Removing hair extensions

Correction of tape hair extensions
The essence of correction of tape hair extensions is that we remove the extended strands using a special liquid, then remove the remaining glue from the hair (this is very important to do, because we have to re-extend the hair clear head). After this cleansing procedure is ready, we wash our hair with shampoo without moisturizers, preferably for oily hair, the mask can only be applied to the ends. Don't forget, we still have an extension procedure ahead of us. Then we change the old ribbons on the hair, be sure to clean this plate, and then we put new ribbons on the hair.
The final stage of correction is that we extend hair in the standard way, as you did before. By the way, the result of the procedure can always be seen in our before and after photos of hair extensions.

You can spend from 1.5 hours to 4 hours to correct the extension, if suddenly the situation is complicated, there are a lot of confusion, or the capsules are too hard when doing capsular extensions. There may also be glue left on the hair and it takes a long time to clean it out, as happens with tape extensions. I hope my article was useful to you and you will take a responsible approach to the issue of the need for hair correction.
Sincerely, your master - Ekaterina Andreeva.
Correction of hair extensions in Moscow is a procedure that will return your hair extensions to their original beauty.
Correction of hair extensions is a re-extension procedure in which old donor strands are used: first they are removed and then reattached to natural curls. The need to make a correction is due to the fact that the natural hair grows over time, the false strands fall down, the boundaries between them become noticeable, as a result the hairstyle loses its original appearance.
How often should hair extensions be corrected?
Timely correction is necessary to ensure that hair extensions look natural and natural. And the frequency of this procedure depends on several factors: the method by which the extension was performed, the features of caring for false strands, the growth rate and thickness of the natural hair. Sometimes correction is required monthly, while in other cases it is sufficient to carry it out once every 3-4 months. If you used hair extensions during extensions, experts recommend making corrections every 2-3 months, and after that - 2 times more often. False strands are worn the longest without needing correction after extensions using the Italian, microcapsule method and the use of the author’s technique. If your natural hair after the extension procedure is 3-4 cm thick, if “moved”, tangled strands appear, then it’s time to sign up for correction.
How does the correction procedure take place?
First stage. Removing hair extensions
Correction always begins with the removal of artificial curls. Hair removal after extensions is a procedure, the technology and duration of which depends on the method of extension and the number of bundles used. When correcting hair extensions using capsule techniques, a remover, a special solution, is applied to the attachment points of the natural and extension strands, which softens the capsules and allows the specialist to remove the extensions without the risk of injuring the client’s natural hair. With the help of special forceps, the capsules are broken, and the artificial strands are easily detached from natural hair. To correct tape extensions, a special spray is used that is applied to the tapes: the glue instantly dissolves, as a result, the false strands are removed quickly and painlessly.
Second phase. Preparing native hair
After removing the hair extensions, you need to put your natural curls in order: comb them well with a special comb with fine, thick teeth, free them from the remnants of the extension material, remove tangles, tangles, and fallen hairs. If necessary, the ends of the hair are trimmed and the roots are tinted. A haircut will help hide the transitions between natural and false strands, because after correction, the latter, as a rule, become 2-3 cm shorter. This stage ends with washing the hair with a special degreasing shampoo with a deep cleaning effect. During the work, the master will determine whether it is possible to re-extension immediately or whether it is worth waiting a little, taking a break from other people’s hair. It depends on how healthy the natural curls are. At the client’s request, a course of strengthening therapy for the hair is carried out, as well as other procedures that help restore its structure and restore hair healthy shine and vitality.
Third stage. Reencapsulation
With capsule extension methods, after removing old capsules, new ones are formed: the master first heats the keratin, then applies it to a previously prepared strand, and then uses special tongs to form a new attachment. The same is done for the remaining strands. This procedure is called recapsulation or recapsulation. Essentially, this is a replacement for the fixer. After this, you can proceed to the final stage of correction - re-extension of the prepared strands. The same strands, with timely correction and proper care of hair extensions, can be used repeatedly and are worn on average for about a year. Since there is no longer a need to spend money on new curls, the correction costs the client approximately half the price. Only materials, services of a specialist and additional strands are paid for: sometimes during correction there is a need to add them, since during wear, about 10% of the hair extensions are combed out for natural reasons.
Fourth stage. Regrowth
Once both your own hair and extensions are in order, you can begin the standard extension procedure. With the help of new fasteners that the master installs on the removed strands (capsules, resin, glue - depending on the technique), they are reconnected with the client’s natural hair. During correction, the master performs triple work, so it takes many times longer than the initial procedure. It is much easier and faster to remove false strands with French extensions; you do not need any special solutions or removers, as in other technologies. The master simply weaves the braids and re-sews the extensions to them, and with Japanese extensions he simply opens the rings, pulls the donor strands higher and connects them with the natural hair. When correcting hair extensions using the tape method, the tapes are not destroyed after removing the extensions; To re-build, you just need to change the adhesive polymer.
A few weeks after eyelash extensions, it is advisable to contact the specialist again to make a correction. This procedure involves replacing fallen or damaged artificial eyelashes - new hairs are glued in their place. As a result, the eyelash extensions look perfect again, just like on the first day after visiting the salon.
Description of the procedure
Natural eyelashes constantly grow - and fall out at the end of their life cycle. A few weeks after extensions, some of the artificial eyelashes fall out along with the natural ones; another part moves away from the eyelid during the growth of the natural eyelash, becomes deformed, curls, and bends. As a result, the aesthetic effect of the extension is lost. During the correction process, the master removes regrown and damaged artificial hairs and replaces them with new ones, and also glues the eyelashes in place of the lost ones, restoring the original thickness.
What determines the lifespan of artificial eyelashes?
- Speed of natural eyelash renewal– artificial hairs fall out along with the natural ones to which they were glued.
- Glue validity period– each composition has its own rate of destruction.
- Compliance with care rules– artificial eyelashes can be easily damaged if you rub your eyes or sleep with your face in the pillow; the glue with which they are attached is sensitive to high temperatures; alcohol and oils, which are contained in some cosmetics, are harmful to it.
- Professionalism of the master who did the extensions - if low-quality materials were used or the technology was violated, artificial eyelashes can fall out very quickly.
- Extension method– artificial tufts fall out faster than single hairs.
Varieties
Depending on the method of initial extension, the correction is:
When should you go for correction?
A natural eyelash “lives” on average from 30 to 40 days. The first correction is recommended to be carried out 2 – 3 weeks after extension. The specialist will assess the condition of the eyelashes and tell you when to come again. The standard interval between subsequent procedures is 1–1.5 months.
You can see the need for correction yourself; if your eyelashes are thinning and don’t look very aesthetically pleasing, then it’s time to go to the salon.
Correction is not done if natural eyelashes fall out profusely or become noticeably thinner or weakened. In this case, the hair extensions should be removed and the eyes should be given a rest.
Advantages
- Correction costs significantly less than new extensions.
- Usually the procedure doesn't take much time.
- During correction, you can slightly change the parameters of the initial extension, make eyes more expressive.
Flaws
- Floating cost– some craftsmen set the final price based on the volume of work performed; it is impossible to predict it in advance, and therefore assess the profitability of the offer.
- After correction, even very successful, eyelashes quickly lose their neat appearance- because natural hairs grow, which the master did not work with.
- Frequent corrections can damage natural eyelashes.
- You need to contact the same salon, the same specialist who did the extensions - most are professionals do not correct other people's work.
If the eyelashes are severely damaged or have noticeably grown from the roots, the specialist will most likely will not make a correction, but will offer overgrowth.
What to choose: correction or new extension?
- Hygiene – when wearing eyelash extensions, it is not always possible to wash your face properly and rinse the interlash space. After removing all artificial hairs, you can carry out the necessary hygiene procedures.
- Nutrition – after removing the extensions, the eyelashes are soaked in a restorative nutrient solution, which has a positive effect on their condition.
There is no point in making corrections if artificial eyelashes have been worn carelessly or for too long. When more than 60% of the hairs need to be replaced, the procedure becomes long and tedious, and after a short time a new correction will be required for the remaining eyelashes. In this case, it is easier and more effective to make a new extension.
With 3D extensions, no correction is made.
In the video, the master, using a diagram, shows and tells how eyelashes can look after several weeks of wear, and indicates the boundary conditions under which correction is possible and makes sense.
Technique, stages and duration of the procedure
In general, the procedure takes about 40 minutes. Before the correction, the master talks with the client, asks about the sensations while wearing artificial eyelashes, gives additional explanations and recommendations for caring for them.
- Eyelashes are combed and inspected to identify those that require replacement.
- The master - mechanically or chemically - removes all damaged or overgrown artificial eyelashes.
- The interlash space and remaining natural eyelashes are degreased.
- Artificial eyelashes are selected - according to color, thickness, length and curve - and will be glued to the vacant spaces.
- New eyelashes are glued to the place of the removed ones, as well as to grown natural eyelashes that were not included in the initial extension because they were still too short.
A master shows a client how to remove single eyelash extensions chemically - using a special remover.
How often can the procedure be repeated?
The correction should be repeated as necessary, focusing on appearance eyelashes The duration of the interval between procedures depends on individual characteristics - and can be from 2 weeks to 1.5 months.
Can it be done at home?
Correction of eyelash extensions does not require special equipment and therefore can be carried out at home. The main thing is to pay attention to the quality of the materials used (glue, artificial eyelashes). It is recommended to use a special remover cream; it will significantly simplify the procedure. Do not allow remover to get into your eyes or onto those eyelash extensions that you do not plan to remove.
Approximate cost in salons / private masters
The cost of correction depends on a number of factors, the main one of which is the condition of the eyelashes with which the client came to the specialist. On average, salons charge 2,000 rubles for a procedure.
Prices for correction from private masters – from 1000 rubles.
After a few weeks of wear, eyelash extensions usually lose their perfect appearance. Correction will help bring it back for a while. The very first procedure gives the best effect; in the future, everything depends on the condition of the eyelashes. The decision about what is best to carry out in each specific case - correction or new extension - is usually made by the specialist; his opinion must be listened to.
Contact a beauty salon and eliminate the risk of damaging your own hair! TO this process You should approach it responsibly, because with its help you return your hair to its excellent appearance, giving it more naturalness and life. A professional hairdresser will always choose the appropriate method depending on the technology used for the extension. The methods differ in methods and time costs.
Hair removal occurs carefully and accurately
With capsule extension
In our salon, the master removes hair using a special liquid (spray) and tongs. This removal itself is painless and takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the volume. But if you have confusion and/or you started with correction, the process becomes more complicated and delayed.
If correction or so-called “recapsulation” is carried out, then all the hair is removed, new capsules are made and everything is built up again. Recapsulation is necessary because the keratin fixative contained in the capsules loses its properties over time. In addition, a few additional strands are usually added to compensate for hair loss due to combing during wear (about 10%). The procedure must be repeated every 2 months.
Prices
Correction
220-260 strands | 260-350 strands | 350-440 strands | 440-550 strands |
3 500 rub | 4 000 rub | 4 500 rub | 5 000 rub |
The price can be additionally increased by 500 and 1000 rubles depending on the degree of tangling of the hair. In the case of large capsule sizes, the price increases by 500 rubles.
With tape extensions
Removal is also painless, but much faster. A special spray containing alcohol is applied to the tapes and dissolves the polymer that holds the strands. Removing one strand can take anywhere from a few seconds to a minute, resulting in the entire process taking no more than 30 minutes.
The correction will also include attaching new tapes, increasing the total time of the technician to 1-2 hours. As a rule, we recommend carrying out the procedure at least once a month, however, subject to all wearing standards, the specialist on an individual basis can allow an increase in the period to two months, without the risk of loss of quality.
Rules that will help increase wear time:
- You should not comb your hair while it is wet; you must wait until it is completely dry.
- You can't go to bed with wet hair.
- You should not apply various masks and conditioners to the roots and places of attachment - this can lead to the falling off of the extended strands and damage to their structure.
- It is necessary to use shampoo that does not contain oils or other greasy moisturizers.
Prices

Please note that the cost of correction is usually half the price of extensions from scratch.
