I have Great Lengths extensions and I HATE them. I want to take mine out too. Do you know of any home remedies? I heard that Everclear alcohol placed on the bond will break it down. ------------- |

Sorry to hear about your bad experiences with hair extensions. I don't have any personal experience with them but will pass along the information I got from another discussion board. Those that have the extensions and removed them themselves say: -Use baby oil first to loosen the glue, then shampoo, then apply rubbing alcolhol to remove any remaining glue. BE CAREFUL not to get the alcohol near your eyes. -Another says she removed hers by using a leave-in conditioner. She says it loosed the glue and she was able easily remove them. You might try the conditioner one first - seems less damaging. Or, perhaps the baby oil will do the trick without resorting to the alcohol. Let us know what works for you. GOOD LUCK and I hope you are able to remove your extensions.  ------------- Merlin |

I apply and remove all kinds of extensions and if you are currently using an extension that utilizes a bond glue then "acetone" will safely remove them fast without any breakage or damage to your own hair. Babyoil only softens them but does not remove the bonding and you end up tearing out your own hair...You can purchase acetone in any beauty supply store..I also use this product to safely remove artificial nails Brandii Hair stylist/Aesthetician |
