So, how do you care for your tape in hair extensions? Pretty simple, we’ve got tips that will help you care for it perfectly, all you have to do is to keep on scrolling.
Tip 1: Brush your tape in hair extensions correctly and regularly. Brush your hair extensions at least twice daily; in the morning and in the night. Brush it out before taking a shower or let it dry completely after you shower before brushing it. Your hair is weakest when it is wet because the water used on the hair will make it quite soft. Any irritation or agitation caused to it by the brush when your hair is wet will only lead to breakages and damages. Ensure that you use an extension brush or a natural brush for the perfect brushing experience. Brush it also from the bottom and work your way to the top of your hair to prevent tangles and knots.
Tip 2: Wash your hair correctly with the right shampoo. Washing your hair regularly but not often is the trick to care for your tape in hair extensions. Washing at least twice a week and at most four times a week makes your hair extensions last longer. If you feel that you need to wash your hair regularly due to greasiness, products and oil build up just making use of dry shampoo. Don’t scrub the taped areas roughly as it would only cause the taped areas to be loose and make your hair look rough, instead make use of your fingers to massage through the hair extensions.
Tip 3: Style your tape in hair extensions in the exact manner as you would style your hair. Avoid using heat styling tools as they will only damage your hair in ways you can never imagine. If you absolutely must, make sure that you apply heat protectant products beforehand.
Tip 4: Watch the way you sleep. Brush your hair before you sleep reduces the number of tangles you’ll wake up to find in your hair. Pack your hair into a ponytail or a loose braid after you’ve brushed it free from tangles, or get yourself silk bedsheets and pillowcases to minimize the tangling during the tossing and turning at night.
