The right way to remove Tape in Hair Extensions, did you get it?

By following these steps, you’ll protect both your natural hair and extensions for future use! ✅

  • Apply remover or oil: Spray adhesive remover along the edges of the tape tabs (avoid the scalp).
  • If using oil, dab coconut/olive oil onto the tape edges using a cotton swab.
  • Wait 5-10 minutes for the adhesive to dissolve.
  • Hold the natural hair near the tape tab to reduce tension.
  • Use tweezers or your fingers to slowly slide the extension downward (parallel to the hair shaft).

After removing the extensions, check for leftover adhesive:

  • Rub a small amount of oil or remover onto sticky areas.
  • Use a fine-tooth comb to gently tease apart any tangled hair.
  • Rinse hair with lukewarm water.
  • Cleanse with a sulfate-free shampoo to remove residue.
  • Apply a hydrating conditioner or hair mask to restore moisture.
  • Avoid acetone or alcohol—they dry out hair and irritate the scalp.
  • Never force extensions off—patience prevents damage.
  • Avoid heat styling for 24-48 hours to let hair recover.
  • Use repairing treatments (e.g., keratin masks) to strengthen natural hair.
  • If your scalp feels irritated, apply aloe vera gel to soothe it.
