Tape-in extensions, for sure, will bring out the best-volumed hair you have been yearning for, but it is not always a good hair day with these hair extensions. It has its ups and downs and pros and cons to consider before getting one. And once you finally decided to get it done, seek professional help because tape in extensions is tricky and should be done or installed by a professional hairstylist.
Since you now have the hair volume or length that you desire, it is very important to take extra good care of your tape-in extensions. We have listed out 3 simple rules for tape in extensions hair care, check out this list:
1. Go easy on hair products.
We understand that your hair products make your hair more smooth, strong, or shiny, but this may harm your tape-in extensions without you noticing. The oils, chemicals, or other ingredients that your hair product contains may affect the glue that’s holding your tape-in extensions to your scalp. By using unadvisable hair products, your tape-in extensions may come out faster than it should have, and that will be unfortunate because you have to have it installed to your hair again--unless you can do the re-installation on your own hair.
To make sure what products to use or what hair products are safe for your tape-in extensions, ask your hairstylist, or the hair professional that installed your tape-in extension. The safeness of these hair products may vary on its core ingredients, so you have to look out for that also. While you are at it, go ahead and ask your hairstylist what you should do if a section of your tape-in extensions accidentally falls off. Better safe than sorry.
2. Sleep in a loose braid.
According to Cosmopolitan, one tried and tested way of maintaining your tape-in extensions is to sleep in a loose braid. Just the right amount of tightness and/or looseness that would make your hair intact in one place as you slumber through the night. This will be a huge help so you would not wake up with hair tangles and knots.
Waking up into a hair with lots of tangles and knots will bring you to the whole process of untangling your hair strands, which could possibly lead to hair fall or hair shedding, and we would like to avoid this as much as possible--that’s why it is recommended to braid your hair loosely before you doze off, especially if you would like to maintain your tape in hair extensions.
3. Manage your hair--properly and carefully
To maintain your tape-in extensions, maintenance and management is the key. You may think that all hair management is proper hair management, but this is not always the case.
Let us start with untangling your hair strands: when doing this, you may want to start at the tips of your hair, all the way to the top. It is helpful that you were able to fix all the tangled hair in your hair’s tips and body, before going to the roots. This way, there wouldn’t be that much pressure on your tape-in extensions when you are combing.
Dry shampoo can be your best friend during your tape-in hair extension phase. Some women prefer to wash their hair all the time, but some don't, and this can make your tape in hair extensions last longer--for the reason that the glue that is holding it in your scalp will not be easily washed away. And scientifically speaking, limited washing of hair is actually preferred by many, because this saves their natural scalp oils. With dry shampoo, you can prevent having an oily looking and feeling crown area in your scalp, even though you have not washed your hair.
Having that extra volume in your hair would also require something extra from you, extra effort in hair maintenance, and extra time in your day to day preparation. But for the hair-conscious and hair perfectionist out there, we get you, and may these three simple rules for tape in extensions hair care get you through this process.
