Keep your hair extensions clean. Tape extensions can slip when you have added oil or product buildup in the roots. That doesn't mean you have to wash them every day, but be sure to use alcohol-free dry shampoo to remove oil and product buildup in-between washes. Follow all recommended product uses, and take really good care of your extensions always being gentle.

It is important that you do not use products with high silicone, sulphates, alcohol, or protein as this may affect the bonds and you may find you get less wear out of your installations

In order for your tapes to work properly, it is important you do not use heat styling at the roots as this will make the tape sticky and hard to come off. You also should avoid conditioners, oils and alcohol on or near the tapes. It is normal for the tapes to become a little tacky after about a week of wear, so don't be alarmed by this.

Keep the hair untangled by taking time to brush the hair every day. We recommend sleeping with your hair in a loose braid, or using a silk hair cap at night time, and never sleep with wet hair extensions.

Every 2-4 weeks, your hair extensions will need to be reapplied to move the extensions closer to the scalp and to keep your hair healthy. The amount of time depends on how long and how fast your own hair grows. The tape is designed to naturally break down over the weeks, but excess oil in your hair and excessive washing with speed up this process. These aren't the same as regular tape-in extensions, they have a shorter wear time. With that it's important to note that it is totally normal for the hair extension tapes to become a little tacky as the weeks pass. Uses of hairsprays, dry shampoo and any oils will also speed up this process.

Yes, it is important to keep the hair brushed and detangled, and you should brush your hair several times a day for this purpose. Begin at the ends of the hair and work your way up. Be sure to hold your extensions at the roots to avoid excess pulling while brushing. Do not comb or brush the hair extensions while hair is wet without holding at the roots, this will cause the tape to slip out.

4. Address Residue (if needed): If you observe any residue after removal, gently apply a small amount of nourishing coconut oil to your scalp. Allow the oil to work its magic for around 30 minutes.

5. Rinse with Shampoo: After the coconut oil treatment, rinse your hair thoroughly using shampoo to cleanse your scalp and eliminate any remaining residue.

Remember, if you're planning to re-install your hair extensions, avoid using any form of conditioner or hair mask on your hair before applying fresh extensions. This ensures optimal adhesion during reapplication.

By following these instructions, you'll confidently achieve a flawless application, turning your hair into a stunning masterpiece. If you have a blunt cut, you may need to get your hairdresser to blend the extensions with your hair or add an extra set of Muse Hair to blend any harsh lines.

We recommend colour matching to the ends of your hair, not the roots. If you're confident in your colour choice skills, focus on the colour at the ends of your hair as this is the part that needs to blend seamlessly with your DIY Hair Extensions. Remember that in most cases you will not see the roots of the extensions at all, and your natural roots will be the dominant colour.

Don't stress if you don't nail the colour on the first try – we offer exchanges for wrong colour matches so long as the DIY Hair Extensions are unused, with the ties attached, and in their original condition. These exchanges must be initiated within 3 days of receiving your order, and you can read our full policy on our Refunds and Exchanges page. Please note that due to hygiene reasons, we cannot exchange used hair.

How do I check that the colour of the DIY Hair Extensions are the right colour once I've received them?

Upon unboxing, hold your DIY Hair Extensions underneath the ends of your natural hair. You're aiming for a smooth colour blend with your own hair's ends. If you hold it up to the roots of your hair, side by side it will almost always look off if you have more than one colour through your hair.

Even if you're a shade or two off, rest assured – it's hardly noticeable. Our multi-strand coloring system ensures that once the DIY Hair Extensions are tucked beneath your natural hair, cut, and styled, they'll seamlessly blend with your own locks. The beauty is that they don't need to be an exact match to look amazing.

If the colour isn't right can I dye my DIY Hair Extensions?

We do not recommend dyeing your hair extensions. If you choose to we only recommend toning your extensions a shade or two darker if needed, but avoid any attempts at bleaching. Each extension comes from a different individual and undergoes a series of treatments to reach the colour and quality they have when you receive them. Colouring them after this process might not yield consistent results, and may cause damage or a loss in wear-time. Please note that Muse cannot be held responsible for issues arising from coloured extensions.

What if I have hair with two different shades? Will the DIY Hair Extensions blend seamlessly?

Certainly! To achieve a seamless blend, match your DIY Hair Extensions to the lighter of the two shades. Alternatively, we offer two-toned options that work perfectly for those with highlights. You can also consult your hairdresser about adding some lowlights to your extensions to mimic your natural hair.

Can you help me with a colour match?

Absolutely. If you're uncertain about which DIY Hair Extensions colour is best, please provide us with some pictures of your natural hair in natural light, showing its full length. We're here to assist you in selecting the ideal hue for your DIY Hair Extensions, whether it's for a casual day out or a lively Saturday night.

There should never be any pain or tension when wearing these extensions. If you experience discomfort, it's a clear sign of incorrect application. In such cases, it is recommended to remove the extensions and reapply them correctly to ensure a comfortable and seamless look. The most common case is that your sectioning hasn't been clean enough, and a hair has landed on a diagonal or in a strange position causing pulling. The extensions are very light so they should not pull down on your hair is installed correctly. The decision of when to remove them and reapply is entirely yours.

If your hair extensions start feeling sticky don't fret, it's a natural phase in their lifespan. The adhesive tape is intentionally designed to break down over time, and it's at your discretion to determine when the stickiness becomes bothersome. The duration of wear at a time varies based on different hair types; those with oilier scalps may notice stickiness sooner, typically within 2-3 weeks. Factors such as hair products containing sulphates or alcohols, along with natural scalp oils, can accelerate stickiness.

Each DIY Extension Kit comes with 120 to 150 grams of hair which are separated in to 7 pieces designed to wrap comfortably around your head. If you have extremely thick hair, or very short hair and are required to blend extensively, then you may require 2 sets. Feel free to email us with some photos for our recommendation at support@museforhair.com

Since a person’s average natural hair loss is between 50-100 strands per day you will see a small amount of naturally released hairs in between the tape bonds at time of removal. This is normal and should not be interpreted as hair loss due to wearing hair extensions. You lose hair every day naturally, but when you have tape extensions the hair remains stuck to the tape rather than falling out as it regularly would.

Muse DIY Tape in extensions are not best for those who have lost a significant amount of hair due to any illnesses or for those that have extreme hair thinning. If you aren't able to place sufficient hair over the top of your tape, they may be visible. Consult with your stylist about another option, or feel free to send us a photo for our recommendation to support@museforhair.com

Yes, when using serums or oils avoid contact with the tape, use on mid-length to ends only.

Yes you can. We recommend using a temperature no hotter than 180 degrees celsius. When using hot tools be sure to use a heat protectant spray, and keep all product and direct heat away from the tapes. The more you use heat on your hair, the shorter the life span of the hair extensions. 

Much like dyeing your hair, we do not recommend toning your hair as it has already been processed and may cause the extensions to dry out quickly. The hair colour doesn't need maintaining, it should remain the same colour for the duration of their lifespan.

We do not recommend dyeing your extensions, as they have already been processed and any additional bleaching may ruin the quality of the hair. As your extensions are not attached to a natural hydration source, and further processing of the colour may cause the extensions to become brittle, dry, and the life-span compromised. If you must colour hair your extensions, only go within 2 shades DARKER and use semi or demi hair colour only. However, we strongly advise against colouring hair extensions.

It is best to use a hair mask once a week to revive your hair extensions. We recommend using a conditioning treatment on the mid-length to ends of your hair extensions. You can use a treatment on your extensions higher up when they have been fully removed and there is no tape on the wefts, but all oils must be completely gone when re-appying tape in order to adhere properly. Remember never to use any oils or conditioners on the roots where your tape extensions are bonded while your extensions are installed, as they will come out. 

We recommend only washing your Hair Extensions if they are holding an odour, or if they are holding product build up. Washing them too often can strip the moisture out of them.

Use sulphate free shampoo and conditioner, and only ever condition the ends of your hair. Conditioner on the tapes will cause them to slide out. 100% natural hair products will keep hair extensions in good condition. You can shampoo your head/scalp as normal, but be sure to check that your shampoo is extension safe.

Use high quality hair care products but don’t overdo it, too much product can cause build up and tangling over time. So you want to be careful with the amount of product you use. Never use any products containing excessive oils, alcohol or ethanol as this can damage the hair extensions and also wear down on the tape adhesive.
