Although there are many different types of hair extensions, tape-in hair extensions, which are woven into your natural hair with nylon tape, are by far the most popular choice.
They have the most natural look and feel of any extension type now on the market, are simple to apply and remove, and don't harm your hair. What if you want to wash your hair, though?
These tape-in hair extensions may be washed in the shower, but will that make them loosen up?
The Pros and Cons of Drying Tape-In Hair Extensions Naturally
When it comes to caring for hair extensions, preparation is essential, and drying them is no exception.
Letting hair extensions dry naturally is the quickest way to dry them. This isn't the best option, though, as extra-voluminous hair will take longer to air dry.
Many people who have hair extensions are used to blow drying their hair in an odd direction. This is dangerous because the hair extension tapes, which are designed to support the weight of the extensions, must support additional weight when they are upside down and could accidentally release from your scalp.
Tips for Drying Tape-In Hair Extensions Naturally
- The first step in drying your hair extensions is to brush them gently with a suitable hairbrush, making sure to avoid tying up the bonds. It is recommended that you use a brush specially designed for hair extensions.
- When your hair is completely tangle-free, check your bonding or weft to be sure that it has not gotten tangled. Put your fingers in and around your bonding or weft, to pull out any loose hairs that might have become tangled, as well as checking for any disruptive knots.
Conclusion
Natural drying is a possibility for human hair extensions. But it's crucial to look for your extensions by washing them at least once a week and using a good shampoo and conditioner. Tangling or matting may occur if you see the hair's natural oils beginning to accumulate.
