The Science Behind It, yep the hair nerdy bit.
Keratin Bond extensions work by using the natural protein, keratin, found in our hair, skin, and nails. This protein gives our hair strength and resilience. When we use keratin as glue to attach hair extensions, it creates a strong bond that blends well with our own hair.
The process involves melting the keratin with heat and attaching the extension to our hair. This method ensures a solid but flexible attachment that lets the hair move naturally.
Caring for Keratin Bond Hair Extensions:
After investing time and money in getting these extensions, it’s essential to ensure they last. First and foremost, using Sulphate-Free shampoos and conditioners is a must.
Sulphates can break down the keratin bond prematurely, leading to slippage or shedding. Avoiding excessive heat directly on the bonds is also crucial, as this can weaken them.
Additionally, regular gentle brushing, starting from the ends and working your way up, can prevent tangling. You will be given a brush that is included in the total cost when having them installed by me.
Lastly, while keratin bond extensions allow for various styling options, it’s advised to avoid oil-based products near the bonds, as they can cause slippage.
Deciding What’s Right For You:
Choosing the right type of hair extensions depends on various factors, including lifestyle, hair type, desired look, and budget. Keratin bond hair extensions might be ideal for someone looking for a long-term solution and is ready to commit to the care they require, and following the aftercare instructions.
