Best way to get sealed rooted hair removed? Help

Post by TinyGifts_Helena »

I recently purchased a baby who needs very badly redone. I am stripping the paint, and removing the hair, and starting fresh with him because his kit is stunning. His hair is sealed though, and it’s been very difficult taking it out. Does anyone have any tips or things to do that helped when you removed rooted hair? Anything to make it easier? He has dark hair, and I’m rerooting him blonde, so if you know how to prevent those dark holes, let me know! Thanks!!

I’ve heard some artists use “Neet” or “Nair” hair remover to remove the hair. Haven’t tried it myself, so maybe someone else knows if it works. :)

I cut the hair short, peel the glue off from the inside...it takes the hair with it...then I soak the head in bleach water overnight. The mohair melts. The previous holes are almost invisible once the new hair is rooted.
