Caring For Your Tape-In Extensions

Tape-in human hair extensions are the best way to have a seamless, natural look. They lay flat against the scalp so that it’s very comfortable and practically invisible. Although its easy to care for tape in extensions, it’s still very important to learn the right way of how to care for them. Hair extensions don’t have certain natural oils that your hair has to help stay healthy, so taking extra care of your extensions daily is a must.


- Before you buy

Before applying tape-in hair extensions it’s very important to thoroughly clean your hair and remove oil with a clarifying shampoo. Normally, one application of human hair extension lasts 10 to 20 weeks. We suggest it’s better not to leave them in longer than that because it could potently do damage to your natural hair! When it is time to replace the tape, please go to a hair salon, and they can remove your extensions safely. Your stylist will apply new tapes to the human hair extensions and reapply them to your hair and it’s good to use again.After you’ve done the application, you have to wait 48 hours to wash your hair for the first time. 48 hours is enough to let the tape sticks together and dries very well so that the tape in extensions will be able to last for a very long time!!!


- Brush Your Extensions Twice A Day

Before you wash your hair, you should thoroughly and gently brush your hair with a hair extension brush. You need to brush your hair every day! Use an extension brush and go right over the point of attachment at least twice a day, making sure that you don’t a have any tangles or mats whatsoever.Section your hair and hold the roots of your hair so that you don’t pull on the bonds. You also have to remember to never brush the extensions while they’re wet; you have to thoroughly dry them before brushing!!!


- Wash Your Extensions gently

It’s better to wash your hair every 2 or 3 days. When washing, remember to scrub your hair extension gently with your hair upside-down; this can avoid tangling of the extensions.When you’re using conditioner avoid conditioner on and around the tapes because this will cause slipping of the extensions.Don’t use products that contain alcohol, ethanol, or oil, because they will damage your hair extensions and adhesive, using too much hair product will do no good to your hair and sometimes it will cause tangle and mat.


- Keep your Tape-in Extensions Dry

After you’ve done the washing make sure to dry your hair immediately especially the roots of the extensions which is very important for the health of your roots. When using blow dryer it’s better to use heat protection on your hair to avoid damage that can be caused by high heat. Remember to completely dry your hair extensions before going to bed keep your hair dry!


- Style Extensions

Before using hot tools to style your hair, remember to use heat protection spray and make sure the heat setting is on low. It’s a good way to avoid damaging your tape in hair extensions.Try not to use any hot tools in general because they could potentially shorten your hair extension life time. Using a flat iron directly on the tape could weaken it; which will cause your extensions to fall out.
