Care Guide- Virgin Tape

Pre-Installation Preparation

• Clean Hair Thoroughly: Start with clean, residue-free hair. Avoid using any oily or conditioning products before installation, as these can interfere with the adhesive.
• Dry Hair Completely: Ensure your hair is completely dry to maximize the adhesive’s effectiveness.

Installation Tips

• Even Sectioning: Carefully section your hair into thin, even layers. This allows the tape extensions to adhere securely and evenly, reducing the risk of slippage.
• Avoid Scalp Contact: Place the tape extension slightly away from the scalp (1-2 millimeters) to prevent discomfort and reduce tension on the roots.
• Align Tapes Perfectly: Make sure the top and bottom tape sections align perfectly to ensure a strong bond.

Post-Installation Care

• Avoid Excessive Heat: For the first 72 hours after installation, avoid using high-heat styling tools, as they can weaken the adhesive and cause the extensions to slip.
• Minimize Touching: Try not to touch or play with the tape area frequently, as this can degrade the adhesive strength.
• Washing Guidelines: Use a sulfate-free shampoo to wash your hair, focusing on the scalp and avoiding the tape area. When conditioning, apply the product only to the mid-lengths and ends to keep the tape adhesive intact.

Ongoing Care & Maintenance

• Regular Check-ups: Every 4-6 weeks, inspect your extensions for any signs of loosening or slippage. If needed, reapply or replace the adhesive to maintain a secure hold.
• Gentle Handling: Be gentle when brushing and styling your hair. Start from the ends and work your way up to avoid pulling on the extensions.
• Nighttime Protection: Tie your hair in a loose braid or ponytail before bed to prevent tangling and reduce strain on the extensions.

Removal and Reapplication

• Professional Removal: For the safest removal, use a professional adhesive remover designed specifically for tape extensions. This helps prevent damage to your natural hair.
• Reapplication: If you plan to reuse the extensions, clean the wefts thoroughly before applying new adhesive tape.
