How Hot Fusion Hair Extensions Work:
Hot Fusion Hair Extensions use small keratin-based bonds that are melted onto natural hair strands using a heating tool. The bonds harden as they cool, creating a strong, semi-permanent attachment.
✔ Pros:
✅ Long-lasting (3-5 months) – Great for long-term wear.
✅ Secure hold – Bonds stay in place even with vigorous styling.
✅ Lays flat against the scalp – Perfect for sleek updos and ponytails.
✅ Minimal slippage – Ideal for active lifestyles.
✖ Cons:
❌ Requires heat application, which can weaken hair if done incorrectly.
❌ Professional removal needed – Must be dissolved with a special solution.
❌ Heavier than tape-ins or micro-links – May feel less natural for some.
❣️Best For: Those who want durable, long-term hair extensions and don’t mind heat application

What You’ll Need:
✔ Hot fusion keratin bonds
✔ Specialized heat clamp
✔ Sectioning clips
✔ Fine-tooth comb
✔ Heat protectant spray
Step-by-Step Application:
1. Prep Your Hair
Wash and dry your hair thoroughly (no conditioner or oils).
Lightly tease the roots where bonds will be placed for better grip.
2. Section Your Hair
Divide hair into small, even sections (about ¼ inch wide).
Clip away the rest to keep it organized
- Attach the Bonds
Take a small strand of natural hair and thread it through the keratin bond.
Use the heat clamp to melt the bond, sealing it securely.
Hold for a few seconds until the bond hardens.
- Repeat & Blend
Work from the nape up, placing bonds in a staggered pattern.
Once all extensions are in, style as desired.
❣️Pro Tip:
Avoid placing bonds too close to the scalp (about 1 cm away is ideal).
Use heat protectant if styling with hot tools near bonds.
What You’ll Need:
✔ Bond remover solution

Step-by-Step Removal:
- Apply Bond Remover
Spray or apply keratin bond dissolver directly onto each bond.

Never pull—this can cause breakage!
- Wash & Condition
Shampoo to remove residue, then use a repairing mask.
Let hair rest before reapplying extensions.
