If stored at cool temperatures and outside of direct sunlight, the tapes will last at least 1 year. In our experience, tapes under these conditions have even lasted longer, but we do not recommend this to our customers.

It is best to maintain and store our Hair Replacement and Hair Extension tapes outside of direct sunlight, with limited humidity and at around 72°F or 22°C. However, storing tape at 72-77°F is sufficient.

We recommend NOT to apply any direct heat to Hair Extension tapes as it may jeopardize the adhesive’s strength and hold. All of Sunshine Tape’s Hair Extension tapes are pressure sensitive adhesive and not heat activated adhesives. The application of direct heat like a flat iron would void any warranties or guarantees made about Sunshine Tape’s Hair Replacement and Hair Extension tapes.

We always recommend conducting a skin patch test prior to using or applying any product on a client. A skin patch test is a great way to check for any allergies, irritations, or reactions to various substances and ensures the hair replacement products, adhesives or tapes you use are the best choice for your client. Follow the steps below to perform a skin patch test:

1. Apply a small piece/amount of product on your client in a spot where the skin is sensitive and visible such as behind the ear. Prep the area with a solution of at least 99% alcohol to clean the skin before you apply it.

2. Cover the area with a protective bandage to keep everything in place as the client goes about their day. The bandage also serves as a barrier to the elements that could change how the skin reacts.

3. Allow the tape to sit for at least 24 hours before checking for any signs of an adverse reaction. Some common symptoms of irritation include redness, itchiness, or a burning sensation.
