How to remove quick weaves with no damage?

What is the quick weave?

Quick weave is a protective style to add length and volume to natural hair via bonding the hair weave to the wig cap.

Pros and cons of quick weave:

Here are the pros and cons of quick weave and its differences from traditional sew-in.

Pros:

Faster: Just as its name implies, quick weave takes less time for installation than sew-in hair. Typically, the installation of the quick weave takes about 1-1.5 hours, half the time for sew-in.

Cheaper: Quick weave is cheaper than sew-in or clips-in at the salon.

Less hair tension: Since the quick weave is to bond the hair weave to the wig cap, it brings less tension to your natural hair than sew-in and clips in

Cons:

Doesn't last as long as sew-in: Quick weave can last shorter than sew-in and clips-in. Quick weave can be last for about 4 weeks, while sew-in can be last at one's head for about 6 weeks with proper care.

Not friendly for sensitive scalp or sensitive skin: The usage of glue is necessary during the installation of quick weave, so quick weave may not be a friendly method for those allergies.

Limited occasions: Quick weave is not a sensible choice for rainy or swimming days.

It's pretty easy to remove quick weave from one's head. You can completely manage it by yourself at home with hair oil and warm water.

Step 3: Loosen the glue and remove the wig cap: Rinse the quick weave under warm water, or use a shower cap to cover your head for about half to an hour to loosen the glue. While you feel it's a little bit slide off, use your finger to pull off the wig cap from your head gently and slowly.

Step 4: Pull off the hair weave and wig cap: Gently pull off the hair weave that is attached to your natural hair firstly, if it's still a bit difficult to remove it off smoothly, apply more hair oil and let it sit for a few minutes. Then start to remove the wig cap with your fingers, if you're in trouble pulling away the wig cap, try to apply more oil product to the edge of the wig cap and massage it. So it begins to slide off.

Step 5: Shampoo your natural hair: After you finish removing all the human hair weave and the wig cap, apply shampoo to your hair and use your fingers to work the shampoo into your hair. Rinse your natural hair under warm water, so that the residual glue can be removed clearly.
