You love your short hair—it’s easy to style and manage. There’s nothing like the wash and wear lifestyle, right? This might be true, but let’s face it—there are moments that call for long, flowing hair. Longer locks work better for certain gowns, for example. And there might be days when you just want to wear your hair down in long, flowing curls. The good news is that with pre bonded hair extensions, you can change up your look in an instant.
How does this type of hair extensions work? Here are important things you need to know about pre-bonded extensions if you’re interested in them:
- You apply pre bonded nail-tip hair extensions by heating up the keratin tip found on one end of the extension and attaching/bonding it to your natural hair.
- Pre bonded hair extensions can be tricky to apply, so it’s best to leave its application in the hands of expert stylists. They can ensure that the keratin tips are correctly and safely bonded to your natural hair.
- Of all the types of hair extensions, pre bonded ones last the longest. When applied correctly, they can last around 12 weeks—although there are other brands that last longer.
- Make sure its keratin tip that’s at the end of the pre bonded hair extension rather than silicon-based glue since the latter can be tough to remove and may cause damage to your natural hair.
- You can remove pre bonded hair extensions by placing a few drops of acetone on the bonds. Also try almond, coconut, baby, or olive oil and use your fingertips to break down the bond. Gently comb the extensions out until none remain.
Pre bonded extensions are easily one of the most practical choices out there. They last a long period of time and don’t require frequent trips to the salon to maintain.
