Methods

Micro Rings

The most popular method used. This method is particularly suitable if you are growing your own hair. A tiny colour matched copper ring is applied over a small section of your own hair. This is nipped with the application tool and the ring holds the hair in place. This method takes about 2-3 hours. Maintenance of ring extensions needs to be carried out after about 6 weeks as the extensions grown down with your natural hair.

Nano Rings

These are the latest innovation in extensions application. The nano ring is minute. It is smaller than the tip of a ballpoint pen. They work using the same principle as micro ring extensions but are less visible. This method takes about 2-3 hours. Maintenance of ring extensions needs to be carried out after about 6 weeks as the extensions grown down with your natural hair.

Keratin Fusion Bonds

Real hair comes with a small nail shaped tip made of keratin. This is a substance that has the same make up as our hair and nails. The bond is held in place for a second or two with the extension tool while the bond melts and fuses round a small section of your own hair. This is smoothed into a tiny secure bond. Application will take approximately 2-3 hours. These bonds can be shampooed as your own hair, though it is advised you keep conditioner away from the bonds. A maintenance appointment will be required after 4 -6 weeks.
