The fact that tape-in hair extensions, when properly cared for, may last 5-8 weeks is one of its finest features. Two months of self-assurance in your new, long, thick hair! Then, if you've taken good care of them, they could be ready for re-application, saving you a tonne of money. While your tape-in hair extensions are in, you can shower and style your hair, but you'll need to exercise extra caution. Here is a comprehensive guide on taking a shower while wearing extensions.

Wait for two days
Wait 48 hours before washing your hair after having tape-in hair extensions installed. They will stay longer and grip tighter since the glue will have had enough time to cling to your natural hair. Use a shower cap whenever you need to within those first two days.

Remind your clients to wait 48 hours before their next shower after putting tape-ins. Because it enables the tape to develop the correct binding strength, this guidance helps tape-in extensions remain in place longer and hold better.

If a shower is absolutely essential, advise your customers to make it brief and to keep the products and water away from their hair. It would be better to advise rescheduling the installation if they need to take a shower after your appointment for whatever reason. Since extensions are an investment, we know you go above and beyond to ensure they are worthwhile.

Do not rub too hard
Your tape-in hair extensions' wefts should stay as steady as possible for the duration of their lifespan. Try not to scrape over them when washing or conditioning to avoid disturbing them. If you think you're still not getting a thorough enough clean, press on your roots and gently move from left to right.

Wash them twice a week
Make sure you don't take too many showers when you do start using tape-in hair extensions. A decent benchmark to adhere to is twice weekly. You could even be able to wash your hair once a week if you have curly or wavy hair. Use a dry shampoo that is light enough not to harm the glue if your hair becomes oily or greasy, especially if you enjoy working out. You could also choose to go with a sulfate-free shampoo or shampoo designed for color-treated hair that uses fewer chemicals.

Finding the source of the issue with conditioner and in-shower condition treatments
Insist that your customers carefully apply conditioner to their hair all the way down, from the middle of the strand to the ends, after shampooing. To carefully keep the conditioner away from the taped wefts is the goal here. The silicone included in most conditioners might make the tape's grip on your client's head less secure.

Of course, the same advice still holds true if your client believes their hair needs moisture and wants to employ moisture treatments. Ask them to tape-in extensions and apply the treatment to the ends of the hair. They risk weighing down their hair and harming the wefts if they place it too close to their scalp.


Dry them before you brush them
Try not to brush your hair until it has dried. This will give any glue that has come loose time to cure and re-set before you brush your brush through the strands. Working your way up the hair shafts, slowly comb or brush the very ends of your hair. This will prevent any abrupt jerking that can potentially cause the glue on your tape-in hair extensions to loosen or come off.

Do not use chlorine
If you like swimming a lot, you might want to reconsider using tape-in hair extensions. Wear a swim hat if you do enter a chlorinated pool while wearing tape-in hair extensions.

Conclusion
Premature loosening or shedding shouldn't be an issue if you get good-quality tape in hair extensions. In order to shower and lead as regular a life as possible, be sure to pick 100% Remy human hair extensions.
