TIP ON HOW TO WASH YOUR TAPE – IN HAIR EXTENSIONS

Tips On How To Wash Your Tape-In Hair Extensions. Washing our hair can be daunting to some, and relaxing for others. When tape-ins come into play, I stressed and became nervous at the thought of my extensions falling out the moment I washed my hair.

A good wash will go a long way and allow having your tape-ins a more enjoyable experience. With a few simple, easy tips, you can extend the life of your extensions and not lose your mind and money during the process.

Washing my hair was terrifying, and for a good reason. To my surprise, the tape didn’t budge but I took extra caution while washing my hair.

I was shocked and panicked at the same time, but I got through it here are the steps I took below that helped!

HERE’S THE SECRET

Before jumping into the shower, I brushed my hair to make washing easier. I was able to run my fingers through the hair smoothly and not pull on the tape.

Be Gentle with the scalp area of your head- since this is where the tape is connected, you want to avoid thrashing your hair around but more massage your head. It sounds tedious, but I washed my hair in layers to make sure I cleaned every section of my head without disturbing the tape.

Avoid using conditioner or leave-in conditioner on the roots of your hair. Since this is where the tape is attached, you don’t want to risk loosening your tape. When you condition, condition from the ponytail down!

Wash your hair in sections! Since I washed my hair in parts, I used hair ties to hold up the hair. The hair was super heavy, and I felt like it was going to pull my hair out. I know it sounds dramatic, but it was a different feeling, avoid the pulling on your scalp and tie your hair up washing in sections!

Rinse your hair with cold water; it feels better on the scalp.

After washing your hair, wrap your hair in a hair towel to get as much water out of your hair before blowdrying, this will help save time!
