TAPE INSTALLATION GUIDE
TAPE IN INSTALLATION GUIDANCE
Installing tape-in hair extensions requires careful attention and precision. Here are step-by-step instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Start with clean, dry hair. Shampoo and condition your hair before installation.
- Lay out all the needed tools and extensions.
-
Section Your Hair:
- Part your hair horizontally, about 2 inches above the nape of your neck.
- Clip the upper section of hair out of the way.
-
Prepare the Extensions:
- Remove the backing from the double-sided tape on the extension weft.
- Make sure you have both a top and bottom weft ready for each section of your hair.
-
Placement:
- Take the bottom weft and align it with the part you created.
- Press the extension firmly against your natural hair.
-
Sandwiching:
- Take the top weft and place it over the bottom weft.
- Ensure they stick together securely, sandwiching your natural hair in between.
-
Repeat:
- Create another part above the first extension, about 1-2 inches above it.
- Repeat the process, installing extensions all around your head.
-
Blending:
- After installation, style your hair to blend the extensions with your natural hair.
-
Caring for Tape-Ins:
- Avoid using oil-based products near the tape area as it can weaken the adhesive.
- Gently brush and wash your hair, taking care not to pull on the extensions.
-
Maintenance:
- Tape-in extensions need maintenance every 6-8 weeks. You may need to reposition or replace the tape.
-
Professional Help:
- For best results, consider having tape-in extensions installed by a professional stylist.
Remember, proper installation and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and health of your hair extensions.
