3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the longevity and natural appearance of your tape-in extensions. Please follow these steps carefully:

Pre-Installation Notes:

• Before the first installation, ensure your hair is clean and dry. Do not use conditioner when washing your hair immediately prior to application.
• After the first installation, wait at least 72 hours before washing your hair to allow the adhesive to fully bond.

Installation Steps:

1. Step 1: Prepare Hair Section
   Gently press a section of your natural hair downward, leaving approximately 1 to 2 inches of space between the scalp and where the extension will be applied.

4. Operating and Usage

JoYoung Tape-in Human Hair Extensions are versatile and can be styled just like your natural hair. However, certain precautions should be taken to maintain their quality.

• Styling: The extensions can be curled, straightened, or styled using heat tools.
• Dyeing: The extensions can be dyed. It is recommended to dye them darker rather than bleaching them lighter to preserve hair integrity. Always perform a strand test first.
• Heat Limit: When using heat styling tools, ensure the temperature does not exceed 160°C (356°F) to prevent damage to the hair and the tape adhesive.

5. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life of your JoYoung hair extensions and keep them looking their best.

• Washing: Wait 72 hours after initial application before washing. Use a sulfate-free shampoo and a deep conditioner. Wash gently, avoiding scrubbing the tape areas.
• Combing: Always use a wide-toothed comb or a soft-bristle brush. Start detangling from the ends and work your way up to the roots. Be gentle around the tape bonds.
• Drying: Air drying is recommended. If using a blow dryer, use a cool setting and avoid directing hot air directly onto the tape bonds.
• Dyeing: Only dye the extensions darker. Bleaching or lightening is not recommended as it can damage the hair and affect the tape adhesive.
• Heat Styling: Keep heat tool temperatures below 160°C (356°F).

This graphic outlines essential care instructions: do not wash immediately after application (wait 72 hours), use sulfate-free shampoo and deep conditioner, use a wide-toothed comb, air dry instead of blow-drying, dye darker only (do not bleach lighter), and curl/straighten under 160°C.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your JoYoung Tape-in Hair Extensions, consider the following common solutions:

• Tape Not Holding: Ensure your hair was thoroughly clean and free of conditioner or oils before application. Apply heat with a flat iron for 2-3 seconds to activate the adhesive. Replace tape if it's old or worn.
• Tangling: Regularly brush your extensions with a wide-toothed comb, starting from the ends. Avoid sleeping with wet hair. Braid your hair loosely before sleep to prevent tangles.
• Shedding: Minimal shedding is normal, especially during the first few washes. Excessive shedding may indicate improper installation or harsh brushing. Ensure tape bonds are secure and brush gently.
• Dryness/Damage: Use moisturizing, sulfate-free shampoos and deep conditioners. Limit heat styling and always use a heat protectant. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach.
