The basic concept behind fusion bonding is to fuse the extension with the keratin protein onto the natural hair, strand by strand. This unique process involves applying pre-tipped hair that consists of a small group of hair to form a strand. Fusion hair extensions can be applied in different ways: hot or cold fusion. As with any service, it is advisable that you buy quality hair extensions and get an experienced, trained extension technician to install.
Hot Fusion
Hot fusion uses heat to soften the bond of the extension before attaching it to a section of your hair. The type of hair extensions needed for this method is u-tip hair. You will need about 200-300 strands, depending on the fullness desired. This method will last 6 months or longer with proper care.
Cold Fusion
This newer technique uses no heat which makes it gentle on your natural hair and scalp. This method uses a keratin-based polymer in the shape of a shoe string, that is inserted into a copper cylinder attached to the natural hair, that is then securely cramped together. As this method uses no heat, it is good for fine or thin hair. The type of hair extensions needed for this method is i-tip hair. You will need about 200-300 strands, depending on the fullness desired for a full head application. This method will last 6 months or longer with proper care.
