How to Wear Tape in Hair Extensions

Step 1- Hair extensions must be applied to washed clean hair.

Step 2-Part your hair in desired area where extension needs to be applied.

Step 3- Rip off the cover on the tape extension to expose the super tape. Line up extension directly and attach by pressing to piece of desired hair.

Step 4- Double the thickness by adding another layer to the underneath of the piece.

Step 5- Two sticky sides face each other and the section of hair will be in the middle. Like a sandwich.

Step 6- Please Note: Once hair is in, use your flat iron on a low heat setrting. Please control the temperature within 350 degrees Fahrenheit. (Please don't use too high temperature, because that may cause the tape to melt.)

• Then heating the tapes 5-6s one time, repeating 5-6 times. You are finished! Your hair is now thick and seamless.

3 Ways to Remove Tape-in Extensions at Home

• STEP 1: Section and lift up your hair

Using your fingers, get to where tape-in extensions are. Move up the top hair covering the tape and clip tightly with hair clips so that it doesn't interfere with the tape removal process. It should stay out of the way completely.

• STEP 2: Spray alcohol to wet the tape

Take the spray bottle containing 91% rubbing alcohol, and squirt the alcohol on the top and bottom tapes.Saturate the tape area with the alcohol to ensure it gets to every point beneath the tapes.It should loosen the bond between the tape and the sandwiched hair by dissolving the adhesive.And let it stay for 30 seconds to 1 minute, which is enough time for the tapes to detach.

• STEP 3: Peel the tape off your natural hair

The tapes will begin popping up at the edges. Massage the tapes lightly to see if they're moving and ready for removal.Finger-slide the tapes right out of your natural hair. If the tapes are still not unsticking, spray more alcohol.After removal, stick the tapes of hair together and save them for re-use in the following application.

Note: There might be some ripped-off hair stuck in the tape. That hair sheds out naturally as your hair grows. It's nothing in the realm of hair damage.

• STEP 4: Remove the left residue

Apply some hair oil or serum to the hair section separated from the tapes.Take your rat tail comb, and comb through that section gently. Combing is essential to remove tangles and partially the remnant residue.Repeat steps (1) to (4) to remove the other tape-ins.Ensure you remove one tape-in extension at a time. The tapes will re-bond in most hairpieces if you work on several at once.

Note: Some hair may come out as you comb it. That's not hair breakage but the hair that shed when you had extensions in your hair.

• STEP 5: Cleanse and condition your hair

Run your fingers through your hair to ensure all tapes are out before cleansing the hair. At this point, you'll feel your hair is less bulky.

Once they're all out, wash your hair normally using shampoo. 2-3 rounds of washing would be more effective in clearing all the residue and the oil.Then apply a deep conditioner to moisturise and leave your hair soft and frictionless.
