With such a procedure as hair extensions, almost all the fair sex is familiar. Some of them only saw such beauty in their girlfriends, the second read about it in magazines, and the third have already tried it on themselves. But few people know how to remove such hair at home. And this information will certainly be useful to everyone who does not have the financial ability or time to come to the salon on time.

The principle of capsule extension

However, first you need to familiarize yourself with the very principle of such a process as capsule hair extensions. It can be done on any hair - both short and long. However, this primarily depends on the technology used. It happens: capsule, Italian, English, Spanish, tape, Japanese. If we talk about hair that has been extended on capsules, then experts distinguish 3 types.

English technology

Therefore, when leaving, you must strictly adhere to the rules and do not heat your head with a hairdryer or curling iron. Otherwise, artificial hair will simply fall off.

Italian technology

With this technique, you can build up curls on different parts of the head. It can be a bang, and whiskey, as well as the back of the head. The procedure is carried out using special tweezers with a thermostat. The temperature should not exceed 175 degrees. The capsules are heated, and then with their help, artificial strands and your hair are connected.

Spanish technology

With this method of extension, the hair is soldered with a special glue. However, this method can only be used by girls with blond hair. You can grow up to 200 strands at a time. The procedure itself lasts approximately 180 minutes. The capsules that connect the artificial and your hair are quite strong. Therefore, such hair extensions can last from 4 to 6 months. After that, you can carry out a correction or simply remove them in the salon or at home.

Removal tools

Removing hair at home is quite realistic even for inexperienced fashionistas. For this, you can use both gels and liquids. They also contain useful ingredients: vitamins, medicinal herbs or simply extracts from them. In addition to the fact that these tools will help get rid of already bored hair, they will also strengthen them and save them from injury. The tool must be chosen so that it fits exactly under the chosen type of extension. But at the same time, the “reputation” of the product also plays an important role. Therefore, it is useful to find out more information about it before buying.

Furman

It is very often used in salons, however, it is also useful at home. Literally in half a minute, such a tool will make the capsules very soft and help to cope with the process of removing false strands. It is not harmful to hair at all.

It can be used for both cold and hot extensions. It costs within reason.

Rio Profi H-Remover Lotion

It is suitable for removing hair extensions using capsules. Its component is jojoba oil, which will help soften your hair, as well as prevent dry curls. It will be enough to put just a few drops on the capsule itself and after a few minutes the hair will be easily removed.

Severina

Such a remedy is made on the basis of extracts from some medicinal herbs, as well as essential oils. In the bottle, the presence of a dispenser is thought out, which greatly facilitates the process of applying the product. In addition, it does not have any smell. The cost of such a liquid is in the middle price segment.

Arcos Solvent

You can use this tool both at home and in salons. One of its main components is isopropyl alcohol. Such a liquid does not harm your hair, and also does not cause allergies. In addition to these funds, you can use those that are at home. For example, different essential oils.

How to shoot at home?

You can even remove hair extensions in the salon yourself. To understand how to do this, you need to familiarize yourself with the procedure in more detail and understand how to work if the hair was grown using the hot method, and how if it was cold. Masters who work with the hot building method use keratin capsules, which are very afraid of high temperatures, as well as a greasy base.

Therefore, if you decide to remove donor hair at home, you can use both oils and greasy lotions.

The capsules must be softened, and then even long strands will be removed without much effort. You can warm the hair roots with a jet of hot air from a hair dryer or a styling iron. After that, an oily liquid must be injected into each capsule using a syringe. Then you need to apply either a nourishing mask or nourishing oil to both your hair and the capsules.

Next, using a regular comb, you need to carefully remove all donor strands. This must be done very carefully. If your hair is weakened, then it is better to purchase liquid in specialized stores and apply it strictly according to the instructions. If the capsule is not removed, then in no case should it be torn off, because then the hair itself may be damaged. You just need to repeat the application of the liquid and wait a few more minutes.

But with cold extensions, it is better to contact specialists, otherwise problems with hair may arise.

There are several ways to remove artificial hair at home.

First option

First you need to prepare special tongs, with which you can crush the capsules, as well as the remover. First you need to lift the topmost layer of your hair, under which there should be a series of capsules. Further, the procedure follows the same principle as the extension itself. However, this may require an assistant.

First you need to put the liquid on the capsules. You will need approximately two drops. Then, after a few minutes, you need to squeeze each capsule with tweezers and hold until it separates from the hair. Next, you just need to pull it down along with the artificial curl. When all the curls have already been removed, you need to carefully comb your hair. So it will be possible to get rid of the remnants of keratin.

If it still remains, then you need to apply a little of any oil, preferably burdock. Then the hair will be completely clean.

Second option

To remove the extended curls at home in this way, you will need any oil, as well as a mask. Before applying the oil, the hair must be washed and then dried. Next, you need to apply the oil on the capsules, as well as on the hair roots and wait for about 25 minutes. After that, you just need to pull the capsules down along with the curls. If the capsules are not removed, you have to wait another half an hour, then repeat everything.

Third option

Using this method, you will need an iron, which must be heated to a temperature of 170 degrees. Next, you need to take each curl separately, and squeeze the capsule between the ironing plates and squeeze. After half a minute, when the capsule warms up, it must be pulled down. This should be done with all the capsules, and then with the help of a comb, you need to remove the remnants of keratin.

Summing up, we can say that when removing extended curls at home, it is best to use the method that will be the most gentle, that is, it is guaranteed not to damage the hair structure. Also, do not be afraid that a lot of hair may fall out during the procedure, this is not at all the case.

If everything is done correctly, the hair will remain thick.

In addition, you do not need to dilute keratin with acetone, as in the end this can adversely affect the condition of your hair. Using the method of removing with an iron, it is necessary to apply thermal protection to both your own hair and artificial ones. This will protect them from damage later on.

Aftercare

When the procedure is completed, you need to give the curls a little "rest". During this time, they need to be nourished with various balms, as well as masks. It is necessary to do this every day, then they will be able to recover faster, and the hairstyle will become the same. In addition, after removing the capsules, tangles may appear. This is possible in the case when a woman improperly looked after the strands. To get rid of them, you need to apply an oily mask, and then just gently comb through with a comb. However, the oil does not need to be washed off.

Girls often change the length of their hair, but if the experiments are unsuccessful, capsule hair extensions will help to correct the situation. Literally in a matter of hours, the strands become long and voluminous for a long time.

before and after home

The technology is easy to implement, but painstaking and requires certain skills. The procedure takes 2-4 hours, depending on the amount of strands added.

Donors have special capsules that are heated to the desired state and fastened to the hair. Their size is about 3 mm, but the smaller they are, the easier it is to take care of them yourself.

• when the hair falls out - the extended strands will be noticeably heavy for natural curls, so the loss will intensify;
• after perming, dyeing;
• with weak curls;
• owners of fatty strands.

The procedure is suitable for all types of hair over 8 cm long (except for oily ones, as described above.)

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of the procedure include:

• since the place of fixing the extended strands is virtually invisible, this allows you to wear a wide variety of hairstyles;
• ease of care;
• curls do not differ from natural strands, which allows you to reduce shampooing at times;
• correction can be carried out if necessary - once every 3-4 months;
• visible volume.

Flaws:

• difficult choice of a professional who will perform the procedure. The job requires certain knowledge and skills;
• the procedure is long and painstaking;
• We have to think about the cost of lengthening the hair with the capsule method, because the price is quite high.

Having decided to build up curls, entrust the complex procedure not to a novice master, but to a professional. The master will answer questions about where to buy curls for extensions, how much they cost, which is better - capsule or tape hair extensions and how many strands are needed.

Ask the master to show photos before and after the capsule extension of curls made earlier.

What technique to choose

Women are wondering which hair extension is better - tape or capsule, cold or hot. The most popular way to build strands is capsule.

The capsule method is divided into:

• Italian;
• Deutsch;
• Spanish.

There are no special differences between them: keratin capsules help artificial strands to adhere to natural curls. Any length below 5 cm is suitable for the procedure. The process takes longer than the tape method.

Tape extension has a limited use and puts a ban on visiting baths, saunas, the use of a hair dryer, care and cosmetic products, so that the safety of the glue is long. The big plus is the comparatively lower cost.

Performing the procedure at home

Before starting the procedure, cut the split ends so that the extension does not look cheap, check out the various videos on the extension of curls on capsules.

Hair should be dry, when wet, the adhesion points become weak and subject to negative effects.

Always dry your hair and put it in a bun before going to bed. If you do not follow this rule, there may be consequences on the scalp, which will end in loss.

For the procedure you need:

• hairpins;
• a thin comb and a special comb for extended curls;
• curling iron or a special device.

Let's get started:

1. Wash your hair without the use of balm and care products.
2. Divide your hair into sections.
3. Start the procedure from the bottom.
4. Warm up the keratin capsule and attach to the roots with a curling iron.
5. Move gradually to the crown.
6. Finish the procedure, comb with a special comb.

For an independent procedure, purchase Slavic hair. You can buy them in salons or specialized stores.

How to remove donor strands

If you are tired of caring for and wearing artificial strands, you can always take them off.

You can remove the strands extended by the capsule method at home with the help of a special liquid. Soak the capsules well in liquid so that they dissolve, and the strands themselves “fall away” well. Then remove excess hair with a fine comb.

Analyzing the reviews about the capsular hair extension technology and looking at the photos before and after, the result is visually almost invisible.

Care after the procedure

1. Wash your head in the shower without tilting.
2. Apply shampoo to the scalp, be sure to use specialized products.
3. Apply the entire care series only to the tips. So that the strands do not get confused, the masters advise braiding a braid or making a tail.
4. Don't go to bed with wet hair.
5. Correct in time to keep healthy curls longer.

How much material is needed

1. For curls of medium density, 120-155 strands are suitable.
2. If the density is above average, 155-190 strands.

Do not try to build up a lot of curls at once, this can lead to loss. If you want to add volume to your hair, then 70 strands will be the best solution.

Photos of the hair before and after the capsule procedure, as well as positive reviews prove that it is in demand and in demand among women.

Marina Nikitina

The way in which you have to remove hair at home depends on the method by which this very hair was attached, extended or glued. Usually it is enough to take actions that are forbidden for beauties with freshly extended hair. But first things first. What are the types of hair extensions:

capsule Italian or English (hot),
tape cold ("Hollywood"),
Japanese or Chinese (with clips, clips, metal rings),
afro hair extensions (braids),
French (sewing wefts to a braid or braids braided around the head),
Spanish cold.

Removing hair extensions at home is easy if you carefully follow all the instructions.

Advantages and disadvantages of removing hair extensions at home

What are the advantages that push girls to take such an independent step? Here they are:

No need to pay for an expensive procedure at a specialist in the salon.
You will get an experience that will open the world of hairdressing for you.
You will save not only money, but also time, because you do not have to go to the master.
Even if you go to a hairdresser hoping to get qualified help in this matter and pay the amount of money indicated in the price list, this does not guarantee the high quality of the “operation” being carried out. You can try it yourself for free. And in case of failure, it is never too late to seek help in a specialized institution.

Cons of home disposal of donor hair:

You can do something wrong and tangle your hair. After that, you definitely have to go to the hairdresser.
During a home procedure, usually native hair suffers more than experienced professional hands of a master.
With extensions, you will most likely “take off” a few of your own, which will further exacerbate the look of short hair, which you have already managed to wean yourself from if you wear them for a couple of months or more.

How to remove hot hair extensions

As you know, capsule Italian extension is a hot technology for adding strands. It consists in heating and melting special keratin capsules containing donor curls. What is contraindicated for someone who has become the owner or rather the owner of such beauty? You can not heat the capsules, as well as expose them to creams, any fat-containing substances.

This is exactly what you need to do to get rid of annoying curls. Try applying an oily mask for dry or very dry skin. Usually such cosmetic care products are nutritious. But the remedy that will help for sure is pure fat in the form of. Gently spread all over the head so that most of the oil gets on the capsules, and hold for a couple of tens of minutes. Hair removal is also carried out with sour cream (more than 35% fat). After some waiting, gently pull one of the capsules - does it come off easily? If so, do the same for the rest. If it doesn't work, wait some more.

Another way to remove hair extensions using the Italian method is heating.

Use tongs, a flat iron, a curling iron, or a hot hair dryer. Try heating the capsule attachment site. They should melt just as they did when initially attached to your native curls. You can try using an iron, but we warn you that there is a possibility that the device will deteriorate if overexposed. So, take a pre-heated iron and clamp one of the capsules between the planes. Hold for a few seconds. Hear a low hiss, which means the capsule is melting, remove it. Carefully open the flat iron and separate the capsule from your hair. Most likely, there will be a little adhesive keratin mass on the hair - this is nothing. Remove it with alcohol.

If unsuccessful, combine the method of heating with a jet of hot air from a hair dryer with the previous one. Grease the roots first and then apply the heating technique. One of the suggested methods will work. The fact is that fat and heat soften the artificial hair capsules, so they are easy to remove. After removing the capsules by heating, part of the glue (resin, keratin) will remain in the hair. It is combed out or rubbed with fat.

Try also applying a mask for dry hair or a rinse-out balm. Wrap the top with cling film or a bag. You can wear a thick waterproof shower or pool cap. Wait half an hour and the capsules will soften. Alcohol also helps with this method of building. Try dissolving sticky keratin with alcohol. After spreading it on the head, it should be kept for twenty minutes.

If it didn’t work out, although you have already tried all the heating devices and used stocks of sour cream and fat, do not despair. Get some more vegetable oil and a syringe. Warm up the oil a little, draw it into the syringe and gently insert it into the capsule, inject the contents there. The main thing is not to overdo it either in heating the oil or in the amount that you drive inside the ill-fated capsule. This method is quite difficult to perform and exotic, but what if there is no money for the procedure of getting rid of annoying strands?

If you still have funds, but you don’t have enough to go to the hairdresser, purchase a special substance designed to remove hair.

Applying a special agent to the capsule makes it plastic, soft, which helps to remove it.

Take your time and shoot it right away. When buying such a solvent, pay attention to the instructions for use - the liquid must be suitable for the type of extension that was used specifically for your hair - for the capsule type.

The last way is to use pliers. To remove each capsule with hair, you need to press it from different sides with this tool, then they soften from mechanical action. Pull it lightly with your fingers and it will succumb with ease if you conscientiously pressed down on it from all sides.

How to remove cold hair extensions

The cold method of increasing the volume of a hairstyle or changing it has subspecies: afro-braids, ribbons, clips, the French method. To get rid of clips, rings or microclips, with the help of which extensions were attached to native strands, it is enough to arm yourself with small nail scissors, nippers or well-sharpened tweezers. Just gently “bite” the rings with the selected tool and the hair is removed. Tape hair extensions are also easy to remove. If you do not have a special tool, take an alcohol-containing liquid.

Lightly rub the attachment points to dissolve the adhesive. Ordinary ethyl alcohol, sold in a pharmacy, is also suitable. As an additional glue-dissolving agent, a hair dryer is also used. Pre-heat with a directed jet of hot air all the places where the hair tapes are glued, then the procedure will be facilitated. After removing the ribbons, wipe the places where they were fastened with alcohol to remove any adhesive residue.

To get rid of African braids that are braided to your short hair, it's worth a little work. Find the place of interweaving of natural and donor hair. Unravel and unravel the strands that were fixed on the natural hair extensions pigtails. It is convenient to do this with a thin crochet hook or knitting needle. The thinner the pigtails were, the more difficult it is to implement.

If you have made a French build-up, which involves sewing on braids braided at the temples and the back of the head, it will be easier to get rid of them. Try to unweave the structure on your head and the tresses will no longer be able to stay on your hair.

Hair, “glued” by the Spanish method with the help of cold soldering with surgical glue, is usually removed in the salon, as this is a filigree work. If you decide to do it yourself, try to find a special tool for removing Spanish extensions. Some "craftsmen" carry out this procedure using the same product that removes acrylic nails or varnish (acetone-free nail polish remover). But remember that this is a dubious method, since it is artisanal and by choosing it, you act at your own peril and risk.

Using a hair extension remover

Whatever product you buy, make sure it is for your type of donor strands. The removal procedure is as follows:

1 step. Prepare the area for the procedure, hair extension remover and gloves.

2 step. Just in case, cover your shoulders with a towel or put on an old T-shirt or blouse that you don’t mind getting dirty. Don't forget disposable gloves.

3 step. Apply the purchased product to the place where the donor hair is attached, preventing it from getting on the scalp. When using a solvent, be careful not to get a drop on the mucous membranes.

4 step. Wait twenty minutes to an hour depending on the strength of the solder or adhesive. How long does it take for the solvent to start working? If a different time is indicated on the package or label of this liquid, follow this instruction.

A nourishing mask with fat is used to remove hair with a capsule type of extension.

5 step. Apply the mask without rinsing the product from the hair. When interacting with the tool, it is suitable for removing other types of donor curls. Apply olive or burdock oil.

6 step. Additionally, use a hairdryer: heat the application area. It is not recommended to use an iron, as the resin and other bonding agents will melt and flow through the hair and then you will not wash off the substance. An alternative to dangerous heating by electrical appliances is bathing in a hot bath. If you have no contraindications, use this method of gentle warming at this stage.

7 step. Remove hair with a comb, helping if necessary with your fingers.

8 step. Throw away gloves, wash your hair, check for hair extensions on your head. Is there any liquid left? Place in a place inaccessible to children, away from open flames and heating appliances.

Tape hair extensions Not recommended. Choose adhesive or method.

Step-by-step instruction

1. hair needed comb thoroughly divided into zones. Building starts from the crown, in layers. The beginning of the layer goes from the temple, and ends at the second temple, forming a semicircle. Whiskey is built up last.
2. Take the strands out of the package. Separate the top layer of hair at the crown, and secure with a clip so that it does not interfere. Comb the strands again.
3. Divide the adhesive base (adhesive tape for tape extension) strands into two parts. Separate a section of your own hair equal to the width of the section. Secure it between the two parts of the tape, stepping back about a centimeter from the hair roots. Clamp the tape firmly special tongs or just fingers. Hold for a couple of seconds.
4. The first strand is extended, you can attach the next one. Tapes are attached with a gap of about 1-2 centimeters between them.
5. Extensions are performed in layers, starting from the middle of the occipital part of the head. Once you've finished the first layer, move on to the next layer. There should be about 5-7 layers in total.
6. Now you can grow hair on the temporal zone. For this, narrower bands are used.

   Extension is also done zonally, in the form of a triangle. 3-4 ribbons are attached in the top row, 3 ribbons in the bottom row, and 2 in the next row.

Hair extension care

And now let's talk about the features of caring for the strands extended by the tape method. The first rule that you should remember is to avoid getting any cosmetic oils, balms and masks on the tapes, in order to prevent them from peeling off.

The hair itself is washed with shampoo, the balm is used, indented 6-8 centimeters from the roots, on one's own and natural strands.

Purchase special comb for extended hair. When combing, do not touch the tapes, in order to prevent them from slipping. The adhesive base is sensitive to high temperatures, so it should not be touched with curling irons, ironing or a hair dryer too close.

At night, it is advisable to braid the hair in a loose braid. When dyeing or toning, avoid getting paint on the tapes - ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, which are part of ordinary paint, can destroy the tape.

How much is tape hair extension? The term of wearing such a build-up is no more than 6-8 weeks. Usually correction is required even more often if your own curls are growing fast.

When correcting, the strands are removed (how to do this - we will tell below), combed, and if necessary, dyed.

Removal tools

How to remove tape extensions at home? Professionals for removing tape extensions recommend using special products that dissolve the adhesive base and allow you to remove the tapes from your hair. However, these tools have a couple of disadvantages.

The main one is high flow. In order to remove the remnants of glue from your own strands, you will have to spend a couple of bottles of tape extension remover.

In addition, if they get on the hair and scalp, they can spoil them greatly, since acetone or its analogues are usually present in the remover.

Oil

But ordinary burdock oil, or any oily cosmetic oil, is a great helper for removing tape extensions. In addition, when removing strands in this way, you additionally nourish the hair by making a mask.

To make the tapes slide off your own hair, just apply heated oil on them in large quantities, and wait 30-40 minutes. After that, carefully pull the tape off the strand. Residues of glue can be removed with the same oil. Then the hair should be carefully combed.

Instructions for using the remover

To remove tapes with a remover, you will need the actual remover, a comb and free time. If you are unable to apply liquid to the bands at the top of your head, you should bring in an assistant.

Remove ribbons from hair. Residual adhesive can be removed with oil, remover or (as a last resort!) nail polish remover without acetone.

As you can see, strands on ribbons are one of the most convenient and easy ways to build. The process of both removing and attaching the tapes is quite fast, the hair does not suffer much after such a procedure.

Therefore, if you are still deciding which extension method to choose, take a closer look at the tape method.

Long, beautifully styled hair has always been considered the pride of a woman. A thick braid, both in the old days and today, attracts the eyes of others, speaks of the accuracy and health of its owner. But, unfortunately, nature did not reward everyone with long, thick hair. That is why in the field of hairdressing, such a service as professional hair extensions has appeared.

With the help of extended strands, it is very easy to adjust your own length of strands, their splendor, and instantly turn into a real diva. However, artificial strands will not please you forever. Their service life is a maximum of five months. Then it is advisable to make a correction in the salon, or completely remove the extensions and give your own hair a rest. Do not be surprised, even if you remove all the existing beauty in the salon, your native hairs will still become thinner and require care for them - many restorative procedures. And if we talk about home-made removal of hair extensions, then masks, oils and other cosmetic preparations will require much more. Even with the most careful and careful removal of strands that are not your own, some of your own hairs are lost along with them.

How to avoid premature removal of extended strands

Sometimes, with improper care, hair extensions lose their beauty much earlier than the due date of wear. So, for example, it is recommended to braid your hair into a loose pigtail before going to bed, but go to bed with a wet head or rub your scalp strongly when washing, use shampoos that are too thick, and apply conditioner to the hair roots is strictly prohibited. When styling with tongs, a hot hairdryer or flat iron, do not touch hot parts (including directing a hot stream of air) to the attachment points of hair extensions, so as not to damage the capsules or glue.

Do not forget about the quality of work, which depends only on the degree of skill of the stylist. The better the extension is done, the less likely it is that your hair will roll, accidentally fall off, or require correction ahead of time. And, of course, do not forget about the material that is used for building.

For extensions, artificial (the cheapest and least quality strands) and natural hair are used. The latter, in turn, are divided into three types: European (budget option, wearing period no more than three months, the number of corrections carried out - no more than three), South Russian (more practical material that can be dyed and curled) and Slavic hair (the most high-quality, popular and expensive material, wearing period up to five months with the possibility of changing color and styling curls).

Types of extensions and how to remove extensions at home

In this technology, donor strands are attached to relatives with small metal rings. Such microclamps are fixed with tongs resembling pliers. Chinese extensions were banned due to the fact that the metal attachment damages the hair structure, leads to brittleness and loss, and significantly spoils the hairstyle. The period of wearing strands does not exceed one and a half months.

If, nevertheless, you come across an unscrupulous master and grow your hair in this way, at home you can remove the iron rings by biting each one with manicure tweezers. But be prepared for the fact that, along with the rings, it is easy to cut off your own hairs.

Tape hair extension

Tape extensions are much safer and more gentle than Chinese ones. Curls are attached to the roots of native hair in a cold way, using a thin adhesive or keratin tape. In the process of work, the stylist divides the hair into horizontal partings and sets strands with a thickness of two to four centimeters. Correction or removal of artificial locks is carried out after two months of operation.

It is easy to remove such strands at home with a liquid that dissolves keratin (glue) or ordinary alcohol. Before removal, it is only necessary to warm up the attachment points with a hot stream of air from a hair dryer and treat the entire root zone with an alcohol solution. The adhesive fixative remaining on the hair is additionally treated with alcohol and combed out with a comb with fine teeth.

Another method that is cold and completely safe for native hair. Donor hair is attached (sewn) in the occipital and temporal zones to pre-braided thin horizontal braids. The service life reaches two months.

To remove annoying curls at home, you need to unravel all the existing knots, undo the pigtails and disconnect the donor hair from the relatives.

Hot extensions - English and Italian

Both of these methods are hot, that is, when working, the master heats up the adhesive composition with a special tool (portable or stationary tongs, ultrasound). The service life reaches five months. A high-quality and long-term option for attaching donor hair to relatives. Such an extension is not cheap, and a correction in the cabin will cost a pretty penny.

With Italian extensions, strands are used, on which a keratin adhesive capsule has already been applied. It is melted and soldered at a distance of about one centimeter from the scalp. The capsule can be flat, formed by a machine after sealing, or more voluminous, formed by hand. After that, the correction is no longer possible.

The English extension method is very similar to the Italian one, but the adhesive composition (resin or keratin) is not included with the strands, but is squeezed out directly in the process of work with a special apparatus.

At home, it is difficult to get rid of the strands extended by these methods, but it is possible. Be prepared to spend four to six hours on the procedure. Before the process of removing donor strands, a large amount of burdock pharmacy oil is applied to the hair roots and left under a plastic cap for four hours. Oil can be replaced with any available cosmetic mask for very dry hair. During this time, the oil or mask will soften the keratin a little and help get rid of the curls. After softening the capsules, it is advisable to heat them with a hot hair dryer, curling iron or flat iron, and then remove the donor hair.

In any case, glue will remain on your native hair. To eliminate it as safely as possible, it is worth purchasing a remover or replacing it with alcohol solutions. The remover will cost about four hundred rubles. Wetting the remaining glue with liquid, carefully comb it out with a comb with frequent teeth. Having a remover available, you can do without the procedure for applying oil.

Spanish hair extension (Rueber Ice Extension)

Spanish extensions are a way to get a luxurious mop of hair in less than two hours after a visit to the stylist. In this case, hot tongs will not be used. Instead, the master will prepare the glue and its activator directly. The strand is first glued to native hair, then a small capsule is formed from the glue, no more than a grain of rice. With timely correction, you can wear long hair for a whole year.

You can remove your own hair extensions using the Spanish method with a liquid that dissolves nail polish or acrylic. The capsules are moistened and, after softening, the donor strands are removed.

Of course, in various life situations, there is not always time or opportunity to visit a specialist for strand correction. When removing hair extensions yourself, be prepared for the possible loss of natural hair and the need for their treatment after the procedure.

Ways to remove hair extensions

Hair extensions are the most popular way to lengthen curls, characterized by a natural result and relative durability of socks. To remove hair extensions, you will have to pay a considerable amount in the salon, but this can be done at home without significant financial costs.

Capsular (keratin) and tape hair extensions are technologies, the principle of which is based on connecting your own hair with natural strands using keratin or glue capsules. These methods are the safest compared to other methods used. They are used for all types of hair (including dry and brittle), allow you to maintain their natural structure and prevent possible damage.

1. Capsule extension. Suitable for owners of any hair length over 15 cm. The process is carried out in 3 ways:

• Italian technology - involves the use of specialized tongs with a thermostat, the maximum temperature of which does not exceed 180 degrees. Allows you to build strands in the occipital area, at the temples and in the bangs.
• English technology - capsules are fixed with a glue gun. Typically used on the back of the head. Frozen capsules, fixed with glue, are sensitive to temperature changes, which can cause premature slipping of artificial strands.

Spanish technology - the essence of which is to solder the hair with a surgical two-component adhesive. This type of extension is suitable only for fair-haired girls. As a rule, 150 - 200 curls are built up per session. The duration of the procedure is 2 - 4 hours. Capsules that fasten the joints between their own and donor strands are highly durable, which ensures a fairly long period of wear (4 - 6 months). After this time, they must be removed or corrected.

2. Tape extension. The most gentle and quick option to get long hair.

• German technology - attaching hair on adhesive tapes to relatives. For a full extension, only 40-60 strands are required. The stripes are almost invisible. The disadvantages include the wear period of 1-2 months and not a strong fixation of the tapes.

Instructions for removing strands at home

Removing capsular hair extensions and tape is a rather laborious process that requires increased concentration and utmost accuracy.

Special preparation before the procedure is not required. All you need is the right equipment and plenty of free time. The choice of hair removal products depends on the extension technology, as well as the type and structure of the hair:

To remove capsular and tape extensions, all the options described below are suitable.

1. Use of various liquids and tongs

For capsule extensions:

• Gel remover (Kerasolve - price range 350 - 600 rubles) is the simplest and most effective remedy. Promotes the destruction of the keratin composition, is applied directly to the place of adhesion for 5 - 30 minutes (according to the instructions stated by the manufacturer).
• Liquid products (Severina, Lady Victory, Belli capelli - the cost of the product varies from 110 to 1000 rubles per bottle) - are characterized by a similar method of processing the keratin capsule, however, due to the liquid consistency, they are less economical and can cause damage to healthy hair and scalp.
• Solution for removing varnish from nails - used in the case of Spanish (cold) building.

The softened capsule is easily separated from the hair with forceps. Instead of pliers, it is allowed to use a comb with wide teeth, but this increases the likelihood of injury to native hair. All means for dissolving keratin can be purchased at specialized stores.

For tape extension:

• liquid of intensive action (from 500 rubles) - apply the composition to the tape and wait 30 seconds, after which you can remove the strand itself. Be sure to comb your hair to remove any glue residue.

2. Folk remedies

To soften the capsules (glue), vegetable oil (most often burdock or olive), a fat mask or sour cream with a high percentage of fat content are used. The agent is generously applied to the root area, and the head is wrapped in plastic wrap or a bag.

The time for the destruction of the joints is 5-6 hours, after which the capsules are separated with tongs, and in the case of tapes, glue the strands with your hands.

3. Heat treatment

Removing artificial hair with a hair dryer, curling iron or ironing. To do this, each capsule (tape) must be applied (burdock or olive) and heated until softened. For ironing and curling, the heating time should be no more than 10 seconds - option only for removing capsular hair extensions!

For a hair dryer, the connection processing time can be slightly increased (no more than 20 seconds). High temperature contributes to the rapid destruction of the substance, therefore, immediately after heating, it should be immediately removed along with the false strand. It is better to do the work slowly, alternately processing and removing each curl separately.

During operation, part of the composition remains on the hair, which requires additional treatment of the hair with oil or another special liquid to completely remove the remnants of the resinous substance.

What to do after removing the strands

At the end of the process, the hair must be carefully combed with a comb with thick frequent small teeth. This is necessary to eliminate the remnants of keratin (glue), fallen hairs and tangles.

If desired, damaged ends can be trimmed. The final step is to wash your hair with a special shampoo that has a deep cleaning effect, and use a balm or a regenerating mask.

The most pressing problem that occurs after the removal of artificial strands is damage to your own.

After hair extensions, even with the most careful care, the formation of tangles is not ruled out, which, if the capsules are removed on their own, can become even more tangled. In most cases, the only option is sometimes to cut them off.

Hair care

After removing the strands, hair needs intensive nutrition, so it is recommended to use various care products to restore them. For these purposes, various masks (kefir, honey, egg) and oils (castor, burdock) are well suited.

Such funds are recommended to be used up to 3 times a week. Regular use of nourishing, strengthening and regenerating masks promotes active hair growth, restores their natural shine and elasticity, and restores their healthy appearance.
