Can textured tape-ins be styled with heat?

We only recommend using very low heat to heat style your kinky tape-ins. They should retain the curl pattern, however curls will loosen if repeatedly using heat. To revive the curls, wash with sulfate-free curl care shampoo and conditioner, and use a deep conditioner for added bounce.

Can I sleep or swim with kinky curly tape-ins?

Sleeping it is generally not recommended to sleep with kinky curly tape-in extensions. When you sleep, your hair rubs against your pillow, which can cause the extensions to become tangled and damaged. To protect your extensions, it is best to sleep with your hair in a loose braid or ponytail. Swimming it is generally not recommended to swim with kinky curly tape-in extensions. The chlorine in pool water can damage the hair fibers and cause the extensions to become dry and brittle. If you want to go swimming with your extensions, it is best to wear a swim cap or tie your hair up in a bun to keep it out of the water.

Customers praised the natural-looking tight curly texture and quality, with one saying "most people think it's my real hair." The hair is easy to style and durable. However, some found the texture too kinky for certain hair types, and a few reported inconsistent quality with bundles not holding curls or tapes requiring heat to adhere properly.

Needed to heat the tabs but good overall.

I love the curl pattern but the tapes wouldn’t stick to my hair without using the flatiron to squeeze and heat the tapes together.

Dear Savannah, thank you for your feedback and for highlighting how much you loved the curl pattern! We’re sorry to hear you had difficulty with the tapes adhering properly. While using a flat iron to secure the tapes can sometimes help, we’d love to provide additional tips or support to ensure they perform as expected. Please don’t hesitate to contact us-we’re here to help! Perfect Locks Team ❤️

Good quality, got it on sale

The quality of this hair is wonderful. It’s natural and easy to style. I wake up with perfect hair. It looks healthy, I’m very satisfied! I have used several types of hair but i will have to say Perfect Locks is the best i've used, it looks so natural that most people think its my real hair.

Too kinky for me

The texture is a bit curlier than expected which makes it an imperfect blend for natural 4b/c hair. It also had a bit of an odd smell. i used this tape for my second application and have had no issues.

Dear Jamie, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear the tape held up well for your second application, though we’re sorry the texture wasn’t a perfect match for your 4b/c hair. We’d love to assist you in finding the right texture for a seamless blend in the future. As for the odd smell, we recommend a gentle wash before installation to help address any lingering scent. Please let us know if there’s anything more we can do to support you! Perfect Locks Team ❤️

Long Time Customer.

This is not my first time purchasing hair from this company. The hair a brought Dec 2013 I still have. I even. Bright some for my daughter. I’ve bought hair here for the past 5 years. Never disappointed.

Update... Not so great.

Update on hair… Something about this company and the hair is not the same. This is not my first purchase. I was very upset after I installed my bundles. From the moment they were installed I knew something was not right two of my bundles would not hold curls and got hard when flat ironing. I was not going to do a review but I thought customers should know about my experience.

Dear Cheryl, thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your recent experience didn’t meet the high standards you’ve come to expect from us. It’s concerning to hear about the challenges you faced with the bundles not holding curls and hardening under heat. Your experience is important to us, and we’d love to work with you to address these concerns. Please reach out to our customer service team so we can assist you directly and ensure a better outcome in the future. Perfect Locks Team ❤️

Love the Texture

These Tight Curly Tape-Ins are EVERYTHING. I was super hesitant about trying tape-ins because I’ve had bad experiences in the past with extensions either not blending well or looking super obvious. But these? Absolute game-changer. I've had these reinstalled once already and I'm still loving them!

Dear Tanisha, Thank you for your amazing 5 star review! We are beyond thrilled to know that you are having an amazing experience with our Tight Curly Tape-Ins! We hope to see some tagged photos from you on our Social Media accounts :) Once again, thank you for your support, and if you need anything feel free to reach out to us!
