hair that is attached to the length of
the existing hair through a thermal process.

celebrities like Selena Gomez are using them to get long hair. If in case, the
extension is nicely taken care of, they last up to a couple of months. The biggest advantage of using keratin extension
is that the keratin based glue doesn’t damage the hair at all.

small bunches of hair are attached to the
existing hair with the help of keratin based glue. This attachment is applied
at the roots of the hair, but it is not fixed at the scalp. A special heat
equipment known as the wand is used to apply keratin extensions and for the removal of
keratin hair extension, hair stylists use a special solution that removes the adhesive
without damaging the hair. Some hair professionals also use clips on extensions
to give a longer stay.
