Don't use the cheapest hair you can get because you pay for what you get. Look at the work of the people who do the extensions. Look at if they're doing clean lines, clean installation, and that they're using high-quality hair.

QuestionDo I have to heat the keratin first, before applying them to my hair?Community AnswerNo. You have to hold the extensions against your hair and then apply the heat. Heating the keratin on the hair creates a bond that attaches it. You then roll the extension to secure it.
-
QuestionCan I put my hair extensions in myself?Community AnswerYes, but you will need a lot of mirrors and a lot of time. Plan on an hour and a half to two hours for every 50 you're applying if you're working alone.
-
QuestionCan I apply these extensions with a flat iron if I don't have the tool?Community AnswerYes, but it's very tedious.
-
QuestionHow long do they last?Community AnswerFusion extensions last up to 6 months.
-
QuestionCan I use the heat method with I-tipped instead of U-tipped fusion hair?Community AnswerNo. I-tipped extensions are a different form of extensions, not to be melted.
-
QuestionShould I use pre-bonded or heat ironing?Community AnswerPre-bonded is the perfect professional tool.
-
QuestionWhere can I get a hot fusion kit with the hair to go with it?Community AnswerAmazon, eBay, and some ethnic hair stores. I used to see them at Sally's, but I think they've discontinued selling them. You can get a better price on Amazon anyway.

QuestionWhat if I don't have pre-bonded hair and I want hot fusion hair extensions?Community AnswerUse a low temperature glue gun with keratin glue. Cut some hair off the weft, glue over and under the hair and wait several seconds. Then, the goal is to close the entire bond around the entire piece of hair you're gluing it to, so roll as gently as you can while still making sure the bond is closed at the top and bottom.

QuestionHow do you remove them later?Community AnswerYou have to apply a removing solvent (alcohol-based) to the keratin bond and break it apart with pliers. Then comb out the leftover keratin from your hair.
