Removing and Reusing Bondings
Your beautiful hair extensions have grown out and you need to remove your bondings? Then take a look at our hair2heart Extensions guide on "Removing Bondings." Here, you will learn how much you can expect to pay at the hair salon for bonding removal. We will provide you with tips on how to remove bondings at home and how to reuse your extensions. Finally, you will find additional information about hair2heart bonding extensions.
1. How much does it cost to remove bondings?
Removing bondings while minimizing damage to your natural hair requires professional bonding equipment and expertise. If you have no experience with extensions and no assistance, it is recommended to have your bonding extensions removed by a hair salon. Having the bondings removed by an extension professional is not only gentle on your natural hair but also allows you to have your extensions re-applied professionally. The cost of bonding removal at a hair salon varies depending on the number of extensions. Some salons charge between 1-4 euros per strand for bonding removal. If you also want to have the bondings re-applied and your extensions attached to your natural hair, additional costs for rebonding, extension attachment, and a trimming service will apply.
2. Can you remove bondings yourself?
In general, you can remove bondings yourself. However, we at hair2heart advise customers without experience in removing bondings to leave this task to a professional. If a friend can assist you in removing the bondings, especially in hard-to-reach areas like the back of your head, removing the extension strands with the appropriate hair2heart bonding extension accessories should not be a problem.
How to remove bondings gently:
In the bonding method, thin extension strands are fused with your natural hair using a heat clamp and tiny keratin bondings. To remove these bondings gently, you will need an effective bonding remover and a professional bonding tool. You can find both of these products, as well as other essential bonding extension accessories, in the hair2heart online shop. Now, you can follow the instructions below to remove your bondings:
- Briefly apply heat to each keratin bond using the heat clamp.
- Apply some bonding remover to the bonding area.
- Massage the keratin bonding again with the bonding tool after a short waiting time.
- Once you have loosened the bonding area, gently pull out the extension strands along with the bondings.
- After removing all extensions, remove any remaining keratin residue from your hair using the bonding remover and a bonding extension brush.
3. When should bondings be removed?
Since bonding extensions last a particularly long time, you usually only need to remove your bondings after four to six months. The exact timing for bondings removal depends on:
- Individual hair growth
- Extension quality
- Quality of application
- Proper care
- Haircut
You should remove your bondings as soon as the bond areas have grown out and become visible. Removing the bondings in a timely manner also prevents unnecessary strain on your natural hair from the weight of the extensions.
4. Will the hair be damaged after bondings?
When real hair extensions are professionally applied and tape extension removal is done correctly, tape-ins are completely safe for healthy hair. Hair damage can occur only if mistakes are made during application and removal. Simply follow the extension tips below, and you will enjoy your dream hair for a long time:
It is absolutely important to use professional bonding extension accessories when attaching and removing bondings. To avoid hair damage, consider the following:
- Use a professional heat clamp with heat regulation.
- If you want to remove tape extensions, be sure to use a high-quality tape remover.
- Maintain a minimum distance of 5 to 10 mm between the bondings and the scalp.
- Removing bondings without a tool is an absolute no-go.
5. How to attach bondings?
Attaching bondings requires experience and finesse, just like removing them. If you want to attach the extensions with bondings yourself after removing them, here is a brief guide on how to rebond the extensions to your natural hair:
- Divide your hair carefully horizontally and secure the top section with a sectioning clip.
- Use a fine-tooth comb to section a strand of hair the size of the extension strand.
- Attach the template to the sectioned strand with two hair clips.
- Place the extension strand in a way that it encloses your own hair strand and is about 1 cm away from your scalp.
- Connect your hair strand to the bonding strand by pressing the keratin bonding together using the heat clamp for 3 to 5 seconds.
- During the cooling process, your natural hair strand and the bonding will form a permanent bond.
