Key Takeaways & Highlights

  • Professional extension removal prevents hair breakage and root strain.
  • Specialized organic solvents dissolve tape adhesives cleanly without pulling hair.
  • Includes scalp detox wash, natural hair trim, and extension re-taping.
  • Takes 1.5 to 2 hours every 6-8 weeks.

As your natural hair grows about 0.5 inches per month, your permanent tape-in or micro-ring extensions move downward away from the scalp. To maintain weight balance and prevent tangling, a professional **refitting session every 6 to 8 weeks** is essential at Ringlets Nanganallur.

Step-by-Step Refitting Workflow

  1. Gentle Bond Removal: We spray a citrus or alcohol-based release solvent onto tape tabs or unclamp micro-beads cleanly.
  2. Adhesive Clarification: Any remaining tape residue is gently combed out using nourishing oil serum.
  3. Natural Scalp Detox Wash: Your natural hair is thoroughly washed with clarifying shampoo and conditioned.
  4. Extension Re-taping / Re-tipping: The original human hair extensions are cleaned, fitted with fresh medical-grade tape, and prepared for re-use.
  5. Re-installation: Strands are re-applied closer to the scalp roots for another 6-8 weeks of flawless wear.
