Must-Know Warnings

🔹 5 Critical Do’s & Don’ts

1. DO Prep Hair Properly
   • Wash with sulfate-free clarifying shampoo (no conditioner/oils!).
   • Why? Oils weaken adhesive bond.
2. DON’T Place Too Close to Scalp
   • Leave ¼ inch gap to prevent:
     • Pulling discomfort
     • Premature slippage
     • Scalp irritation
3. DO Use the “Sandwich” Method
   • Natural hair must be thinner than the tape tab (1cm max).
   • Pro tip: Hold wefts vertically to avoid folding.
4. DON’T Skip the Press-and-Hold Step
   • Adhesive needs 10+ seconds of firm pressure per tab to bond fully.
5. DO Stagger Rows Like Brickwork
   • Alternate placement 1cm apart for seamless volume.
