Fusion Hair Extensions











Fusion
Type of Hair used: "U" tip,  loose (rare)
Tools needed: "U" tipped hair, fusion wand, 
protective template (optional, but recommended!).
Recommendations: Finger protectors


Fusion is one of the most common methods of professional installation.
It is recommended for professionals only.



Installation:
Section the hair.
Take a section of  the natural hair, insert the protective template and clip it to the scalp.
Place the "U" tipped hair about 1/4" away from your scalp, then use your fusion wand to melt the keratin (the adhesive "U") to the natural hair (about 5 seconds) then roll! CAREFUL! it's hot still!  ;)

Removal: PROFESSIONAL REMOVAL ONLY!!!! Acetone dipped in cotton ball, then set over the attachment area for a short while, get some pliers, and CRACK, the bond, then comb out the hair. 



PROS:
  • Less visible than shrink links.
  • Long lasting

CONS:
  • Extension hair ("U" tips) are NOT reusable.
  • Difficult removal.
  • Improper installation can cause severe matting at hair root.
  • Must be careful of sulfate hair products, especially shampoos.
