Hairdresser: How do you feel about your new tape-in extensions?
Client: I love them, they look so natural! But I'm worried about the aftercare. What should I keep in mind?
Q: I'm glad you're happy! Care is crucial to keeping your extensions looking their best for a long time. First, when washing, please continue to use a mild, oil-free shampoo to gently cleanse your hair.
K: Okay, I'll keep that in mind. And how often should I wash my hair now?
Q: After applying the extensions, I recommend washing your hair every two to three days. Avoid using harsh, degreasing shampoos to avoid damaging the adhesive on the tapes.
K: Understand. And what about conditioner?
Q: A moisturizing conditioner is still ideal. Apply it only to the mid-lengths and ends. You need to leave the hair at the scalp near the tapes out. Then let the conditioner work for a few minutes and then rinse thoroughly.
K: Good to know. What about styling products?
Q: Sometimes less is more. Avoid styling products containing alcohol and silicones, or use them sparingly on the lengths. These can make the tapes slippery. And if you use heat, remember to use heat protectant.
K: One more question: During sports?
Q: Good point! When exercising, especially while swimming, it's best to tie your hair in a ponytail. Actually, it's also healthiest for your hair when sleeping. This prevents tangling and protects the extensions.
K: That's helpful, thanks! Is there anything else I should avoid?
Q: Yes, avoid damp hair. Wet hair should be dried as quickly as possible. In summer, you should also make sure that sunscreen doesn't touch your hair. Otherwise, I think you're well prepared for long-lasting enjoyment of your new extensions!
K: Perfect, thanks for the tips! If I have any further questions, I'll get back to you.
Q: You're welcome! Enjoy your new extensions, and don't hesitate to contact me if you need any help.
