Fusion Hair Extensions

What is Fusion Tip Hair?

Fusion hair extensions are easily blended strands fused together made to be long-lasting and free your hair from any potential damage.

Most importantly, they’re very versatile to withstand any hair look. There are two different types of fusion hair extensions which are more so based on how the extensions are applied: cold fusion and hot fusion.

Hot fusion hair extensions are more of a method where an experienced professional and a heating tool is involved. Cold fusion hair extensions are just as similar but come pre-tipped with a polymer that is gratin based.

This is so it can be easily attached to your hair’s root without any essential heating tool.

Hot Fusion Hair

Hot fusion hair extensions are thoroughly applied at the root of one’s natural hair and at the keratin-based tips with a heated tool such as the Satin Strands Dual tool.

They are applied in small bundles with the heated keratin adhesive. Surprisingly, against what many may think, this method of applying fusion hair extensions is more gentle to your natural hair since the majority of hair is made up of keratin.

To ensure they are properly applied and stable, it’s best they are installed by a hair profession that can shape the keratin around the hair. When it is properly shaped and formed on the hair, the keratin hardens making for a durable, long-lasting bond.

Cold Fusion Hair

Cold fusion hair extensions require no heat at all which some may think they make for a better option versus hot fusion hair extensions.

The keratin-based polymer, which is a fancy way to describe the type of extension it is, offers a bit more flexibility resulting in a more natural feel at the root since there is no glue involved.

So you may be wondering, “how are they applied and attached?” Simple! There are ultrasound waves that convert into mechanical energy that vibrates forming a crystallized bond that is long-lasting and invisible.

Since the extension bond is attached to a polymer, it is not affected by heat.

Product

It is a definite must to have a list of right hair products that your client can use to maintain their fusion hair extensions properly.

Using a shampoo and conditioner of top quality are among the most important products to have in your hair care arsenal. These two products will make sure your hair remains shiny and free from becoming dry, brittle, and dull.

If you’re wondering what type of wash system may be best, anything without sulfates is key. Sulfates have a tendency to cause the bond of the extension to deteriorate a lot faster than it should while also stripping color and essential oils.

For styling products, opt for some that are lightweight and have water as the first ingredient. Nothing with parabens or heavy ingredients should be included.

The great thing about lightweight products is they avoid the possibility of build-up which is not good especially with these bonded extensions.

Brushing

It’s not just about brushing your extensions to avoid tangling but more about brushing them properly.

Soft bristle or padded brushes are great for thorough detangling without all the damage. Hair extensions are just as similar to natural hair when it comes to detangling. You must be gentle to avoid breakage yet thorough, using the right tools.

It is always best when detangling to start from the bottom of the hair and work up towards the top. When it comes to brushing in order to detangle, do so in sections which can ensure the hair is properly detangled.

Washing

It is super vital to wash your hair extensions for the sake of their upkeep.

We’ve covered the importance of the type of products to be used but let’s talk about the importance of actually washing your extensions and the right way to do so. When it comes to shampooing your hair, it’s all about the motion and direction.

When washing at home, began washing your hair with an applied slow motion in the direction from top to bottom, gently working the shampoo in with good strokes.

Avoid the preconceived notion to scrub hard which can lead to severe matting and breakage of the hair extensions as well as your natural hair.

Hot Tools

It’s always best to use caution when using any type of heat tool to achieve a certain hair look.

Share advice on how to avoid concentrating a lot of heat on hair strands, especially at the root. It’s important for your clients to understand that doing this can cause issues with the tip.

It can cause the keratin to either become sticky while melting or to completely slip off the root. If heated tools are used, anything from a straightener to a curling wand, avoid high-level temperatures.

It’s no wonder fusion hair extensions have become of major popularity over time. There are many pros to these types of hair extensions that one should consider when looking to invest in them.
