Are tape-in extensions bad for your hair?

Tape-in hair extensions, like any type of hair extension, have the potential to damage your hair if they are not applied or cared for properly. However, when done correctly, tape-in extensions should not cause any damage to your natural hair.

One key factor in preventing damage is the health and strength of your natural hair before the extensions are applied. If your hair is already damaged or weakened, it may be more prone to breakage when the extensions are added. It's a good idea to consult with a hair professional before getting tape-in extensions if you have any concerns about the health of your hair.

Proper care of your tape-in extensions is also important to prevent damage. This includes using a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to cleanse and moisturize the hair, avoiding heat styling, and being gentle when brushing or brushing the hair. Regular visits to a hair professional to maintain and move up the extensions can also help prevent damage.

In general, tape-in extensions can be a safe and effective way to add volume and length to your natural hair as long as they are applied and cared for properly. If you have any concerns about the potential for damage, it's always a good idea to consult with a hair professional.

With proper application and maintenance, tape-in hair extensions can last on average six weeks. Proper application is key. If you've had a friend or family member apply the extensions, they may have done so incorrectly. "One of the most common mistakes I see is that people don't leave enough space between each strip," says professional stylist and owner of Salon AVENUE in Chicago, Jillian Wright. "This can make it difficult for the extension to blend with your natural hair."

 Proper maintenance can keep the hair in a good condition for a longer time.

1. In order for the hair to adhere better you have to make sure your hair is freshly washed and all the buildup is removed before installation.

2. Use extension shampoo and conditioner. Avoid washing by machine.

4. Let the hair dry naturally after washing. Avoid drying the hair with a dryer. Avoid exposing the hair to sunshine directly. Avoid ironing the hair at high temperatures (advise 100-120 degrees).

5. You’d better choose the round-width row spacing combs.

6. If the hair seems to dry out. Just use brilliantine to pump it up.

Remove the tape in extensions carefully by following these steps:

1. Wash your hair with warm water and shampoo to remove any oil or product buildup that may be present on your scalp. This will help loosen the glue holding the tape in place.
