I am in the middle of trying to remove my microrings that were put in with my pre-tipped extensions but cannot seem to get themout.  I know there is a tool; but I did not purchase it because I was told I could use plier and that does not seem to be working.  Anyone have any suggestions?  I want to get these out to apply my wefts.
Thanks

The re-rounding plier is invaluable when it comes to removing the micro's. You can use a regualar pair of pliers, but you just have to be very very careful not to apply too much pressure and  fold the ring back over or mangle the ring.
 
You may want to try adding come conditioner around the ring and it may help with sliding the ring off.
 
One other thing... and this sounds crazy but a girl that used to be on the forums swore by using the flatiron and heating the ring up. She said it warped or expanded the metal just enough to help them slide off.

Thank you Sherri
I finally got them out with Pliers but it took a while.  I applied wefts for the first time using the double-sandwich method and they look good.  I know they wont last as long as what I had but I could do these myself.  Do you where wefts?
