U Tip Hair Extensions

U Tip Hair Extensions, also known as keratin bond extensions, are individual strands of hair that are pre-bonded with a U-shaped keratin tip. They are applied to your natural hair using a heat tool that melts the keratin, securing the extension to your hair.

With proper aftercare, Fusion Bond Hair Extensions can last up to 3 months.

Yes, U Tip Hair Extensions can be applied to most hair types, but they are particularly effective for individuals with thick or coarse hair due to the keratin bond’s strength. However, it is best to consult with a stylist to ensure they are suitable for your hair.

A stylist will use a heat tool to melt the keratin bond at the tip of the extension, attaching it to small sections of your natural hair. The process usually takes a couple of hours, depending on the amount of hair being applied.

For a full head of U Tip Hair Extensions, you typically need between 100 and 150 strands, depending on the volume and thickness of your natural hair.

Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to maintain the bonds and extensions. Avoid oil-based products near the roots, and brush your hair gently using an extension-friendly brush. It is also advisable to tie your hair in a loose braid or ponytail when sleeping to avoid tangling.

Yes, you can style U Tip Hair Extensions with heat tools like curling irons or straighteners. However, it's important to avoid applying heat directly to the keratin bonds to prevent damage.

When applied and removed by a professional, U Tip Hair Extensions should not cause damage to your natural hair. Proper aftercare and regular maintenance will help keep your natural hair healthy.

U Tip Hair Extensions should be removed by a professional. They will use a bond remover to break down the keratin bond, allowing the extensions to be easily removed without damaging your natural hair.
