Have you ever faced the awkward situation where your tape-in hair extensions suddenly come loose or the adhesive fails?Replacement Tape restores adhesive holding power for tape-in extensions and reduces slippage when applied correctly.
What is Replacement Tape?
Tape-in replacement adhesive tape is a specialized bonding accessory for Tape-in hair extensions. Its core advantages can be summarized in four key points:
American white glue
Formulated to be low-irritant and water-resistant; follow the manufacturer’s instructions and patch-test before first use.
low-visibility
Standard size: 4cm × 0.8cm, transparent/skin-tone design, can be trimmed to fit different hairstyles, nearly invisible when applied to hair extensions.
Easy to use
Double-sided adhesive design requires no additional glue, suitable for both DIY projects and professional salon use.
Safe and residue-free
When removed correctly using a recommended remover, adhesive residue can be minimized. Always follow the removal procedure to avoid hair damage.
Replacement Procedure
Remove old tape
Spray on adhesive remover, then gently scrape off any remaining adhesive residue with a wooden tool once it has dried completely.
Pre-treat hair
Comb through hair and detangle knots. Wipe the roots with an alcohol swab. Allow hair to dry completely before proceeding to the next step.
Apply new tape
Peel off the backing of the new tape, press it onto the cleaned hair extension piece, then sandwich the extension1 piece between your own hair and the tape. Hold firmly for 10 seconds to secure.
Permanent Sealing
Use a low-temperature iron to heat the hair through the fabric. Avoid washing or styling your hair for 24 hours.
Key Considerations
Thorough cleaning
Before replacement, clean adhesive residue and oil stains from the hair extension clips and roots using oil-free alcohol wipes.
Completely air-dry
Both your hair and the hair extensions must be completely dry before application; moisture will weaken the adhesive bond.
Proper Storage
Unused tape should be sealed and stored in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and moisture.
Skin Test
Before first use, apply a small piece of tape to your wrist or behind your ear and observe for 24 hours to check for any allergic reactions.
When should I replace the hair extension tape?
- The tape feels brittle and peels off easily.
- Hardened adhesive residue accumulates on the connector plate.
- The hair extensions shifted within 2 days.
- For most users, replacing the adhesive tape every 4–6 weeks maintains bond reliability; adjust frequency based on activity level, hair oiliness, and product performance.
