Frequently Asked Questions
1. What Are Tape-In Hair Extensions?
Tape-ins are semi-permanent hair extensions. These are installed by sandwiching a small amount of hair between adhesive strip tapes of hair extensions. The adhesive of the extension is medical grade and hypoallergenic, which makes tape extension suitable for people with sensitive scalps. Tape-ins are strong enough to hold the natural hair securely and gentle enough not to damage the natural hair.
2. How Long Do Tape-In Hair Extensions Last?
With proper care and maintenance, tape-in hair extensions last 8 to 12 weeks. For this, it is important that you follow before and aftercare.
A few important care tips are:
Before application:
Thoroughly clean your hair.
Start the tape-in application on fully dry hair.
Don't use any form of slippery product in your hair before application.
After application:
Wait 48 hours before application.
Don't use shampoos and conditioners that contain silicon; it makes hair extensions slip out early.
Don't sleep with wet tape-ins.
Avoid over-washing your extensions.
Don't use a leave-in conditioner, oil, or oily products to prevent the adhesive from losing its grip.
Don't brush your tape-ins more than twice a day.
Avoid using harsh products and excessive heat on the extensions, especially on dabs.
3. How To Apply Tape In Hair Extensions?
Prepare Your Hair:
Use clarifying shampoo to remove all the build-up and oil. After that, dry your hair completely before applying tape-ins.
Section Your Hair:
Now, use clips to section off your hair. Section the bottom layer first, then work your way up.
Prepare The Extensions:
Prepare the extensions by peeling off the backing of extensions and revealing their sticky side.
Install The Extensions:
Now, take a small section if your natural hair is about 1⁄8 inch (0.32 cm) and sandwich it between two tape-ins. Afterward, press the extensions against the scalp to ensure extensions are attached perfectly.
Repeat On All Hair:
Repeat this process on small sections of hair until you cover the desired area.
Finishing Look:
Once the extensions are applied as desired, cut and style your hair to achieve the targeted look.
4. How To Remove Tape In Hair Extensions?
Use Adhesive Remover:
Adhesive remover that is meant for tape-ins is the best choice for loosening the adhesive bond of tape-ins. Apply tape-in hair extension remover to the tape part of all the extensions with the help of a cotton ball or swab.
Let It Soak:
Let the adhesive remover soak in for a few minutes. It will dissolve the adhesive and allow you to remove the extensions gently.
Gently Remove The Extensions:
Starting with the nape or bottom layer, gently pull the extensions away from your scalp. After that, use a fine tooth to comb out and remove any leftover residue from natural hair.
Wash And Condition Your Hair:
After the removal of tape-in hair extensions, it is highly recommended to shampoo and condition your natural hair. It will ensure that all the residue and tape remover is washed out.
We suggest you take a break between tape-in applications. It will give your hair time to heal and recover from the previous application. Even if the previous application has no visible damage, this break promotes great hair health.
5. How Do You Reuse Tape In Hair Extensions?
Reusing tape-in hair extensions is a great way to extend the lifespan of tape-ins and save your investment. So, let's save money!
Here's the step-by-step guide.
Remove The Old Tape:
Once you remove tape-ins from your hair and remove its residue from hair, it's time to remove adhesive from the extension too. Just peel off the adhesive residue from the tape tabs. It will be easy at that time as adhesive removal is already applied.
Clean The Extensions:
Wash the extensions with clarifying shampoo to remove any dirt and sticky residue. Rinse well and follow up with the deep conditioner by applying it from mid-length to ends.
Dry The Extensions:
Squeeze out excess water from extensions gently. Place the extension on a flat, clean towel, wrap it, and gently wring it out. This process will quick up the drying process. Don't use any heat to dry the extensions.
Apply New Tape:
After the tape-ins are completely dry, apply new double-sided tape to the tape tabs. Make sure it is evenly applied, covers all the tabs, and is the one meant to be used on tape-in hair extensions.
Reapply The Extensions:
Now tape-ins are ready to reuse. It's time to follow the method and apply for extensions as described above in "How To Apply Tape In Hair Extensions?".
