3. Installation Guide
Proper installation is crucial for the longevity and natural appearance of your tape-in extensions. Follow these steps carefully:
- Preparation: Before installation, ensure your hair and scalp are clean and free of conditioner. Conditioner can reduce the adhesion of the tape.
- Sectioning: Section your hair horizontally where you intend to place the extensions. Use clips to secure the upper sections of your hair.
- First Tape Application: Take a thin strand of your natural hair. Lift off the white tape backing from one extension piece and carefully stick it under the sectioned hair, close to the scalp.
- Second Tape Application (Sandwich Method): Take another extension piece. Remove its white tape backing and press it directly on top of the first extension, sandwiching your natural hair between the two tape pieces. Ensure the tapes align perfectly.
- Secure Adhesion: Apply heat to the taped section using a flat iron for several seconds. This helps to activate the adhesive and ensure a stronger, more secure bond. Repeat this process several times for optimal adhesion.
- Post-Installation: Avoid shampooing your hair for 48-72 hours after the initial application to allow the adhesive to fully set.

4. Usage Tips
To maximize the lifespan and appearance of your extensions:
- Styling: The extensions can be straightened or curled. Always use a heat protectant spray. The temperature of a straight iron should not exceed 356°F (180°C).
- Coloring: Extensions can be dyed to a darker color. They cannot be bleached to a lighter color. It is recommended to consult a professional for any coloring services.
- Length Reference: The length of the hair is measured before curling. Refer to the provided image for visual length references after curling.

5. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your JoYoung hair extensions:
- Washing: Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Avoid applying conditioner directly to the tape attachment part.
- Drying: Gently tap the hair dry with a towel. Do not rub vigorously. Air dry or use a low-heat setting on a hairdryer.
- Combing: Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush specifically designed for extensions. Always brush from the bottom up to prevent tangling and stress on the tape bonds.
- Sleeping: Do not sleep with wet hair. Before sleeping, put the tape extensions into a loose ponytail or braid to prevent knotting and tangling.
- Deep Nourishment: Use a hair mask or essential oil regularly to keep the extensions moisturized and healthy.

- Remove Original Tape: Carefully peel off the old tape from the extension weft.
- Prepare New Tape: Take a new replacement tape strip. Tear off the protective cover.
- Apply New Tape: Align the new tape strip with the weft and firmly press the hair onto the new adhesive.
