Hey guys and welcome to my channel, I'm Jana and in today's video I'm going to show you some tips and tricks on washing your hair. When you have tape in extensions, so I'm going to wash my hair and then I'm going to come back and blow dry and style, my hair. So I'm going to show you how I do that too. So this is your first time having tape and extensions and you're. Like can I wash this? How do I wash this, then you might find this video helpful and keep watching ok, so tip number one is don't wash your hair extensions more than once a week, and I say your hair extensions, not your hair, I'll, get into that in a second, but I Feel, like washing your hair extensions once a week, prolongs the life of your hair and makes it look better and last longer than the long run, washing it more often kind of dries it out and honestly, it's kind of a hassle so once a week is what I would recommend now we know what you might be thinking girl if I'm only washing my hair once a week, my roots are going to get really greasy. Don'T worry. I have a tip for washing just your roots, which I'm going to mention in a second, but tip number two is invest in a good dry shampoo. It'S honestly going to be your best friend. I recommend the cheese there's a topical sponges, one that smells like pineapples and coconut, which is amazing. So this is what my hair looks like after one week of not washing it. It'S looking a little crazy, there's, so much dry. Shampoo buildup in here is not even funny like look at that, usually for the last three days or the last few days of the week I'll style. My hair in a braid, which slide kind of looks a little wavy just to keep it out of the way, and so I can make it to wash day, which is today. So that leaves me to my third tip tip number three, if you can't make it for the week and you need like a midweek refresher. This is what I'll do I'll just section off the top of my head: that's oily and gross, and I need to wash it plus all my natural hair. So I'll just show you basically it's like your leave out. So I'll just take the top section, which is all my hair. So that's the tape in and I'll just tie that out of the way I will wash that just because we don't want to mess with the bond unless you wash your hair, the more your bonds will last. You know what I mean so a section off the top of my natural hair. Just like that and it'll take the clips like this. You got a little bit of extension in there, but that's okay. So there we go I'll just section off the top part and then I'll tie the extensions away. I don't have a hair elastic right now, but just pretend tie it away like in a bun and then just shower carefully do so in the shower I'll. Just take out the clip and go like this and then just shampoo and conditions tie it up. Let the conditioner sit in there for a little bit and then rinse out that conditioner and then, when I come out I'll, just blow dry, the top part and then you'll feel so much better. And you won't have to touch your hair. And it's just like a midweek refresher, you'll feel so good and your hair will look better and then you're not messing up with your bonds or your extensions. That'S because when you wash your hair, your hair gets heavier I'll start to pull on the bonds, making them slip a little bit, and that goes that's the same case with any kind of extensions. As soon as your hair is wet, it'll start to pull on the bonds, making your tape and slip your fusions slip, your micro links you're. So in as soon as that extra weight is there it'll kind of weaken the bond which we don't want, which is why we wash your hair extensions once a week, because the less you wash your hair at the last year bonds will flip and the longer your Hair will last, which is what we want so that'll, be Fiza how I actually wash my hair in the shower. So washing your hair, when you have tape in extensions or extensions in general, is not that much different than washing your hair. When you don't have them, you just have to be a bit more careful, so typically I'll go in the shower wet. My hair, shampoo, my roots, and you know, give it a good scratch because you probably have a lot of product build up if you're, not washing. Your hair, more than once a week so give it a good scrub and scrub between the bonds as well. Just don't like go crazy because then you're going to cause tangling and matting, so just be gentle and so wash your hair to three times and then what I'll do is. Since my hair see me really heavy you're going to feel it pulling on your bond I'll, go like this and restaurant on my shoulder and when it's why it will stay there easier and I'll put conditioner on the ends and then kind of leave it there to Letting the shore work and do a straw for you know a few minutes wall shut, Rin says the conditioner and rinsed out really good make sure you do a really good rinse, because, especially between the bonds, you don't want shampoo, buildup and stuff like that. Give it a good rinse and then you're done pretty much so as far as shampoos and conditioners go. You want to pick products that are sulfate free and don't use a shampoo. That'S a volumizing shampoo because it's going to add, lift to your roots and mess up with your bond and don't use one that's too moisturizing, because that can cause your bonds with your tapes to slip as well. So it's a little tricky to find a good one, but make sure it's sulfate free, maybe you're, clarifying one to get rid of the buildup and use a really good, deep conditioner and only put it from like mid-shaft down. Never ever ever put a conditioner on your bond because that's we mint or like your tape, that's going to cause them to slip. I'M going to try this one. I haven't tried this one yet, but I'm going to give it a go right now. It'S the Marc, Anthony macadamia oil one and then I have been matching deep conditioner which I'm going to put on the end. So let's see how that goes I'll, be right! Back, okay, I'm back so I literally just got out of the shower and what you want to do is how will dry your hair. So what I do is just go like this and squeeze the excess water out. So it's not like drippings and you obviously never want to rub your hair with a towel that just causes breakage whether or not you have extensions. You don't want to be doing that, especially if you have extensions you're, gon na be matting up your hair, so just squeeze dry and then what I do is take a little bit of this. I love this stuff. It'S the John Frieda Frizz Ease thermal protection. Serum prevents frizz and breakage smooth split ends from the damage of high heat tools. I love this stuff, I'm almost out of this bottle. This is like my third bottle, so I take maybe like two pumps, I'd be a little bit more and then rub it in between my hands and run it through my hair just again, like mid, shot down, focus more on the end and just run that through So this is going to be my heat protection um to protect me from the blow dryer and then I take a whi to comb and then gently comb through my hair, and I forgot to mention that before you go and shampoo your hair, that you should really Brush it make sure that it's tangle free before you go and put water on it, because otherwise it's going to be a nightmare. It'Ll just make your life so much easier. If you brush your hair before you shampoo it so I'm just kind of starting at the bottom and then working my way up so as soon as the bottom part is tangle free. You go up a little higher and work out the tangles and then make your way down again and then go back up and work out the tangles at the top. Until all your hair is tangled right - and I also like to hold my hair as I'm brushing it so that it's not pulling right from the tapes or the bonds of the top it's pulling from where I'm holding my hair, if that makes sense, so you're never Going to be yanking at your bonds or your tape. So now that my hair is relatively tangle, free, I'm just going to go through it with a blow-dryer, really quick and you want to make sure your bonds are pretty dry but don't put like direct heat on them. Just kind of you'll see [ Applause ]. So my hair is still pretty damp, I'm going to let it air dry a little bit longer before I go through it with a round brush and a blow dryer, so I'll be right back. Okay! So now that my hair is relatively dry ish, it's a little damp, I'm going to start the blow drying process so blow drying it with a round brush is pretty much the same process whether or not you have hair extensions. You just section off and section off. Your hair and work section by section so I'll show you how I do it. I usually start at the bottom and then work my way up. So I start by drying off the tape first and then I'll work my way through the rest of the hair. So this is what my hair looks like after I blow dried it and to finish off the look, I'm just going to run through it with a flat iron. I'M going to put a little bit more of this in my hair to protect it and thats. That also acts as like kinda, like a shine 0, which is kind of nice, just put that on the ends, and it smells good and I'm gon na brush it through this, and I like that product because it leaves my hair silky, not sticky. I feel like some heat protectants like your hair, kinda, sticky and then chunky. I don't like it guys. I forgot my normal size flat iron, so I have to use this dinky travel-size, one we'll make do it'll work just fine, so I'm just going to take sections and run my flat iron through it. So this is the final look of my hair being clean. It'S so nice so that pretty much wraps up my video.

I was so nervous about washing my hair because I currently wash my hair everyday since it is so thin and oily! But now that I have seen this video I feel so much more confident in getting tape ins! Thank you for all of the advice!! ❤️❤️
Crystal Stackhouse: OH MY GOODNESS! That tip about the shower was AMAZING! I have naturally blonde hair and the oil is REAL. But the worst part is my roots get sooo dark and people think I get my hair dyed. Thanks for the tip cause I'm getting my tape ins put in soon.
Alison Meacham: thank you! I am new to tape ins, and was terrified to wash for the first time. Your video absolutely helped me feel a lot more confident in the process. You rock!!
Eli Resurreccion: I’m so glad I’m not the only person who does the mid week wash the top bit. I was my whole head only like once a week with extensions but I have a lovely really full finge/bang situation going on and have a bad habit of running my hands through my hair throughout the day so I need to wash the top bit and my fringe like atleast once midweek depending on what I’ve been doing and if I’ve been sweating and it’s like extra greasy.
Cora Whipple: I’ve worn clip ins for 12 years and just got tape ins for the first time 2 days ago!! I was going to wash them tonight but this video changed my mind. Definitely helpful, thank you!!
Suzanne: I just had my hair done for the first time today, so thank you so much for this video

heydominique: oh wow! I just found this video and your channel, sooo helpful!!! I just ordered some tape ins for the first time and this is a big help! how did you end up liking that brand of shampoo and conditioner after using it for a while? thats one of the more affordable options and if it worked for you I'll go pick it up. new sub :) also side note your background is so pretty, love the greenery!
Julie Bohannon: THANK YOU!!! This totally helped more than any other video and I’ve watched a LOT of them haha
Michelle: You're never supposed to let the tape dry naturally for any length of time. With that said not sure how long you let it air dry. Leaving the tape damp can make them gummy etc and cause them to slip. If anything you blow dry the tapes and let the rest air dry. So again not sure how long you left the tapes damp but they should not be damp for any length of time. Should be dried pretty much right away.
B MONEY: I am thinking about getting tape ins and this video was very informative. Thank you so much. And your hair looks great!
Evy Wolf: Since I got my hair tape in extensions I only wash my hair 2 times a week beginning of the week and at the end of the week
Jianna Castellano: Girl your hair looks good after a week of not washing ! I've been training my hair to only be washed once a week for awhile now and it's finally not getting as greasy as fast.
Brittany Ehlert: Your video was very helpful and very incisive I plan on getting tape extensions cuz I just went from a brunette to a full-on blond and my hair is kind of short and I've been thinking about getting extensions now that I know that I can at least get them wet once in awhile I think I'm going to go through with it
Ashley Purcell: So I have had tape ins for a while. I love them. Ive noticed that SOMETIMES there’s a little smell to them even when I use shampoo and conditioner recommended by a beauty supply store. How do you get the smell to go away?? I’ve had that problem twice now and took a while to get the smell to leave the hair.
dvc blue: You are absolutely adorable!!! Thank you for the wonderful tips :0)
Jordan: I tried only washing my hair once a week with tape ins. My hair gets greasy easily considering I also work out a lot. Literally all of them were slipping out because of how greasy they were. The grease causes them to slip. My stylist then told me I should wash them every two days. So I'm not sure how you only wash them once a week and they're perfect on you and all of mine were slipping out.
Angie: Loved your tips! I have had my tape in for a year now. Got some new ones put in on my yr anniversary. Love them and yours are very pretty☺ what is the name of the thermal protect shine cream that you are using again?
natalie hutchins: Olaplex products are great! Both for your natural hair and extensions. I apply the conditioner in 3 to 4 braids and line the sink with a plastic bag so I can catch the excess conditioner. Good tips!

丂丂ㄒ丨匚Ҝ乇尺: I love hotheads tape in extensions, but I hate brushing them after the wash. I normally get 18-20 inches two packs, so it’s pretty thick and time consuming..... hotheads are the best quality, however it’s high maintenance due to its frizziness and it tangles up throughout the day and especially after a wash

Cee Bee: Hi everyone, can someone please answer one question. CAN YOU SWIM WITH TAPE IN HAIR EXTENSIONS REGULARLY? I spend a lot of time at the beach and in chlorine water and I want to know if they will hold well or damage my hair if I swim a few times a week?
crazyforcats19: I have a question. I don't know if you know how to answer this, but I got a pink hair extension as a highlight from Ulta and I really want it to last as long as possible. How long should I expect it to last washing my hair twice a week? And how do I tell when I should get it removed? Will it obviously start sliding out/falling out? Also, I have this bad habit of touching the tape/bond/whatever it is to make sure it's not showing. Does touching it cause it to weaken and not last as long?
Alex Kess: Your eyes and smile wow!

But maybe it’s all just in my head
Smile it’s Mads: Just installed my own tape ins 3 days ago & am terrified to wash it! This was sooo informative! Loved it thank you!
