A Beginners Guide To Pre Bonded Hair Extensions

Pre-bonded hair extensions are a great way to enhance your hair with extra volume, length, or even highlights. These extensions, often made from human hair, are attached to your natural hair using keratin glue. Known by different names like fusion bonds or keratin pre-bonded extensions, they all essentially work the same way – individual hair strands are bonded with keratin glue and applied to your hair.

Types of Pre-Bonded Extensions

Pre-bonded extensions come in a variety of forms. At Superior Hair, we have U-tip, Nano tip and Flat tip extensions, each having a unique method of attachment:

  • U-tip Extensions: U-tips feature a keratin bond shaped like a "U." They are attached using a heat fusion method, where a heat tool melts the keratin bond, fusing it to your natural hair.

  • Nano Tip Extensions: Nano tips are similar to I-tips but feature a smaller, more discreet attachment method. These extensions are applied using tiny rings that hold the hair securely in place without the use of heat. Their smaller size allows for a more seamless and less noticeable attachment.

  • Flat Tip Extensions: Flat tips have a flat keratin bond that lays flat against the scalp. They can be applied using heat fusion or micro rings, depending on the desired method.

There are also fusion-bonded extensions (often just another term for U-tip and flat-tip extensions), which are bonded to your hair using heat.

Advantages of Pre-Bonded Extensions

Pre-bonded hair extensions offer numerous benefits that make them a popular choice for those looking to enhance their hair. Here are some key advantages:

  1. Long-lasting: Pre-bonded extensions can last from 3 to 6 months with proper care.
  2. Natural Look: When applied correctly, they blend seamlessly with your natural hair.
  3. Variety of Application Methods: You can choose between heat fusion or ring attachment based on your preference.
  4. Styling Options: You can style these extensions just like you would with your natural hair. You can curl, straighten, or wear them in different hairstyles without worrying about them looking unnatural.
  5. Less Maintenance: While regular care is necessary, pre-bonded extensions typically require less frequent maintenance compared to clip-ins or other temporary extensions.
  6. Suitable for Various Hair Types: Pre-bonded extensions are adaptable to different hair textures and types, making them a versatile option for many individuals.

How to Maintain Pre-Bonded Extensions

Taking care of your pre-bonded extensions is simple but important. Here’s what to remember:

  1. Use sulphate-free shampoos to avoid weakening the bonds.
  2. Avoid heat tools near the bonds.
  3. Brush gently to prevent tangling and pulling at the bonds.
  4. Regular salon visits are essential to keep your extensions looking fresh and securely attached.

How Long Do Pre-Bonded Extensions Last?

The lifespan of pre-bonded extensions depends on how well you maintain them and how often they are reapplied. With the right care, these extensions can be reused. Most people need reapplication every 8-12 weeks as their natural hair grows, causing the bonds to shift.

Do Pre-Bonded Hair Extensions Damage Your Hair?

As long as they are applied by a qualified technician and cared for properly, pre-bonded extensions won’t damage your natural hair. Poor application or care, however, can cause issues, so it's always best to consult with a professional.

Pre-bonded hair extensions offer a long-lasting, natural-looking way to transform your hair. Whether you go for U-tips, I-tips, or nano rings, these extensions provide a beautiful, seamless result with the care and maintenance.

10 Surprising Things You Didn’t Know About Hair

10 Surprising Things You Didn’t Know About Hair

  Do you have a nightly skin care routine? Of course you do. How about a hair care regime before bed?  Taking care of your hair is just as important as your nightly skincare routine. In fact, treating your hair at night time will help you make the most of your beauty sleep and achieve your hair goals. Hair care is even more important if you have invested money in quality hair extensions from Superior Hair Extensions because you know they need TLC to lengthen their lifespan. So let’s take a look at how you can change up your night-time hair care for the better. WHAT NOT TO DO We’re all guilty of going to sleep without much thought of our hair health. But there are some habits you should definitely break if you want to wake up with beautiful hair. 1. Don't go to bed with wet hair There are several reasons not to go to bed with wet hair – it can cause severe hair breakage, encourage bacteria growth on your pillow, cause hair loss, make you feel cold, and make your hair appear dull and harder to style.  If you do need to shower before bed, make sure you dry your hair before your head hits the pillow – we recommend using heat protectant and hair dryer to dry your hair.  3. Don't leave your hair tied up Leaving your hair tied up in a tight ponytail or bun can cause damage to your hair while you sleep, leaving you with broken hair around the area of the hair tie.  No one likes hair breakage, so if you do need to sleep with your hair tied up, make sure it’s in a braid, secured with bobby pins or wrapped in a loose bun.  4. Don't go to bef with hairspray on  Going to sleep with hairspray, gel or other styling product in your hair can result in transfer to your pillow, which overtime can build up and get on your face, ultimately blocking your pores and resulting in acne and pimples. WHAT TO DO There are a few simple changes you can make to your bed time routine to have your hair looking fresh and luscious throughout the day. 1. Invest in a satin or silk pillowcase Silk and satin pillowcases sound a little fancy, but you will be impressed with how sleeping on a satin or silk pillowcase can help to keep your hair tame throughout the night and make it more manageable in the morning. 2. Become besties with braids Not only do braids help you achieve effortless and heatless beachy waves overnight, they also keep your hair a bit more protected while you sleep. Braids work great to tame your tape hair extensions while you sleep. 3. Scalp massage for the win We all know how good it feels when you’re at your hair salon, head back in the basin and your hair dresser starts with the scalp massage – HEAVEN. But did you know that regularly massaging your scalp is a great way to stimulate hair growth.  Try giving yourself a scalp massage as you apply hair serums or treatments to make the most of your hair care. 4. Keep moisturised Moisturising plays a key part andof skin care hair care. Keep your hair hydrated by applying a deep hydrating conditioner, leave-in hair serum or restorative hair treatment once a week. 5. Make sure you get your beauty sleep Getting enough sleep seems to be the answer for most issues, but that is because sleep is an essential function to your entire body – from repairing muscles to caring for your hair.  Follow your hair care routine, climb into your pyjamas, and aim for a minimum of 7 hours of quality sleep each night.
