Keratin Bond Hair Extensions
Keratin Bond Hair Extensions involve hair individual hairs that have been bonded together at the ends by a keratin protein glue to form a strand that can then be applied to the root of your natural hair. As the hair extensions experts in London, we can apply Keratin Bond Hair Extensions using heated fusion or a cold fusion (which is why they are also known as Fusion Hair Extensions!).
Keratin Bonds are as small as a grain of rice and see-through which helps create a seamless blend between the hair extensions and your natural hair. This type of hair extension application is a popular choice among clients because it is long-lasting, low maintenance, and allows for styling versatility.
At Image Hairdressing Salons in Streatham & Bermondsey, we offer the best hair extension services in London with a variety of expert hair extension application techniques that are suited to you and your needs.

How Keratin Bonds Are Applied
We begin the process with a consultation to determine your desired length, volume, and texture for the extensions.
Next, the natural hair is sectioned, and each extension strand is attached near the roots using a heated tool that melts the keratin adhesive, allowing it to bond securely to the natural hair. If you'd like to keep heat away from your hair, we can apply the keratin bonds using a cold fusion instead. However, this process will take longer than the heated fusion process.
The extensions are carefully blended and shaped to ensure a seamless, natural-looking result. Once applied, keratin bond extensions can last for several months with proper care and maintenance, providing long-lasting volume and length.
How Keratin Bonds Are Removed
Removing keratin bond hair extensions requires our expertise and professional care to avoid damaging the natural hair.
First, a keratin bond remover solution is applied to the bond area, which softens the keratin adhesive, making it easier to break down. The extension strands are then gently squeezed or clamped to break the bond, allowing the extensions to slide out of the hair.
Once all the extensions have been removed, the hair needs to be thoroughly shampooed and conditioned to ensure that any residue from the adhesive is completely removed. We will always provide aftercare instructions to help restore the hair's natural health.

Can Keratin Bonds Damage Your Natural Hair?
«Our top priority is to maintain the health of our clients' hair. If your hair is extremely fine or lacks density at the roots, then Keratin Bond Hair Extensions may not be the choice for you. During a consultation, we will always ensure to discuss the right options for you and your hair type to ensure that your hair remains healthy.
When Keratin Bonds are fitted to healthy, thicker hair, which is strong enough to support the attachment points of the bonded hair extensions, then there should be no damage done to your natural hair. In fact, some clients even notice an improvement in their natural hair after removing Keratin Bond Hair Extensions as this technique reduces tension and strain on the natural hair as your hair grows.
What Is The Difference Between Round & Flat Bonds?
«Typically, Keratin Bond Hair Extensions are applied using round bonds. Round bonds squeeze the hair together and work to add more volume to the hair. On the other hand, flat bonds allow the hair to fall in a straight line closer to the scalp for a more sleek and seamless application.
Both applications are quick and easy! Depending on your hair type and the result you desire, we may mix round bonds with flat bonds.
What Is The Difference Between Hot Fusion & Cold Fusion?
«Cold fusion pliers transmit ultrasonic waves that create heat so that the bond can be melted, whereas hot fusion pliers directly transfer heat to melt keratin bonds. We offer both hot and cold fusion, depending on your preference.
What Is Keratin?
«Keratin is a protein that is found in both hair and nails. Therefore, keratin adhesive creates a long-lasting bond with the hair to ensure your hair extensions stay in place. Keratin Bond Hair Extensions can only be removed with a specialist removal tool and solution so make sure to book in for a removal appointment with our hair extensions experts if you'd like your extensions taken out.
