Operating Instructions: Adhesive Removal
Follow these steps for effective and gentle adhesive removal:
- Preparation: Ensure the area is well-ventilated. Have a comb or brush and a bond breaker shampoo ready.
- Apply Solvent: Spray the C-22 Solvent directly onto the adhesive area of the hairpiece or extension. Ensure the adhesive is thoroughly saturated.
- Allow to Penetrate: Let the solvent sit for approximately 1 minute to allow it to break down the adhesive. For stubborn bonds, you may need to let it sit slightly longer or reapply.
- Gentle Removal: Once the adhesive begins to loosen, gently wipe or brush off the residue. Avoid harsh pulling or tugging to prevent damage to the hair system or natural hair.
- Cleanse: After removing the hairpiece or extension, use a bond breaker shampoo to thoroughly cleanse any remaining solvent and adhesive residue from both the hair system and your natural hair. Rinse with soap and water.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance after using the C-22 Solvent is crucial to ensure the longevity of your hair system and the health of your natural hair.
- Hair System Cleaning: After removing the adhesive, thoroughly wash the hair system with a gentle shampoo and conditioner to remove all solvent and adhesive traces.
- Natural Hair Care: Wash your natural hair and scalp with a clarifying or bond breaker shampoo to ensure no residue remains. Follow with a moisturizing conditioner.
- Storage: Store your hair system properly in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
- Adhesive Not Loosening: Ensure sufficient solvent has been applied and allowed adequate time to penetrate. For very strong or old adhesives, a second application or slightly longer waiting time may be necessary.
- Residue Remaining: After initial removal, if sticky residue persists, reapply a small amount of solvent to the affected area, gently rub, and then wash thoroughly with a bond breaker shampoo.
- Skin Irritation: If irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately and wash the affected area with soap and water. Consult a medical professional if irritation persists.
