UntitledWhen looking into hair extensions it is important to choose the right attachment method for the look you are going for as well as the type of hair that you have. There are a number techniques from weaving, clip ins, chemical bonding, and fusion. There are, however, two types of fusion and it is important to know the differences between the two if you are intending on taking this route to attach your extensions. These types of fusion are cold fusion and thermal, or heat fusion.
Both approaches do the same thing, except in different ways. For example, both cold and thermal fusion attach the hair extensions on a strand by strand basis. This allows for excellent coverage and an extremely natural look because the extensions will fall naturally the way your normal hair does. Because of the great amount of detail that goes into applying these extensions, in can take many hours to complete so it is good to understand that whether you are choosing cold or thermal fusion, you will be sitting for quite a while. The upside is that by maintaining extensions that are fused to your hair you can keep your hair extensions looking great for a longer period of time that virtually any other attachment method out there today.
Thermal or heat fusion uses a heat gun to melt the bonding agent that is at the tip of the hair extension. The tip will then fuse to your hair strand and will create a long lasting bond. Thermal fusion is a very popular way to apply hair extensions because they last a long time and can be applied very precisely to obtain exactly the look that you want. One drawback is that thermal fusion uses heat which can be damaging to your own hair if it is not done properly.
Cold fusion is a modern and revolutionary technique for applying hair extensions. Cold fusions uses ultrasonic waves, also known as sound waves, to soften the tip of the hair extensions and allows you to be able to bond the hair extension to your hair without subjecting your hair to the possible damages of heat. There is also no risk of burning the scalp with cold fusion so the hair extension can be applied much more closely to the root of the hair strands because there is no risk of burning.
