How to wash hair with Tape in extensions?

1. Before getting into the shower, brush the hair: To brush the hair 2-3 times every day. Brushing your hair before stepping into the shower is always a good idea.

4. Carefully brush and towel dry the hair: After getting out of the shower, give your hair a gentle brush. After that, dry your hair with a towel. Starting at the top of the hair, work your way carefully down the shaft of the hair until you reach the tips. Do not rub the towel into the hair.
