Usually, the tape adhesive of one piece new tape hair extension can be used for around 3 months or more, but the hair can be last up to more than 6 months even to 1 year.
So when the tape is not so sticky attached on your hair, do not throw it. Absolutely, they can be re-used. You just need to prepare two tools. One is glue remover, and another one is a tape roll.
Removing Tape Hair Extension
Apply pre remover to the top edge of the extension. And make sure to let the remover soak in the tape.
Pure Remover is biodegrade able and made of 100% natural cosmetic-grade ingredients. So you don’t need to be concerned whether it will damage your own hair.
Use your finger to separate extensions, and then gently pull out of hair. Do not forcefully pull on extensions.
If the extension does not slide out easily, add more remover, wait a few more minutes and retry.
Re-taping the Extensions for re-use
After removing the tape extensions, and before washing them, remove the old tape…
While still wet with remover, pull off the old tape from the extensions.
Inspect for old adhesive. Bond should appear clean and shiny.
Before applying new tape, wash the extensions and the bond area with clarifying shampoo to get rid of all oils. The lengths of the hair can be conditioned, but do not get conditioner on bond area.
The extension bond has a shiny side and a dull side.
Lay extension with shiny side facing upward.
Apply tape to bond and cut along the edge.
That’s it!
You’re now ready to re-use your tape extensions.
Many love doing their own hair extensions. They look fantastic and have gathered a lot of experience in doing so.
