For those of you using tape in extensions, you’ll eventually have to take them out using hair extension remover. But did you know there are two main types of removers? As you shop for removers, you’ll notice there are both oil-based and alcohol-based hair extension remover options.
How do you know if you should use oil or alcohol to remove tape in extensions? Our hair extension experts at Big Kizzy will weigh in to help you decide when it’s best to use each type of remover. Let’s get into it! Should I Use Remover with Oil or Alcohol to Remove Tape In Extensions?
After a few weeks of wearing your tape in extensions, it’ll come time to remove and reapply them with fresh adhesive. But which remover should you use? Ultimately, this depends on your personal preference and what works best for your hair needs. We’ll cover everything you need to know below!
Alcohol-Based Hair Extension Remover
If you want a quick removal and application, use an alcohol-based remover. It leaves zero oily residue, so you don’t have to worry about washing the hair afterward when you're on a time crunch. Especially if you’re only moving up a few extensions during a reapplication, this will be your go-to option for keeping the hair residue-free.
Oil-Based Hair Extension Remover
If you want a thorough and gentle removal process, use an oil-based remover. When you need something a little stronger, like when extensions are left in too long, an oil-based remover is the way to go. While it does leave an oily residue behind, it will remove very sticky tape and any adhesive in the hair. Once you wash the hair after removal, you’ll have soft, clean hair to work with for reapplication.
