Before we start going through the removal process, let’s talk about the time of removal! When do you need to remove your extensions anyway? It depends on your type of weft, so let’s go through each one.
If you got clip-in or flip-in style hair wefts, please remove them every day. You can detach clips after getting home or wear them throughout the day and remove them before going to bed. That’s why clip-in and flip-in bundles are known as non-permanent methods.
It works great for many people and doesn’t for others; it’s all about your habits.
These extension types need to be removed or adjusted after two months. Why do that anyway? The reason why you need to remove them is simple. Your natural strands grow and move the extensions further down, which requires adjustment.
Hair growth is what dictates adjustment or removal time. Some strands grow slowly, so the extensions can stay in for longer. However, in any case, they need to come off to be refitted.
You don’t need to buy a new set of hair each time you reinstall if the old one is still good. Just as you can apply hair yourself, you can also remove it yourself, and it’s much simpler. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money at the salon, we’ve made a simple guide on how to remove each extension type with ease.
Except for glue-in extensions, Keratin and sewn-in wefts can stay in your hair longer. The 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.
So, you’ve accidentally applied tape-ins or simply got bored by keratin fusion extensions, and now wondering how to remove them at home and without spending a dime? Let’s begin!
Belonging to the non-permanent methods, clip-ins are one of the most popular options for girls around the world.
One of the biggest reasons? It’s how easy it is to put them in and remove yourself. That saves you a lot of money and trips to the salon. Although clip-ins are very easy to install and remove, it’s essential to learn how to do it right.

After removal, brush your extensions and store them in a safe place.
Flip-ins are even simpler to install and remove than clip-ins. Although this method is not as versatile, a lot of girls love it and use it all the time. Since this is not a permanent method, you will have to apply and remove the hair daily.

Now, this one is much trickier, as keratin is 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!
