installation is applied. (I will be doing a post about application soon)
Skin Weft Mesh may be too bulky for people who have fine hair. I always recommend Pu Tape for these hair types. 

BASIC PROS & CONS

CON
