This article summarizes 4 practical tips for avoiding tape extensions damage on Christmas: Avoid steam from hot foods/drinks during gatherings to prevent tape softening; Smooth and secure hair, then remove the Christmas hat from back to front to avoid snagging; Store properly and use gentle care while traveling; Keep special tape handy, replace or temporarily fix loose extensions timely.
1. How to Prevent Steam Damage During Gatherings?
During the Christmas season, people often drink hot chocolate, eggnog, or eat hot soup and freshly baked Christmas cookies. These hot foods and drinks, when in close contact, produce steam.
If you hold a cup and drink with your head down for a long time, or lean in very close to blow on hot soup, the steam will come into concentrated contact with the tape at the roots of the hair extensions.
Especially for hair extensions that have been worn for 3-4 weeks, the tape may soften slightly due to heat, which can easily stick to the surrounding hair. This may cause hair pulling when removing hair accessories, or even lead to loose hair extensions.
It is recommended to keep a slight distance when drinking hot beverages or eating hot soup. You can also let the hot drinks cool down a little before drinking—this way, it won’t affect the taste, and you can avoid problems caused by steam.
2. How to Avoid Snagging When Wearing a Christmas Hat?
Before putting on a Christmas hat, gently comb the hair extensions until they are smooth. Then use a few small hairpins to slightly secure the hair at the roots on the top and sides of your head. This not only reduces friction between the hair extensions and the hat but also doesn’t ruin your hairstyle.
When taking off the hat, do not pull it up directly. Instead, press the top of the hat with your hand and slowly take it off from back to front—this way, it won’t easily snag the hair extensions. If your hair looks a bit messy after taking off the hat, gently scratch the hair roots with your hands or lightly comb the ends with a comb to quickly restore volume.
3. How to Care for Tape Extensions During Travel?
When packing, put the hair extensions in a storage bag. This not only prevents tangling but also maintains the shape of the hair extensions.
When drying your hair with a towel, choose a towel with a soft texture. Instead of rubbing back and forth, gently press the hair like blotting water to absorb moisture—this prevents tangling. If you’re worried that the hotel towel isn’t soft enough, you can pack a thin small square towel in your bag in advance, specifically for drying the hair extensions. It takes up little space and is very practical.
When using a hair dryer, remember to set the temperature to medium-low and the wind power to medium. While blowing, gently tousle the hair with your hands and avoid holding the hair dryer too close to the tape at the roots of the hair extensions. This allows you to dry the hair quickly without damaging the tape.
4. How to Handle Loose Tape in Extensions?
Keep a small pack of special hair extension tape in your bag. If the hair extensions become loose, directly replacing the tape is the safest option.
Alternatively, if replacement isn’t convenient, use clean fingers to press the tape vertically and hold it for a few minutes—this can temporarily secure the hair extensions.
If you happen to have hairspray with you, you can use it to temporarily fix the hair extensions, and then replace the tape in a timely manner when you get home.
