    I need to take my extensions out because they have been in way too long. There is nobody nearby who knows how to do it.

    How can I do it at home? Do I use acetone as the solution and crack them with pliers?

    You eally should not try to remove them youself. Great Lengths are so damaging, and even with professional removal, it will damage your hair. hjaving said that, if your dead set on removing them...I found this:
    Great Lengths Hair Extensions are applied with an extremely
    hard glue, that does not break down with normal extension
    removing creams, or oils, so don't waste your money on these
    products if you have had GL-Hair extensions attached to your hair.
    They use GL-hard glue which is extremely hard on your hair. Do
    not listen to the ("Keratin-Polymer-Safe-Almost like Normal Hair")
    stories that you read on the web about GL. Its the worse thing you
    can put on your hair. Prior to removal shampoo hair, & while hair
    is wet apply SYSTEM-911 EMERGENCY PAK. A Reconstructor for
    damaged hair. Its by Hayashi Systems, & is distributed out of
    Los Angeles, & London. You can buy it at a beauty supply store.
    Put the entire 8 oz. on your head, & especially the extensions!!
    Massage it in, & then put some plastic wrap over your head & leave
    this cream in your hair for 2 hours. I left it in my hair for 3 hours.
    This will loosen-up the hard glue & make it easier to remove the
    extensions. At least 30 extensions just fell out while I was in the
    shower. The rest of them I had to pull on, or twist & they finally
    came out. Great Lengths didn't have any good advice on removal.
    Even applying a drop of pure ammonia will not break down this hard
    bonding glue. Not even bleach, or pure acetone. I got the best advice
    above, & with "Hard glue", you may need to cut some of them out.
    Never ever allow anyone to apply your extensions with hard glue!!!!!!


    Good luck....

    When I had mine removed, it was ..I swear to god... accetone that they use for fingernails .. with a gauze thing soaked in it..wrapped ONLY around the actual bonding and then used to slide it down and pliers were used for those that didn't slide fast enough

    I had 6 bundles used ..Only lost like 6 lil' hair bonds in the course of 4 months. it took 3 hours to remove with 2 people working on it. Cost around 120 dollars plus a 50 dollar tip.

    I had no matting or damage though,so I'm not sure how it would go over doing it yourself with damage etc.

    You will need a trim and appear to lose a ton of hair right afterwards since ou don't get to shed normally.

    Is there ANYONE within a 60 mile radius that can do this for you?
