If you have ever had glue-in extensions in, you know that taking them out is a hassle. It hurts and it pulls some of you hair out along with the extensions. You can buy all the products beauty supply stores offer and still have difficulty getting them out. Or, maybe you’ve gotten them out, but the glue is still all over your hair. Read these tips on how to get them out safely and without the hassle of ripping all your hair out in the process.
Yes, the oils and things you can guy to remove the tracks help, but the best thing you can get is conditioner. It doesn’t matter what kind. Just get the cheapest kind you can find and douse your head in it. After you’ve done this, wrap something around you hair and place a processing cap on top of you head to allow it to work.
Remember, you are going to have to be patient. Wait about one to two hours to allow the conditioner to penetrate through the glue. Try letting it do this while you watch a movie or reading a book. After this time period, you should be able to safely pull the tracks out. Do it slowly just in case some of them are still bonded with your hair. If it feels tight, just put a little more conditioner on there and wait an additional thirty minutes. Repeat the process if it’s still not gone after that but twice should be the most you should have to do and that is only if a lot of glue was used when putting them in.
If you already got your glue-in extensions out with an oil based product or glue remover, this is the part you’ll need to read. You may be experiencing a now greasy feel to your hair all over your head or you may have clumps of glue stuck around strands of hair. If you have clumps around a lot of hair, be careful because you may pull your hair out with it.
In these two instances, you will have to soak your hair with a cheap conditioner and let it sit for about thirty minutes to an hour. After you’ve finished with this step, continue on by combing through your hair very gently. The conditioner should have loosened the glue up enough by now that you can comb the glue clumps out without pulling our strands of your hair. Again, if it feels like you are pulling you hair, add more conditioner and let it sit on you hair longer. If you try to just yank the comb through your hair, you could not only pull out hair, but you could also cause breakage on the ends of your hair.
Hair extensions are beautiful, but they are almost always a hassle to get out. Using the process I described above is sure to give you the most painless, hassle-free experience of extension removal you’ve ever had. Good luck and just remember to be patient!
