How to Remove a Quick Weave?

There are a few ways you can remove your quick weave. It all depends on what you want and the products you have available.

Some of the ways you can choose to remove your quick weave safely and easily without damaging your natural hair are;

Washing it out

Using a bonding remover

With a natural oil

Or using a conditioner

Let's see how you can use these methods step by step to remove your quick weave effectively.

1. Using the Wash-Out Method

The wash-out method is an easy way to remove your quick weave. It requires a few tools and simple steps.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use the washing method.

Step 1: Comb your weave

Comb your weave to remove any tangles from it. You can use a wide-tooth comb or a brush that will slide through the weave easily so you don't tug on your hair.

Step 2: Run warm water on your weave

Now place your weave under the basin and run some warm water on it, or just stand under running shower head. The glue should start to dissolve, and the quick weave will come off once the glue dissolves.

Make sure your hair is soaked properly and it touches your scalp. That way, it loses fast, and there's no glue left in your hair.

You can run the water on your hair as much as you want until the weave comes off finally.

Step 3: Pull off the wefts from the cap

Once the weave is out, it will be attached to the cap. Separate them gently with your hands. You can simply pull the tracks from the cap and they will come off perfectly.

Step 4: Washing your hair throughly

Now, your hair needs washing. Use a shampoo to remove any build-up or excess glue in your hair.

You can repeat the washing process with the shampoo if you feel it needs more shampooing. Rinse it next and follow up with a conditioner.

Step 5: Dry your hair

Dry your hair properly with a microfiber towel and comb it gently with a comb. While your hair should be clean and replenished with moisture at this point, you can go in with any moisturizer of your choice for more hydration.

2. Conditioner Method

Another fantastic method that's safe and works is using a conditioner. You will need a lot, so don't use your most expensive one. As long as it's a good conditioner, it is fine for removal.

Step 1: Section out leave out

Section out leave out

If you have a leave out, section it out so you can work with the areas with the weave. You may need a rattail comb to ensure all your natural hair and the weave area are neat.

Once it's sectioned, use a hair clip to hold the sections out of the way. You can wrap it a little before clipping it to your head to keep it nice and away from the rest of your head.

Step 2: Apply conditioner and remove the wefts carefully

Apply conditioner and remove the wefts carefully
  • Pour some conditioner on your hands and apply it to the base of the weave. Remember not to use the conditioner on your leave-out area since no weave tracks exist.
  • Once you start applying, do not hold back on the amount you put on your hair. It will help the weave come off faster.
  • Saturate the tracks well with the conditioner around the perimeter and massage it to break down the glue. The weave will slide off once you do so. If there are any difficult tracks to remove, add more conditioner to those areas and massage once again.
  • The tracks should all loosen once you apply a generous quantity of conditioner to your hair. And finally, you will get a whole cap with weaves.

Step 3:  Massage the conditioner and undo your braid

Massage the conditioner and undo your braid
  • After the tracks slide, massage the conditioner on your hair to loosen any glue residue in your hair. Then, if your hair is braided, take it down with a rattail comb.
  • After loosening the braids, section it and detangle it gently. You can use a wide-tooth comb to detangle or whatever brush that allows the glue to slide down easily.
  • Take each section at a time and detangle it properly. Use a rattail comb and conditioner to remove the hard glues in your hair.

Step 4: Wash your hair

Go in with your shampoo to cleanse your hair of the extra products and build-up. You can wash it twice with the shampoo to be sure it's clean before using a conditioner.

Rinse your hair from the conditioner and dry it properly with a towel.

Step 5: Moisturize your hair

To moisturize, use a leave-in conditioner or a natural oil of your choice then twist your hair in sections to seal in the moisture.

3. Bonding Remover Method

You can use a comb so you don't have strands lying around with the quick weave.

Next, pin it using a clip to keep it out of the way, then move to the following step.

Step 2: Apply bond remover and remove the weaves

  • Pick your bond remover and start applying it to the tracks of the wefts. Once you saturate it well, massage the tracks with your fingers to soften the glue hold.
  • As you go, apply the remover to prevent pulling or removing your natural hair. A good way to go is to drench the tracks with the bonding remover. That way, it slides easily and will not resist.
  • If there are any difficult areas left, simply put some more adhesive remover on those areas and massage gently.

Step 3: Remove the glue residue

Undo the braids to remove any glue residue stuck in your hair. You can use a fine-tooth comb for this process. Add more bond remover on areas where you find glues, then gently comb them.

Step 4: Wash your hair

Go ahead and wash your hair with a shampoo properly.

Rinse it with water and use a conditioner next. The conditioner helps moisturize and keep your hair healthy.

Now, rinse it afterward to remove any product in your hair.

Step 5: Dry and moisture your hair

Step 2: Section leave out areas

Section the leave-out areas and pin them using hair clips to keep them away from the quick weave.

Step 3: Apply oil and remove wefts

Use an applicator bottle to apply your oil choice to the weave tracks.

You can wait a few minutes to let the oil work slowly or massage the wefts gently before removing them. The oil should loosen the adhesive without making you pull the weave aggressively.

Keep applying your oil to the wefts until all the weave comes off gently.

Step 4: Loose your braid and remove the remaining glue

Now, massage the oil on your hair and scalp, then loosen your braids. With a fine-tooth comb, remove the remaining glues on your hair. Then, prepare to wash it.

Step 5: Wash your hair

Pick up your shampoo and conditioner and wash your hair thoroughly. You are to begin with the shampoo then go in with the conditioner after rinsing your hair.

Step 6: Moisture your hair
