Pre-bonded hair.

Pre-bonded fusion human hair extensions are hair extensions that are bonded to a person's natural hair using a special adhesive called keratin bond. The hair extensions are made from real, human hair, and are pre-bonded with adhesive at the factory.

The bonds are then activated with heat, such as a special tool or hair extensions iron, and applied to the natural hair. The result is a long, full head of hair that blends seamlessly with the natural hair.

Pre-bonded fusion human hair extensions are popular because they can last for many months and give a natural and voluminous look. They can be styled and treated just like natural hair, with regular washing, conditioning, and styling. However, they do require periodic maintenance, such as re-bonding or removing the hair extensions when they grow out.

Pre-bonded human hair extensions refer to a type of hair extension that comes with a pre-applied adhesive as said, which is used to attach the hair extensions to the person's natural hair. The hair extensions are bonded to the natural hair using heat or ultrasonic waves.

This technique creates a strong and secure bond, which can last for several weeks or months, depending on the quality of the extensions and the maintenance routine of the wearer.

Fusion hair extensions (also known as bonding or pre-bonded hair) are fused to the natural hair using different adhesives such as Italian keratin bonds. The application involves a machine called a hair extensions iron or hair connector which essentially glues the hair to individual strands of the natural hair.

Two ways to apply the human hair extension using a hot fusion or cold fusion system:

Hot Fusion Pre-bonded hair

The Hot Fusion method is the simplest method in which the keratin bonding is attached to the tip of the extension's hair and is applied at the root of your hair using a fusion heat connector. Each strand of extensions is bonded with the highest quality Italian Keratin Bond, the safest natural bonding agent.

Human hair extensions can be trimmed, curled, flat ironed, and dyed. The Extensions can be removed from your hair so easily without causing any damage to your natural hair.

Maintenance time:

They are considered semi-permanent as they stay in your hair for up to 3-4 months depending on your hair type and the regrowth and how you take care of human hair extensions. After then, you need to remove and re-apply them.

Cold Fusion Pre-bonded Hair 

The Cold Fusion method is the newest method of applying keratin bonding using an Ultrasonic Cold Fusion Machine which does not use heat. Ultrasound vibrations soften the human hair extension bonds so that they can either be molded into a rounded bond for volume or wrapped around the hair to form a flat, seamless bond.

Each strand of human hair extensions is bonded with the highest quality Italian Keratin Bond, the safest natural bonding agent. The Extensions can be trimmed, curled, flat ironed, and dyed. The Extensions can be removed from your hair so easily without causing any damage to your natural hair.

Maintenance time:

They are considered semi-permanent as they stay in your hair for up to 4 months depending on your hair type and the regrowth and how you take care of the human hair extensions. After then, you need to remove and re-apply them.

Tape-in hair 

Tape-in human hair extensions are a type of hair extension that is attached to the hair using double-sided tape. The hair extensions are made of high-quality human hair and are cut to match the length and texture of the natural hair.

The hair extensions are applied to the hair using a special adhesive called tape that bonds the hair extensions to the natural hair. The hair extensions can last up to six to eight weeks and can be removed easily without causing damage to the natural hair.

Tape-in human hair extensions are a popular choice among women who want to add length and volume to their hair without the hassles of other types of hair extensions.

Tape-in hair extensions are exactly what they sound like. The human hair extensions are pre-taped and then taped/glued together on either side of your hair.

We usually call it Tape-in Hair or Pre-Taped Hair. It is like Skin weft, easy and convenient to wear and remove, as the double side tape has already been put on the tape hair weft.

It is simple, completely invisible, and gives an all-natural appearance. It looks like the hair is growing from your scalp, the hair is hand sewn into a clear skin base and then, is attached to a durable double-sided invisible adhesive tape.

You will feel comfortable wearing this kind of human hair extension because the Tape Hair Extensions are completely flexible and see-through, so you can part the hair creatively and pull your locks into partial and full updos without fear!

Maintenance time:

Tape-in human hair extensions are considered semi-permanent. Typically, they last 2 – 3 months before you need to remove and re-apply them. Just like any other human hair extension, however, it depends on how well you take care of them and on how quickly your hair grows.

Nano ring hair 

Nano ring human hair extensions are a type of hair extension system made of real, 100% human hair that is attached to the natural hair using nano rings.

The nano ring method is a relatively new technique for attaching hair extensions and is considered to be less damaging to natural hair as it does not require the use of adhesives or heat.

Nano-ring extensions are individual hair strands that are attached to the natural hair using small, lightweight rings that are about the size of a grain of rice.

The nano rings are slid onto the natural hair strand and then clamped shut using special pliers. This creates a secure bond between the natural hair and the hair extension strand.

The benefits of nano ring human hair extensions include:

1. Natural-looking results: Because the hair extensions are made from 100% human hair, they blend seamlessly with natural hair and provide a more natural, fuller look.

2. No damage to natural hair: The nano ring method does not use any adhesives or heat, which means it is less damaging to the natural hair than other extension methods.

3. Easy to maintain: Nano ring extensions can be washed and styled just like natural hair, making them easy to care for and maintain.

4. Long-lasting: With proper care, nano ring human hair extensions can last up to 6 months.

Overall, nano ring human hair extensions are a great option for those looking to add length and volume to their natural hair without causing damage or sacrificing a natural-looking finish.

Nano ring human hair extension is the newest method of strand-by-strand extension techniques. This is a No Heat, No Glue, No Clip, and No Sewing method. The Hair is secured using a TINY undetectable 2mm Nano Ring that is 90% smaller than a standard Micro Ring! A special tool, a Nano ring loop applicator, is used to secure the bead to the hair and tightened it to hold it in place.

The application tips are comparably small and flexible, therefore, the strands can be attached to thin areas such as the crown and hairline, as well as placed against the scalp. Customers love the technique because the Nano Ring is lightweight and flexible. The other benefit of using nanorings is that they are completely safe for natural hair.

Maintenance time:

Nano ring hair extensions are considered semi-permanent. Typically, they last 3 – 4 months before you need to remove and re-apply them. Like micro ring human hair extensions, nano ring hair extensions need re-positioning every 3 – 4 months as the natural hair grows and the nanobeads move away from the scalp, depending on the regrowth and how you take care of the extensions, however, it depends on how well you take care of them and on how quickly your hair grows.                  

Micro loop ring hair 

Micro Loop Ring human hair extensions are a type of hair extension that uses small metal rings to attach individual strands of hair to a person's natural hair. The micro rings are applied to the client's hair using a specialized tool, and then individual strands of human hair are looped through the rings and clamped shut.

This method is a popular choice for people who want to add length or volume to their hair without the use of glue, heat, or other harsh chemicals. Micro loop hair extensions come in a variety of lengths, colors, and textures and can be washed, styled, and maintained just like natural hair.

Micro link hair extensions are also known as micro bead hair extensions or micro loop ring hair extensions

The Micro Loop Ring method is one of the most negligible and most undetectable Hair Extension techniques available. There is no glue or sewing involved with the Micro Ring method, and there is no damage to your hair.

This technique can be done on all types of hair. The extension is fixed using a micro ring that is tightened around your hair strand and the extension strand to keep them attached. A special tool, a Micro loop applicator, is used to secure the bead to the hair and tightened it to hold it in place.

Customers love the technique because the Micro Ring is lightweight and flexible. The other benefit of using micro rings is that they are completely safe for natural hair.

Maintenance time:

You can wash them the same way you would your natural hair and use the same styling products. Like fusion hair extensions, micro ring hair extensions need re-positioning every 3 – 4 months as the natural hair grows and the microbeads move away from the scalp, depending on the regrowth and how you take care of the extensions.

Micro Ring Swift Weft Hair 

Micro ring Swift weft human hair extensions are a type of hair extension that uses a micro ring to attach the weft of hair to the natural hair. The weft is made up of human hair strands that are sewn together. These extensions are popular because they are discreet, hard to detect, and can be easily hidden under your natural hair.

The micro ring works by clamping the weft of hair to the natural hair. The rings are small, so they are not noticeable, and are available in different colors to match your hair. A hook is used to thread a small amount of natural hair through the ring, and then the weft is placed on top of the ring. The ring is then clamped shut, securing the weft and natural hair together.

Micro ring Swift weft human hair extensions can be applied in many ways, depending on the desired result. They can be used to add length, volume, or color to your natural hair. They are also reusable, which means they can be taken out and reapplied several times.

One of the benefits of micro ring Swift weft human hair extensions is that they are easy to maintain. You can wash and style them just like your natural hair.

However, it is important to have a professional stylist install and maintain your sew-in hair extensions to prevent damage to your natural hair.

What is the best Hair extension method?

The answer to this question is all a matter of opinion. Some Hair Extension stylists swear by their method because they don’t know any other. A good human hair extensions expert will be able to help educate the advantages and disadvantages of a variety of techniques.

Things to bear in mind:

Despite what you may have heard, human hair extensions when fitted, maintained & removed properly will NEVER damage your hair.

There are only 3 ways in which they could cause damage:

• If they are not fitted by a qualified Hair Extension specialist.
• If you do not care for them correctly and follow the aftercare advice.
• If they are removed incorrectly.

You may expect some discomfort for the first week or so, this is just because your scalp is getting used to the extra weight of hair that has been applied. If this happens you will get small itchy bumps at the root of your hair.

Nine times out of ten this will disappear after a few days and is just your scalp getting used to the extra weight. Your hair sheds daily as part of its natural process losing around 50-100 strands a day. Just because you have Human Hair Extensions doesn't mean this process stops. It continues but since your hair is held together by the human hair extensions it becomes trapped therefore not falling out into your sink or brush.

When you remove your Human Hair Extensions all the natural hair that should come out daily would be released and it appears as though a lot of hair is coming out at once, so don't worry, it is just all the daily build-up in one go. Human hair Extensions need maintaining and looking after.

You must be willing to spend time on them and have the patience to look after them otherwise they will not stay in good condition. Longer Human Hair Extensions tend to be harder to look after than short ones. Human Hair Extensions may also itch and be uncomfortable for a few days after fitting.

This tends to be just above the nape of your neck, in the middle, and around your crown as these are the most sensitive areas of your scalp. This will fade as your hair becomes accustomed to the Human Hair Extensions.
