Common Hair Extension Questions

Question from @emily_says_meow

"Can you put your hair up if you tape ins?" 

Answer: 

Absolutely! This all depends on application, so going to a hairdresser with experience in tape hair extensions is vital. Make sure you let them know you intend to wear your hair in a high ponytail and they should be able to work with that!

Question from @taymuhvic 

"I'm going on holidays with my tape ins what should I take with me to keep them in great condition?" 

Answer:

Lucky you! Protect your ZALAs like they are your baby! Wear a hat when possible and always rinse the salt water out of your hair as soon as you get out.

Bringing along a leave in conditioner to the beach will be a lifesaver for them!

Question from @rachhpollock 

"What is the best way to make sure my tape ins do not dry out?"

Answer:

To make sure your ZALA tapes stay nice and healthy:

• Use hair masks regularly and ZALA Revive Me after EVERY wash
• Braid your hair while you sleep and use a ZALA silk pillowcase to reduce knotting
• Limit your washing and use dry shampoo!

Question from @sydney.wilson.hair

"What hair extensions blend best with thick hair?" 

If your hair is naturally quite thick, stay away from cheap brands! All ZALAs are thick to the very ends but our QUADWEFT extensions are the ultimate in thickness. Alternatively, 80 pieces of tape extensions would give you what you need!

Question from @taylamathewson 

"Is coconut oil good for tape extensions?" 

Answer: 

Coconut oil, or any other hair oil is great for tape in extensions however just make sure you stay very clear of the tape bonds and roots of your hair as this will cause slipping. We also stock Revive Me which is a great everyday treatment oil!

Question from @julia_longmuir 

"How do I blend my 20 inch hair extensions with my short hair? Love your extensions by the way, best I've ever had 

Answer: 

Thank you for the love! It can be tricky to blend hair extensions with short hair however it can be done!

Making sure you layer and shape your extensions will give them more dimension. Also, adding curls or waves will distract from any harsh lines. Alternatively, going with a slightly shorter length can be much easier.
