Pre bonded hair extensions, otherwise known as fusion bonded extensions are one of the most well-known techniques available on the market. One of the oldest methods available, it is still popular amongst hair extension technicians today, even with
the development of newer methods such as micro rings and wefts. This method of extension looks the most natural and no one will know that you have hair extensions. You will always be able to look great.
Pre-Bonded, Nail Tip, U-Tip and Flat Tip. However, all refer to the same method of fitting. The name Pre-Bonded Hair Extensions' is derived from the pre-tipped keratin bond at the top of each strand, the hair has been bonded previously rather than using loose hair during a fitting.
Pre bonded extensions are fitted using a heat gun, which melts the small keratin bond to a section of the client's hair. Once melted the keratin is roled between the technician's fingertips to 'fuse' and cool into a solid bond.
As with all extensions types, this method comeswith it's set of advantages and disadvantages.
1. Will add length and volume to hair.
2. Can be customised to match or enhance the client’s hair colour. Individual strands mean a mix of colours can be used to add highlights and lowlights.
3. This method does not require the maintenance appointments that other fitting techniques do, meaning no maintenance costs — a real bonus for those on a budget. If worn for some time, ‘top up’ appointments can be arranged, during which bundles of new strands are added to thicken the overall look.
4. Pre-bonded hair extensions should last for around 3–4 months with effective aftercare.
1. The application of this method requires heat to melt and fuse the bonds to the hair, whereas other methods require no heat whatsoever.
2. The removal differs from other methods. It requires an acetone solution to break down the bonds. However, the use of heat and chemical solutions can be harsh on natural hair. Always ensure you visit a professional for extension application and removal.
3. Keratin is not invincible — heat and products should be used lightly around the bonds. Excessive heat can melt the bonds, causing them to slip or even fall out, so take care with straighteners and tongs to avoid damage. Likewise, certain products such as conditioners or argan oil can break down the keratin, making the bonds squishy and loose. Always apply conditioners or moisturising products only to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair to avoid damaging the bonds.
We hope this provides you with some insight into pre bonded hair extensions.
