Ashy Blonde Balayage Invisible Tape in Virgin Hair Extensions(#8/8/613)

Brush Your Hair Extensions Gently

Use a wide-tooth comb or a soft-bristle brush to detangle your tape-in extensions, starting from the ends and working your way up. This helps prevent pulling on the tape and minimizes shedding. Be extra careful around the tape area to ensure the adhesive remains intact and avoid causing the extensions to slip. Regular brushing helps keep your extensions smooth and manageable

Wash with Care

Washing your weft hair extensions less frequently can significantly prolong their lifespan. Aim to wash your extensions only when necessary—typically every 1-2 weeks, depending on your lifestyle. Daily or excessive washing can strip the hair of its natural moisture, reducing its durability. If you wash your natural hair more frequently, use dry shampoo or focus on cleansing only the scalp to keep your extensions fresh between washes.
Use a gentle, sulfate-free, and alcohol-free shampoo and conditioner to preserve the hair’s softness and natural appearance. Allow the extensions to air-dry naturally or use a blow-dryer with a heat protector on a low heat setting.

By washing your extensions sparingly and with care, you can maintain their quality and extend their lifespan.
