Going to just peel right off...
Oop, that's my Frenchie, sorry.
I'm Priscilla Valles, celebrity hair
extensionist/stylist.
And I'm here with Refinery29.
I'm here to show you how to properly remove
your tape extensions from home.
Before you see my hair transformation, subscribe below.
Hair is my whole life.
I discovered my passion for hair when I
was so young.
I was probably like five or six years old.
And I have a lot of cousins, and we're all close in age.
And I would cut their hair.
One would have like crooked bangs.
One would have like, you know, I would just like chop it.
I got caught every single time.
I specialize in hair extensions.
That's just what I do.
Extensions, extension cutting, which is with a razor, not scissors.
I've learned, actually, every single method,
and I only offer the two that I really think
are the best, which is tape-in extensions and keratins.
We are going to be removing my top row.
I am wearing Glam Seamless Hair Extensions.
I've had them in for a couple months now.
I'm going to clip my hair out of the way here.
You can see the tape-in extension right there.
The removal solution that we're gonna be using
is the Glam Seamless Hair Extensions'.
And this is Rapid Release Remover.
And all you need to do is do a couple of sprays on it.
And you put your finger right in the middle
and you feel the sandwich.
You want to get your finger in between the
sandwich of extensions, and it'll just come
right off, just like that.
Everybody's hair grows a little differently, but I've got
some clients that I remove every
four weeks, and then I have some clients that
remove every eight to twelve weeks.
There's one.
And then you just want to kind of go back
with a fine-tooth comb.
If there's any residue, you just wanna comb
through that stickiness.
And now we're gonna take out the next one.
You kind of spray on the tape but also above
it because you want to let the liquid get
inside of the tape extension.
Then you just put your finger in the middle,
and because these are so grown out and old,
they're just peeling right off.
I think it's all about looking extremely natural
when it comes to extensions.
That has to do with matching the hair textures,
matching the hair color, shaping, and cutting
so that the ends of it look really natural.
For the viewers wanting to take out their
extensions by themselves,
if you are in keratin
individual bonds and if you're in sew-in wefts as well,
I would recommend holding on to a
little bit longer and waiting for your stylist to remove those.
Clip.
Because that requires scissors and there's
a braid sometimes.
Spray and peel.
The cost of the extensions are different per client,
and there's so many different types of hair.
There's virgin hair, there's manufactured hair.
It just really, really depends.
It can vary anywhere from a thousand dollars
to ten thousand dollars.
It just depends on what the client's really looking for.
And the quality of hair with extensions, you
pay for what you get.
Because I'm cheating,
I didn't take everything out, but my top is out.
I really just have two on my sides now,
but it feels so much better.
So basically, even when I'm removing on clients,
I like to start from the top and work my way down.
I recommend doing your sides first, just so
that you can get the feel of it.
Once you get to the back, you can position
your mirrors so that you can see what you're doing.
If not, then the way that I like to do it
is I like to just feel it.
And as long as you keep your section up and
keep putting the hair up top, you just work
your way down.
Nothing gets left behind.
No residue gets left in the hair because you
are working section by section.
It's important to take them out properly because
if you don't, you can cause damage.
And, you know, a lot of extensions have a bad
reputation because of a bad application
or because of bad removal.
So as long as you have the right tools
and you remove properly,
then there is no damage.
