Seal the Deal with Blueberry

If you’re not using a sealing tool you are missing a very important step in your application! 

If you are a professional stylist who does tape in extensions or a tape in extension wearer you know how important it is to start with a flawless application. The steps to a great application are probably very familiar to you: 

• Start with clean/clarified, dry hair. 
• Make sure there is not too little or too much hair sectioned between panels. 
• Keep your sections clean.  
• Make sure your panels are perfectly aligned. 
• Create a solid seal by pressing the panels together. (This last step is where having a tool can make all the difference!) 

You may think that pressing panels by hand is good enough, but trust us..using a sealing tool like blueberry is even better! 

Why? Well we could explain the physics behind it but basically using blueberry multiplies the amount of pressure you can apply to each panel. 

More pressure when sealing the panel ensures that no air is trapped between the panels. When there are gaps or air bubbles between panels it makes way for our hair's own natural oils, styling product, sweat, etc to make its way into the extension panel and cause them to break down prematurely or get extra ooey gooey which makes for an uncomfortable and time consuming removal process. 

A panel that breaks down too soon can cause slipping, sliding, and sad feelings. No one wants their application to fall out, so use a sealing tool like Blueberry and make sure yours does not! 

Blueberry Sealing Pressing Tool: Better Tape Extension Applications

The beauty of tape extensions is how easy they are to apply. Often, that is also its downfall. If you wear tape extensions or if you are a stylists - chances are you have had issues with tapes prematurely slipping and falling out.

Tape slipping or falling out can be due to several reasons. We compiled a list of the things we think are an absolute MUST to make sure your tape in hair extensions last as long as they should.

Tips on Keeping Your Tape Extensions From Slipping or Falling Out

• ALWAYS START WITH SQUEAKY CLEAN DRY HAIR.
• Don't use any products with oil or silicone to style your hair when you apply or reapply tape extensions.
• If you used an oil based remover - thoroughly shampoo your hair and tape extension panels.
• ALWAYS  REMOVE OLD TAPE.
• After applying new tape - tap the panels with a flat iron set to 200 degrees. 2 to 3 times.
• Make sure there is the right amount of  hair in the tape "sandwich" - not too much and never too little.
• Tape panels should align perfectly.
• Use the Blueberry Sealing Tool to evenly press and seal tape sandwiches.
• Wait 48 hours to shampoo your hair.

Meet Blueberry: This unique hair extension tool is an absolute must for all tape in hair extension applications.

Blueberry reduces bond failure (aka tapes slipping out) by evenly applying pressure to the tape extension “sandwich”. 

One of the easiest ways to extend the life of your tape hair extensions is to use the Blueberry tape extension sealing tool. Blueberry reduces bond failure (aka tapes slipping out) by evenly applying pressure to the tape extension “sandwich”. This pressure pushes out air pockets allowing the two tape panels to stick to each other. This creates a tight seal so your tape applications last longer.

This extension tool is a no brainer for anyone who wears or installs tape in hair extensions. Is it worth it?

Does it work? YES! YES! And YESSS! It is one of the most important things you can do to extend the life of your tape in hair extensions. The extra time you get from 1 application is enough value that it pretty much pays for what the Blueberry Sealing Tool costs!
