• Inconsistent result. The tapes themselves can be used for more than a year, but after a couple of months you will have to carry out a correction. Its essence is to remove the tapes, wash them properly and attach them again. The fact is that in the process of wearing, the girl's own hair grows, as a result of which the ribbons shift.
• Sometimes ribbons give themselves a characteristic brilliance, but this happens extremely rarely.
• The impossibility of modeling some hairstyles.

Contraindications will be only for girls who have allergic reactions. However, even in this case, you can pick up tapes that are made from natural materials and do not cause allergies. In addition, refuse to conduct tape building should be in cases where the girl has wounds or ulcers on her head.

• The head should be washed no more than 2 times a week, and it is better not to stand under the shower at all: too much water pressure can adversely affect the fastening, as a result of which the hair will shift.

• When drying hair, you do not need to squeeze it. It is best to use a towel and carefully walk through your hair.

• It is recommended to comb no more than 3 times a day. The process should begin at the tips, and the roots should be given close attention so as not to harm them.

• It is recommended to wash your hair with shampoo, which contains no additional components: they can adversely affect the stickiness of the tapes, as a result of which the curls will simply fall out.
• Do not go to bed with her hair loose.

Beauticians and masters have been arguing for many years about how harmful tape hair extensions are and whether it is worth resorting to. However, it can do some harm.

• Tape curls are fixed directly at the roots of the hair, therefore, materials for fixation are constantly in contact with the scalp. Certain components can cause allergic reactions that cause itching, redness, or burning.

• Attachments often interfere with hair breathing, which causes dandruff and other problems.

• In some cases, hair extensions involve exposure to chemicals, which can adversely affect their condition.
• Increased curls need careful care, however, some girls neglect the rules, and this leads to peeling of the curls.
• There is an opinion that hair extensions not only slow down the growth of your own hair, but can also cause intense hair loss.The fact is that if the bulbs are weak, then they can not cope with the load from artificial hair, which will cause irreversible damage to the follicles.

With a competent approach, you can avoid most of the negative consequences and make sure that the procedure does not harm you. First of all, it is worth choosing an experienced specialist who has the necessary skills to conduct building at the highest level. In addition, give preference to artificial hair from trusted manufacturers.
