By using a keratin bonding agent, these extensions are attached strand by strand to your natural hair, creating a look that is indistinguishable from your own hair. Fusion extensions are preferred for their longevity, making them an ideal choice for those seeking a long-term method.
Understanding Hot Fusion Extensions
Hot fusion extensions use keratin pre-bonded U tips that are melted and rolled onto small sections of your natural hair. This method ensures a secure bond that can withstand daily activities without causing any damage to your hair. Hot fusion extensions are among the most popular types and oldest methods of hair extensions, thanks to their durability and natural appearance. They last around 3 months in the hair but are not a reusable method like Nano tips and Tape ins, which is why they are not so popular now.
