Keratin hair extensions are extremely popular and effective hair pieces. They instantly make your hair longer and thicker, so that you can style them the way you want. They are a popular choice, especially if you are going for a wedding, party or special occasion. But like any other hair accessory, keratin hair extensions are not permanent, and need to be removed at one time. You can easily remove them yourself with the help of a little care and a few tools.
With the exception of glue-in extensions, Keratin and sewn-in wefts can stay in your hair longer. Recommended timeframe is 2 to 4 months, depending on hair quality. Regular U-Tips that use glue should be re-adjusted after every two months.
Keratin is basically a very strong (and natural) protein. Fortunately, there are still ways to do that and assuming you have some tools at your home, it will be free!

Step by step instructions to remove keratin hair extensions
Follow these instructions to remove your keratin hair extensions safely:
- Wash off your conditioner or oil, whichever you used to soak your hair.
- Comb your hair to ensure that there are no tangles left in them.
- Take a cluster of around 5 extensions, apply a drop of alcohol in each bond, and use the pliers to give it 5 squeezes. Be gentle and don’t break it with a jerk.
- Repeat the process with all of your hair. Just give squeezes to your bonds without putting them out
- Work layer by layer, allowing the solvent to go deeper and soften the bonds. Do not force them out with the pliers, as it can cause much damage to your natural hair. The squeezes will open them a little and they will come out more easily on their own.
- Keep all your bonds moist while you are working with the others. Repeat again with all your bonds 2-3 times.
- Once your bonds have become softer, add another drop of the remover and try to gently slide off an extension. If it does not slide easily, do not tug it hard. Just let it soak for some more time and then come back.
Another easy steps to remove keratin extensions (Timeframe: 30 Minutes)
- Look for 100% pure acetone. In case you need to buy it, compare price with the pre-made solution.
- Grab a pair of gloves made of butyl rubber or latex (these will break after ~10 minutes or cause allergic reactions). Other gloves will simply dissolve.
- Apply gloves and dip your fingers into acetone.
- Start gently rolling the bond with the fingers until it loosens up and falls apart.
- Repeat the procedure till all bonds are removed.
