How Long Does Professional Removal Take, and Will It Damage My Natural Hair?
Professional salons take about 30-60 minutes to remove tape-in hair extensions, depending on the number of extensions.
For example:
20-30 tablets: about 20-30 minutes
40-60 tablets (full head): about 40-60 minutes
Installation time exceeds 10 weeks or colloid aging: may take 60-90 minutes
Proper removal generally does not harm your hair.
The key is:
Use professional film removal solution to fully dissolve the colloid.
Separate the film only after the adhesive layer is fully released.
Do not tear the film off forcefully.
After removing the adhesive residue, wash your hair.
Situations that are truly prone to injury usually include:
Forcing the film to pull.
No adhesive remover was used.
The film was severely aged but still forcibly removed.
Demolished by domestic violence.
As long as you follow the correct procedure, most of the hair that falls out is actually hair that has already entered the natural shedding cycle (Telogen), not by the film itself.
