Fusion hair extensions are one of the most popular modes of hair extension as they are one of the most traditional and oldest types of hair extensions. Fusion is loved by clients and stylists as they are long lasting, natural and trusted.
Fusion hair extensions are hair extensions attached to natural hair using two methods of fusing hair: cold fusion and hot fusion. Fusion hair extensions are attached for aesthetic purposes to add length and volume to existing natural hair. It is vital that you get it done by a professional hair stylist.
Professional fusion hair extensions can last usually for a time period of three to six months. But during this time period, occasional tightening and maintenance may be required. 18 inch fusion hair extensions are very popular.
Before the start of treatment, your hair stylist will examine your natural hair and suggest what type of fusion hair extension will suit you. The hair extension procedure may be quick or tedious depending on the method used. In both cases, bonding used is usually not obvious and is generally transparent.
According to the hot fusion mode, stylist uses hot glue to fuse hair extensions to the strands of natural hair. The glue is heated to a specific temperature and application is done by making use of a glue gun. The method is done section by section and takes up to nearly 16 hours for completing it. It needs to be done with extreme care to avoid scalp irritation and burning.
The fusion hair extension is usually done using a hair extension tip. This tip is a keratin protein bond, which is square shaped. The tipis in solid form till melted by a hair extension tool. The stylist holds a strand of natural hair equal to the strand of hair extension and keeps the bond over the section. The tip of the hair extension tool melts and makes the bonds soft. Using her fingers, the stylist molds and shapes the keratin that is melted around the hair. The keratin cools and hardens, creating a durable, sealed bond.
