- Prepare Hair: Ensure your hair is clean, dry, and free of any oils or conditioners.
- Part Hair: Put your hair horizontally and select the section where you intend to place the extension.
- Expose Tape: Remove the white cover on the tape extension to expose the super tape adhesive.
- Apply First Weft: Place the extension underneath your hair with the tape facing up.
- Apply Second Weft: Place another extension exactly on top of the same position, sandwiching your natural hair between two tape wefts.
- Secure: Press the tape wefts firmly in place with your fingertips for at least 5-10 seconds to secure the hold.
- Seal (Optional): For enhanced security, use a flat iron on a low heat setting over the taped area. Ensure the heat is low to avoid damaging the tape or hair.

Operating and Care
General Care Tips
- Washing: Wash extensions gently with sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Avoid scrubbing the tape area. Wash in a downward motion.
- Drying: Gently pat dry with a towel. Air drying is recommended. If using a blow dryer, use a low heat setting.
- Brushing: Use a soft-bristle brush or a loop brush designed for extensions. Start from the ends and work your way up, holding the roots to prevent pulling.
- Sleeping: Braid your hair loosely or tie it in a low ponytail before sleeping to prevent tangling.
- Swimming/Exercise: Minimize exposure to chlorine and saltwater. Always wash extensions immediately after swimming.
Styling
Full Shine extensions are made from real human hair, allowing for versatile styling. You can dye, perm, or curl them to match your desired look.
- Heat Styling: When using heat tools (flat irons, curling irons), ensure the temperature is under 160°C (320°F) to prevent damage to the hair and tape. Always use a heat protectant spray.
- Coloring: If dyeing, it is recommended to have a professional colorist perform the service to ensure even results and prevent damage. Always perform a strand test first.

- Apply: Peel the hair with the new tape and apply as per the application instructions.
Removal
To remove extensions without damaging your natural hair, follow these steps:
Image: Visual instructions for safely removing tape-in hair extensions.
- Apply Remover: Use a professional product designed for taking out tape extensions. Apply it to the contact part of the hair and tape.
- Wait: Allow the remover to sit for approximately one minute to dissolve the adhesive.
- Gently Peel: Gently peel off the tape. Do not tear the tape too hard, as this might pull your own hair.
- Clean Hair: After removal, wash your own hair to keep it clean. You can then replace with new tapes or reapply the extensions with fresh tape.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tape not holding / Extensions slipping | Oils or conditioner on hair during application; insufficient pressure during application; old tape. | Ensure hair is thoroughly clean and dry before application. Apply firm pressure for 5-10 seconds. Re-tape with fresh adhesive if necessary. |
| Excessive tangling | Improper brushing technique; sleeping without securing hair; product buildup. | Brush gently from ends up. Braid or tie hair loosely before sleeping. Use sulfate-free products and avoid heavy conditioners near roots. |
| Shedding | Rough handling; over-brushing; natural shedding. | Handle extensions gently. Use a soft-bristle brush. Some minimal shedding is normal, especially initially. |
| Hair feels dry or brittle | Lack of moisture; excessive heat styling; harsh products. | Use moisturizing, sulfate-free products. Apply leave-in conditioner or hair oil to ends. Reduce heat styling and always use heat protectant. |
