What k-tip extensions are
K-tip extensions, also called keratin bond or fusion, are single strands with a keratin tip that is heated and fused to a small section of your own hair.
Best for
Adding length or filling specific areas with individually placed strands.
Worth knowing
- Each strand is placed on its own, so the result can be precise.
- Fitting takes longer than tape-ins or wefts.
- The bonds are removed with a professional solution. Do not pick at them.
- Regular check-ups help the bonds sit flat and stay comfortable.
Looking after them
Brush gently from the ends upward, avoid oils on the bonds and book re-fits on your stylist’s schedule, typically every few months.
Questions to ask a London salon
- How are the bonds applied, and with what heat?
- How long will fitting take?
- What does removal and re-fitting cost?
