Keratin Extension Virgin

Keratin extensions are attached by melting a keratin-based adhesive or wax located at the end of each extension to your natural hair using a heat source, typically a special heat tool. This creates a durable and concealed connection between the extension and your own hair.

You can find a heat tool for Keratin application in the styling/accessories section.

Keratin extensions are generally not harmful to your natural hair when properly applied and maintained. Damage can occur if they are removed improperly or if maintenance is lacking. Correct removal and care are, therefore, essential. If you want to minimize wear and tear on your natural hair, tape extensions may be a better option for you.

To maintain Keratin extensions, you should:

Use a special brush with soft bristles to avoid pulling on the bonds. Start at the tips and work your way up slowly. Avoid oil-based products near the bonds, as this can weaken the adhesive. Sleep with your hair in a braid to prevent tangles and knots around the bonds. Visit your hairdresser for regular adjustments to maintain the bond's tightness. Keep your hair clean and well-nourished and avoid excessive heat from styling tools.

The duration of Keratin extensions can vary, but they can last from 3 to 6 months or longer. Factors such as how they are maintained and how quickly your natural hair grows should be considered.

The keratin bonds should be small and discreet, and when applied correctly, they should be relatively invisible in the scalp. The hairdresser will typically place them in a way that blends naturally with your own hair. It may feel a little different at first, but you'll quickly get used to it.
