Tape-Ins
Tape-ins are typically the easiest to remove because of how gentle the application process is on the hair. Beauty lovers prefer tape-ins because he feels they present less wear and tear while they’re installed and during removal.
This type of extension is applied using double-sided tape, which is attached to a small section of your own hair. The extensions are applied on top and underneath that hair, a technique Alternatively, a single weft of hair can be applied alone to a section of your real hair using the tape with a backing placed underneath to seal it in place. It is recommended that tape-in extensions be removed and reinstalled every eight weeks. So while they do need more maintenance, they’re also easier to take out.
The following are several ways to remove Tape-ins glue
- 1: It can be used hand sanitiser to remove the tape-ins, The gel remover offered to professionals is made of 70% isopropyl alcohol, glycerin, and aloe, which is found in hand sanitisers.

- 3:Put the oil onto the extension itself, so you can marinate it. Move it around so it comes loose,” says Tran. You’ll massage the tape until it gently peels off the hair and slides down and off the hair cuticle.
There may be remnants of tape left in the hair and there might be hair that collected at the root — the hair you naturally shed throughout its growth cycle. It’s essential to comb out the hair to prevent matting.
Simple tips to help you comb your hair healthier：
Start from the bottom of the hair and work your way up.

Pre-Bonded Extensions
Pre-bonded extensions are popular because they are so versatile when it comes to styling. But it’s a service that requires a professional for both installation and removal, as the bonds are more difficult to break up and take out. You also have a higher risk of hair damage if they are not removed properly.
if you had to remove your own extensions at home If you’re quarantined by yourself, the struggle is very real. If you’re by yourself, the best thing you can do is keep waiting, because it is difficult to solve this problem by yourself, What you can do is try to protect your hair as recommended by the barber to prevent her from getting tangled and damaged
If you can invite your friends to help you, You will also need a tool to break up the bond after the removal solution is applied to the tip. The tool literally looks like a set of pliers, which seems very scary. This is why it’s very important that the solution is only on the bond,
You need to push away any hair that’s surrounding the bond, get it out of the way, but the solution on the bond, and then you use, for lack of a better word, the plier-looking tool to break up the bond. You’ll gently clamp at it and it kind of starts breaking up into little pieces and then you can slide it off the hair
I would suggest very low manipulation to your hair,try not to pull on the hair too much, especially if you feel the links are grown out more than you're used to because that can cause more tension. Washing is okay, but just be mindful of the new growth
Unlike tape-ins, your hair should definitely be dry if you’re going to attempt to remove individual bonds. “A lot of people think, Oh if I get my hair wet and put a ton of conditioner on it and then put on the solution, it will slide right out. No! For whatever reason, when it’s wet, it makes the bond harder and it doesn’t break up as easily. And remember too that when hair is wet, it’s elastic, so it stretches. If you’re trying to pull that bond down, you have a greater chance of it snapping.”

Sewn-In Wefts
You will also need scissors, section clips and a comb. "Feel for the section where the track has been sewn in and section away from the surrounding hair with a clip. Using your scissors, carefully cut the thread attaching the weave to the braid.
it is best to cut the straight length of weave thread between each crisscross. "Once you have cut the thread, use your pin tail comb to slowly ease away the thread. The weft should easily come away from the braid and then the next step is to remove the braid. You should notice some synthetic hair that your hairdresser has added into the braid to support your natural hair and release tension. So again don't be alarmed when this added hair falls out of the braid, it's not your natural hair."
