REMOVING HAIR EXTENSIONS

Sewn-in Extensions:

• Tie all your hair in a ponytail (and separate the extension part of your hair into a different ponytail, if possible).
• Look for the thread’s end and cut the thread cautiously. You can follow your fingers along the line of your scalp to understand where the sewing originally started. You have to be very slow while you snip, as there are high chances that you may cut your natural hair accidentally!

 Pro Tip: Always have assistance or seek professional help.

• Next, unwind the rest of the string from your scalp. Utilize one hand to hold your regular hair to maintain a safe distance from any awkward pulling or breaking, while the other delicately removes the rest of the string.
