Full Shine Remy Injection Tape Ins Guide

Full Shine Remy Injection Tape-Ins are premium extensions made from 100% Remy human hair. Unlike standard tape-ins, injection tape-ins use a small injection strip instead of adhesive, creating a lighter, more flexible extension that blends naturally with your hair.

1. Preparation (The Clean Slate)

Before you begin, the hair must be clarified. Use a deep-cleansing shampoo and skip the conditioner near the roots. Tape-ins will not adhere to oily or product-heavy hair. Blow-dry the hair completely; never apply tapes to damp strands.

2. Sectioning

• Horizontal Parting: Start at the nape of the neck. Use a rat-tail comb to create a clean, horizontal part about an inch above the hairline.
• Safety Zone: Always stay at least two fingers’ width away from the hairline and the ears to ensure the tapes remain invisible when the hair is tied up.

3. The “Sandwich” Method

1. The Bottom Slice: Lift a very thin veil of natural hair (thin enough that you can see the tape through it). Place the first injection tape-in underneath the section, adhesive side facing up.
2. Placement: Position the tape about 2mm (1/16th of an inch) away from the scalp. Placing it directly on the scalp causes tension, itching, and potential hair loss.
3. The Top Slice: Place the second injection tape-in directly on top of the first one, adhesive side facing down. The natural hair should be sandwiched perfectly between the two tapes.

4. Securing the Bond

• Press Firmly: Use your fingers or a specialized hair extension plier to press the two tapes together firmly.
• Check for Gaps: Ensure the edges are aligned. If the tapes are crooked, they may snag or peel prematurely.

5. Blending and Finishing

Continue working upward in rows, staggering the placements (like a brick-lay pattern) to prevent gaps. Once finished, use professional shears to point-cut and blend the extensions with the natural hair for a seamless flow.

💡 Pro Maintenance Tips for Remy Injection Tape Ins

• The 48-Hour Rule: Advise the client not to wash their hair or sweat excessively for at least 48 hours to allow the medical-grade adhesive to fully cure.
• Brush Care: Use a soft bristle or extension-specific brush, starting from the ends and working up to the roots while holding the bonds.
• Heat Safety: Keep flat irons and curling wands away from the tape tabs to prevent the adhesive from melting.

• Heat Styling: Safe to style with curling irons or straighteners at medium heat.
• Washing: Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to maintain softness and shine.
• Brushing: Start from the ends, gently work upwards to avoid pulling on tape-ins.
• Storage: Keep unused tape-ins in their original packaging or a protective storage bag.
