What products do you need for tape-in extensions? ›

Tape-In extensions come in 18 inch and 22 inch lengths. Tape-Ins come in wefts, each 1.5 inches wide. There are 10 of these wefts in every pack and each weft comes pre-bonded with a special adhesive designed for use with hair. A typical full head of Tape-In extensions is about 3 to 5 packs of hair.

Wash out any styling product and dry your hair before attempting to apply tape-in hair extensions. Make sure you use a detoxifying shampoo. Other shampoos will leave a residue that can cause extensions to lose their grip.

You can also reuse the extensions depending on the quality of the hair." When it comes to the cons, one of the most significant is that tape-ins are a temporary style -- and routine salon maintenance is vital. "If your tape-ins are not taken care of properly, it can cause matting and breakage," said Hamilton.

DON'T use straighteners or curlers higher than 350 degrees. DON'T apply conditioner on your scalp or near your tape. DON'T brush your hair harshly, Only brush your hair the way it grows naturally from your scalp. DON'T wear hats, ESPECIALLY during warmer months.

Avoid Shampoo with Synthetic Oils and Moisturising Ingredients. It's important to avoid shampoos such as Olaplex when wearing hair extensions since they contain heavy oils and silicones that can build up on your extensions (and scalp).

Your tape-in extension hair wash routine starts with how often you wash your hair. We recommend washing hair with tape in extensions no more than three times a week. Any more than this, and you can dry out your strands and weaken the adhesive tape bonds.

Brush the hair with a hair extension brush several times a day. Be sure to brush properly, holding the roots to prevent pulling on the bonds. Use a wide tooth comb to remove tangles if needed. Use high quality hair care products but don't overdo it, too much hair care product can cause build up and tangling over time.

Unfortunately with repeated use, hair extensions can cause your hair to become thinner by putting serious and/or sustained pressure on your hair follicles. Over time, this action causes the hair follicle to stop producing hair, leading to small bald patches.
