Keratin Extensions – Small Bonds and Full Styling Freedom
Keratin strands, also called nail hair, are small sections of hair with a keratin bond at the top. Keratin is the same protein hair is made of. During fitting the bond is softened with a heat tool and shaped around a thin section of your own hair. All the hair in this category is 100% Remy human hair.
Why many people choose keratin
The bonds are the smallest of all our methods and sit individually. That means the hair moves freely in every direction and you can wear it in a high ponytail, braid it or put it up without a single bond showing. That freedom is what separates keratin from tape and wefts, where the attachments sit in rows.
How many strands do you need?
Keratin strands are sold in packs of 20. 20–40 strands give highlights or fill-in in individual sections. 40–80 give thickness. 100–140 give length. 160–200 give an extra full result. Shorter lengths sit at the lower end of each range and longer hair at the upper end, since long hair needs more volume to avoid looking sparse at the ends.
Durability and resetting
Keratin strands stay in for 3–4 months. Unlike tape and microrings they are not moved up – the bond is removed with remover and the strand is reset from scratch with fresh keratin. The hair can be reused several times if it is in good condition.
Who is it for?
Keratin works in most hair types and is gentle even in finer hair, since each bond carries little weight. It is also a good choice if you train a lot, as the bonds handle sweat and washing well.
The most important part of the care
Separate the bonds with your fingers every day, particularly in the first weeks. If you do not, they can mat together at the root, which makes both resetting and removal more difficult. Never put oil, silicone or conditioner directly on the bonds – it can make them slip. Wash with a mild, sulfate-free shampoo, use heat protection and braid the hair loosely at night.
