Removing extension glue can be a tricky process, but with the right steps and products, it can be done relatively easily and safely. Here are some tips for removing extension glue:
Materials
- Extension adhesive remover : Specially formulated solvents are most effective.
- Fine-tooth comb : To remove adhesive residue.
- Shampoo and conditioner : To care for your hair after removing the glue.
- Towel : For drying your hair.
- Protective gloves : To protect your hands.
Steps
-
Preparation
- Sit in a well-ventilated area, as adhesive removers can have a strong odor.
- Place a towel around your shoulders to protect your clothes.
-
Application of the adhesive remover
- Apply the extension glue remover generously to the bonded areas. Make sure the remover is thoroughly absorbed into the glue.
- Allow the adhesive remover to work according to the instructions on the package. This can take between 1-10 minutes, depending on the product.
-
Removing the extensions
- Once the remover has worked, the extensions should come off easily. Begin pulling gently. If the extensions are still stuck, apply more remover and wait a little longer.
-
Remove adhesive residue
- After the extensions are removed, some glue residue may remain in the hair. Reapply glue remover to these areas and gently comb the hair with a fine-tooth comb to remove the residue.

Cleaning and care

- Use a conditioning conditioner to nourish and hydrate your hair after treatment.
Additional tips

- Post-removal care : A hair mask or deep conditioning treatment can help revitalize hair after the glue has been removed.
- Avoid harsh products : Do not use harsh chemicals such as nail polish remover, as these can damage the hair and scalp.
If you are unsure or the extensions are difficult to remove, I recommend you consult a professional hairdresser to avoid hair damage.
