The Pros and Cons of Different Hair Extension Methods in Dubai: Weft, Tape and Nanos

The Pros and Cons of Different Hair Extension Methods in Dubai: Weft, Tape & Nano

When it comes to transforming your hair, hair extensions are one of the most popular beauty treatments in Dubai. But with so many different methods available, how do you know which one is best for you?

At Rumour Hair Extensions, we specialise in 100% premium human hair extensions that are safe, natural-looking, and tailored to your lifestyle. Below, we break down the pros and cons of three of the most requested application methods: weft extensions, tape-in extensions, and nano extensions.

⸻

1. Weft Extensions Dubai

Weft extensions are applied by sewing or beading a curtain (or “weft”) of hair into your natural hair.

Pros:

• Perfect for adding dramatic volume and length.

• Discreet when installed by a professional stylist.

• Reusable with the right aftercare.

• Faster application compared to nanos.

Cons:

• Best for medium to thick hair (may feel heavy on fine hair).

• Maintenance required every 6–8 weeks.

• If not applied correctly, can place tension on natural hair.

👉 Weft extensions are ideal if you want a full-bodied, glamorous look.

2. Tape-In Hair Extensions Dubai

Tape extensions use thin adhesive strips to bond flat wefts of hair to your natural hair.

Pros:

• Very natural and lightweight — lie flat against the scalp.

• Quick application (usually under an hour).

• Comfortable to wear, even with finer hair types.

• Reusable with professional re-taping.

Cons:

• Not suitable for people who use heavy oils or silicone-based products (can weaken adhesive).

• Must take care when heat-styling near the tape.

👉 Tape-in extensions are a great choice if you’re looking for a natural, low-commitment option that blends seamlessly.

3. Nano Bead Hair Extensions Dubai

Nano extensions use tiny beads to attach individual strands of extension hair to your natural hair.

Pros:

• One of the most discreet methods available.

• Gentle on natural hair (no heat, glue, or harsh chemicals).

• Suitable for finer hair as well as medium thickness.

• Long-lasting (up to 12 weeks before repositioning).

Cons:

• Takes longer to apply compared to tapes or wefts.

• Higher upfront cost due to precision application.

• May need more frequent repositioning if hair grows quickly.

👉 Nano extensions are perfect for women who want an invisible, lightweight method that protects their natural hair.
