Fall out is a common issue with Tape-In, Clip-In, Weft, and Keratin hair extensions in daily use. Below are the causes and targeted care methods to extend your extensions’ lifespan:
1. Why Do Extensions Fall Out? 🔍
Improper Installation : Too tight or incorrectly placed, causing natural hair to pull out.
Poor Maintenance 🛁: Not cleaning or brushing regularly leads to tangles and shedding.
Low-Quality Products ⚠️: Cheap hair material or weak attachments (tapes/clips) reduce durability.
External Factors 🌡️: Heat tools, friction, or rough sleeping habits accelerate shedding.
2. Universal Care Tips
✅ Proper Installation
- Have extensions installed by a professional stylist to avoid tension or misplacement.
- Check attachment points (tapes/clips) weekly for security.
✅ Gentle Washing
- Use sulfate-free shampoo to prevent dryness.
- Massage scalp gently—no tugging!
✅ Regular Brushing
- Use a wide-tooth comb, starting from the ends and working upward.
- Brush 2-3x daily to prevent knots.
✅ Heat Protection
- Keep tools below 180°C (350°F).
- Always apply heat protectant spray before styling.
✅ Nighttime Care
- Braid hair loosely or use a silk pillowcase to minimize friction.
3. Extension-Specific Advice 📌
Tape-In Extensions

- 🌙 Remove before bed to protect natural hair.
Weft Extensions
- 💆♀️ Don’t braid too tightly—prevents follicle damage.
- ✂️ Get adjustments every 6-8 weeks.
