The keratin extension technique, also known as "hot fusion extensions," is the most widely used technique.
Although it is one of the longest application methods. Among the wide variety of hair extension techniques available, this type of hair addition is increasingly used by girls.
The keratin technique is the oldest. However, keratin extensions with pre-bonded strands ready to be attached to the hair are more recent.
It is still the preferred method of the best professionals, who believe in a perfect hair addition (lengthening) with Keratin. Since the keratin polymer is responsible for fixing the extensions by molecular fusion, which gives the hair a beautiful and natural finish.
Extremely comfortable, keratin extensions remain the preferred technique for film and fashion artists.
With this technique, women regain the freedom to live without having to worry about their hair extensions. While continuing to practice the same activities as before applying the extensions, such as exercising, going to the beach, the pool, and even the sauna.
Keratin extensions, in addition to their freedom advantages, offer 60 different shades of hair strands. You are sure to find your color.
Can any woman use hot or keratin extensions?
Yes, all women interested in application can use this technique. Because there are no restrictions on the color, length, thickness or volume of natural hair.
How is keratin extension applied?
The application of keratin extensions is quite meticulous. It begins even before the client arrives at the hair salon, with pre-treatment, if necessary.
This preparation is essential for clients who have natural hair with highlights (colors), or even those with very thin hair.
During the preparation, the extensions are prepared according to the needs of each client, with the sole aim of creating the much-desired natural effect that all women who use hair extensions seek.
In this type of process, extensions are supplied with a keratin polymer (a tip with a heat-activated adhesive, hence the name "hot extension"), but the adhesive is not applied directly to the client's hair. The extensions are attached to the hair so that the fusion is close to the root, becoming very discreet. This extension is an excellent option for those looking for long, voluminous hair with natural effects.
It should be noted that the hair strands (hair fibers) and the extension strands have the same quantity. And all this attention is to ensure more naturalness in the finish of hot extensions.
The application time takes approximately 4 hours for beginner hairdressers depending on the volume (length and thickness) of each person's hair, and 2 hours for experienced hairdressers.
Maintenance for this type of extension is carried out every 3 or 4 months. And the time will depend on daily care.
Special care with extensions
Of course, as with all types of extensions, keratin extensions require special care.
With this in mind, we list some of the care to be taken to increase the durability of the extensions. See below:
It is necessary to maintain weekly visits for hair care, such as hydration, which is essential.
You should also go to the hair salon to ensure the touch-up of the natural color of the roots, so that you can maintain the same tone as the extensions.
During the duration of the extensions, if necessary, cut the hair (extensions) with a professional. Often, the cut gives the hair the most natural appearance.
Use a leave-in cream - it gives flexibility to the strands and helps detangle them without damaging them.
Always detangle the extensions after washing - using the most effective detangling technique, from bottom to top. Start with the ends and gradually move up.
Never sleep with wet hair - as this practice can cause infiltration into the keratin capsule and proliferation of fungi.
Use specific products for hair protection at the beach and pool. And never apply them near the root. Remember that both the extension strands and your own hair need to be protected!
Keratin extensions (hot hair extensions) are indicated for lengthening, creating and increasing volume, filling gaps and/or providing beautiful bangs.
Those looking for a perfect finish and a natural effect usually seek out expert extension salons. Because professionals know the technique and are also best able to guide the ideal color of the strands according to the natural hair tone.
As with any procedure you do to your hair, you should consult your trusted hairdresser so that they can analyze with you the effect you expect from the extensions.
Together, you will also analyze the investment value that will cover the quantity, length, color, and shape of the chosen extensions.
We also remind you that the value of the work will also be added to this amount for the cost of the strands.
It should be noted that the hairdresser will plan the different options, but will always recommend the one that best suits your profile. This will include both your needs and the amount you are willing to spend on your hair extensions.
