Sooner or later, any hairstyle can get bored, so the question of removing the accumulated strands never loses its relevance. Yes, and keratin is not recommended for a long period of time longer than six months. How exactly to clean up the donor curls usually depends on the method with which they were initially fixed.
What is required?
The choice of the means by which the strands are removed is determined by the method of their attachment. To correct the tape extension, only a hair dryer and alcohol are sufficient. With the Chinese extension, which, by the way, is considered the most traumatic, only the simplest apparatus for processing nails, for example, nail scissors or tweezers, can do it. Removing the curls attached by the capsular method provides either a special remover or a solution with high fat content, for example, a mask or a balm.
Liquid or spray for removal is purchased in a special shop for hairdressers. The cost will be about 350 to 500 rubles. The price of a kit consisting of a remuver and special tongs is in the range from 1,200 to 1,500 rubles, but you can even use it several times. As a home softener, you can use fat sour cream, olive or burdock oil.
A homemade mask is suitable, the composition of which includes a tablespoon of castorca, 3 tablespoons of almond oil, as well as one beaten yolk. If we talk about the Spanish buildup, then only an aggressive remedy can cope with it - for example, liquid for removing artificial nails. An alternative might be the usual acetone-based nail polish remover.
How to remove?
The easiest way to remove the ribbon curls at home. This happens with the help of hot air. For convenience, loose hair is divided into several strands, and the hair dryer is activated in the most intensive mode at maximum temperature. Straight after the strand heats up the place where the ribbons are fastened. Due to this, the glue applied on them will lose its properties, which means that the coupling collapses and the artificial hair begins to fall off. Additionally, a professional tool for removing donor strands can be applied to the gluing point.
Remnants of a viscous solution should be removed from the head of hair using an alcohol pad. It cannot be said that the time procedure is carried out very quickly - in order not to injure the natural strands, it is important to process them calmly and carefully.
As a final step, the head will have to be washed and fed with a regenerating mask.
The least gentle is the removal of curls attached in the Chinese way, that is, using clamps made of metal or plastic. Removing hair extensions on their own can be very problematic, because the only way to cope with the strands is with the use of force to open the clamps. In addition, this procedure is very traumatic, so in order to minimize harm, it is better not to perform the procedure at home, but to consult a specialist.
Disconnecting the cold build should also be entrusted to the master. The product is applied to the capsule, after which it is necessary to wait for its softening. When the state of attachment changes, you can gently pull it while holding the natural curls. If done correctly, the donor strand itself will move away.In the case when the capsule is held too tightly, you need to add another drug and wait for a while.
It is important to mention that this method is extremely traumatic, and after removal it turns out to be brittle and dried. Therefore, in the finale you should immediately make a nutritional mask or rinse your head with a herbal decoction, and do not forget to regularly carry out recreational procedures.
French buildup is eliminated the easiest. Its essence lies in the fact that small braids are formed on the back of the head and on the temples, to which donor curls are then attached using tresses. Do the reverse procedure is not difficult. First, the lower part of the neck is treated, while the upper part is fixed with the help of pins. The point where the pigtail begins, you need to grope yourself. Usually on the same line is a pair of pieces.
The braids bloom, and during this process, the threads and artificial curls separate themselves. No further procedures are carried out. Pryadki used in this case, by the way, can be re-used.
How to remove keratin from hair after extension?
To dissolve keratin capsules, they can be treated with a special agent, acting according to the instructions, which will be considered a professional way. As a rule, at first dry fastenings are covered with liquid or gel, then the required amount of time is waited, which should be enough to soften them - from 5 minutes to half an hour. Finally, very carefully the artificial strands are separated from the real ones with the help of special tongs, which were previously used for extension.
If you perform the removal calmly and according to the rules, the hair will not suffer in any way.
In the second case, the softening of the capsules occurs when the hair is treated with fat masks or even oil. If it is vegetable oil, for example, peach or jojoba, as well as fat sour cream, then first it should be heated either in a microwave or on a steam bath. It is required to apply them plentifully on the dried hair: both on capsules, and in a radical zone. Butt joints are used with hot substance, and, if necessary, everything is heated either with a hair dryer or in an emergency case with an iron for straightening hair.
The hair dryer is allowed to warm up for about 20 seconds, and in the second case, the effect cannot exceed 10 seconds. Once the capsules have softened, you can begin the process of separation starting from the top of the head in the same layers as the build-up took place. If a mask is prepared for removing the order, the oils in its composition are heated and mixed with protein. Inflicting a solution on the capsules, you want to wrap the hair with either a cling film, or a special microfiber cap, or a woolen towel.
Carefully warming up the hair, you can proceed to disconnect the strands. In the case of an ironing device, the capsule is simply fixed by the device, and then, without opening the halves, it is pulled down. The remains of keratin combed comb with frequent teeth.
By the way, it is in the situation with the iron that the experts advise in addition to protect the native curls with thermal protection, for example, with a balsam with silicone in the composition.
Allocate another way to eliminate donor strands, which will require only iron. The unit warms up to 160 or 180 degrees, and the strands are treated with a protective agent. Each capsule is clamped between the plates for a period from half a minute to 40 seconds, which should be enough to heat the keratin. The next step is to pull the capsule down along with the strands. The remains of substance are eliminated with vegetable oil and a hairbrush.
This method is least welcomed by experts, so it is worth using it only when others are currently impossible.
Tips
In no case should not try to unprofessional to remove hair, for example, actively combing them or undertaking any aggressive mechanical effect. The hair will suffer, and the desired result may not be achieved. Speed up the process of removing capsular hairs due to an additional increase in temperature - that is, the choice of a more powerful mode for a hair dryer or the use of a curling iron.
By the way, if during operation the tool gets dirty, then it can be cleaned with ordinary nail polish remover or even alcohol.
In all cases, removing the overhead strands, natural curls should be combed with a comb, characterized by the presence of frequent fine teeth. Ideally, it should be wooden. The comb will not only remove the remnants of glue or keratin, but also dropped hairs and mats. In principle, it makes sense to cut off the ends of the hair and non-combing lumps, and in advanced cases even make a haircut. The procedure ends with a shampoo with deep shampooing the hair. You should also use a regenerating agent.
Care after removing artificial hair should be intense. Several times a week it is recommended to use masks from natural ingredients, as well as burdock and castor oil. At this time, you will have to stop painting the hair, highlighting, straightening or curling. Styling is also banned along with foams, varnishes and gels. A good idea would be to drink a vitamin complex throughout the week.
Removal of hair extensions is not recommended on their own, it is better to initially use someone's help. The fact is that the strands on the back of your head will be extremely difficult to process on your own even with a large mirror. The process must be consistent and measured. It is also important not to worry about the fact that your own hair falls out - this will happen anyway, but only those hairs that have already separated from the bulb during the wearing of artificial curls will disappear. It is also important to get rid of tangles: either by unraveling their hairs by hairs, or simply cutting them off in especially radical cases. Some girls are helped by the combination of oil and Tangle Teezer comb: first a mask is made, after which the hair is combed right along it.
Ideally, the procedure for removing hair extensions should be entrusted to the same specialist who initially conducted the extension procedure.
In the case of keratin, it should be understood that the capsule must necessarily be either melted, dissolved or mechanically crushed. In no case should not use gasoline or acetone - the effect on native hair will be catastrophic. 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.
