18 Inch Kinky Straight Tape In Hair Extensions #1B Raw Double Drawn

Kinky straight tape in hair extensions made from raw Vietnamese donor hair in natural #1B, 18 inch and Double Drawn. Govihair makes these tape-ins in our Da Nang workshop for salons and stylists whose clients have natural, textured hair and want extensions that blend with a blow-out or a silk press without looking too sleek.

What are kinky straight tape in hair extensions?

Kinky straight is a texture that copies natural afro-textured hair after it has been blow-dried. It is straight in shape, but each strand keeps a fine, coarse crimp, so the hair has volume, grip and a soft matte finish instead of a glassy shine. On textured clients, it blends at the root and through the lengths far better than silky straight hair.

Tape-in is a semi-permanent method. Thin polyurethane tabs carry a short weft of hair. The stylist sandwiches a small section of the client's hair between two tabs, presses them flat and repeats across the head. The tabs lie close to the scalp, there is no heat or glue gun, and the hair can be removed with a solvent and re-taped at the next appointment. These kinky straight tape in hair extensions are made on raw donor hair in its own #1B colour, never dyed black.

At 18 inches (about 45 cm) the hair falls around or just past the shoulders on most clients, the most requested length for natural, everyday volume.

Specifications

Custom colour, texture, packaging and private-label options are available for confirmed wholesale programmes.

Three grades, and how to pick

Every Govihair tape-in is made in three grades. The grade sets how much short hair is drawn out, and that decides how full the ends look. This listing is Double Drawn, with a natural taper that suits textured hair well, and the same hair is available in the two higher grades.

Why salons choose kinky straight tape-ins?

Most tape-ins on the market are silky straight, which looks out of place on natural hair. Salons that serve textured clients order kinky straight for one reason above all: it disappears into the client's own hair.

• A real texture match. The coarse crimp blends with blown-out and silk-pressed natural hair.
• Grip and volume. Textured hair holds a style longer and needs less product.
• Undyed natural black. #1B is the donor's own colour, so it matches natural dark hair and takes colour evenly.
• Gentle method. Tape-ins need no heat, glue or braiding, which is kinder to fragile edges.
• Batch you can see. We photograph and film the actual hair before it ships, like the photos and video on this page.

Raw, virgin and remy hair compared

These three words are used loosely in the hair trade. This is how we use them at Govihair, so you know exactly what is inside your kinky straight tape in hair extensions.

How Govihair makes and checks this order

Every order of kinky straight tape in hair extensions goes through the same checks before it is packed.

• Hair is sorted by length by hand, and short strands are drawn out to Double Drawn standard.
• The hair is checked for natural #1B colour and for any dyed or blended strands.
• The kinky straight texture is checked for an even crimp from top to tip.
• Each tab is tested for adhesion and edge lift, and a scrape test checks that hair does not shed from the tape.
• Length is measured on every piece against the 18 inch order.
• The finished order is weighed, photographed and filmed before shipping.
