4Essential Rules for Tape-In Extension Care
1.Avoid Washing for 48 Hours After Installation
The 48 hours after installing tape-in hair extensions are called the golden period. Here are some professional suggestions:
- Don’t touch! In order to better fix the hair extensions, do not touch the hair extensions easily.
- Keep it dry! Do not take a bath, swim or do sports that will cause a lot of sweating within 48 hours. Avoid getting water on the hair extensions
- Avoid high temperatures! Do not use heating tools such as straightening irons and curling irons within 48 hours.
Remember, these first 48 hours set the foundation for long lasting, beautiful extensions. Your patience during these two days will pay off with weeks of gorgeous hair!
2.Wash Tape-in Hair Extensions Properly
- Avoid rubbing the roots of your hair! If the tape is often exposed to water, the sticking effect will be greatly reduced. So avoid rubbing the roots of your hair when washing your hair
- Be gentle on your scalp! The focus of shampooing your hair should be to clean your scalp. When cleaning, you can gently massage it. And use a wide-tooth comb to comb it in sections. (Pro tips: When combing wet hair, you must master professional techniques to avoid causing more serious knots)
- Use the right products! Do not use shampoo products containing alcohol, sulfates and silicones.
- Keep away from the tape bonding！When using conditioner or hair mask, stay away from the tape bonding area and apply from the middle of the hair.
- Air dry naturally! It is recommended to air dry your hair naturally when blowing it. Do not rub it repeatedly with a towel.
Pro Tips：Proper shampooing is also an important factor in keeping your extensions long-lasting, so use products with caution. If you are unsure, consult a professional.
3.Brush Gently from Ends to Roots Daily
Proper brushing technique is essential for maintaining your tape in extensions.
- You’ll want to use a loop brush or extension brush because it’ll glide through extensions without snagging.
- You’ll want to start at the ends of your hair and gently brush your hair working out any tangles, slowly working up to the roots. Be careful around the tape bonds. Support your hair with one hand while brushing with the other to avoid putting stress on the bonds.
- Be gentle. Refrain from forcefully pulling the brush through tangles. Work through any knots patiently with your fingers or a detangling spray.
- We recommend you brush your extensions 2 3 times daily to prevent tangling.
Pro tip: Before bed, gently brush and loosely braid your hair to prevent nighttime tangles.
4.Schedule Maintenance Every 6-8 Weeks
Regular maintenance is vital to keeping your tape in extensions looking their best.
Book an appointment with your stylist every 6 8 weeks. During your appointments, have your stylist:
Adjust and reposition the tape tabs as your natural hair grows.
Replace any extensions that have shed excessively.
Trim your hair to maintain a natural, blended look.
Pro Tips for Long-Lasting Extensions
🔥 Heat Styling? Always use a heat protectant and keep tools away from the bonds.Do not use hair tools at temperatures above 180°C/356°F
🏊 Swimming? Wet hair with clean water first and apply leave-in conditioner. Rinse thoroughly after.
🌙 Night Routine? Braid hair or use a silk bonnet to prevent tangling.
