Ugeat Tape in Hair Extensions come in over ten colors and various lengths, making them the perfect choice for creating stylish hairstyles. Want this “beauty essential” to stay put longer and feel more comfortable? Here’s a step-by-step guide from preparation and application to maintenance to help you achieve just that.
1. Before Use: Prep Properly for a Solid Foundation
Don’t Skip the Allergy Test
Upon receiving your product, it’s advisable to do an allergy test first. Take a small piece of the included replacement tape, apply it behind your ear or on another sensitive area of skin, and check it the next day after removal. If you experience itching, redness, or other discomfort, discontinue use and return the product promptly.
Hair Cleanliness is Key
Thoroughly wash your hair before application to ensure no oil residue remains on the scalp or hair roots—oil can reduce the tape’s adhesion and shorten its wear time. Make sure to blow-dry your hair completely afterward to prevent moisture from compromising the tape’s stickiness.
Keep Hands Clean
Wash your hands before application to avoid getting hand cream or other oily products on the tape, which could weaken its adhesion.
Section Hair for Easier Handling
After drying, section your hair according to its thickness. This not only makes the process easier but also reduces the chance of your hands touching the tape, preventing unnecessary loss of stickiness.
2. During Application: Pay Attention to Details for Better Adhesion and Comfort
Peel the Tape Carefully
When peeling off the tape on the tape in hair extensions, use tweezers or similar tools to gently lift it. Avoid touching the adhesive surface with your hands—this prevents dust and oil from contaminating the tape, which could lead to reduced adhesion or later detachment.
Control the Distance from the Scalp
When applying, keep the tape about 1cm away from the scalp. This avoids pulling on the scalp, ensuring comfort, and reduces direct exposure of the tape to scalp oils.
Double Secure with Pressing and Heating
After attaching the tape in hair extensions to your natural hair, press them firmly for about 30 seconds to ensure a good bond. Then, use a flat iron on a low setting to heat the connection point, further enhancing the adhesion.
3. After Wearing: Care for Them Properly to Extend Their Lifespan
Choose the Right Hair Care Products
For daily hair washing, opt for sulfate-free and silicone-free shampoos. Apply conditioner only to the ends of your hair, avoiding the scalp and the taped areas to prevent oil buildup that could affect adhesion.
Handle Wet Hair Gently
After washing and conditioning, let your hair air-dry if possible. Avoid vigorously rubbing it with a towel. You can also use hair oil on the ends to keep your hair smooth and shiny.
Brush Avoiding the Connection Points
Use a wide-tooth comb to reduce tangling and hair loss. When brushing, stay away from the areas where the tape in hair extensions are attached, and gently comb from mid-length to the ends without pulling hard.
4. Replacing and Reusing: Recycle for Economy and Eco-Friendliness
Remove Safely with the Right Tools
When removing the tape in hair extensions, it’s recommended to use professional removal tools and a dedicated adhesive remover to avoid damaging your natural hair or the extensions.
Clean and Dry Before Reusing
After removal, clean the tape in hair extensions thoroughly, let them dry, and then reattach them with the included replacement tape. This allows for multiple reuses, making them both economical and environmentally friendly.
Restore Their Appearance for Reuse
Before reusing, use a flat iron on a low setting to straighten the tape in hair extensions, restoring their smoothness and shine. This prevents frizz and bending from affecting the final look of your hairstyle.
5. Special Situations and Storage Tips
Summer Shipping Considerations
High temperatures during shipping may cause the tape on the tape in hair extensions to melt and ooze. After receiving the product, place it in a cool, well-ventilated area to cool for 1-2 hours before use.
Handling Stuck Packaging
If you open the package and find the tape at the top has stuck to the hair net, don’t worry. Use a toothpick or tweezers to gently separate the hair net, take out the tape in hair extensions, and smooth them out. Wait until the tape cools down and is no longer sticky to the touch before wearing.
Storage Essentials
Store any unused tape in hair extensions in a cool place to prevent the tape from melting due to high temperatures. Proper storage helps avoid reducing the product’s lifespan when you use it again.
By following these steps, you can ensure your Ugeat Tape in Hair Extensions stay on longer, feel more comfortable, and last longer, letting you effortlessly rock all kinds of stylish hairstyles.
