There are several methods of attaching extensions to your own hair and the method you or your extensionist uses will depend on a few factors. Not everyone is suitable for all methods of bonding; cost may be an issue in deciding on the method to use as may your ethnicity and how long you intend to wear your extensions for.

Fusion
This method is the most popular to use on Caucasian hair and is done strand by strand in small sections. Using heated Keratin either in a glue gun or granules in a melt pot. The bonding agent is always applied to the extension hair and never to your own. This is a great method as bonds can be varied in size depending on area of placement. Lasts for 3 months + but maintenance will need to be carried to replace lost bonds or to move extension up as your own hair grows.
Pre-bonds
This method is similar to Fusion because it uses Keratin to attach the extension to your own hair. The hair is supplied with a bond attached, your own hair is placed next to the extension and the pre-bond is heated with a special tool, the Keratin bond is then rolled around your hair to form a neat bond. Lasts for 3 months + but maintenance will need to be carried to replace lost bonds or to move extension up as your own hair grows.
Micro Rings/Tube Locs
This is classed as a “Cold Fusion” method and is popular in the USA. Again done strand by strand in small sections your hair is gently looped through a small metal ring, a pre-bonded Stick type extension is then put through the ring which is then clamped with a special tool to flatten the ring. Lasts for 3 months + but maintenance will need to be carried to replace lost bonds or to move extension up as your own hair grows.
Shrinkies
This method uses pre bonded I Tip (Stick/Lace) hair and the Shrinkies come in clear and dark, however clear is best as it is practically invisible in the hair. Hair is pulled through the Shrinkie and an extension piece is added, a heat clamp then shrinks the Shrinkie around the hair. Lasts for about 6 weeks.
Weaving
With this method you create a corn row or track around the head and close to the scalp. The extension hair is then sewn onto the tracks in weft pieces. Overtight braiding can sometimes cause Traction Alopecia. Your own hair lays over the tracks for a natural look. This method is most popular with Afro Caribbean hair.
Bonded Weft
Bonding glue is applied onto a weft of extension hair which is then applied at the root of your hair – not the scalp. This is a temporary method and although popular for Afro Caribbean hair is gaining in popularity for Caucasian hair. This is also called Hollywood Bonds. Needs frequent repositioning.
Clip In Extensions
Small grip clips are sewn onto hair wefts, these can then be clipped in and out by yourself, a very flexible method but may take some practice to get placement perfect.

The methods of attachment that I use are Micro Rings, and Tube Locs. These methods will leave you with free flowing hair that you can run your fingers through and I will discuss each method with you at consultation in order to determine which best meets your needs.
