What type of product is typically used to remove hair additions?

The use of oil or solvent for removing hair additions is the most effective option due to the properties of these substances. Hair additions, such as extensions or bonds, often use adhesives that are resistant to water and shampoo, making these methods less effective for removal. Oils and solvents work to break down the adhesive compounds that hold the hair additions in place.

Specifically, oil can penetrate and dissolve sticky residues effectively, while solvent-based products are designed to specifically target and dissolve adhesives carefully, allowing for a gentler removal process without causing damage to the natural hair or the scalp. This makes oil or solvent the preferred choice in professional settings for achieving a clean and safe removal of hair additions.

Other options, such as water or shampoo, may not effectively break down the adhesives, and alcohol could dry out the hair or irritate the skin without providing the necessary removal efficacy.
