Keratin nail hair consists of individual strands with a small keratin tip at the top that is melted onto your own hair. Because each strand sits on its own, the hair moves freely in every direction.
- What? – Individual strands, keratin bond melted with heat.
- Who? – Normal hair, wants movement and invisible bonds.
- How long? – Three to four months, removed and reinstalled.
- Pros/cons? – Pro: most natural fall. Con: takes longest to install.
When the method is the right choice
This is the method to choose when you want to wear your hair down, part it anywhere and put it up without having to think about where the rows are. The bonds are small and spread out over the head, so no section becomes heavy.
The installation takes time. We work through several hundred strands in one treatment and place them according to how your hair grows and falls. Expect a longer appointment.
Removal and care
Removal is done with a remover that dissolves the keratin without pulling on your own hair. This part shouldn't be done at home. The wrong remover or too much pulling is the most common reason clients lose hair during removal.
Care is simple but consistent: sulphate-free shampoo, no conditioner or oil near the bonds, brush with the right brush from the ends upwards and braid your hair before you sleep.
Frequently asked questions
Do the keratin bonds damage my own hair?
No, not if they're installed and removed correctly and not overloaded. We adjust the number of strands to how much your own hair can handle.
Can I use a flat iron and curling iron?
Yes, but avoid direct heat on the bond itself. Use heat protection and keep the tool at least a few centimetres from the attachment point.
What happens if a single strand comes loose?
It's normal for a few to come loose during the period. Keep the strand and bring it with you, and we'll put it back at your next visit.
