How to prepare Skin Weft Hair for installing the tape-in method

admin — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 15:39:18 +0000

If you plan on using Hair Shop Usa Skin Weft for the tape in method it is important to prepare the hair correctly for a lasting hold. It is recommended to wipe down the skin weft area with a little alcohol on a tissue to remove any residue or oils to ensure a strong attachment with apply the tape. (Any oils from your fingers on the skin weft or tape will interfere with a strong attachment. After adhering the tape with the backing still attached to the exposed side, you can slide a flat iron across the weft to provide a more secure hold. It is also recommended to purchase a liquid tape or glue to apply when sections start to loosen.

REMEMBER: The hair section that you are sandwiching between the two skin weft pieces MUST be very thin in order for the top skin weft to adhere to the bottom skin weft. Too much hair in between the skin weft will not allow the two pieces to join with each other, therefor not allowing the tape to attach and bond to each other.

Tips for keeping your Hair Extensions smooth and tangle free !

admin — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 15:33:38 +0000

Tip #1

It is recommended to brush your hair daily using a hair extension brush. Hold your hair in a ponytail style , brush DRY hair in a downward motion starting from the very bottom, working your way up.

Tip #2

We also recommend using a hair treatment on them every couple weeks, because the hair is not attached to your scalp, it is not getting the oils it should be. Using a treatment/hair mask will help keep them looking healthier and shiny for longer! ( just remember to avoid the attachment area when applying any masks /conditioners or oils )

Tip #3

You will find that you don’t need to wash your extensions too much. (just use shampoo on your scalp, and let the water rinse it through the bottom, do not rub shampoo through the extensions this will cause tangling. It is highly recommended to use a moisturizing detangling solution after washing. (avoiding attachment areas) This will assist in retaining moisture in the hair and easier comb out.

Tip #4

When blowing, styling, or hot iron styling your hair, use extra caution, and lower settings, to avoid too much heat damage. Over use of heating tools will dry out the hair more quickly causing more tangling and/or dryness.

It is best to let your hair extensions dry naturally after washing them. If you do plan on using hot tools, it is best to apply a heat protectant prior to heat styling.

Tip #5

If you are in ANY chlorine or salt water, you MUST rinse well with shower water. Do NOT go to bed with it in your hair, the chlorine / salt water will weaken the attachment area and dry out extensions.

Lighter colors are processed more; resulting in a little more of a dryer texture then darker colors ( just like if you colored or bleached your own hair) using these tips will aid in keeping your extension healthy, shiny and longer wear.
