These Hair Extension Removal Pliers, also known as Bond Cracker Pliers, are designed for professional removal of compatible Nail-Tip / U-Tip and keratin-bonded hair extensions.
The spring-loaded pliers are used to compress and crack the keratin attachment before a compatible bond-removal solution is applied, helping the remover work into the bond during the professional removal process.
The pliers are designed to apply controlled pressure around compatible keratin attachments, helping to crack and break the bond into smaller sections before removal solution is introduced.
Breaking the attachment in several areas can help expose more of the keratin to the remover and assist with the subsequent release of the extension.
A spring-loaded mechanism assists with reopening the handles between uses, making the pliers practical when working through multiple extension bonds during a professional removal service.
Once the compatible keratin bond has been carefully cracked with the removal pliers, apply an appropriate amount of 50ml Acetone Bond Remover to the attachment.
Allow the remover suitable time to work into the keratin before using the pliers again to further break apart the softened bond.
Carefully position the plier jaws around the keratin attachment and compress the bond in several areas. Apply the compatible remover and allow it time to penetrate the attachment.
Reapply the pliers as required to work the softened keratin apart. Once the bond has been sufficiently broken down, carefully release the extension from the natural hair.

Always check the product's specifications and compatibility before use. Professional training is recommended for semi-permanent hair extensions.
These individual Chinese Remy human hair extensions use a pre-bonded keratin Nail-Tip / U-Tip attachment and are fitted professionally using a fusion heat connector.
At approximately 0.5g per strand, this range provides a lighter individual strand that is useful for flexible placement and blending.
These extensions are supplied in quantities of 25 strands.
As a general guide, approximately 150–200 strands (6–8 bundles) may be used for a full-head application, while around 75–100 strands (3–4 bundles) may be used for a half-head application.
The exact amount required depends on your natural hair thickness, density, existing length and the finished result you want to achieve. We recommend discussing the required quantity with your hairstylist before ordering.
Nail-Tip extensions use a heat-fusion fitting method. The pre-bonded keratin tip is softened using a professional fusion heat connector and secured around an appropriately sized section of natural hair.
View our full Nail-Tip / U-Tip fitting guide.
Nail-Tip extensions should be removed carefully using suitable professional removal products and tools to soften and separate the keratin attachment from the natural hair.
View our full Nail-Tip / U-Tip removal guide.
With suitable aftercare, the extensions can be worn for approximately 2–3 months. They can be washed, curled and straightened, while care should be taken around the keratin attachments.

1. Identify the fitted hair extension attachment before starting. Confirm the bond type and select a compatible professional removal solution.

7. Allow sufficient time for the solution to penetrate and soften the attachment.

9. When the attachment has sufficiently loosened, gently release the extension from the natural hair using the correct professional removal technique.

• These pliers are designed for hair extension removal, not application.
• Always identify the keratin bond type before selecting a compatible removal solution.
• Work through small sections so that each attachment can be accessed clearly.
• Keep the jaws centred on the keratin bond rather than the surrounding natural hair.
• Crack the hardened attachment in several places using controlled pressure.
• Avoid excessive squeezing that could damage or trap natural hair.
• Apply the appropriate bond remover after cracking the attachment, following the product instructions.
• Allow sufficient time for the solution to soften the bond before further compression.
• Support the natural hair near the attachment when gently releasing the extension.
• Never pull, twist or force an extension that remains attached.
• For stubborn bonds, repeat the appropriate remover and bond-breaking stages instead of increasing pulling force.
• Carefully remove loosened keratin fragments and accumulated shed hair after the extension has been released.
• Refer to the HairXtensions Nail-Tip / U-Tip Removal Guide for step-by-step professional guidance.
• PROFESSIONAL USE RECOMMENDED. Appropriate training in pre-bonded hair extension removal is important.
• Use only with compatible Nail-Tip / U-Tip and keratin-bonded attachments.
• Take care when positioning the plier jaws close to the scalp, skin and natural hair.
• Avoid excessive compression that could pinch, cut or damage natural hair.
• Do not pull or forcibly remove extensions that remain attached.
• Select the correct bond removal solution for the attachment type. Italian keratin and Chinese keratin systems may require different removers.
• Follow all safety instructions supplied with compatible chemical removal products.
• If using an acetone-based remover, ensure suitable ventilation, appropriate personal protection and separation from flames, heat and ignition sources.
• Do not use damaged pliers, misaligned jaws or a defective spring mechanism.
• Clean the pliers after use according to the tool's material and manufacturer's care instructions.
• Dry thoroughly before storage to help prevent deterioration.
