The Procedure of 7*7 Closure Removal

Removing a 7x7 closure is similar to other closure sizes, but it requires special attention due to its larger size and extended coverage area. By following the steps of closure removal in sequence, you can easily remove your lace closure and ensure its safety for longer. 

Gathering Removal Tools

One needs specific tools to make the process easy for a smooth removal process.

Gather all the tools before beginning the process. The tools one needs are:

• Lace Wig Adhesive Remover
• Cotton pads or swabs
• A wide-tooth comb
• Hair clips
• Shampoo and conditioner
• A soft towel
• Wig Stand or Mannequin Head

Preparing the Hair

The closure must be prepared for removal. Start the process by detangling the closure hair using a wide-tooth comb. This will reduce unnecessary tension, making the process easy.

Now, use hair clips to separate the lace closure from the rest of your hair. This will help in the easy management of hair. One can wet the hair with water or detangling solutions. This helps soften the lace adhesives, making the process easy. 

Loosening the Adhesive

Gently lift the edges of the closure from one side and work all the way around. You can use fingertips or hair clips for this purpose. For more stubborn areas, you can use scissors, but be careful to avoid lace tearing.

Apply Adhesive Remover

Apply a high-quality lace wig adhesive remover, like the Citrus Oil Extract available at Private Label Extensions, to the lace. It is essential to break down the glue used to keep the closure in place.

To remove the glue, soak a cotton pad with adhesive remover and gently apply it to the edges of the lace. Ensure thorough soaking of the lace with adhesive remover.

Let the Remover Work

Let the remover sit for some time after applying it. This will help the remover break down the glue effectively. Take your time with the next step. If the glue is not broken down completely, the 7x7 closure might tear or damage during removal and cause hair damage. So, be patient during the process.

Lifting the Lace Closure

When you are sure all adhesive has been broken down, gently lift the lace closure. Begin the process from one end and work all the way around. Using your fingers to lift the closure is advised so that natural hair is not pulled harshly along with it.

If you have difficulty removing it at any point, the glue may not have broken down there. Apply adhesive remover to that place and leave for a few minutes before lifting the closure.

Never apply force to the lace closure while lifting; it can harm natural hair and tear the closure. That's why you need to stick to your 7x7 closure caring tips.

Removing Residual Adhesive

Some residues of adhesive are usually left on the scalp and lace. These can be removed as follows:

From the Scalp: To remove adhesive from the scalp, soak a cotton pad in adhesive remover and gently rub away the adhesive residues from the scalp.

From the Lace: Apply the adhesive remover to the cotton swab and rub it on the lace. Do the process gently and carefully, as the lace material is very soft and delicate and can easily be damaged.

Nourishing the Natural Hair

The cleansing of natural hair follows the removal of the 7 by 7 closure through the following process:

Washing: Wash natural hair with mild, sulfate-free shampoo to clean the scalp and hair. This will remove all the adhesive residues and help nourish the scalp.

Conditioning: To hydrate the hair, apply a sulfate-free conditioner and detangle them. Conditioner must be left on the hair for some time.

Drying the Hair

After washing and conditioning, let the hair dry. One can dry hair with a towel, but rubbing hair may cause frizz and breakage. So opt for squeezing the water out of the hair followed by air drying. You can also use a blow dryer in a relaxed setting.

Cleaning the Closure

Proper care is necessary to make 7x7 closure long-lasting. Clean the closure using a mild shampoo or wig cleaner. Use conditioner after rinsing the hair. Let the closure air dry before storage.

Storing the Lace Closure

Once your 7x7 closure is completely clean and dried, store it in a cool, dry place. Do not expose the closure to direct sunlight. To maintain closure shape, use a wig stand or mannequin head for storage.

Maintenance Tips

Some essential tips for keeping your natural hair healthy and increasing the lifespan of 7x7 closure are as follows:

• Do not use excessive amounts of adhesives to install the 7x7 closure. The adhesives may seep out through the lace, disrupting the natural look. This also makes the closure's removal challenging, leading to damage to the closure.
• Focus on the thorough cleaning of natural hair and closure regularly. This helps overcome the buildup of products like oils, dirt, and adhesives.
• When you are not wearing the closure, style your natural hair with protective products. This helps the hair breathe and be tension-free.
