Tape-in hair extensions are semi-permanent hair wefts bonded to natural hair using a medical-grade adhesive strip — applied via the sandwich method, lying completely flat against the scalp. They account for roughly 30% of global extension revenue, making them the second most popular installation method worldwide. For wholesale buyers, that demand signal matters: tape-ins move fast, require regular move-up appointments, and generate recurring salon revenue every 6–8 weeks per client.
At K-Hair Factory, every weft is cut from 100% single-donor raw Vietnamese hair — cuticle-aligned, unprocessed, and built to last 5+ years under proper care. Browse all available variants below, or read on for specs, pricing, and sourcing details.
Why Vietnamese Tape-In Hair Extensions Outperform the Market
Vietnamese tape-in hair extensions come from single donors in northern Vietnam — naturally dense, straight, and strong. The raw unprocessed structure means fully aligned cuticles, no acid baths, no silicone coating, and no synthetic shine that fades after a few washes. That is the baseline difference between factory-sourced Vietnamese hair and the mixed-donor or remy-blend products that dominate retail distribution channels.
For wholesale salon accounts, the practical consequence is predictability: consistent color response, consistent texture batch to batch, and a lifespan that allows the hair to outlast the adhesive tab — meaning clients reuse the wefts across two or three installs by simply replacing the tape, not the hair.
- Cuticle integrity: Strands run root-to-tip in a single direction. Zero tangling at the weft bond.
- Bleach tolerance: Lifts cleanly to #60 Platinum without breakage — verified across production batches.
- Lifespan: 5+ years under correct maintenance. Reusable across multiple installs with tape tab replacement only.
- Pack weight: Standardized 100g per pack, 35–40 pieces — consistent for repeat ordering.
K-Hair manufactures without middlemen — raw collection through finished export packs, no distributor markup. Wholesale pricing unlocks from a 300g minimum order.

Standard PU vs. Invisible Tape-Ins: Which to Stock
K-Hair produces two distinct tape-in constructions targeting different client profiles. The decision between them is not about quality level — both use the same raw Vietnamese hair — but about scalp visibility and client hair type. Understanding that distinction upfront helps wholesale accounts build inventory that serves a wider client base without overstocking a single SKU.
| Classic Standard PU | Premium Invisible | |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Hair bonded to a flat polyurethane (PU) strip | Hair bonded to an Italian-grade ultra-thin keratin strip |
| Visibility | Flat; slight tape border visible up close | 100% undetectable against the scalp |
| Best for | Normal to thick hair; volume and length installs | Fine or thinning hair; maximum discretion |
| Salon role | High-volume everyday revenue driver | Premium upsell, high-margin tier |
“Most wholesale accounts run a 70/30 split — 70% Standard PU for general volume, 30% Invisible for fine-hair clients. That ratio maximizes chair throughput and average ticket value without overcomplicating inventory.” — Mrs. Cherry, Sales Manager, K-Hair Factory
Tape-In Specs and Wholesale Pricing
All K-Hair tape-in wefts are packed to a standardized 100g weight, with piece count adjusted by length so that every install — whether 10″ or 24″ — covers the same scalp area per pack. This makes inventory planning straightforward: one pack spec, predictable coverage, no guesswork on quantities per client.
| Spec | Standard |
|---|---|
| Pack weight | 100g per pack |
| Pieces per pack | 35–40 pieces |
| Weft tab size | 4cm × 0.7cm or 4cm × 1cm |
| Available lengths | 8″ to 30″ |
| Bond hold | 6–8 weeks before move-up session |
| MOQ | 300g to unlock wholesale pricing |
Wholesale pricing is quoted per 100g pack and scales with length. For reference, retail-market tape-in sets typically run $200–$500+ per full install — factory-direct pricing from K-Hair sits 60–75% below that ceiling.
| Length | Standard PU (per 100g) | Invisible (per 100g) |
|---|---|---|
| 8″–14″ | $25–$45 | $50–$70 |
| 16″–24″ | $45–$90 | $70–$120 |
| 26″+ | $70–$120 | $90–$145 |
In-stock variants: natural straight blonde, dark brown, and wavy texture.
Tape-In Installation and Client Care
Tape-in extensions attach via the sandwich method: a thin section of natural hair sits between two adhesive wefts, pressed flat at the root. For fine hair, a single-sided method using one weft reduces scalp tension without sacrificing coverage. Bond hold runs 6–8 weeks before a move-up session is needed to reposition wefts as natural hair grows out. The hair itself is not replaced at move-up — only the adhesive tab.
Client care essentials: sulfate-free shampoo only; conditioner mid-length to ends, never directly on bonds; heat protectant before any tool contact; loose braid or silk bonnet at night to prevent friction at weft margins. Always remove with a professional tape-bond dissolving solution — dry-pulling damages the natural hair shaft and is the leading cause of client callbacks after tape-in installs.

FAQ: Wholesale Tape-Ins from K-Hair
Common questions from first-time wholesale buyers — answered directly from the factory.
What is the MOQ?
300g (approximately 3 packs) unlocks wholesale pricing. Single-pack sampling is available for first-time buyers testing quality before committing to volume orders.
How long does the bond hold?
6–8 weeks when applied on clean, product-free hair. The medical-grade adhesive is water and heat resistant — clients wash and style normally with sulfate-free products and bonds remain intact.
Can K-Hair extensions be bleached or custom-toned?
Yes. No synthetic coating means the hair processes exactly like natural hair. Stylists lift to blonde, deposit vivid colors, or tone to any shade using standard 20–30 volume developer.
Does K-Hair offer private label packaging?
Yes. Custom tags, private labels, and branded packaging are available for wholesale accounts above standard MOQ. Contact the factory team directly for lead times and specifications.
