How to Remove Keratin or Fusion Hair Extensions

Removal Video here or see video at lesser of page

Keratin (aka fusion) hair extensions are the type of extensions that are applied with a hot fusion tool or iron. The extensions themselves come pre-tipped with keratin. (I've heard of some people using a flat iron for application but they are too broad to exercise a good clean job). I'll be adding a new application video presently. Here is an application video I created 12 years ago but is still valid

Remove in a systematic mode, select a row to remove and clip all the other hair up out of the manner (I ordinarily start in the nape but anyplace is fine).

Add a generous amount of D-Bond Gel to all the keratin bonds in the row. D-Bond Gel is thick which helps it cling and start breaking downwardly the keratin.

Take 3-4 bonds and kickoff cracking them with the Pro Removal pliers.

Once they are starting to crack add a few drops of Vision Removal solution and crack again.

Continue calculation remover and cracking until the keratin is completely crumbled and the extensions easily pulls out. (either save this pilus or throw abroad – expect for my re-tipping video coming April 2020)

Vision Removal solution is stronger than D-Bond gel which gives the removal a kick. Once the extensions are removed you may find tangling and matting in a higher place where the bonds were. This is normal.

Use a good detangling spray in this area and with a fine-tooth comb carefully comb out the tangles. I occasionally use a t-pin to get into tight "dreads" that sometimes happen. The more intendance you lot have getting out the tangles without breaking the hair the better pilus wellness you will have.

I recommend having your extensions removed by a professional only they can also exist removed at home.
If you are doing a home removal take your time and work on a few bonds at a fourth dimension and residuum your arms in betwixt. If you have a loved-one to aid ALL the Amend!

I am writing this during the covid-19 pandemic and I realize many people need to remove extensions only can't get to a salon because they are airtight.

one. You lot can utilize either D-Bond Gel or Vision Removal Solution you don't have to have both merely using the two together works best.
2. Pro removal pliers work the best but in a pinch you tin utilise regular pliers, (just don't cut your pilus with the cutter)
3. DON'T reheat the keratin and slide it out of your pilus. You can remove the extension this way, but you lot leave backside a thin trail of melted keratin that is very difficult to remove and keeps y'all from combing out whatsoever dreads/ tangles.
4. Give yourself time. It can have a professional 1-two hour for removal so wait it to take longer if you are doing it for yourself.
5. The longer the extensions are in the easier the keratin breaks downwards, but the tangling may be worse if they accept been in for a long time.
6. Most of the modernistic, upwardly-to-date pilus extension companies use keratin that is removed with an booze-based remover. In a pinch y'all can utilize 91-99% isopropyl alcohol. (seventy% rubbing alcohol is not strong plenty)
7. Rare: Some old fashioned extension applications use a keratin that is broken downwards with acetone (finger blast polish remover) If y'all showtime to remove your extensions and instead of the keratin starting to crumble they showtime getting "sticky" and then y'all have the incorrect remover. Go to the drug store and go a bottle of acetone fingernail smoothen remover. Put it in a canteen with a spout and endeavour the process again only using the acetone. If your extensions were applied with a glue gun they probably need acetone to remove. Acetone volition not work on extensions that need booze based remover.
Alarm! all the to a higher place mentioned removers are Flammable!

I promise this information helps! Lynn
