  • Start with Remover 1 and spray it directly onto the adhesive of your client’s tape-in hair extensions.     

  • Let the remover solvent drip down into the extension adhesive and soak for about 30 seconds.     

  • Use a comb to separate the tape tabs between the wefts and loosen them.      

  • Apply more Remover 1 if the wefts don’t easily come apart, and repeat as needed.   

  • When the wefts are fully loose, split the tabs and gently remove the extensions from the natural hair. 

Remover 2

  • Next, use Remover 2 to remove any leftover residue on the natural hair and extensions.   

  • Using a wide-tooth comb, carefully comb the hair in a downward direction to remove residue.   

  • Repeat the last two steps to remove residue wherever it’s left behind in the hair.     

Remover 3

  • Comb the hair from the roots to the ends and rinse.   

  • Repeat the previous step if necessary to ensure all residue is out of the hair.  

  • Wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo and moisturizing conditioner.
