Hair extension tape is one of the most natural looking semi-permanent hair extensions on the market for a seamless look, because of the way you lie flat on your hair. Each flat weft is attached to keratin adhesive tape. The tape is made from keratin to protect the hair and provide a natural and strong bond. These extensions look incredibly and make you feel amazing, but if they keep looking at their gorgeous best, you need to follow a set of rules.
But why does the extension tape slip and fall off? There are many reasons why tape-in extensions don’t stay. We’re here to break it all for you!
What is an incorrect slip on the tape in the extension?
Incorrect slipping is the name given to the gap between the scalp and the bond that develops as the hair grows. In fact, when your hair grows and the gap is the result of that growth, your bond appears to have slipped.
The hair extension tape is attached to your own hair. This means that as your hair grows, the extension moves downwards. This gives the illusion that the extension will slip. So it’s the term “false slip.” With just a few weeks of growth, the tape will move a few centimeters below where it was originally placed, but of course the tape is growing, not slipping.
Things you need to know before deciding to use tapes in your extension
Take your time to recognize the type and texture of your hair. Think about your lifestyle too – can you really incorporate changes to your hair care routine into your lifestyle?
If you are considering permanent hair extensions to transform your life or lifestyle, you should spend time learning more about it. Does this big change suit you and your way of life?
And this 100% applies to hair extension tapes – you need to know if it’s suitable for your hair type and texture – sorry but it’s safe! Some people naturally have oily scalps, which makes the tape slippery. If your hair is naturally greasy, it does not lift the tape and slips. Hair type also affects the way you apply it. So, consult with an extension expert with tape before committing.
You also need to consider your lifestyle. Do professional hair extensions like tape-in fit your lifestyle? And can you take good care of your extension? Sweat and frequent cleaning can cause tape to slip, so if you’re a gym bunny or a regular swimmer, you might want to think about it again. Similarly, if you have a job that means you’re hot and sticky, or if it means you need to wash your hair a lot, you might want to think about it again before committing to tape in and go to another option instead.
How long does the tape in the extension last?
If you are taking care of it properly, the tape of the extension can continue 6-8 weeks later, anywhere you want to schedule a maintenance appointment. It is also important to maintain checks by booking with regular appointments with your hairstyle to ensure that you are wearing it for as long as possible.
Things you need to know before tape installation when installing extensions
We recommend booking via chat with a hairdresser who specializes in applying tape-in extensions. They will tell you everything you need to know and help you adapt your hair care routine and lifestyle with extensions. Meanwhile, you can always reach out to a team of friendly hair professionals who can meet you with everything you need to know about tape-in.
It is important to chat with a professional before purchasing hair extensions. The consultation will tell you the best extensions for you and your lifestyle, the amount of hair you need, and how to take care of it.
One of the main reasons for tape in extension slips is that it is an application defect so don’t skip fittings. Always choose an expert and fit the extension, not an untrained person. Using untrained fitters is a false economy. This is because the way tape INS is applied will truly make the world of differences in the appearance and feel of the extension. They are permanent extensions and if not applied properly, they will have a huge impact on your life.
If the tapes of Remy Hair Extensions are skillfully installed, they will not slip. Experts adapt the application process to suit your hair type and texture. Experts can also help with important pre- and post-information information, such as avoiding hair treatments 24 hours before application (this is to prevent the chemical residue from the hair treatment from properly binding the tape). Similarly, they reinforce the importance of avoiding washing your hair or receiving treatment 48 hours after application. This will form a bond and set up the tape.
How to care for tapes with post-application extensions
Wash your hair at the right intervals, use the correct product, proceed easily with conditioner, avoid brushing while wet, and pay attention to tape in.
Do not wash too often
Extension tapes have tapes that take 48 hours to completely heal or bond. After this, you can wash your hair, but not as often as natural hair. Frequently washing the extension will increase the risk of slipping by wearing it with tape. Depending on the greasy speed, you need to find a balance that you are satisfied with. It is recommended that you do not wash the tape with the extension more frequently than once a week. Once your hair starts to look greasy, use a dry shampoo to absorb any excess oil. For more information, please see our blog. Learn how to wash without loosening the tape in.
Use an extended-friendly product
The haircut market is huge. There are so many products to choose from. However, finding the right product for your hair and extensions is extremely important. It is a good idea to choose paraben-free and alcohol-free products. Parabens are linked to cases of cancer and alcohol. However, the biggest enemy of the tape is sulfates. All kinds of sulfates are bad for keratin, and the tape INS is attached with keratin tape. Sulfates wear them and your hair will slip. Coconut oil-based products also damage and weaken the tape. Our quench Thirst Haircare Range is designed to do the exact opposite! Deep moisture shampoo, deep moisture conditioner and deep conditioning hair mask packed with nutrients to restore and rejuvenate are a moist embrace of your hair.
Carefully adjust the extension
Always use conditioner and hair masks, but don’t forget to keep the conditioner away from its roots and protect the tape. The conditioning treatment will damage the bond or cause slipping, so stay on the safe side and apply it from the 3 inches below the root.
Carefully brush the extension
When washing, it is important to remember that wet hair is heavy hair and wet bonds are weak bonds. Carefully brushing wet and dry hair with an extension-friendly hairbrush will prevent damage to your hair and pull the tape to slide. The brush is perfect for dismantling wet, dry human hair extensions and is designed to slide easily from the root to the tip.
