Keratin Bond Extensions

What are Keratin Bond extensions and how are they applied to the hair?

The extension is tipped with a small keratin protein bond, which is fused to the natural hair. This method is great for all types of hair, but is always the top choice for those with fine to medium hair as the bonds are so discreet, and gentle on the hair.

Why get hair extensions?

• Get your dream hair within a few hours.
• Lacking confidence due to fine hair, just add fullness!
Add instant length!

• Temporary fix for a regretful choice in change while your hair grows back.

Are Keratin bonds right for me?

This method is great for all types of hair, but is always the top choice for those with fine to medium hair as the bonds are so discreet, and gentle on the hair. In addition, the hair can still be worn up in a ponytail. Keratin bonds, if applied correctly are also the least damaging and the longest-lasting meaning you have luscious, longer & thicker hair for up to 6 months, without the expense of 6 weekly move-ups.

How do I know how many I will need?

This all depends on the look you desire to have and the amount of fullness and length your natural hair is.

Highlights \ spicing up your colour : 10 - 20 Keratin Bond Extensions tactically placed will enhance any style.

Fine Hair : Approximately 20 micro keratin Bond pieces will add instant volume and life. Approximately 50-75 Hair extensions will create lots of volume, add and change the shape of your style. 80 - 90 Keratin Bond Extensions will add length and volume.

Medium hair : Approximately 50-80 Keratin Bond extensions are needed to add length and volume.

Medium to thick hair: Approximately 90-140 Keratin Bond extensions are needed to add length and volume.

Do I have to have a break from extensions?

Keratin bond hair extensions are known to be the safest most gentle attachment and are safe to wear even on the finest hair (must be applied by an experienced stylist). You can have Keratin Bond for years with little to no down time, our hair extensions specialists pride themselves on damage-free applications.

Can I reuse my keratin bonds?

Keratin bonds can’t be reused as they are a permanent hair extension. They suit those who want a low maintenance option with long term wear.

Keratin bonds don’t require removal and reapplication every 6 weeks like other hair extension types. Another advantage is you will save on reapplication costs.

What happens to my keratin bonds if i can't reuse them?

Once we have removed your keratin bonds we send them to England to a Foundation called ‘ Little Princes foundation ‘.

This is a foundation that allows any child under the age of 18 ANYWHERE in the world that is or has suffered from Cancer, trauma or any hair loss diseases to apply to have a bespoke wig made for them free of charge.
