HOW ARE KERATIN TIPS REMOVED?

Removal takes 1-2 hours depending on how many bonds you have. It's a careful, methodical process that protects your natural hair.

A professional bond remover solution is applied to each keratin tip. The solution breaks down the keratin adhesive, softening it so the bond can be gently squeezed and removed.

Each bond is worked on individually. The extension strand slides off your natural hair without pulling, tugging, or causing damage.

After all bonds are removed, your hair is shampooed thoroughly to remove any residue from the remover solution. Your natural hair is left clean and undamaged.

No pain or pulling. When done correctly, removal is completely comfortable. You shouldn't feel tugging or discomfort — just patience as each bond is dissolved and removed.

Some shedding is normal. You'll see hair come out during removal, but this is natural shed hair that's been trapped in the bonds over the past 4-6 months. It's not breakage.

Your hair will feel different. After months of extensions, your natural hair will feel lighter and thinner. This is normal — you've just gotten used to the extra volume.

DIY removal is dangerous. Trying to cut, pull, or break the bonds without professional remover will rip out your natural hair and cause serious damage.

Even if you have access to bond remover, improper technique can still cause breakage. The process requires experience to know how much solution to use and when the bond is ready to slide off.

If you need emergency removal and can't get to your stylist, contact another extension specialist immediately. Don't attempt it yourself.

You can reinstall new keratin bonds immediately if the hair is healthy. Most clients who love the method choose to reinstall right away.

If your hair needs a break, take a few weeks or months off. Use deep conditioning treatments to restore moisture and strength.

The extension hair can often be reused if it's still in good condition. We'll assess it during removal to determine if it's worth keeping for reinstallation.
