The Best Hair Extensions for Athletes

Read Time: 1 minute, 30 seconds

Yes, you can still wear hair extensions while working out

For anyone who loves movement and regularly wears hair extensions, exercising while wearing them is something no one ever thought was possible. It's not just that they can come off while in the middle of a session; the post-workout maintenance can seem daunting. How will hair extensions look after being exposed to so much sweat and oil?

While traditional extensions often loosen or tangle during physical activity, Covet & Mane's The Coveted Tape wefts are designed to stay in place whether you're lifting weights, running a marathon, or flowing through a hot yoga session.

For athletes or anyone who works out every day, that means less time in the chair and more time focused on training and releasing endorphins without worrying about slippage. 

Here's how The Coveted Tape has changed the game:

Durability for High-Impact Activities

From CrossFit to swimming, these tape-in extensions are built to be tough against slippage but gentle on your scalp and strands. They're also water-resistant and silicone-free, preventing frizz and breakage, even in wet conditions. 

Stylist Justin McKay notes, "The non-slip tape holds up even after hours of training." Even athletes can enjoy long-lasting, luscious hair without compromising on quality or durability.

Comfort for Long-Term Wear

Everyone deserves comfort while feeling like their best selves, and The Coveted Tape delivers just that. The lightweight wefts lie flat, offering a natural look that’s easy to wear under helmets, hats, or swim caps. "This product marries comfort with creative freedom," as Founder and CEO Dafina Smith explains, ensuring anyone, especially athletes, can train hard without discomfort or worry.

Hair Extensions Tips for Active Lifestyles

Keeping The Coveted Tape extensions in top shape is so easy, even if you live a highly active lifestyle. Here are a few tips to keep them looking flawless:

WASH REGULARLY
Wash your hair regularly, but be gentle with your extensions. For the best results, use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. Make sure to focus on your scalp and let the product rinse down to the extensions without scrubbing too much on the wefts so they don't tangle.

DRY & STYLE WITH EASE
After workouts, gently pat your hair dry with a towel. Avoid rubbing, as this can cause knots. When blow-drying, use a cool setting and avoid direct heat on the tape.

PROTECT HAIR WHILE SWIMMING
If you swim regularly, consider applying a light layer of leave-in conditioner and wearing a swim cap to protect your extensions from chlorine or saltwater. After swimming, rinse your hair immediately to avoid buildup that could loosen the tape
over time.

AVOID THE WRONG HAIR PRODUCTS
Steer clear of oily or heavy styling products, like creams, near the roots where the extensions are taped, as this could cause slippage. Stick to lightweight, water-based styling products for the best results.
