Lifestyle & Maintenance
Tape-in At-home Care
Wait 48 Hours Before Washing
After getting your extensions applied, avoid washing your hair for at least 48 hours. This gives the adhesive time to fully bond and ensures your extensions stay secure.
Use Sulfate-Free, Extension-Safe Products
Always use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, as harsh chemicals can weaken the bond of the tape.
Opt for lightweight, hydrating products designed for hair extensions to keep your natural hair and extensions healthy.
Brush Gently and Regularly
Brush your hair at least twice a day to prevent tangling. Use a loop brush or a soft-bristle brush designed for hair extensions.
Start from the ends and work your way up to the roots, being gentle around the tape areas to avoid loosening the bonds.
Avoid Applying Conditioner Near the Roots
When conditioning, focus on the mid-lengths to the ends of your hair.
Avoid applying conditioner or oil-based products near the roots or the tape area, as this can cause the extensions to slip.
Dry Hair Thoroughly
After washing, gently squeeze out excess water with a towel. Blow-dry your hair on a low heat setting, ensuring the tape area is fully dry to prevent moisture from weakening the adhesive.
Avoid going to bed with wet hair, as this can cause matting and tangling.
Sleep with Your Hair Secured
Before bed, tie your hair in a loose ponytail or braid to prevent tangling and matting while you sleep.
Consider using a silk or satin pillowcase, which helps reduce friction and keeps both your hair and extensions smooth.
Avoid Heat at the Tape Bonds
When styling with heat tools (blow dryers, curling irons, or straighteners), avoid applying direct heat to the tape area, as this can weaken the adhesive and cause the extensions to slip.
Always use a heat protectant spray to shield both your natural hair and extensions from damage.
Be catious with hair oils
If you use hair oils or serums, apply them only to the ends of your hair, avoiding the tape area. Oils can break down the adhesive, causing your extensions to slip or loosen.
Schedule regular Maintenance
Tape-in extensions require regular maintenance appointments every 6-8 weeks to reposition and reapply any extensions that may have shifted. This will keep your hair looking fresh and extend the life of your extensions.
Avoid Excessive Pulling or Tugging
Be mindful when brushing, styling, or washing your hair.
Excessive pulling can cause extensions to slip or damage your natural hair. Be gentle and take your time when detangling.
Protect your hair from chlorine & Salt water
If you plan on swimming, braid your hair and wear a swim cap.
Chlorine and salt water can damage both your extensions and the adhesive, so minimizing exposure is essential.
Use Dry Shampoo Between Washes
To extend the time between washes and keep your hair looking fresh, use a dry shampoo. Spray at the roots, avoiding the tape area, and gently brush it through to absorb excess oil.
By following these care instructions, you can keep your tape-in extensions looking beautiful and prolong their lifespan, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your natural hair. For additional questions or support, don’t hesitate to contact us at Art of Impact Salon & Spa!
