What are tape-in hair extensions? 

Tape-in hair extension comes with a 1.5 inches wide sticky tab (made of medical-grade adhesive) on the top that has been pre-taped with hair strands. And the stylist just needs to peel off the tab and get your own hair between two pieces of tape-ins in sandwich-like bonds. This method requires no tools, no chemicals, but works to bring you a long-lasting and undetectable luxurious hair look. Tape in human hair extensions are one of the safest and quickest ways to add length and volume to natural hair.

Here are some tips to keep your tape-in hair extensions beautiful and last longer.

Tip 1: Detangle your hair extensions regularly and correctly.

Comb your hair extensions regularly, especially before the shampoo process. This can help to reduce hair tangle. Be noticed that avoid brushing the tape of the hair extensions, start combing your hair extensions about 1 inch away from your scalp. And it’s also highly recommended for you to hold the top of the hair extensions to avoid putting unnecessary stress on your scalp.

Don’t wash your tape-ins until 48 hours after the installation. Pick a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner that don’t contain oil, silicone, or alcohol. Oil or alcohol base hair care products can loosen the tape-ins and may lead to slide-off. And remember that don’t wash your hair extensions every day. Only wash the tape-ins when they really need to be washed or you can use a dry shampoo if necessary. Be reminded that always avoid applying conditioners or hair oils on the hair roots. Shampoo at your hair roots, and condition from the mid-length down.
