Abstract:
1. A method of using a hair extension removal tool, the tool comprising a first and a second elongated member pivotally joined to each other, a distal end of the first elongated member and a distal end of the second elongated member forming first and second jaws capable of opening and closing as the first and second elongated members pivot with respect to each other, an inside surface of the first jaw and an inside surface of the second jaw facing each other when the first and second jaws are closed, the inside surface of the first or second jaw defining one or more longitudinal channels, a container attached to the first or second elongated member for containing a solvent, a tubing extending from the container to an opening on an inside surface of one of the first and second jaws, and an activation mechanism mechanically coupled to the container for ejecting an amount of the solvent from the container through the tubing, the method comprising: placing a strand of hair extension between the first and second jaws; pressing the activation mechanism to eject an amount of the solvent from the container through the opening of the tubing; allowing some of the ejected solvent to pool in the longitudinal channels; and applying a pressure to the strand of hair extension using the first and second jaws by pivoting the first and second elongated members with respect to each other, whereby a bonding material in the hair extension is dissolved and supplemental hair in the hair extension is detached.
