It’s easiest to begin in a place on your head that you can see from a mirror so you’ll be able to see what you’re doing when you get started. That way, you’ll be practiced and feel confident once you reach the back of your head. For this reason, start removing the tape at the front of your hair and work your way backwards.

These products help to release your natural hair from the tape. This means that you can remove your hair extensions without your natural hair being damaged. Alternatively, some hair extension tape remover products are designed to be poured or dripped onto the tape rather than sprayed. Choose the type of product that suits you the best.

Never try to force the tape away from your hair, as this can cause damage and breakage. If you are having trouble getting the tape to release your hair, either try a different hair extension remover product or visit a professional hair stylist for help.

Work on only 1 piece of tape at a time, rather than trying to remove multiple hair extensions at once. This ensures that your natural hair doesn’t get damaged. Don’t worry if it looks like you are losing a lot of hair while you’re removing the extensions. Without tape hair extensions, you lose 50-100 strands of hair per day. When the tape is removed, the extra hair isn’t held in place and will fall out. Your hair will also feel thinner due to not having the bulk of the extensions. [9] X Research source

If your hair feels particularly dry, use a deep conditioner instead. This will help your hair to be shiny and healthy again. Hair extensions don’t impact hair growth, which means that your hair will grow normally. [11] X Research source
