Focus on Prebonded Extension
What exactly is Prebonded Extension ?
First and foremost, Prebonded extension, also known as K-tip extension, is undoubtedly one of the oldest hair extension techniques. It was once reserved for the stars of music and cinema because of its relatively high cost. Today, this is no longer the case, anyone can have a beautiful, thick, and long hair and enjoy all the benefits of this type of extension.
But what is Keratin? Keratin is a molecule naturally present in hair and nails. This insoluble protein is also found in the skin and hair of humans, as well as in the feathers, claws, and scales of some animals. Keratin plays a protective role in strengthening and repairing hair by filling in the scales.
Moreover, once it solidifies, Keratin is very resistant. This is why it was chosen as the base for attaching extensions.
Prebonded Extension Techniques
There are various techniques for attaching hair extensions, and the technique used depends on the type of hair. The advantage of Prebonded extensions is that they are suitable for all hair types.
For k-tip extension, the intervention of a professional is mandatory (yes! It is more than necessary to have a professional install your extensions to ensure the quality of the installation).
The extension is attached to your hair using a Prebonded tip, which is heated with a special extension heating clamp to soften it and integrate your natural hair. The installation is done using a portfolio technique between the extension and your hair, and voila! To make the effect as natural as possible, the professional leaves a 1 cm space between each extension.
The installation of k-tip hair extensions takes an average of 2 to 2.5 hours. The result is visible for 3 to 8 months after installation, depending on the rate of growth of your natural hair.
Note that at RH Excellence, you have three ranges of installations available according to your budget and preference. There is the "Premium range" for an entry-level installation. Then you will find the "Excellence range," which is of superior quality and mainly used by professionals. And finally, the "European range" which is the highest range available on the hair extension market. The latter is recommended for those who are the most demanding in terms of quality and results.
