How to put in tape in hair extensions?

Basically to apply them is super easy,

all you do is pull the white part off of the top and put that underneath a small slither of the hair

and then all you do place another tape in over top of the hair.

They should be only about 1/4 inch down to start.

You need super clean and straight lines with the right amount of hair so you don’t have breakage.

Keep in mind it’s a little bit of hair between the tapes so definitely don’t be rough with it.

What is single sided tape extensions?

The single-sided method refers to the type of tape with adhesive only one side.

You still have to seal the bond,

as in you still complete the sandwich but instead of using two wefts you use one weft and one piece of tape.

The reason why thin-haired women may appreciate this method is that it cuts the weight of the extension bond.

If hair is damaged the additional weight of new extensions,

over time can cause breakage,

if you eliminate a weft you have a healthier installation over time.

Can you wash your hair after getting tape in extensions?

You just can’t do deep conditioning or anything that may deteriorate the adhesive of the tape.

Regular wash and conditioning is fine,

you just have to make sure you’re using products that are noted as safe for use on extensions.

But only use conditioner on ends and not near tape.

and then when you are caring for them just make sure not to put any conditioner or oil

on the bonds because that will cause them to slip.

Best way to sleep with tape in hair extensions

The weight of the extensions should help smooth out the root at the application site,

so it won’t bunch up all wild if that’s what you’re worried about,

but it May require a shower to fix if you sleep on it in a funny way.

That being said it is recommended that when sleeping in extensions,

you put it in a loose ponytail or braid to avoid matting and tangling while you sleep.

Are tape in extensions noticeable?

Your own hair covers the tape extensions,

so they are 100% invisible!

You hair grows out with the tape extensions,

and then your own hair covers it.

These are applied inside of hair,

not on the outside, so you cannot see anything at all!

What you can use to remove your Tape in hair extensions?

91% alcohol in a spray bottle. Slips right out.

Then, hit your hair with any conditioner and comb out any left behind adhesive.

If you’re worried that Alcohol will damage your hair and dry it out!

no it won’t if you follow up with an oil based conditioner to replenish your hair.

Don’t use a straightener.

Just think of what happens if you put heat on tape.

It would be a mess to take out.
