Investing in Portia & Alexa Tape Hair Extensions means investing in high-quality, 100% Remy human hair. Like any luxury item, they require proper care to maintain their beauty, softness, and longevity. With the right routine, your extensions can look flawless and last through multiple applications. Here’s a complete guide to caring for your Portia & Alexa extensions and keeping them in their best condition.

Start with Proper Installation

The foundation of long-lasting extensions is proper installation. Whether done at home or in a salon, tape extensions should be applied on clean, product-free hair. Using a clarifying shampoo before installation helps the adhesive stick more securely. Avoid applying conditioners, oils, or serums near the roots or tapes before or right after application.

Wait Before Washing

After installation, it's crucial to wait at least 48 hours before washing your hair. This gives the tape adhesive time to fully bond. Washing too soon can weaken the tape and cause slippage or early lifting.

Use the Right Hair Products

To keep your Portia & Alexa extensions soft and vibrant, always use sulfate-free and alcohol-free shampoos and conditioners. These gentle formulas help maintain the natural moisture of the hair without stripping it. Avoid applying conditioner directly to the tape bonds, as it can cause the adhesive to break down.

Gentle Washing and Drying

When washing, gently massage your scalp and let the water flow through the hair without aggressive scrubbing. After rinsing, pat the hair dry with a towel—never rub. Let your extensions air dry when possible, or use a blow dryer on a low heat setting while using a heat protectant spray.

Daily Maintenance Tips

Brush your hair daily using a loop brush or a soft bristle brush. Start at the ends and work your way up, holding your hair at the root to avoid pulling on the tapes. Tie your hair in a loose braid or ponytail before sleeping to prevent tangling. A silk or satin pillowcase can also help reduce friction and preserve your extensions.

Styling with Heat Tools

Because Portia & Alexa extensions are made with 100% Remy human hair, they can be heat-styled just like your natural hair. Always use a heat protectant and avoid excessive temperatures to keep the hair smooth and damage-free.

With consistent care and attention, your Portia & Alexa Tape Hair Extensions will stay gorgeous, glossy, and comfortable wear after wear. Treat them well, and they’ll reward you with salon-quality hair every day.
