Sooner or later, any hairstyle can get bored, so the question of removing the extended locks never loses its relevance. And keratin is not recommended for use over a long period of time exceeding six months. How exactly to remove donor curls, usually depends on what method they were originally fixed with.
What is required?
The choice of the means by which the locks are removed is determined by the method of their attachment. To correct the tape build-up, only a hairdryer and alcohol are enough. With the Chinese building, which, by the way, is considered the most traumatic, only a simple apparatus for processing nails, for example, manicure scissors or tweezers, can handle it. Removing curls attached by the capsule method provides either a special remover or a solution with high fat content, for example, a mask or balm.
Liquid or spray for removal is purchased in a special store for hairdressers. The cost will be approximately 350 to 500 rubles. The price of the kit, consisting of a remover and special forceps, is in the range from 1200 to 1500 rubles, but it will turn out to be used even several times. As a home softener, you can use fat sour cream, olive or burdock oil.
A homemade mask is also suitable, the composition of which includes a tablespoon of castor oil, 3 tablespoons of almond oil, and one whipped yolk. If we talk about the Spanish building, then only an aggressive means can cope with it - for example, liquid for removing artificial nails.An alternative would be a conventional acetone based nail polish remover.
How to take off?
The easiest way to remove tape curls at home. This happens with the help of hot air. For convenience, loose hair is distributed into several strands, and the hair dryer is activated in the most intensive mode at maximum temperature. Spinning after spinning, the place where the tapes are fastened is heated. Due to this, the glue applied to them will lose its properties, which means that the coupling is destroyed, and the artificial hair begins to fall off. In addition, a professional tool for removing donor strands can be applied to the gluing point.
Residues of a viscous solution should be removed from the hair using a cotton swab saturated with alcohol. This is not to say that the time procedure is carried out very quickly - in order not to injure the natural strands, it is important to handle them calmly and accurately.
As a final action, the head will have to be washed and nourished with a restoring mask.
The least sparing is the removal of curls attached in the Chinese way, that is, using metal or plastic clamps. Removing hair extensions on their own can be very problematic, because the only way to deal with strands is to use force to open the clamps. Moreover, this procedure is very traumatic, therefore, to minimize harm, it is better not to perform the procedure at home, but to consult a specialist.
Disconnecting cold builds should also be entrusted to the master. The product is applied to the capsule, after which it is necessary to wait until it softens. When the state of attachment changes, you can gently pull on it, while holding natural curls. If everything is done correctly, then the donor strand itself will depart. In the case when the capsule is held too tight, you need to add more drug and wait a while.
It is important to mention that this method is extremely traumatic, and the hair after removal is brittle and dried. Therefore, in the finale, you should immediately make a nourishing mask or rinse your head with a herbal decoction, and do not forget to regularly carry out wellness procedures.
French buildup is eliminated most easily. Its essence lies in the fact that small braids form on the back of the head and on the temples, to which donor curls are then attached using tresses. It is not difficult to do the reverse procedure. First, the lower part of the nape is processed, and the upper is fixed at this time with the help of hair clips. The point where the pigtail begins, you need to feel for yourself. Usually a pair of pieces are on the same line.
The braids open, and during this process, the threads and artificial curls separate by themselves. No additional procedures are performed. The strands used in this case, by the way, can be reused.
How to remove keratin from hair after building?
To dissolve keratin capsules, they can be treated with a special tool, following the instructions that will be considered a professional way. As a rule, first dry fasteners are covered with a liquid or gel, then the required amount of time is expected, which should be enough to soften them - from 5 minutes to half an hour. Finally, the artificial locks are very carefully separated from the real ones with the help of special tongs, previously used for building.
If you carry out the removal calmly and according to the rules, then the hair will not suffer in any way.
In the second case, softening of the capsules occurs when treating hair with oily masks or even oil. If it is a vegetable oil, for example, peach or jojoba, as well as fat sour cream, then it should first be heated either in the microwave or in a steam bath. It is required to apply them abundantly on dried hair: both on capsules and in the root zone.After the hot substance, butt joints are smeared, and if necessary, everything is warmed up either with a hairdryer or, in an emergency, with an iron to straighten the hair.
A hairdryer is allowed to warm up for about 20 seconds, and in the second case, the exposure can not exceed 10 seconds. As soon as the capsules are softened, it is possible to start the separation process starting from the crown with the same layers as the extension took place. If a mask is prepared to remove the lock, the oils contained in it are warmed up and mixed with protein. After applying the solution to the capsules, you need to wrap the hair with either cling film or a special microfiber hat or a woolen towel.
Thoroughly warming up the hair, you can proceed to disconnect the strands. In the case of using ironing, the capsule is simply fixed by the device, and then, without opening the halves, is pulled down. Keratin residues are combed out with a comb with frequent teeth.
By the way, it is in a situation with ironing that experts advise to further protect the native curls with thermal protection, for example, balm with silicone in the composition.
There is another way to eliminate donor strands, for which only ironing is required. The unit warms up to 160 or 180 degrees, and the locks are treated with a protective agent. Each capsule is clamped between the plates for a period of half a minute to 40 seconds, which should be enough to warm the keratin. The next step is the capsule is pulled down together with the locks. Residues are removed with vegetable oil and comb.
This method is least welcomed by specialists, so it is worth using it only when others are currently not possible.
Tips
In no case should you try to unprofessionally remove your hair, for example, actively combing it or taking any aggressive mechanical effect. The hair will suffer, but the desired result may not be achieved. It will be possible to speed up the process of removing capsular hair due to an additional increase in temperature - that is, the choice of a more powerful regime for a hairdryer or the use of a curling iron.
By the way, if the tool gets dirty during operation, then it will be possible to clean it with ordinary liquid polish remover or even alcohol.
In all cases, eliminating overhead locks, natural curls should be combed with a comb, characterized by the presence of frequent small cloves. Ideally, it should be wooden. The comb will allow not only to remove the remnants of glue or keratin, but also the fallen hairs and tangles. In principle, it makes sense to cut the ends of the hair and combed out lumps, and in advanced cases even make a haircut. The procedure ends with a head wash with a shampoo deeply washing hair. You should also use a restorative.
Care after removal of artificial hair should be intense. Several times a week, it is recommended to use masks from natural ingredients, as well as burdock and castor oils. At this time, you will have to suspend hair dyeing, highlighting, straightening or curling. Styling is also prohibited along with foams, varnishes and gels. A good idea is to drink a vitamin complex for a week.
Removing hair extensions is not recommended on their own, it is better to initially use someone else's help. The fact is that it is extremely difficult to process the locks on the back of your head even if you have a large mirror. The process should be consistent and measured. It is also important not to worry about the fact that your own hair falls out - this will happen in any case, but only those hairs that have already separated from the bulb while wearing artificial curls will leave. It is also important to get rid of tangles: either unraveling their hair after the hair, or simply cutting them off in especially radical cases.A combination of oil and a Tangle Teezer comb helps some girls: first a mask is made, after which the hair is combed right on it.
Ideally, the procedure for removing hair extensions should be entrusted to the same specialist who initially carried out the hair extension procedure.
In the case of keratin, it should be understood that the capsule must be either melted, dissolved, or mechanically crushed. In no case should you use gasoline or acetone - the effect on native hair will be disastrous. If the capsules are removed to update the hairstyle, further extensions should not be carried out on the same day - it is better to let the hair rest for at least a couple of days. If the hairs are very weak, then the procedure should be postponed for a couple of weeks or even a month.
