How to Remove Hair Extensions From Home

Hair extensions add body and length to any hair style.

Hair extensions can add a lot of volume, texture and style to any hair type. There are three kinds of hair extensions that you can use, depending on the look you want and how much money you want to spend. Synthetic extensions are inexpensive, but can look fake--the hair will remain abnormally shiny. Real human hair extensions look very natural but can be expensive. And "virgin" hair extensions (hair from the same person) looks the best and can be treated--dyed, highlighted, permed, etc.--just like your own hair. Whichever type of extension you choose, there are different ways that they are put into your hair: woven, glued, bonded, etc. Most extensions need to be taken out by a professional to prevent hair damage. Glued in extensions, however, can be taken out at home.

Things You'll Need

• Hair clips
• Baby oil
• Wide-toothed comb
• Hair glue remover
• Fine-toothed comb

Instructions

1. Clip all of your hair up to expose the very first hair extension track at the bottom of your hair. The extensions are glued into your sections of your hair in tracks. You should remove each track at a time.

2. Pour a small amount of baby oil onto your fingers. Rub the baby oil onto the glue bonds of the extension tracks.

3. Comb through the track--very lightly--with a wide-toothed comb.

4. Pour a quarter-sized amount of hair glue remover onto your fingers. Rub the glue liberally to the hair track.

5. Comb the glue out of your hair using a fine-toothed comb.

6. Release the hair clip from your hair. Clip up the your hair so that the second hair track is exposed.

7. Repeat Steps 1-6 to remove the rest of the tracks from your hair.
