Tape ins/Pre-Bondded Hair Extensions/Sew in Hair Extensions/Micro Beaded Hair Extensions

1. Washing & haircare guide 💧

The Golden 48-Hour Rule: please wait 48 hours after tape ins/u-tip hairextensions installation please before washing to allow the adhesive to fully cure. This is a critical first step to maintaining a long lasting fit!

🧴 Specialized hair care routine:

  • Must use sulfate-free shampoo (sulfates break down the adhesive)
  • Conditioner zoning: Apply only from mid-lengths to ends, avoiding the tape-ins at all costs
  • Water temperature below 38°C (100°F) (lukewarm is ideal)

🚿 Professional washing technique:

  • Wash with your head flipped upside down to prevent tangling
  • Use fingertips to gently massage in downward strokes only
  • Rinse with water flowing downward, just like salon pros do!

💨 Drying secrets:

  • Air-dry whenever possible (keeps extensions naturally smooth)
  • If blow-drying: Low heat + 6-inch distance + constant motion
  • Use a microfiber towel to press out water—never rub!

2. Daily brushing

🛡️ Tool recommendations:

💆 Golden Brushing Rules: ▸ Brush 2–3 times daily (morning/night/after workouts) ▸ “Three-step” method: Hold roots → brush mid-lengths → then gently detangle ends ▸ For knots: Spray detangling mist and patiently work through section by section

  • Wide-tooth comb: Essential for beginners
  • Loop brush: Stylist’s favorite
  • Boar bristle brush: Advanced care must-have

3. Protection zones 🧴

🔥 Heat styling warnings:

  • Flat irons/curling wands must stay ≤150°C (300°F)
  • Always apply heat protectant (creates a shielding barrier)
  • Never let hot tools touch tape-ins directly

🏊 Swimming precautions:

  • Pre-swim “Protection Trio”:
    • Coat hair with conditioner
    • Wear a silicone swim cap
    • Deep-clean immediately after

🧪 Banned ingredients

4. Overnight care 🌙

🌜 Nighttime Protection System: ① “Protective Braiding” before bed:

  • French braid
  • Low ponytail braid
  • Loose bun ② Silk pillowcase + bonnet combo ③ Keep hydrating spray bedside

5. Professional maintenance 💇

Schedule:

  • 4–6 weeks: Salon visit for reinforcement
  • 8–10 weeks: Adhesive replacement recommended
  • 12 weeks: Full deep-conditioning treatment

⚠️ Emergency Protocol: Book a salon appointment immediately if: → Tapes shift more than 1cm → Notice pulling sensation → Feel adhesive irritation

💡 Pro Tip: Monthly “adhesive tests” with specialty strips to monitor bond integrity—prevention is key!

(Note: Enhanced with pro tool recommendations, exact timelines, measurable standards, and emergency protocols—making it both luxurious and practical!)

Clip in Hair Extensions/Wire Hair Extensions/Ponytail Hair Extensions

1. Comb with haircare guide

Be Gentle with Your Glam Your extensions deserve royal treatment! Always use a wide-tooth comb or a soft-bristle brush (we love boar bristle brushes for that salon-quality smoothness). Here’s the golden rule: start from the ends and gradually work upward in small sections to prevent tugging.

Pro Tip: Spritz a leave-in conditioner or detangler spray before combing. Not only does this melt away knots effortlessly, but it also adds moisture – say goodbye to breakage and hello to buttery-soft strands!

2. Wash Gently

Spa Day for Your Extensions Think of washing your clip-ins like caring for fine silk! Use a sulfate-free, extension-friendly shampoo (look for nourishing ingredients like argan oil or keratin). Here’s how to do it right:

  • Fill a basin with lukewarm water (hot water damages the fibers!)
  • Gently swirl the hair in shampooy water (never rub or twist!)
  • Apply conditioner only from mid-lengths to ends (avoiding the clips)
  • Rinse until the water runs completely clear (residue is the enemy!)

Fun Fact: Washing every 7-10 wears maintains freshness without over-stripping natural oils. For bonus points, do a monthly deep conditioning treatment!

3. Dry & pamper

The Art of Perfect Maintenance After washing, resist the urge to wring out your extensions! Instead:

  • Gently squeeze out excess water with a microfiber towel (regular towels cause frizz!)
  • Lay them flat on a clean towel or hang to dry (never sleep with damp extensions!)
  • For quicker drying, use a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment on cool setting
  • While slightly damp, apply 2-3 drops of argan or marula oil to the ends for mirror-like shine

Celebrity Secret: Some stylists recommend storing slightly damp extensions in silk wraps to maintain perfect wave patterns!

4. Style smartly

Heat Without the Hurt Your clip-ins can rock gorgeous curls or sleek styles – if you play it safe:

  • Always prep with a thermal protectant spray (apply section by section)
  • Keep styling tools below 180°C (356°F) – the sweet spot for style without damage
  • For curls, use a ceramic barrel iron and hold for just 5-7 seconds
  • Want color? Opt for semi-permanent dyes or consult a pro – bleaching is a hard no!

Hot Trick: Before clipping in, style your extensions first! This minimizes heat exposure to your natural hair.

5. Bonus: storage secrets

  • Always store completely dry in a satin pouch (fold neatly, don’t cram!)
  • Place silica gel packets in your storage case to prevent humidity damage
  • For wavy/curly extensions, use the “pineapple method” to preserve bounce
