As one of the oldest hair extension methods, the keratin fusion hair extension method will set your client back between $300 – $1000 (with an average of $550) plus the hair cost, roughly $200. And they have to be reset at a salon every three months. There’s also the option of cold-fusion hair extensions. These will last the wearer even longer. How much does it cost to get keratin hair extensions? It’s hard to give a clear price range for keratin hair extensions because the prices will vary based on different locations, salons, hairstylists, and the quality of the hair extensions. If we have to give a price range, keratin hair extensions can cost from $200 to $1,000, plus the installation cost paid to a salon. Cold fusion method could cost less without heating up adhesive: Some stylists use the “cold fusion” method. This term refers to hair extensions that don’t require heating and melting adhesive, even I-tip or micro-link hair extensions. However, new application systems such as the cold fusion system use ultrasonic machine irons to bond hair extensions to the wearer’s hair without heating it up and melting it. It is less damaging but likely costs more.

Fairly speaking, almost all types of hair extension methods, if applied appropriately, should not damage the wearer’s hair. But the fusion hair extension method involves glue and a heat gun, so we only recommend users get it installed by certified hairstylists.

The k-tip extension bonds will go down as hair grows longer. Every 3–4 months, the wearer must return to the salon for reinstallation and to replace the bonds. Our Remy hair k-tip hair extensions are reusable and can last up to a year if installed and cared properly.

The hot fusion hair extensions are to be attached and stuck with keratin melted several millimeters from the root of the client’s hair. Fusion extensions usually last for around six months. This installation will not damage the wearer’s hair if a professional stylist does it. 1. To install hot fusion hair extensions, your client’s hair should be at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) long to make the attaching points visible. The extensions are applied 5mm from the wearer’s scalp. 2. Make the Preparation rows. Pick a thin strand of natural hair using the tail of the comb. Insert the lock of natural hair into the template circle to protect the scalp. 3. Use a hot extension iron to heat the pre-tipped extensions to your client’s natural hair. The hair is to be fixed to the original lock expansion on the melting point of keratin. 4. When the keratin is no longer transparent, you need to roll it between your fingers so the extension and the client’s natural hair will bond. 5. Repeat the same steps above to put the locks all over the head. 6. In the end, brush the client’s hair lightly to allow natural hair and extensions to mix well.

Fusion extension, also called keratin fusion, keratin bond, or keratin tip hair extension, is a hair extension method used especially by professionals. There are two methods of fusion hair extensions, including hot fusion and cold fusion hair extensions. HOT FUSION Hot fusion hair extension is one of the oldest hair extension methods. It is a bunch of hair strands with some solidified glue at the connecting end. A heat gun, a fusion connector, will then be used to melt the glue to allow the extension to melt and fuse with the wearer’s natural hair strand. The keratin bond will solidify after a few seconds to hold the natural hair and the extension together. U-tip hair extensions, v-tip hair extensions, flat tip hair extensions, k-tip hair extensions, etc., are the most typical hot fusion hair extensions in the market. COLD FUSION Compared to hot fusions, cold fusion hair extension is a relatively new method that does not require heating during the application. It is applied by weaving hair strands into the micro link of the hair extensions. Micro link, nano link, and i-tip extensions are some typical cold fusion methods.
