HYDRATION BOOST

Next, if your hair extensions have lost their shine and are feeling a bit dry, give them good wash with a hydrating shampoo and conditioner. We often recommend washing your hair extensions if you notice a change in their appearance or feel. Once fresh and clean, up the hydration and apply a deep conditioning treatment to bring them back to their original soft & silky condition.

SMOOTH STYLING

Once you’ve washed and treated the set, it’s time to style them. To get them feeling super silky, smooth over with a straightener whilst brushing through the hair. This is our top tip to reduce frizz and bring back their shine! Check out exactly how to revive your hair extensions using this technique below.

SAFE STORAGE

Last but certainly not least, correct storage is key! To avoid this whole process and prolong the life of your hair extensions, it’s super important to store them correctly. And no, a shoebox doesn’t cut it! The best way to store your hair extensions is in a protective case like our Protect Me Bag. This handy little bag is a case and carrier in one. It zips up neatly and can be hung in your cupboard, out of sight and protected from humidity and other nasties. This is seriously vital for all hair extension lovers!

How to Blend Tape Hair Extensions

THE RIGHT HAIR CUT

Getting your hair cut or shaped prior to application is the number one tip on our list!
If you have a blunt haircut or a heavy line to the bottom of your hair, there is a good chance your new locks won’t blend.
Get your hair thinned out on the ends (seems ironic doesn’t it) or add lots of layers to take away some weight. This will stop you from having that obvious line where you hair ends and the hair extensions continue.
THIS ladies is how to blend tape hair extensions most effectively!

STYLING

You may find that when you wear tape hair extensions, you need to spend a little extra time in the morning styling. Running a straightener over your hair and the extensions with a fine tooth comb or creating some soft curls will ensure a nice and polished result and convince your friends and colleagues that you know how to blend tape hair extensions!
Some ideal styles include:

Sleek and straight
Soft curls
Plaiting
Half up half down
A low sleek ponytail

HAIR CARE

Using high quality products on your hair extensions – sulfate and protein free, will make sure you are keeping your hair extensions in good condition and therefore not creating frizzy or dry ends.
If they are in good condition, they are easier to style, if they are easier to style they blend more naturally!

GETTING THEM SHAPED

The best thing about tape hair extensions, is you can cut and shape them to your needs.
This will make them look they belong in your hair and they will look much more natural.
If you are using tape hair extensions for lots of added length. You will want the ends of your hair to be thinned out quite a lot so there is no line where your hair ends however you will also want to shape the extensions in a little around the face. This will create a natural gradient around the front.
This is really vital on how to blend tape hair extensions.

NOT GETTING ENOUGH PIECES

If you try to skimp on cost by not getting enough pieces, you can guarantee you will be compromising the final result.
The average person needs minimum 40 pieces (2 packs of ZALA tape hair extensions) for the extensions to be positioned properly and blend perfectly. If your hair is considered very thick, opt for 60 pieces!

We hope some of these tips and tricks were helpful, we think these are the most important points to knowing how to blend tape hair extensions and they should really help to create the style and look you always wanted!
