Heat Seal Hair Extensions











Heat Seals (This information will cover Synthetic hair)
Type of Hair used: Loose Synthetic
Tools needed: Synthetic hair, fusion iron, spirit gum (optional)
Recommendations
: High quality synthetic hair, such as a  monofibre.


This type of installation uses a braiding method,  and then slight melting and hardening of the synthetic hair.




Installation:
Section a strip of hair to be braided, add synthetic hair into natural hair by folding synthetic hair in half,  start a braid for about 1/2 inch, take a thin section of the synthetic hair and wrap it around the end of the braid a couple times, then use your fusion wand to melt  down the synthetic hair a bit, then press the melt hair between your fingers (roll if desired), it will then cool and harden forming a bond.



Removal: Twist the seal in the opposite direction until it cracks open, slide out the synthetic hair while undoing the braid.






PROS:
  • Simple method - only need a fusion iron
  • Quick
  • Great for long lasting extensions

CONS:
  • Bonds will be hard for the first week
  • Removal is tedious, and can damage finger nails.
  • Not very easy for DIY, especially for the back of the head.
