Tape-In Extensions: Wear & Remove Guide
How to Wear and Remove Tape Hair Extensions
Tape hair extensions are a sleek, semi-permanent way to add volume and length. Here’s your step-by-step guide from Gix Hair on how to wear and remove them safely and effectively.
How to Apply:
-
Prep Your Hair – Start with clean, dry hair. Avoid using heavy conditioners or oils near the roots.
-
Section Hair – Part your hair horizontally, starting from the nape of your neck.
-
Peel & Stick – Remove the backing from the tape and press the weft under a thin section of your hair. Press another tape weft on top to sandwich your natural hair in between.
-
Press Firmly – Use your fingers or a flat iron (on low heat) to apply pressure for a secure hold.
-
Style as Desired – After 24–48 hours, you can wash and style your hair as normal.
How to Remove:
-
Apply Remover – Use a professional tape-in extension remover or alcohol-based solution directly on the tape.
-
Gently Peel Off – Wait a few minutes and gently peel the tape apart without tugging on your natural hair.
-
Clean the Area – Remove any residue with a clarifying shampoo or gentle cleanser.
-
Let Hair Rest – Before reapplying new tape-ins, give your hair a few days to breathe.
With proper care, Gix Hair tape extensions can be reused and reapplied for multiple wears. Always consult a stylist if unsure about installation or removal.
