Fusion hair extensions can be added to your natural hair to give you the extra fullness and length you desire without a lot of maintenance.
In the fusion bonding process, the stylist separates several strands of hair and bonds small sections of hair extensions to the scalp using a protein glue bond and either hot or cold fusion, which both give similar results. Fusion hair extensions generally last three to six months and can be styled and cared for just like your natural hair.
The extensions come in a variety of colors and textures to match your natural hair and generally do not cause damage to the real hair if properly cared for and removed. If not properly maintained, the bonds between the scalp and extensions can break, which can make the extensions come loose or even fall out. Oil-based hair products and heat styling tools can weaken the bonds.
If you choose to get fusion hair extensions, proper maintenance is essential. Do not wash your hair for 48 hours after getting the extensions. Do not wash your hair more than once every two days, and do not wash it upside down, scrub aggressively, or get shampoo or conditioner on the bonds. Use quality shampoo and conditioner and avoid products that contain sulfur and alcohol, since they can cause the bonds to break down faster.
Before showering and going to bed, brush your dry hair out completely with an extension brush to prevent the extensions from matting and tangling and to spread natural oils throughout the extensions.
When styling your hair with heat, apply a thermal heat protective solution. Do not flat iron or apply excessive heat to the bonds.
To avoid tangling and matting overnight, braid your hair into two side braids or put it in a high ponytail and sleep on a satin pillowcase. Never sleep on wet extensions, because this can cause matting.
In the summer, avoid water with salt and chlorine. If you go swimming, wear a cap.
Fusion hair extensions are a great way to give your hair extra length and fullness. With proper maintenance, they can give you the beautiful look you seek.
