Are keratin bond hair extensions bad for you? | Abingdon | Didcot | Wantage | Oxfordshire

Keratin bond hair extensions are a form of hair extensions method. These are typically small batches of hair held together with keratin ‘tips’, a natural protein that is also found in your hair. The extensions are applied in a discreet manner just off your root to sections of hair forming a secure bond. The end result is a soft looking finish that blends your new hair with your existing.

Keratin bond extensions are a favourite among clients, particularly those with fine and/or shorter hair because they are discreet and long-lasting without the weight of a comparable application method such as  nano rings. On average you can expect keratin bonds to last up to three months before reapplication is necessary.

Yes, it helps a lot. If anything this will be the single most important component of hair health. Long-term use of hair extensions will cause issues further down the line. Short to medium term, most forms of hair extensions if undertaken by an experienced Stylist won’t create issues, however strong aftercare, managing expectations, haircuts and rest when needed go some way to supporting your long-term hair health. So long as you follow your Stylists recommended plan, you won’t encounter many obstacles. While keratin bond extensions are designed to be gentle, continuously wearing them without a break can lead to cumulative stress on your hair. Most stylists will advocate taking a break of at least a few weeks between extension sets after a certain timeframe.
