How To Take Out Tape In Extensions 

Using Remover Spray to Take Out Tape In Extensions

First things first, it’s important to know the proper steps involved in the removal of tape in hair extensions. This ensures you remove the extensions without damaging your hair.  It also makes things much easier for you and your client if you’re a professional stylist. You want to have the best possible outcome, so following the correct way of removing the extensions is crucial.  

Here’s how to remove tape in hair extensions

  1. Using a remover solution, spray directly on top of the tape tab in the hair. 
  2. Wait a few seconds to allow the remover to saturate the adhesive thoroughly. 
  3. Carefully separate the tape tabs from each other. If they still feel stuck together, apply more remover. 
  4. Once fully loose, gently remove the extensions from the hair without pulling or tugging. 
  5. Wash the hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove any leftover residue (or oil if you used an oil-based remover.) 

Now, to keep track of tape tabs during the removal of tape in hair extensions, we have a few pro tips that can help! As you remove and separate each tape tab, place them on a clean, flat surface like a piece of paper or a tray. This way, they won’t get mixed up with the other tape tabs. You can also use the tip of a rat tail comb to gently lift and separate the tabs while removing them from the hair, making it easier to keep them organized.
