I live in Canada and want to save some $$ and remove my GL myself. You can't buy 190 proof grain alcohol (Everclear) here, it's illegal!!! Can I use isopropyl rubbing alcohol 70% USP instead?? I don't really know the differences between alcohols.
Please help!!
Thanks!

Personally, I wouldn't use alcohol because it's so drying, and your hair will liekly be fragile anyway. You can buy a bottle of solution for a few bucks on Ebay, or maybe soak them overnite in baby oil (or K-Pak!). I think I'll probably end up asking my stylist to mail me the removal stuff so I can do it myself-- I live in NB, and had to travel 3 hours to get mine.
Good luck!

You can use pure acetone from a local beauty supply to remove the Great Lengths bonds. Just put a drop on the bond and then crush the bond with a pair of flat nose pliers. The hair should brush right out. DO NOT pour the acetone on your hair only on the bonds because it is very drying.

the glue different companys use are all different. for example monkey bars come out with acetone as does lord and cliff hair....great lengths hair is a different bond and only comes out with a high alchol like everclear...try ordering it online...or find a friend in nevada to send u some....also as to the oil removel and kpac yes do this for 1 or 2 days before- but with great lenghts they all will not slide out so a high grain alchol is needed(ps i have been doing gl for 10 yrs)
