How To Remove Tape In Extensions DIY Style
Removing your tape in extensions yourself may seem intimidating, especially if you’ve never done it before. With the right products and technique, you can do it safely and effectively at home. Take your time, be gentle with your strands, and follow each step carefully to prevent any damage to your hair.
Here’s how to remove your tape in extensions like a pro:
-
Wash and dry your hair before removing your extensions. Clean, dry hair allows the remover to work its magic.
-
Spray the remover directly on the adhesive area where the tape in extensions are attached.
-
Allow the solution to soak in for at least 30 seconds, allowing the remover to break down the adhesive.
-
Use a rat-tail comb to work between the tape tabs. Gently move the comb side to side to help loosen the adhesive bond.
-
If the tape still feels stuck, apply more remover and wait a few more seconds.
-
Slowly and gently peel the tape in extensions away from your natural hair.
-
Comb through the area in a downward direction to remove any remaining residue.
-
Repeat this process on all sections of your hair.
-
Rinse and wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo.
-
Finish with a cold-water rinse to seal the cuticle and add shine.
-
Ensure your hair is completely dry before reapplying new tape in extensions.
