let’s dive tape-inS care!

✨ Why Tape-In Extensions Need Special Care

Tape-ins are attached with medical-grade adhesive tape, which means:
📌 They stay put for 4-8 weeks
📌 They’re not removable like clip-ins
📌 Harsh products can weaken the adhesive

Drying
  • Gently towel-dry (no rubbing!)
  • Use a heat protectant before styling
  • Blow-dry roots on low heat to avoid melting the a single and succinct list item
Styling
  • Flat irons & curling wands = OK, but keep away from the tapes
  • High heat near the bonds = disaster (bye! extensions!)

🧴 Products You NEED And Ones to Avoid

Washing product

✔️ Must-Haves:

  • Sulfate-free shampoo
  • Extension-friendly brush (loop brush or soft bristles)
  • Lightweight leave-in conditioner
  • Adhesive-safe oil (for dry ends, not roots!)

❌ Avoid These:

  • Heavy oils near the scalp
  • Alcohol-based products (dries out the adhesive)
  • Wax-based styling products (build-up = slippage)

✅DO:

  • Use sulfate-free shampoo (harsh sulfates break down the adhesive)
  • Wash hair 2-3 times a week max (overwashing = slippage)
  • Apply shampoo mid-length to ends, avoiding the tapes
  • Rinse with cool water (hot water loosens the adhesive)

🛁 Washing Your Tape-Ins: The Right Way

Pro Tip: Flip your head upside down while washing to prevent tangling!
