HOW TO REMOVE WEFT EXTENSIONS?

Removing weft hair extensions can be done carefully to avoid damaging natural hair and the extensions.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to remove weft hair extensions:

Materials you'll need:

• Hair extension pliers or a hair extension remover tool.
• A fine-tooth comb.
• A mirror.
• A friend's help if possible.

STEP 1: PREPARE THE AREA

Make sure you have good lighting and a clean, dry workspace to work in. It's also helpful to have a mirror nearby so you can see what you're doing.

STEP 2: DETANGLE THE HAIR

Use a fine-tooth comb to gently detangle any knots or tangles in natural hair and the weft extensions. Start at the tips and work your way up to the root, being careful not to pull or yank the hair.

STEP 3: LOCATE THE WEFT ATTACHMENT POINTS

Identify where the weft extensions are attached to natural hair. Weft extensions are typically sewn, glued, or taped in place. The attachment method will determine how you proceed.

STEP 4: REMOVE SEWN-IN WEFTS

If your weft extensions are sewn in, you will need to carefully cut the thread. Use hair extension pliers or a small pair of scissors to snip the threads, working your way from one end of the weft to the other. Be extremely cautious not to cut natural hair.

STEP 5: REMOVE GLUED OR TAPED-IN WEFTS

If your weft extensions are glued or taped in, you will need a special hair extension remover tool. Apply the remover to the bonded area and gently work the weft loose. It may take some time, so be patient and avoid pulling on hair.

STEP 6: DETACH THE WEFT

Once the weft is no longer securely attached to the hair, gently lift it away from the scalp. Be careful not to pull too hard or tug at natural hair. If the weft doesn't come off easily, use a bit more extension remover and continue to work it free.

STEP 7: COMB AND CLEAN

After removing the weft, comb through natural hair to ensure there are no leftover adhesive or residue. Use a suitable adhesive residue remover if necessary.

STEP 8: SHAMPOO AND CONDITION

Wash and condition natural hair to ensure it's clean and free from any remaining product or residue. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner.

It's essential to be patient and gentle during the removal process to prevent damage to natural hair.
