Do you love having the freedom to style your hair the way you would your natural hair? Do you consider other extension methods to be heavy and prefer a lightweight option? Consider Fusion or Bonded hair extensions as a useful option.
Fusion or bonded hair extensions are pre-sectioned and pre-weighed strands of hair that have a keratin bond at one end and are attached to neatly sectioned strands of your hair by using heat to bond the keratin to your hair. This technique is a popular choice for individuals seeking long-term hair extensions because they are considered permanent and can be done with human and synthetic hair types.
Advantages of Fusion or Bonded Hair Extensions
- Long-lasting: Depending on maintenance and hair growth, fusion extensions can last for several weeks to months.
- Natural look and feel: When applied correctly, and on the right hair type, fusion extensions provide a natural and seamless appearance that blends well with your natural hair.
- Versatility: Hair styling can be done as you normally would since the extensions are securely bonded to your natural hair.
- No need for glue or adhesives: No glue or adhesives are required, thus reducing the risk of damage to the natural hair.
Considerations
- Professional application: Fusion or bonded hair extensions should be applied by a well-trained and experienced stylist to ensure proper application and minimize the risk of damage.
- Maintenance: For most people, maintenance is required due to regrowth, for some people, bonds may loosen and require replacement.
- Removal process: The removal process should be done by a well-trained professional to prevent damage because removing fusion extensions involves using a special solvent or bond remover to break down the keratin bond.
- Cost: Fusion hair extension installation is more expensive than some other installation methods due to the time and skill required for application.
Always follow the care instructions provided by your stylist and be sure to schedule regular appointments to maintain the health of your natural hair and the extensions. If you’re considering fusion or bonded hair extensions, seek out a professional stylist who specializes in this method to discuss your options and ensure a successful application.
