What it looks like
Small strands with a keratin bond
Keratin extensions, also called nail hair, are human hair in small strands with a keratin bond at the top. Each strand is attached to a thin strand of your own hair with heat, so the bond forms around the hair.
- 1. What?
- Strands with a keratin bond, attached with heat
- 2. Who?
- All textures – very tight curls get a consultation first
- 3. How long?
- 3–4 months, then re-bonding
- 4. Pros/cons?
- Moves freely and naturally – needs a skilled hand
How it is installed
Strand by strand
- We section off a thin strand of your own hair
- The keratin bond is placed on the strand and shaped around the hair with heat
- We continue strand by strand until the amount is right
- After 3–4 months we re-bond
When re-bonding we release the bond with remover and set the strand again with new keratin bonds – it is not moved up like tape or micro rings.
Care
Make your hair last longer
Washing
Mild, moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Wash downward, not in circles.
Attachments
Keep conditioner, oil and masks off the keratin bonds – otherwise they can slip.
Brushing
Start at the ends and work your way up with an extension brush.
Heat
Use heat protection and keep flat irons and curling irons away from the bonds.
