Tape in hair extensions are a very popular hair extension method, and many clients choose tape hair extensions to add hair volume and length. As a professional hairstylist you need to understand and learn how to install, remove and care for tape in hair extensions.
Installing tape in hair extensions
The most common method of installing tape in hair is using the "sandwich" method.
1. Hair extensions must be applied to washed clean hair.
2. Lift up the hair and apply one piece under the parted section.
3. Place the tape 2-3 mm below the part.
4. Attach another tape-on hair piece directly above so the two meet, and press.
There is another less common way of wearing it - using single sided tape

Step 2: After removing the hair extensions, wash away any residue with a mild shampoo and warm water.
Step 3: Please wait for your hair to dry completely before replacing the glue and installing the hair extensions.
Following these will effectively eliminate tape residue from your hair extensions so you can reuse them with new tape.

2. When combing your hair, use one hand to hold the part of the head closest to the root of the head, and then use the other hand to comb upward from the bottom of the hair.

4. It is recommended that you braid your hair before going to bed, or tie your hair into a low ponytail to prevent the hair extensions from getting tangled and pulled during sleep.
