Steps to wash tape in hair extensions
Detangling tape in hair extensions

You need to immersion the hair with water before straightening and be careful if you don’t want them tangled. To avoid this mess, a comb can be used to gently separate the hair starting from the bottom and gradually moving to the top of the extension.

Wash the shampoo completely out of your hair with water. Apply a suitable conditioner to your hair. Same as when shampooing, you rub the conditioner in several places all over your hair and gently massage.
Wash off conditioner

Dry Your Hair
Pat your dry hair with a soft towel and if possible, let your air-dry hair. If you must blow dry it, use a dryer with a diffuser attachment, and avoid holding the dryer directly on top of the hair. Dry the extensions part of the hair first and then dry the rest of your hair from the ends up.
