Keratin bonds can be easily removed using these bonding pliers and a professional bonding remover. The bonding remover softens and dissolves the bond, and the pliers then "crack" it open. Afterward, any remaining keratin is carefully combed out with a tail comb. If the keratin is still very firm, repeat this process until each individual strand can be easily pulled out. Please always work carefully and without haste to avoid damaging your own hair.
