HAIR EXTENSION TIPS & TRICKS QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Tips for removal of any hair extension when using tape-in method

Your hair should be wet never dry when doing a take down.

Best to always use warm first while doing a takedown because it will loosen the adhesive on your tape.

Important: Never dry your hair before removing any and all adhesive if you still feel it in your hair.

When using hair extension remover like C-22 or Super Solv 

Repeat: it's really best to have wet hair not dry as wet hair can really help loosen your adhesive.

It's best to do one weft at a time do not spray your entire head just do each weft at a time.

You can use a pick comb end to open your wefts to get the remover inside your sandwiched weft.

1. Just spray a tiny section at a time on each weft top and underneath let sit for at 5-10 min or longer if needed. 

2. While waiting for the water and remover to start to working you can rub with your fingers in a circular motion if need be to really get the remover to loosen any adhesive between your wefts and then once you have removed your wefts you can just keep combing in short strokes gingerly all the way down the hair shaft if you have any adhesive that you can still feel and then wash that weft and section with it with your moisturizing shampoo and then rinse and condition let it sit and then move on to the next weft. 

You might even keep it wet and conditioned while your doing the other part of your hair

Then move on to the next section and so on ..until removed and it feels clean.

You can also try a Q-tip if there is area that is giving you a hard time, you can try just dab a tiny bit of either 99% alcohol and this can be very drying to your hair so 77% it may be better for the sensitive customers. 

If that's all you have on hand, keeping in mind you do NOT want this on your scalp because it can be very harsh and may even feel hot so with that said do not spray it on your head.

It's always good just to use a tiny dab with a Q-tip and be gentle take your time and do not pull on your hair and alway just go very slow.

Tip: Heating your tape while installing the sandwich method 

If you like, you can heat up your taped-in hair extensions using a blow dryer and then squeeze them together. 

Why? due to it being to hot and can harm the tape or single side backing and the truth is that it can it melt away the small amount of adhesive that is on your tape and then it wont hold as well.

When doing an install, do not wash your hair for at least 2 full days, and do not use conditioners right on your wefts because it can loosen your tape quicker. It’s best to not use any conditioners that are oil-based or keratin-based as these will loosen up your tape. If you can find a conditioner that is not oil based or keratin in it then a few times a week shouldn’t be a problem. Just not everyday!

For best results, and you have fine single sided tape should be installed underneath your hair because no matter how matte a single side tape is it can shine through very fine thin hair.

If you want to heat your weft once it is made like we show in our videos please always use low heat-100-or less. 

Then while pressing or tapping softly your weft together you won't damage your tapes or white tape backing or your single side backing because heat can burn it and melt the single side tape and you don’t want to make a weft only to burn it using way to hot of a flat iron.

You can always use a blow dryer if you like that will work just as well.

Can I use it as a backing instead of tiny single side tape tabs YES

It's also great if you are applying it to a pre-made hair extension.

No need for tiny tape tabs using our single side is better because its more tape more hold no slipping or falling out because the tabs are just not enough adhesive to keep a great hold.
