Keratin Hair Extensions
Our Keratin hair extensions are the best quality Remy hair. They utilise U-tip bonds lined with silicone and are attached to your hair using a heating element. Your hair is placed between the U-tip and sealed with a hot extension tool that melts the bond to your hair. The silicone lining of the U-tip creates a barrier to protect your natural hair.
Keratin hair extensions are less visible than tape ins or clip ins and can be used on fine to thick hair. Keratin extensions are also less bulky and move a lot more freely when compared to tape in or clip ins. Our Keratin hair extensions are top quality Remy hair and can last up to 3 months when cared for correctly.

What is Remy hair? Remy hair is collected in such a way to ensure all strands remain aligned in the same direction to which it has grown. This eliminates tangling problems more commonly found in non-Remy hair. Because of this method of collection, this type of hair is in short supply and is priced accordingly.
