Long tape-in hair extensions are a great way to add length, volume and fullness to your hair. They are relatively easy to install and remove and can last for several weeks with proper care.
Here are some tips for professional installation of long tape-in hair extensions:
Before the start:
- Make sure your hair is clean and dry.
- Brush your hair thoroughly to remove knots and tangles.
- If you have fine hair, it may be helpful to use a hair primer to help the extensions adhere better.
Attaching the extensions:
- Section your hair: Take a small section of hair that is the same width as the extension you want to attach. Use a pointed comb to separate this section from your natural hair.
- Remove the protective film: Carefully peel off the protective film from the back of the extension.
- Attach the extension: Place the extension under the separated section of hair and make sure that the base of the extension is at the hairline.
- Press the tape firmly: Use your fingers or pliers to press the tape onto the extension and your natural hair. Make sure the tape is firmly in place and there are no air bubbles.
- Repeat the process: Repeat steps 1 to 4 for the remaining extensions.
Tips for better grip:
- Avoid placing the extensions too close to the hairline.
- Do not wash your hair for at least 24 hours after applying the extensions.
- Use a mild shampoo and conditioner to wash your hair.
- Avoid using oily products on your hair as these can loosen the tape.
- Air dry your hair or use a hairdryer on a low setting.
