Falling Out? Common Causes & Fixes

Causes & Fixes of tape ins not sticking

Solutions to keep your hair system secure and natural-looking

Understanding the Problem

If your hair system is falling out, it can be frustrating and embarrassing. But don’t worry—this issue is often fixable! Below, we break down the most common reasons why hair systems fall out and how to prevent it from happening again.

6 Reasons Why Your Hair Keeps Falling Out

Poor Surface Preparation

Natural oils, dirt, or product buildup on your scalp can weaken the adhesive, causing your hair to fall out prematurely.

Incorrect Application Technique

If you don’t apply enough pressure when securing the tapes, the bond won’t be strong enough, leading to your hair falling out.

Humidity & Sweat

Excessive moisture (sweat, humidity, or swimming) can loosen the adhesive, making your hair fall out faster.

Improper Tape Storage

Storing tapes in extreme heat or cold can degrade the adhesive, reducing its stickiness and causing your hair to fall out.

Oily or Fine Hair

If your scalp produces excess oil or your hair is very fine, adhesives may not hold well, increasing the risk of your hair falling out.

Defective or Old Tape

Expired or damaged tapes won’t stick properly, leading to slippage.

How to Fix

Use a clarifying shampoo before installation to remove oils and residue. Avoid conditioners near the roots, as they can create slippage.

Press firmly for 10–15 seconds on each tape section to ensure a secure hold.

Avoid heavy workouts or saunas for the first 48 hours after installation. Use an anti-humidity spray if you live in a moist climate.

Keep tapes in a cool, dry place (15-25°C) away from direct sunlight.

Apply a scalp primer or oil-control product before installation.

Replace tapes every 2 weeks and check for manufacturing defects before use.

How to Prevent

Use a Silicone-Free Shampoo

Silicone leaves a residue that weakens adhesive bonds. Switch to a clarifying shampoo for a cleaner base.

Avoid Moisture for 48 Hours

After installation, keep your hair dry for at least two days to let the adhesive set properly.

Replace Tapes Regularly

Old tapes lose grip over time. Change them every 2 weeks for maximum security.

Check for Allergies

If your scalp gets irritated, you may need a hypoallergenic tape to prevent reactions that loosen the bond.

Hello, I received a pack of tape in extensions and when they arrived the adhesive was stuck together, it appears as if it was heated, possibly from hot temperature during shipping? I tried applying however they do not stick well and only a few were useable from the adhesive already being warmed.
