Not hard at all.  I heard before that latex and liquid gold were both easy to get out of hair, and then it took me hours and pulled half my hair out with it so I was worried.  I used the shrinkies remover and kind of rubbed it around and the hair just lifted from the tape.  By the time you actually remove it, it feels ready to come out anyway.  I haven't had to pull even a little bit, and the hair stuck to the tape is very minimal and typical of natural shedding.  I love it!!!!!

yeah, with the latex, I had problems, but the actual protacs just slid right
out. Of the ones that I didn't bother trying to get the protacs off the
wefts, I just soaked them in olive oil, and they pulled right out. It's
amazing. No problem at all! The only problem was the extra glue, that,
was a mess.

  Thanks very much, that eases my mind..  I  ordered the pro Tac and remover from the shrinkies web sight but I wasn't sure if they  caused a mess trying to get them out or not..
Naked eye how did you get the extra glue out?

I used extra latex glue, which, I do NOT recommend using!!!

But, I got it out just by lots of oil, lots of conditioner, and dish soap, and
lots of painful combing!

Naked Eye...so....Im getting the idea that we dont want to combine ANY glue on top of the pro-tac. I had a disaster with LG with protac and you had a problem with latex combined with protac.

On my first install I used straight conditioner. It took some time but it finally came out. I had 3 stubborn rows that I finally ended up using dish soap.

Sherrie had suggested pure acetone so I tried that on my second install and hands-down it worked the best. A little squirt of pure acetone on the tape and it slid right out! So acetone will be my future removal method for pro-tac.

real quick removal

part hair so the protac is showing

apply  the oil remover onto the protac

go have a glass of wine

after wine

take ratail comb, use the end and GENTLY lift off hair from the protac

after all hair on top is lifted up, grab the tape and slide it out!

it should come all out with the weft inside it.

peel off tape, throw away

wash weft

wash hair

if any residue of the tape is left after u dry hair, use a comb and comb thru some baby or talc powder, this grabs the stickness

reapply clean wefts with new protac

go have another glass of wine!!!

Im expirementing on my head at the moment.  Ive had these protac wefts in for about 3 weeks and the sliding on the bottom weft was driving me insane.  I went ahead and put LG on the underside of the bottem weft.  Im going to take them out in a couple weeks for a redo.

Kalika I hope you have better luck than I did....and if you find something that works better for removal let me know! When I tried to remove the LG/Protac I tried acetone and the wefts slide right out but left the tape/glue in my hair and it was a beotch to get out. And I tried conditioner which was just as big of a nightmare!

I can get LG out easy and I can get tape out easy...but not the combo of the two together!

Yeah Sherrie. The latex didn't come out easily. That was horrible, but the
protacs did. I tried everything, it just took a lot of patience (and alcohol
)

Next time I am just trying the pro-tacs but I am scared they wont stay in
as well.....

I dont have any problem keeping the protac in...it was just that top row, with the tape showing. My hair is so fine in that area that aftera few washes the hair thats sanwiched over the tape comes off of the tapes, so I had used the LG to glue the hair down onto the tape. Now I just use LG ONLY to bond the top row!

If you are worried about them sliding out maybe you could try using a few shrinkies and anchoring them in.

Yeah, shrinkies caused just as much problems for me, any type of
adhesion thingy just doesn't float too well with me. I don't know if it will
be a problem, it probably won't, I am just paranoid. I am planning on re-
installing this weekend, so I have some grace time to see if I have any
problems.

Thanks sherrie, I think all will be well.

I didnt sandwich the bottem weft, just applied the LG to the underside of it for better hold.  Im hoping by not sandwiching it, it wont be a PITA to remove.
