FAQ
What are Keratin Hair Extensions?
A Keratin stick is heated in a hot melt gun. A small amount of natural Remy hair is then bonded to a small section of your own hair to add length and thickness. The Keratin Bond can withstand both heat and chemical treatments. An adhesive remover is used to remove the hair extensions dissolving the glue bonds to a powdery substance.
Why chose the Keratin Hair Extension method?
Keratin Fusion Extensions are very hard wearing extensions. They can only stay in for up to 16 weeks maximum to ensure no matting of the hair between the extension and your scalp occurs. Keratin Fusion Extensions offer a natural appearance for thickness, and a wide range of fashion colours for highlights.
How long will my Keratin Hair Extensions last?
Keratin Fusion Extensions can 2-4 months depending on your hair type and aftercare. You must use a leave in conditioner and a micro extenion brush to extend the life of your extensions and get longer wear out of them. If left much longer than 12-16 weeks your own hair at the root may become matted and it will become more difficult remove the extensions.
How noticeable will my Keratin Hair Extensions be?
When applied professionally the Keratin Fusion Extensions are almost undetectable. Only 100% Remy Human Hair is used and it is a blend the colours to match your own hair perfectly. The Keratin Fusion Extensions feel like your own hair. You may even forget that you are even wearing them.
How long does it take to fit Keratin Hair Extensions?
Individual Keratin Fusion Extensions take just minutes to apply. A half a head of Keratin Fusion Extensions takes approximately 1-2 hours depending on the thickness of your existing hair and a full head takes approximately 2-5 hours again depending on the thickness of your hair.
Will Keratin Hair Extensions damage my hair?
No as long as they are maintained properly. Keratin Fusion Extensions must only be fitted by qualified Hair Extension Technicians. You will be advised on maintenance when you have them fitted. I advise all clients on aftercare and suitable products designed for use with Keratin Fusion extensions. It is also advisable to use an extension friendly brush to get the most out of your extensions. The most important advice for Keratin Fusion extensions is the removal as the hair may become damaged if not removed properly. During the removal you will notice you lose some hair. Your hair sheds on a daily basis as part its natural process. It is normal to lose 50-100 hairs a day! Just because you have extensions in doesn’t mean that this process stops. It continues but since your hair is held together by the extensions the hair is trapped in the installation and, therefore, not falling out into your sink or latching on to your comb or brush. When you remove your hair extensions, all of the normal hair shed is then released and it appears as though a lot of hair is coming out all at once. If you are wearing your hair extensions for 8 to 12 weeks that’s around 5,000 hairs shed during this time naturally. The difference is that immediately after removing extensions your hair will feel thinner to you, not only because you just removed the hair extensions but because from your perspective a large amount of hair has fallen out suddenly.
