Wrong removal technique can damage natural hair, break strands, or leave adhesive residue. A professional uses the right tools and techniques that protect your natural hair.<\/p>\n<h2>Keratin Bond Removal<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.connecthair.fi\/en\/blog\/keratin-bond-vs-tape-in-extensions-which-is-right-for-you\/\">Bonds<\/a> are removed with a special plier tool that crushes the keratin bond. The bond then dissolves with solvent and is carefully removed. The process takes about 1\u20132 hours and is painless.<\/p>\n<h3>After Removal<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The stylist thoroughly brushes and washes hair<\/li>\n<li>Loose hair (normal, natural shedding) rinses away<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.connecthair.fi\/en\/blog\/scalp-care-with-extensions-2026\/\">scalp gets to &#8220;rest&#8221;<\/a> \u2013 we recommend 1\u20132 weeks before new extensions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tape Extension Removal<\/h2>\n<p>Tapes are removed by applying solvent on the tape. The adhesive softens and tapes slide off gently. The process is faster than bond removal, typically 30\u201360 minutes.<\/p>\n<h2>Reattachment<\/h2>\n<p>Quality human hair extensions can be reattached 1\u20132 times:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bonds:<\/strong> Old bonds are cut off and new keratin bonds added. Hair must be in good condition.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tapes:<\/strong> Tape strips are replaced with new ones \u2013 same hair material, new adhesive. Usually 2\u20133 rounds possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Never Do This Yourself<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Don&#8217;t pull extensions out by force<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t use regular oil as solvent \u2013 it doesn&#8217;t dissolve keratin sufficiently<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t cut extensions off with scissors \u2013 you may cut your natural hair<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Book a removal appointment at your salon in advance. A good salon will assess extension condition and recommend next steps.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-crosslinks\">\n<h2>Read more on these topics<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.connecthair.fi\/en\/blog\/keratin-bond-vs-tape-in-extensions-which-is-right-for-you\/\">Keratin Bond vs. Tape-In Extensions \u2013 Which Is Right for You?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.connecthair.fi\/en\/blog\/hair-extension-care-guide-make-them-last-longer\/\">Hair Extension Care Guide \u2013 Make Them Last Longer<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.connecthair.fi\/en\/blog\/hair-extensions-price-in-finland-2025-complete-price-guide\/\">Hair Extension Prices in Finland \u2013 Complete Price Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"news-shop-cta\">\n<h2>Explore ConnectHair&#8217;s Selection<\/h2>\n<p>Find quality hair extensions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.connecthair.fi\/en\/product-category\/kanekalon-hair-fibres\/\">kanekalon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.connecthair.fi\/en\/product-category\/materials\/\">care products<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.connecthair.fi\/en\/shop\/\">our online shop<\/a>.
