The VELVEE Overlay Method: A Better Way to Install Tape-In Hair Extensions at Home

The VELVEE Overlay Method™ was designed for any woman who wants professional looking tape in extensions without a salon appointment. It is particularly well suited for:

Fine or thinning hair

Because the single long weft distributes weight evenly across the section and lies completely flat against the scalp, it is one of the most comfortable and undetectable options for women with fine or thinning hair. There is no sandwich weight pulling at a thin section of natural hair.

First time extension wearers

The technique is straightforward enough that women with no prior extension experience can achieve a seamless result on their first install. Fewer pieces and fewer steps means fewer opportunities for error.

Women who want to maintain their own extensions

The VELVEE Overlay Method™ is designed to be repeatable. Remove, retape, reinstall every four weeks at home with no stylist required.

Women who want salon quality hair without the salon price

The VELVEE Overlay Method™ exists because great hair should not require a salon appointment. The method puts professional grade results in the hands of the woman wearing the extensions, on her schedule, at a fraction of the cost.


The Hair Behind the Method

The VELVEE Overlay Method™ only works as well as it does because of the hair it is built around. VELVEE uses double drawn Remy human hair, the same quality standard used in professional salon extensions, with intact, unidirectionally aligned cuticles that prevent matting, tangling, and dullness.

Double drawn means shorter hairs have been removed from the weft, ensuring consistent density from root to tip. The extension does not thin out at the ends. Combined with a medical grade adhesive that bonds securely, withstands washing, and releases cleanly without damaging the weft, the result is an extension system that can be installed, removed, and reinstalled multiple times while maintaining its quality.

The method and the hair are designed together. Neither works as well without the other.


How to Get Started With the VELVEE Overlay Method™

Every VELVEE Hair kit includes the long wefts and installation tape. Extension remover is included in Pro and Deluxe kits. Everything needed to complete a full install and removal using the VELVEE Overlay Method™. Full written and video installation guides are available on the VELVEE website.

Color swatches are available for every shade in the VELVEE collection including Solids, Mixes, and Fusion so you can match your color before you order.

Great hair was never supposed to require a salon. The VELVEE Overlay Method™ exists to prove it.
