Tape-In Extensions: Maintenance Tips
Austin’s mix of hot summers and poolside weekends means extensions need a little TLC. Our stylists recommend: Gentle cleansing: Wash with sulfate-free shampoo, keeping conditioner away from the tape bonds. Dry with care: Pat dry and avoid rough towel drying. Heat styling: Safe on human hair extensions — just always use a heat protectant. Protect at night: Sleep with your hair in a braid or ponytail to prevent tangling. Pool & lake days: Coat your hair with leave-in conditioner before diving into Barton Springs or Lake Travis. With proper care, your tape in extensions can last 6–8 weeks between reapplications.
