What are Keratin Bond Extensions?
If you’ve never had keratin bond hair extensions, here’s what you need to know! These semi-permanent hair extensions differ slightly from other methods because they come in individual strands instead of wefts. Each extension strand is attached to the natural hair using a protein called keratin, which is used as an adhesive. The keratin glue tips are melted and then attached to the hair near the roots in small sections. You may also see these extensions called fusion, bonded, flat-tips, I-tips, or U-tips.

Now that you know what keratin extensions are, you’re probably wondering which brand to go with for the best keratin bond hair extensions. Any of the popular hair extension brands that offer them, such as BELLAMI, hairtalk, Hotheads, Babe, and many more, are great options. Take a look at their keratin bond hair extensions before and after photos to get an idea of what to expect from each brand. Each brand will have a range of lengths and colors, so find the one that works best for your hair.
