Information of the keratin hair extension

A Keratin stick is heated in a hot melt gun. A small amount of natural Remy hair is then bonded to a small section of your own hair to add length and thickness. The Keratin Bond can withstand both heat and chemical treatments. An adhesive remover is used to remove the hair extensions dissolving the glue bonds to a powdery substance.

Keratin Fusion Extensions are very hard wearing extensions. They can only stay in for up to 12 weeks to ensure no matting of the hair between the extension and your scalp occurs. Keratin Fusion Extensions offer a natural appearance for thickness, and a wide range of fashion colors for highlights.

Keratin Fusion Extensions can last up to 3 months depending on your hair type and aftercare. You must attend monthly maintenance sessions to extend the life of your extensions and get longer wear out of them. If let much longer than 12 weeks your own hair at the root may become matted and it will become more difficult remove the extensions.

When applied professionally the Keratin Fusion Extensions are almost undetectable. Use the 100% Remy Human Hair and blend the colors to match your own hair perfectly. The Keratin Fusion Extensions feel like your own hair. You may even forget that you are even wearing them.

Keratin Fusion Extensions must only be fitted by qualified Natural Length Stylists. You will be advised on maintenance when you have them fitted. We will also advise you on aftercare and suitable products designed for use with Keratin Fusion. It is also advisable to use an extension friendly brush to get the most out of your extensions.

The most important advice for Keratin Fusion extensions is that the removal must be carried out by a Natural Lengths Technician within 12 weeks. During the removal you will notice you lose some hair. Your hair sheds on a daily basis as part its natural process. It is normal to loose 50 hairs a day! Just because you have extensions in doesn’t mean that this process stops. It continues but since your hair is held together by the extensions the hair is trapped in the installation and, therefore, not falling out into your sink or latching on to your comb or brush.

When you remove your hair extensions, all of the normal hair shed is then released and it appears as though a lot of hair is coming out all at once. If you are wearing your hair extensions for 8 to 12 weeks that’s around 5,000 hairs shed during this time naturally. The difference is that immediately after removing extensions your hair will look shorter to you, not only because you just removed the hair extensions but because from your perspective a large amount of hair has fallen out suddenly.

How to care the human hair wig

For whatever reason you have decided to begin wearing a wig, human hair wigs are the most natural and durable fibers to make wigs from although they are the most difficult to take care of since every time you get them wet they lose the style just like your hair does. It is different from synthetic wigs. While you can't make them be exactly like your own hair with the proper care they can look great and last for quiet sometime.

To achieve a natural appearance and unique color variations, all human hair wigs are chemically processed.  To give your wig the longest life, it is very important to use sulfate-free hair care products that are specifically made for chemically processed hair.  To wash your human hair wig, follow these steps:

1. Detangle the wig using a wig brush or comb.  Start at the ends and work upwards to the base of the cap.
2. Rinse the wig in cold water, with the water flowing in the same direction of the hair to avoid tangling.  Do not soak your human hair wig in a basin.  This will cause the hair to tangle and mat together. 
3. Using your fingertips and phosphate free shampoo specifically for human hair wigs, distribute the shampoo evenly throughout the hair.
4. Rinse with cold water to remove shampoo.  Rinse so that the water is flowing in the same direction as the hair. 
5. Remove excess water by gently patting with a towel. Do not wring or squeeze.
6. Condition the wig with wig conditioner, using your fingertips to distribute the conditioner evenly throughout the hair.
7. Remove the conditioner by rinsing with cold water.  To remove excess water, pat gently with a soft towel.  Do not squeeze or wring.  Allow the wig to air dry on a folding wig stand or a tall can of hairspray. 

Make sure you brush the hair daily and apply some leave-in conditioners to keep the hair soft and moist. A good leave-in hair treatment can keep the hair from drying. But remember not to put too much, otherwise, there will be a build up and make the hair feel too heavy. If the hair feels too dry or heavy with too much hair care products, you should wash the hair with good shampoo and conditioner. You may apply products such as Bio-Silk Therapy to keep hair manageable.

You may apply styling gel or mousse on wavy hair. Avoid hair products that contain alcohol. Alcohol makes the hair dry. It is best to air dry the hair but you can also blow-dry with low to medium heat. (Too much heat may damage/dry out the hair.)

For the WET & WAVE hair such as the French Refined and the European Wave, you may test the wave by wetting a small portion away from the rest. Place the hair on a desk, a small portion away from the rest, spray some water, and let it soak for about 15 seconds. Hold the top of the hair while it is on the desk and gently brush the wet portion from the bottom and watch it wave. Towel dry and scrunch it to wave up more. Blondes / lighter / mixed colors go through more excessive processing than darker colors. Therefore, the wave and condition may not be as good.
