Can i remove micro-ring hair extensions myself?

[Emmaz]

Hey Guys

I have micro-ring hair extensions in my hair used to put in a hair weft. The hairdresser wants 35 pounds to remove them and i cant really afford it as a student. Can i remove the micro-rings myself using plyers? I get the impression all you have to do is push them open with the plyers.. would it ruin my hair if i got my mum to do it?

Thanks

Emma

Yes you can! I put in micro ring extensions sometimes and always take them out myself. Just remember not to pull if the ring has not released properly. Also, don't be scared if you lose a bit of hair too. It's just what has shed whilst you have had your micro rings in

Just be careful if you are using regular pliers, it is very easy to mangle the beads and get them stuck. You could pick up an opener tool and get them out yourself no problem!

Be careful not to fold the rings in half instead of opening them, I did that on a couple of mine last time and had to cut those ones out, oops.. I recommend getting someone else to do it for you who has a better view of what they're doing!

You should be able to do it, I normally can, just make sure the ring is open enough so that you don't pull your hair out

You absolutely can remove them yourself--I just took out a microrings install this morning with no problems. I have an opener, but I usually just use the pliers-like end, not the circle-holes, to pop the rings open and I've never had any trouble. Good luck!

i always install and take mine out myself. but of course, if your mom or a friend is willing to help for the back of your head, it will make it easier
